this has ceased.

in debt, while under President Harri-

Remarks of Colonel Jackson.
Colonel John 2. Jackson was then in
| troduced and was received with ap-
plause. He said he would be brief, as
those present had been we'll entertained
by Senator Perkins. He spoke in an
emphatic, epgrammatic manner, and so
crisp and pointed were his remarks that
bis hearers We're Kept constantly ap-
plauding.
EIoquently and forcibly Colonel Jack
son compared the condition of the coun-
try under Republican rule with its con-
dltion to-day under Democratic rule
The situation was apparent to everyone.
| He likened the Democratic party in
| Its present demoraliZed condition to
the steer that tried TO jump the fence.
de was impaled when half way over, and
could neither hook before nor kick be-
hind. Laughter.
Colonel Jackson called attention to the
fact that democrats from the various
States of the Union swarmed upon Con-
gress TO secure protection for the chief
| Industries of their respective localities,
and yet, while each wanted protection for
his own constituents he was, generally
speaking, In favor of free trade.
IF protection is good for one locality,
! or few localities" said Colonel Jackson.
lit is good for the whole country [Ap-
plause.l What is the use OF a cheap din
/ ner bucket, he asked, if it contained
nothing TO eat?
He didn't think that all the Populists
had wheels in their heads [laughterl, but
great many of them represent ali the
crankiness and wild isns Of the day.
Those whose heads are not buzzing inside
should get out OF the party as soon as
possible. Laughter.1
! However. the Popuiist party is good
thing for the Republican party Demo-
Gratis hate to jump at once from their own
party into the Republican camp, but they
get there occasionally by serving pro-
Dationary period in the Populist party.
| Ihe latter Is sort OF half way ptrgatory
between Democracy and Repu blicanism.

He illustrated the position of the Demo-
Gratis Oh the tariff question by telling a
story. Referring to the struggles made
by individual Democrats to secure pro-
lection for the local industries of their
own sections, regardless of the interests
OF others, he said it reminded him OF the
storekeeper whose customer ran Off with
coat which he had tried on his back.
The storekeeper accidentally encoun-
tered policeman While pursuing the
thief aud told him the fellow was max
ing OFT with stolen coat. The officer
whipped out his gun and was about to
shoot the thief when the storekeeper
burst into tears and stopped him.
HOLY Moses, mine frent" he ex-
claimed, ''don'd shoot at him! Don'd

goat! lat goat belongs 10 mel D--n
der bants-shoot i'm in der bauts ~
Prolonged laughter.]
The Democratic protectionists, said the
speaker. are willing to have the pants
shot Off everyone else, SO long as their
own coats are protected.
California, he said, should send seven
Republicans to Congress this year to see
| that the interests OF the whole country
are looked after properly.
After paying handsome tributes to
Perkins and Estee, MIR. Jackson closed
his remarks with an eloquent and forci-
ble appeal 20 tho young voters to aiiy
themselves 10 the party lhaE has such a
grand history as the Republican partv-
one So rich in such ilustrious Champions
as those whose names have been linked
with the party OF progress.
