/ r. Hutchings addressed the people he

giving reform

Major w. A Guthrie was next called
At first he did not respond, but finally
arose from back seat and walked to the
platform amid much applause.
! The major said that he did not 60 ne
to make speech, but was not afraid TO
speak out his convictions. I'VE all know
! that our country is in crisis; we know
that for thirty years we have voted from
pre- iudiCe; the representatives of the two
old parties who have just preceded me
have told you that parties have proven
false; today the daily papers charge q
member of the cabinet, one high in au
thority, with making $lO4 900 for his
own pocket, by speculating in sugar. We
learn from the Roman republic lesson
| il is this the government became so cor
rupt that public offices were sold TO the
| highest bidder we are not far from that
today for ten years have been a polit
ical orphan; could not ally myself with
party; | have not left the republican
party, il has left me let US all come TO
gether and get on platform Of patriot
ism and put good men in office men IN
touch with the people; men say that they
are democrats or republicans and do not
know what i: means He briefly re
viewed the trouble in Chicago and asked
how long the country could stand il
Our statesmen have been looking after
their own interest instead Of the people
lie wanted 10 see the country in The
hands of an independent party, and
wanted the people TO come together with
honest hearts, and try something new
We have all gone astray We need states
men this i not q government Of the
people and for the interests Of the people
| would rather trust the hum b!est honest
man ia Office, than the most gifted mat
who would -ell himself for gold il is 4
common saying that foreign capital rules
Wall street, and Wall street rules Oui
country. hi, will be changed, II neces
=ary, by arms.
