E. r.. Warner made his debut as
speaker at the meeting. He trst le
himself down easily by saying tina
speechmaking was a new thing to hin
and he didn't know much about IL, ant
then he proceeded to deliver an en-
thusiastic and interesting address tha'
took a strong hold on his audience.
He stated the objects of the Business
Mems Club were the election Of Will
liam Mckinley and Garrett j. Hobart
TO the Presidency and Vice-Presidency
of the United States as a safeguard to
the countrys institutions and perhaps
to the country itself.
He continued: "The present attack
upon our country, its institutions and
the effort to disrupt the best govern
ment that has ever been intrusted to
man, is covert and pusillanimous, with
no palliation offered excepting to graf
ify the desire of some heretofore un-
known inventors to try an experiment
Experiments are always costly We
are now paying very dearly for one the
people of this country were persuaded
to incur four years ago, when tneil
Moses promised to lead them into 2
land flowing with milk and honey.
cannot for one moment bring myself
to believe that this people are craving
another experiment, and particularls
one that IS to be tried by inferior tai
ent to that which directed the one o
four years ago.
MIR. Warner referred to the elections
= in Vermont and Maine as the thunder
tones OF the people enunciating theii
verdict against Mr.. Bryan.
He continued: Use your influence
and your vote for the election Of Nc
Kinley and Hobart and you will b'

Mr. Warner then referred in scathin
e terms to what he called the policy Q
repudiation which would be the polio
of the government under Bryan. II
said BRYAN claimed to be opposed {
trusts and was really endeayoring
: foist a most gigantic trust on the pee

He then introduced Mr. Taylor, VIII
delivered a strong dissertation on tn
evils of free silver coinage as propose
