to be found as candidates upon the TICKET
as compared with that of other parties.
He expressed his pleasure and gratlfica-
ton that there was such large and en-
thusiastIc audience to listen to Republican
orators and express their appreciation OF
Republican sentiments.
He then introduced Colonel j. ID. Rob
erts as the first speaker Of the evening.
Colonel Roberts spoke OF the entbusi-
assn which pervades the local Republican
ranks, and from what ne had seen alone
he suenred success for the ticker. He re-
pudiated the idea of bosses controlling
snch rt preventative men as are upon tbs
ticket The names OF the candidate s
alone, he said, were enough to convince
auy one that they are men of honor and
integrity who would not bend themselves
TO the yoke of any political boss.
From local affairs the speaker touched
upon the principles of the Republican
party, and what il had done in national
affairs for the prosperity Of the country.
The tariff question, as we'll as The pro-
tective policy of the Republican party,
were dwelt upon at length. The speaker
made several good points, which were ap-
plauded by he audience.
Hon. ID. E. Mckinley. the next spes ker,
devoted his entire attention to a review OF
the national situation and an arraignment
of the present administration. He reviewed
the official acts of President Cleveland and
both cases he found that the best interests
of the people of the country had been
made subservient to the Influence of foreign
capital and the wealthy class of our coun-
| Try. The wOrklngman could expect moth
ing from the present policy, exec pit more
reduced wages and further degradation.
The whole system inAugurated and fathered
by President Cleveland and his Demo-
cratic Congress was detrimental 10 his
every hope for better times. Without pro-
lection and free silver there was no hope
for the workingman, and the Democratic
party has placed itself upon record as the
enemy-frm and determined-of both of
these vital issues. The only way for the
| poor man of this country to regain the
rights which are being wrung away from
| him is TO stand by Republican principles
and the Republican party.
Mrs. Addie l.. Ballou spoke next The
/ tenor of her remarks was that as the
American flag represented protection TO
! the citizens of tue country, so the citizens
should remember that patriotism in its
| broadcast sense extended to the protection
of homes and manhood and wOmanhOod.
Each man wtO Yields the power of the
ballot should see that it IS east IN the
interest OF these vital protective issues.
AS the Democratic party had taken false
stand all men of reason and Of under
standing should support the Republican
| banner of protection, and thereby assure
the mSeIVeS tley are actlD Z lh tHe Interest u
of their homes and their manhood. Work
lngmen, especially, could not afford TO
take any chances with their rights and
liberties. In her remarks Mrs. Ballou
became reminiscent and spoke of the days
when the clouds of civil war were lowered
over the land, and how she rememb ered
the enthusiasm which pervaded everv
loyal heart. That same sentiment should
| be displayed to-day when the country is in
| grave danger from other causes. When II
is threatened with hard times-and they
have been too hard already-and financial
depression from Democratic methods OF
government it is time for men of reason &c
turn and try to find remedy for the evil
This was only to be found in the protec.
tive principles of the Republican party.
Mrs. Ballou was applauded vigorously
| throughout her remarks.

Hon. j. C.. Swinnerton. Frank MCGOWAN
John Il. Dare and Z. W. Kyle. Their re-
marks were pointed but brief The meet
