Hon. Z q Slower addressed the meet

made two year. that the democratic
party wss . fraud. AMI he called upon
she people 70 witness the ample proof
whica had bsen furnished by that party
during the last two years. He tellingly
referred N their pension record. IN which
they cut OF thousands from the roll with
out inves, igation. but had been compelled
by public indignAtion TO restore the same
10 the lists again.
He showed up the hypocrisy Of the
democrats when they pledged that II the
sherman bill should be repealed, that
they would Immediately give US some
thing - good or better in I've place, and
asked what have they done.

He showed the utter absurciiiy Of rea-
souing by which democratic power had
taken the protection "a wool on the
ground that manufacturers could thus
furnish clothes for the poor 20 much
cheaper, hut that they lsft the protection
on the manufactured goods and allowed
manufacturers 20 control prices for both

In . few pointed conclusions he re-
