THEY DEMAND PROTECTION.
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Ninth
Precinct Republican Club.

A bonfire blaZed merrily in front of
1949 Market street last night and the
Ninth Precinct Republican Club of the
Thirty-seventh Assembly District had
many speeches addressed to it. Samuel
Rosenheim. acting president, was in the
chair and j. j. Greif was secretary. The
principal orator of the evening was Con-
gresham Eugene F. Loud. He spoke in
part as follows:
while il is true that we do not elect a
President OF the United States this year,
still this Campaign is one of as great i'm
portance as any we have passed through
since the rebellion. Ii is in State and
national politics, question of protection or
free trade. Under the policy of protection
and Republican rule this country at
taned the greatest prosperity OF any on
the face OF the globe. Free trade has
false allurement about it that seduces the
voter, bus when IL is brought into pI actlce
we ind II unsafe to follow. Twice be-
fore in the history of this country the
Democrats have brought The country 10
the verge of destruction.
The United States is different from
other countries" he continued. Here we
have all the products tnat are necessary
for the comfortable support OF a great
nation Of people. 1t is not absolutely
necessary that we should go to foreign
markets for our supplies. What the Demo
cratic party has done the American people
have well learned. President Cleveland
said TO Congress at its special session of
August, 1892. Repeal the Sherman silver
purchase la and all will be we'll 1t was
done as he demanded, and the almost i'm
mediate result was financial disaster.
Later on Congress met IN regular session.
Cleveland said, Repeal the Mckinley tariff
and business will revive. This command
was in measure carried out and the

During the time that the Republicans were
in power public buildings were gong up
III over the country and a navy was built
for the nation. Since the Democrats came
into power not one public building has
been ordered, not one vessel has been
started IN construction"
The speaker then eulogiZed NJ. NJ. EStee,
the mention of whose name brought out a
storm of cheering, and closed by predict
ing the election of the entire Republican
ticket, State and municipal.
Charles A. Low, candidate for re-elec-
ton as Police Judge, was called to the
platform. He said he was not speech
MAKER. although he has been paid a liberal
salary to listen to other mems speeches for
nearly two years. He desired to talk TO one
point, however, and hoped that all Repub-
lIcans would help him carry that point. He
wants TO reform police laws and regula-
tiOns 10 misdemeanor cases. ID his opinion
it Is wrong TO put poor but respectable peO-
pie in Jail for petty misdemeanors. They
should be notified of arrest and ordered to
appear in court at certain time. instead
of being thrown into Jail and held until
bailed out and bed by police court al
torneys. If the defendants should fail to
appear at the time sci, they could be ar
rested and punished for contempt. AS it
now is, people are punished on COM
| plants before they are tried.
