editors. business men and politicians.
He was pressed into coming here by
congressman Tawney and McCleary.
and he had consented to come in the
hope OF having his own Republicanism
strengthened. He admitted, with re-
gret, that people are of late years neg
| lecting TO vote the Republican ticket.
He had learned that the hope of relief
in the country Is in the people, and hot
| Ill congress.
He asserted that whatever the short
comings or the Republican party had
been it had ascertained the level of in
dustriai and business affairs.
He was he lever in thn Ranuhlicau
| party OF the past, anu is one now be-
cause of the history Of the past thirty
years written by 1t.
! The freeing of the slaves gave him
! faith in the party. He felt some pride
/ in being follower Of William Lloyd
Garrison. He attributed TO the party
the maintenance of the credit Ut The
| country so that the present administra.
| ton could RAISE $50, 900. OGO in bonds. He
alluded to the fact that even Demo-
| cratic president has the bravery to sup.

! governors.
| He advised the Republican editors to
dwell upon the history of the party for
the past thirty years in every issue of
| their papers-to do as New England
| had done, continue to sing the songs
and deeds done in the past. He would
| also have the papers touch upon other
issues. such as insisting that American
products should be sold in the markets
OF this country aDd that the result of
home skill should be fOstered by the
| protective law.
That the protective tariff had been
provided only in spots he did not deny,
but thought that giving the country
Tree sugar was enough to redeem the
party. He said that if the late
James u. Blaine had been given
the weapon of free wool he
could have secured reciprocity with the
| world in 1890, and regretted that wool
had not been put on the free list then:
| and said 1t remains for the enemies of
/ the farmer and friends of the WOODEN
| factors in New England to seize free
| wool as weapon to secure reciprocity
| with the whole world.
The idea that the United States

/ applause. He sand that G. X. Davis
had by a single stroke placed himself
! in the,ranks as one of the country's
leaders. Tife mention of Senator Davis
name ELECTED the greatest applause of
| the evening. ST..
Hon. c. K. Davis was greeted with
hearty applause when introduced by
Gov. Merriam. Senator Davis had some
frefuctance in speaking OH such All oc-
Icasion. He had been speaking TO the
editors for twenty-five years, and his
voice had become familiar to them. He
said that the Republican editors had
treated him better than his deserts and
made him what he is. He challenged
any one to contradict the statement that
there had been prosperity up to 1892.
He touched upon the silver question as
| hurting business. but did not say why
the Republican senators had retal ded
the passage Of the silver coinage repeal
bill.
l. Abiding to the tariff bill. he excused
the slewness with whichit was disposed
of by outlining the policy of the protec-
tionists 10 be that of preventing its be.
coming law.
He Denounced the Trading
ana bartering with the sugar and
whisky trusts. 1t was plain to him
that the policy of the Democratic party
is persistency 70 discuss the protective
question.
Senator Davis closed with his custom
| AIRY allusion to the flag that waves over
the country school house.
l. DIR. Fred Barrett, OF the Tower Jour-
| nal, was called upon, and said that edi-
tors are not speakers, but writer's, and
preferred to shut himself in a sanctum,
running his fingers through his hair and
writing an editorial, and then go to
sleep thinking what roar of thunder
would follow the reading of the edi-
tOrial. As to the presence of the edl-
tors. he said they were present to get
inspiration from the men from Wssh-
ington. He felt that the fight this year
IS not an easy one TO win. but the eX-
| ample OF congress would make the fight
an easy one to carry on.
az He said that Republicans who had
gone out OF the party are getting into
the Popu!ist camp, but he would advise
them to come straight back to the party
and help fight an old-fashoned war.
He believed Democrats to be good fell
lows socially, but they lacked brains.
He thought the best thing the Demo-
cratic party has done is to restrict
hlmmigratlon.
