Albany, N. Y, Oct. 15.-The joint
mass meeting held tonight by the Hill
and Cleveland factions, was most en-
thusiastic jolliication.
Governor Flower was put down for
| the main speech, speaking in substance
as follows:
Fellow Democrats:
This is a time when Democrats
| should stand up and be counted, and
if 1 do not mistake, the feeling of the
rank and file is that they are in line
| for battle
The governor warmly commended
Senator Hill as a statesman and Dem
ocrat
Continuing, he said: ''This is a
death-lil1e struggle with the party that
gave us the Mckinley bill in 1890
Those who inflicted our present evils
upon US now ask restoration to power,
when the country is just getting over
| the drunken debauch in which they
| left it. Our country is getting over it's
depression and in another year we will
be prosperous as a nation and on a
basis that will be enduring There is
not a line in the silver bill written in
your interest, because any law which
tends to make the currency of the
country unstable is not in the interest
of labor or capital, but to the hurt of
| both.
1--WE have revised the tariff and there
is not a line in it which will reduce
the wages of workingmen one cent
lower than they were in 1892
Cochran's Roast.
Hon. Bourke Cochran was intro
duced by Governor Flower. Great APP
| plause, lasting some time, followed the
name of the gentleman. Mr.. Cochran
said:
Two years ago I had the honor to
open the campaign which resulted in
| the election of Grover Cleveland. To-
night, 1 stand ready to give account
of the manner in which the admins
trati0n of Cleveland has discharged it's
stewardship. l believe that men can
not be deceived, that they can discern
between right and wrong, between a
system of legisla ton which is for the
good of the common people and Of
that which degrades them.
IF the bad times that have over
taken US be the outcome of twenty-four
years of Republican misrule, l believe
! the people will be able to trace the evil
to its. source. The Democratic party
has been bending for two years over
the PROSTATE form of American indus
try. My friend Reed will tell you
otherwise, but will people believe him
or them? No, their common sense tells
them better We are a nation with
fields as fertile and mines as rich as
they were thirty years ago. yet our
mills are stopped, our factories closed.
Why these hard times? If they came
not from God, they came from man.
| Why, my friends, this panic could not
! be caused by any legislation which
could be enacted in one or two years.
| No; the legislation which caused this
was the outgrowth of twenty odd
years rule of the Republican party.
{ The commerce of the nation is the
commerce of the individual.
FaIIacy of protection"
For thirty years of it's rule, the Re
publican party has advocated a system
Of protection. This, combined with de-
bauched currency, is the powerful fac
tor which has brought us our closed
factories, our unemployed thousands
our hard times. If any man can show
me how protection protects the work
lingman 1 will be the greatest of pro-
Itectionists. What we want is supply
which will fill the demands which are
compatible with the economic pros
iperity of our government. Tne So-called
protection does not give US this. We
must have a free circulation of money
You have noticed that whenever the
slightest uncertainty has attached IT.
Iself TO the currency of a country para
llysis resulted and when the banks and
manufactures of this country were
struggling through the dark cloud thai
hung over them, the plundering Re-
jpubiicans turned their backs ito thS
treasury they had looted. Talk to me
of protection
Protection from whom? Protection
from what? What country has our ad-
vantages, our people, our resources
What country is seeking protection
What country does England seel? pro
lection from if not from this giant Of
the west?
The causes of the strikes which have
shaken this country have been atribut
ed to Democratic rule, but what are
the causes if not the base system of tht
tariff taxation which the Republicans
originated? Our country is not devel
oped to its fullest and will never be I'M
der such a protective system of re-
striction. If the Republicans should
win this fall the people will show {
preference for personal avarice
rather than national principle-they
will show that they would rather KNOCK
a man down than set a nation up
Congressman Cochran was loudly APP
plauded at every point, and especially
at the mention of the names of C1eve
land, Flower and Hill.
The applause was tumultuous wher
the speaker appealed for religious toll
