LIVELY REPUBLICANS.


WOfkiDgmen Manifest an In.
terest in Political Issues.
A big crowd of earnest Republicans
packed Garrison & Mnch's Hall Tues
day night to show heir II tsre, In po-
liticai issues and manifest their deter.
mination to Ike lively part In their
solt tion ct the coming election. The
meeting was a Republican rally for
the purpose OF hearing the Issues dis
cussed by Hon. John W. Newlin and
Hop. Reuben Chees man, and It was
composed almost Ell t'rely by sturdy
wo, kingmen, those who feel that they
have the greater liz crest 1t stake In
the coming elet tons OF the next two
or three vears.
The @ tY Brass Band, after playing
a few airs upon the street. fled into
the hall, enlivening the meeting with
cheerful music.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. William Leach, who introduced as
the frst speaker Hor. John W. New
lin, Of Mil,ville.
Candidates Thomas F. Austin,
Bloomfield n. Minch end William B.
Trenchard were prominent members
of the audience.
Mr.. Newlin spoke for over an hour,
preseI ting the claims of the Republ-
can panty and its principles for the
suffrages of the people, showing the
benefcence of those principles of Pro-
t9t ton and P trio tsm; cor re sting
the effects { f legislatiDg for American
homes and American people with the
effort of Democracy in legiel' ting for
the people of the whole world.
The former principles, those of Pro-
taction, he claimed were the true prin-
ciples, not jnaptly proclaimed by the
Apo tie Paul, when he declared that
the nen who did not provide for his
own household was worse than an in
fidel. Love for ones own household,
provisions for its welfare, should be
first with every man; next love for his
towo, then for his county and then
for the interests of his st to and the
loountry.
That pa ty which legislated for the
best interet of its own people raised
and elevated the condition of its peo-
pie, but that patti which legisls t ed in
the IL teresss of the old nations and
people across the water, instead of
elevs ting the conditions of our nation.
reduced those conditions to the level
of those existing among the older Eu-
ropean n, ons.
He poii I'd TO the existing prostra.
ton of business and industries and
t le reduction of wsges among work
ing people as an evidence OF the truth
fulness of the assertion. The glass
workers In the house he said, who
were now compelled to work 81 re-
duo ton of IA to 25 per cent, could at
test to this proposition.
He declared the Dsmocrt tic par ty
to be incompetel t and incapable of
legislatipg properly, 1t was incompe-
tor to govern the country, it was d..
vided among itself, the leaders were
disgustsd with each other and quar-.
reling with themselves. In lie State OF
New York this condition of affairs was
most conspicuous he said, where Ds-
vid Bennett Hill was the candidate of
the Democratic pa, ty for Governor of
the sts te, and for whom, together
with his party, President Cleveland's 3
disgust was so intense that he, the
great head of the Democratic pal ty,
refused to vote or even ID register.
Mr.. Newlin predicted a victory for
the Republican pa,t ty in the State and
only asked that the Republicans of
Cumberland county would roll up a
ms jority for the candidates which
would eclipse all previous results and
astonlsh the rest of the State.
Hon. Reuben Cheesman followed
Mr.. Newlin and spoke until he had to
come to an abrubt close in order to
take the last car for Millville. The
meeting was a mot enthusiastic sue
cess from beginning TO end.
