 "MR. PRESIDENT AND MY FELLOW CITIZENs
 In November 1899, republican national ad- minlstration able, efficient and patriotic, which had conducted the government with
 marked ability and fidelity for nearly four years, was voted out of power. Both those who assisted and those who opposed this de- cree of the people, for the most part, have been unhappy and regretful ever since. There has been given to the American people an op- portunity of sober reflection steadIed by the discipline of diversity. It has been season of universal education, it's lessons are practi . cal, profitable and believe permanent. Even
 the eyes of the blindest partlsans have been
 opened and men who have heretofore never been able to see any good in the republican party and who voted its policy a fraud and robbery are now eager for a reconsideration and change doubt if we fully realize the re- liable reversal fin public opinion. It is unex- ampled in history and well worth the atten- tion of every thoughtful observer, and especial ly should it be instructive to those who have
 remnant to serve in the present congress.
 How Public Feeling Has Changed.
 ..In 1892 the democratic candidate for gov ernor of Massachusetts was elected In 1893 the democratic candidate for the same office was defeated by republican plurality of 35,- E7 votes. In New York In 1892 President Cleveland received . plurality of 45,5lS votes; in 1898 the republican candidate for secretary Df state was elected by plurality of 24,4SI votes In Pennsylvania in 1892 the republican plurality for the national ticket was f9, 747; in 1893 the republican candidate for state treas urer received Q plurality Of 1S5146 votes. In Iowa the national republican ticket had in 1892 plurality of c2 9e5; in 1893 the republican candidate for governor was elected by plu- rality of &, ,S56. In Ohio in Is9. the republican plurality was l072; in 1893 1t was sO,995.
 January 30 last congressman were elected in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts of New York city at special elections The first of these was carried by L. E. Quigg. the republic m candidate, by plurality of 9Si votes, al- though the same district gave democratic plurality in 1892 of s,s25. In the other district the republicans were not successful, but they reduced the democratic plurality of II ,sCs to I,'8I Here was Q republican gain of nearly l7.OOO in the very strongholds of TammaDy. In Rhode Island the democratic plurality of Is5 fin .s9? vas wiped out in 1893 by republican plu- rality ci 566. Nes&ont's republican plurality increased from l9,702 to nearly es00O and Maine's from la,ss7 to more than ST0OO
 Revolt of Southern Planters.
 Thus hastily have reviewed the revolution of pubic sentiment in the last eighteen months, and many of the great states are yet -O ,hange in public sentiment is going on through put the south Only few days ago the sugar planters of Louisiana, in convention assem- bed turned their backs upon the democratic party with which they had all their lives been associated. and boldly announced their uncon- 1itional Endorsement and support of the great doctrines of protection to American indus tries, and thereby allied themselves with the republican party. What this may mean in the f.fg 1t must have wide and benencent influence cannot for a moment be questioned Here is a large body of the best business men in the state, by tradition and practice democrats, who for three years have been trying to make believe the democratic party was not the enemy of our great industries, but who now have been reluctantly forced to abandon their position and openly declare they are alone safe in the hands of the republican party Il cannot but commend them for this pa- triotic movement. They need no assurance of devotion to all the material interests of the south by the republican party In all its legis- lation for one-third of a century it has never overlooked a single southern interest.
 Without any aid from the south, with it's entire representation in both branches of for the most part standing in opposition to the republican party in the stormiest years of sectional preju-
 
 the public good, the smallest well as the largest industries of the south have been sa- credly guarded and protected. We welcome to fellowship this great body Of American citl- zens who propose henceforth to be Americans and stand up for American interests, not in one but in all sections Of our beloved country"
 Cleveland's Letter to Catchings-
 President Cleveland's letter to Con- gressman Catchings containing an exortation to those who have fought for tariff reform to continue the was read and commented on Gov. Mckinley then said:
 How blithely he sounds the note Of battle; how confidently he again calls to arms every enemy to our industrial system and chnl- lenges to open warfare the friends of American prosperity and American labor. How scorn- fully he characterizes as traitors in his party every friend, however hesitating both in con- gress and out, to the cause of American pro- tection Nor does he stand alone in this un- patriotic position. The democracy of Ohio fully sustain him in their state platform. What will our verdict be here in Ohio? A democratic victory means further and longer steps in the direction of free trade-deeper cuts and more deadly blows upon our indus trial life republican victory-a republican house of epresentatives-means that during the closing half of MT. Clevelands administra- ton the enemies of the protective system will be unabls to successfully wage further war fare upon the prosperity of the country. On which side will you vote-for more war or less war?
 If 1t be true that a revival of business and a general prosperity are to follow the passage of the new law, as is claimed by our political adversaries, and which we hope may be fully realized, then why should they interfere with yhe glad prospect by still further changes in .arif schedules or renewed agitation of the l SubjectY After most bitterly denouncing the l pill they have just passed, democratic leaders | md press console themselves by declaring | hat the new law, after all. is better than the | lct of 1890 Better for whom2 Better for what?
