Senator Perkins received an ovation that
was fatlerlng indeed. u was several minutes
before he could begin Dis speech. He thanked
the audience for It's reception. He said this
Outpourlug augured we'll FOR the people and for
the Republican party. In the past i've week

The democracy had control of all the Govern

Is responsible for the bad laws and If there

silver brought in from foreign countries IN
order TO keep up its value. Ii the people are
NOT soon allowed more general use of tn 8
white metal they would goa step further than
is 10 l ID theIT demands. But the Democracy
voted down silver legislation. Prosperity did
nor come 10 the country, The wheels did not
turn and Inc sbuttles did not move. Still the
Democracy had things all their own way.
Democracy gave US a tariff bill. They said
lhey saved the people Sl6.O0O,0 600 By reducing
the duty. On what? Fine French brandy and
opium, bIoadclOiD. laces. These things are
for the eco. and those people VINO use and wear
them should be made TO pay the taxes They

prunes. They placed Italian statuary and oil.

Ing for any less because or The removal OF this
CutY?' NO" they shouted. They should
be cents less, but they not.
The speaker said that all possible was done
for tie Oakland harDor, but The Democrats had
exhausted the treasury. In closing his re-
marks he said that IL was the duty OF Republi-
cans this year to vote for Nj. Nj. Estee and the
whole Republican ticket; that the Repub-

for NJ. NJ. Estee.
The absence OF Mr.. Hllborn from the Repub

commented on. The meeting was in fact ;
Hib0rn meeting and was TO have been his frs
