BANGOR, MAINE, September s.-The
greatest audience ever gathered indoors
to hear a political speech in Bangor,
assembled in City Hall TO listen to Gov
ernor Mckinley, OF Ohio. Long before
the advertised time of the opening of
the meeting, the great hall was filled
TO suffocatIon. Every seat was
occupied and hundreds were obliged
10 stand, aud at least a thous-
and were turned away. Fully
800 people heard the speech, which
was received with manifestations of ap-
proval, showing that even In this quiet
campaign, interest in national affairs is
strong in Eastern Maine. After max
ing his speech in City Hall, Governor
Mckinley addressed an overflow meet
ing al Y. NJ. c. A. Hail. At the City
Hall meeting, Congressman Boutelie
presided and made a speech. Mckinley
began talking at SEQ
Governor Mckinley preiaced his ad
dress by warm tributes to James G.
Blaine and Hannibal Hamlin.
The Democratic President and Demo-
cratic Congress, be said, have been
running the government for eighteen
months, during which time little else
has been running. Industry has been
practically stopped. Labor has found
| little employment, and when emplo yed
| il has been al greatly reduced wages.
/ BOtn government and people have been
| draining their reserves and both have
| been running in debt. The Govern
ment has suffered in the revenues and
/ the people in their incomes. The total
losses TO the country in business, prop
ertv and wages are beyond calculation.
There has been no cessation in the
waste of wealth and wages, no content
ment, brightness nor hope
has anywhere appeared. The
appeals to charity have never
been so numerous aud incessant nor
their necessity everywhere so manifest.
Congress has disappointed the people,
trided with the sacred trust contded 10
il, excited distrust and disgust among
their constituents and impaired their
Investments. Pledged, /, platforms
mean anything, 10 overthrow our long
continued policy OF protection, they
have Quarrelled and COMPROMISED.
aud upon their own teSti
mony have been compromised.
The result of their long wranglng is
ftk hfch pnhnIu i
fed; a law which the Chairman on
Ways and Means, and almost the entire
Democratic side OF the House con-
demned by yea aud nay vote only
few days before It's passage, affirming
their intention in the most solemn man
ner not TO o. Lit il 10 DO enacted;
law which all factions of the Demo-
cratic party agreed was the work OF
monstrous trust, which Chairman
Wilson confessed in the House amid the
applause OF his confederates, with deep
chagrin, held Congress bY the throat"
A law of which the House Of Repre-
senlatives were so thoroughly ashamed
that they had no sooner passed II than
they made hot haste to seek its imme-
date ameudmen; by passing supplement-
tary bills which put their tarffed
sugar, coal, lead, iron and barbed wire
on the free list. Under threat OF still
further similar assaults on the much dis
turbed and distressed industries OF the
country, utterly needless Of the stu
pendous ruin they had already wrought.
q law which the President condemned
before its passage, and from which,
when passed, he withheld his approval.
A law which was characterized, before
its passage by the greatest leader in the
Democratic party, the senior Senator
from New York, as "a violation Of
Democratic pledges and principles"
and which was denounced by the official
head of the government as such an act
Of party peridy and party dishOnor;"
that IL the House should al last concur
10 il, they woaId not dare 70 look the
people OF the country in the face, and
which the executive still condemns
since their surrender, as the very
communion Of pelf." The President,
in mis- letter 20 Congressman Catchings,
OF Mississippi, says; The millions Of
our countrymen who have fought brave
II and we'll for tariff reform mot &C
ceptjng this bilD should be exhorted 10
continue the struggle, boldly challeng-
ing 10 open warfare, and constantly
guarding against treachery ana half
hearledness in their camp"
II the country was disposed 10 accept
this oil as fnal and could permanently
adjust business 10 II, the party In power
would not have II so. They have so
declared with boldness and upsnimity.
This means, unfortunately, constant
agitation until tue fourth day OF March,
1895. at the least, and for two
years longer after that, unless the peO-
pie in the Congressional elections this
year make the House Republican, in
which event no further wrecking Of
our industries or interference with the
labor of our people eau occur during
the ADMINISTRATION OF President CleTe-
land. What will your verdict be?
The adjusting committee went
through the whole list OF Senators very
patiently. They gave Senator Murphy
his duty on collars ana cuffs, they gave
the Senators from Tennessee, Alabama,
Virginia and West Virginia che duty on
coal and iron ore. They did not
give SAnator Brice protec-
tive taYIf on wool for his
AOhio constituents. for the Senator did
Rt demand 3. He says be did not He
uwn' US what concessions were
