ADDRESS OF '. F. GOODHART. Delivered at tho Hyperion Last Even- ] ing at the Republican State Gather lnG-A Negative Rec0rd-What she Present Democratic Administration Has Done for the People-The Pros per1ty Enjoyed by the Nation Under , Republican Rule-The Failures and Disasters That Have Followed With she Change of Affairs. Attorney J. P. Goohsrt delivered stir ing address at the republican rally at the Hyperion last evening. Ills topic was, ''What the Present Administration Has Given to the People," In opening he said that "this ought to and probably will be handed down to posterity as the Black Friday administration of our govern ment." Proceeding MT. Goodhart spoke in eloquent words of the glorious record made of the successive administrations of the republican party and various previous glorious events which had occurred in our nations history, to which every true American points with patriotic pride. Proceeding he specially spoke of the great prosperity that attended the country under the leadership of General Grant, of the peaceful and fruitful epoch under Garfield | and his successor, Arthur, of the benefits | and wealth that came to the country under | the benefcent results of the Mckinley bill. Proceeding he said:
 That was the situation when the demo- | crats entered upon the ora which will hencsferth be known as the era of Cleve- | landism, of panic and of poverty.
 And what was the first grand, glorious, patriotic accomplishment of the new ad- ministratione It was blot upon our na- tionsl honor. Blount was sent over to Hawaii with the instructions to do what no other American has ever done before and, we trust, may never see done again-to pull down the American flag, an emblem which promised peace and protection to all within the sacred confines of its magic in- Auence.
 The next diplomatic act which distin- guished this democratic administration was name of the United States of America, with the apparent sanction of it's highest authority, with Q corrupt, hcentio4s and bloodthirsty woman, to restore her to a throne which she had diseraoed and dis honored against the letter, the spirit and the whole theory of our American institu- tions and national life.
 Scarcely had that attack upon our na- tionsl dignity and honor been met and re- pulsed by republican watch dogs in the senate, when again the administration pro. oseds to throw our whole nation into con- fusion and alarm by introducing that emasculsts monstrosity, which out of res pset for It's quondam parent is known as | the Wilson bill, to which is now added the poor, measley, fatherless, knoek-knesd, | kiteless tail, known as the income tax, | which, by tho way, seems to be command | ing good deal more attention than 1t de- | serves, for If ever that Wilson bill goes down the peoples throat, about tho only incomes left to tsx will bs the democratic
 senator's stock dividend in the sugar trust. l We all know but too we'll the result. It
 was as If over a land filled with sunshine
 and plenty pail had fallen. We need but
 look about; each mornings paper tells the
 story. A nation that for years has been
 the exposure of the eyes of the world; 8 ! nation that for over 6 century represents
 the most astounding growth in history,
 suddenly tossed abous on the sea of uncer-
 tainty. The ploughman idle in the field :;
 the merchant bewildered st the prospect
 before him, with much going out and none
 coming in; ths mechanic, that pendulum
 of activity, gazing wistfully at the closed l factory doors; the manufacturer, ,uncertain
 
 into new fields of production, lessening his
 output, curtailing expenses and throwing
 millions out of employment, not knowing
 what move to make and what the next mo.
 ment may bring forth, speculation at q
 standstill, while that coterie of democratic
 spectators are calmly watching the death
 struggles of our commercial life which at
 present surround us and edifying us for
 months with what will hereafter be known | not as the Wilson bill, but the Wilson pill.
 All during these alarming times what is
 the administration doing to allay the suf.
 fering of the psop!e2 An enterprising re-
 publican endeavored to answer that quss.
 tion by publishing book of several pages On the cover it read: "What has This Con ) ! gross Done for the People4" ca opening
 the book it was answered by 8 series o1
 empty pages. But was this strictly aecu
 ratea I think not. They might truthfu!lJ
 have filled the book with pictures of looms now idle which formerly were running ) The workshops still and qnist as 8 Sabbatt morning that formerly were busy anG resonant with sounds of ths anvil. } might have told of the music of shol wheels that are now as client as the grave
 It might have told of the tales of suffering which this onslaught has produced, ant yet all the windy senators have done wa to engage In that most expensive and un satisfactory game, known as Yap Tap Tap.
 II Speaking of senators reminds me tha
 the senate of the United States Is said ts be the most aristoeratio club in the land Perhaps 1t is; but it appears to me ths } most of the time spent by the demccrati, portion of that august body seems to hay, been devoted to agricultural pursuits, par ! tioulariy to the cultivation of sugar beats By tho time, however, that the republican
 party gets through with those enterpristnf } individuals they will be willing to admi 7 that they are now sugar cured.
 But then this aggregation of democrati, l intellectually left no tangible impress up
 on the sand of time, for surely the opti mist says there is some good in all things ! feel that can do them justice by eayin, that at least in one respect we are thank | full to them.
 Ever since that unpleasantness in '61 which the democratic party dislike s. , much to sllude to, that party, and partic } ularly its administrative representative that gallant old stay-a homs war general Grover Cleveland has envied one of ou l adopted institutions, that grand institu , l tion which in my mind is the flower O 3 | our land, an institution which we republi l cans revere and love, and with whom lss ! week all over cur land our tears and their 1 mingled in memory of the eacred dead Wh, , gave up their lives for ths maintenance 0 3 principle-the Grand Army of the Rs public. This G. A. R. has been an eyesor , Co that party for years, but it need be n, } longer; they havs rival.
 Not to be outdone again the cry "On t,
 Washington" and a gallant army of dem , l ocratio soldiers, the legitimate outcome O Clevelandism, has found its way to ou } l national capital under the euphonious til,
 of "Coxey's army" If not to meet Gen : eral Cleveland, at least to sit on the capito ) | steps and see him go by, and when the, } arrived they got from their general abou l ! all that democrats sesm to be getting now adsys, namely, the Ego by."
 T All, good Grover, you and your admins traitor have, az witty newspaper man re
 marked the other day, followed closely i1
 the footsteps of the great Lincoln. Ht } freed 6. .ooo, 600 slaves; you have emanoi psted nearly as many from work.
 But are we not cruel saying thees thing,
 about an institution in the position of th. l present administration, an administration
 tottsring beneath the blows of itself on it. l present suicidal career. The comic papers
 are in the habit of illustrating the demo
 cratic party by that wise, but not always
 judicial animal, the jaekass; but that will
 soon have to cease, for that poor, miserable
 quadrupsd will soon be thing of the past.
 In letting its frsotious heels batter against 1 tho adamsntine walls of our industries, he
 will have kicked his poor, lonesome self to ] death, for nothing Is surer to knock ont
