A Capital Speech--A New Haven Boys
 Talk to His Fellow Citizens The Issues of the Campaign. M
 Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug. 30.--Timothy l.. Woodruff, the republican nominee for lieutenant governor, was serenaded by his friends in Brooklyn last night. The republican voters of the Third, Eighth. Ninth, Eleventh, Twentieth, and Twenty wards marched through the various streets of their wards and then combined in a big parade and marched to the residence of Mir. Woodruff, at Eighth avenue and President street. In his speech MT. Woodruff said:
 "A little more than two months ago we opened at St. Louis the contest for the control of the last federal admins tration of this progressive nineteenth century. In harmony with the eco- homie tendencies of. the hour, as if with prophetic impulse, just as in 1869, Lin- coin was called upon to lead against the then divided democratic hosts, standing as the apostle of liberty and unity; as he was again nominated in 1864. the liberator of the slave and the conservator of the union; as in 1868 the hero of Donelson, of Shiloh, the Wilder ness, and Appomattox was nominatded to personify ih2 his candidacy the ac- l complishment of all that the immortal Lincoln stood for in 1860 and 1864, so at St. Louis the republicans of 1896 took a firm and unequivocal stand upon a platform of sound and honest princi- | ,>l Ia Ixr ,1,fx wherever or in whatever guise the en- emy should appear, to march against him shoulder to shoulder under the gallant, inspiring, irresistible leadership Fof Mckinley and Hobart.
 The republican platform adopted at St. Louis insured adequate protection to the American workmen, American
 industries and American capital This e-preserving plank of protection, one of the fundamental principles of our party platform is required for the safe ty and the preservation of all Ameri-
 can interests, and it can never be thrown overheard to make room for 1 democrats who would rather drown
 than use 1t. But we say to our demo- cratic friends--we say it through the press and from the rostrum-'Join us l on our platform of honest money and | protection, and, under the leadership of our standard bearers, Mckinley and Hobart, we will give you protection in the enjoyment of old-time peace and prosperity Some have chosen to de- cline our invitation and next week will set sail in a ship of their own upon the perilous sea of governmental deficien-
 cy and industrial paralysis-without the life preserver; but thousands, yea. tens of thousands, have accepted this | invitation extended by the republican party to it's democratic friends in all good faith, and their worthy brows will be saved from even the touch of q crown of thorns and their pathways
 will bear not even the shadow of a cross.
 "The blasphemous attempt to make
 the portraiture of the Crucifxion the
 great issue of the campaign. I would like to say to Mir Bryan, would not
 have been possible had not Judas Is-
 cariot preferred cheap pieces Of silver ] to a celestial crown of gold.
 "The principles enunciated at the na-
 tional convention held in St. Louis were I reaffirmed by the Saratoga convention, I The sentiments expressed at ehis con- I vention were in substance that the
 workingman's dollar should never be I worth less than 100 cents; that upon 4 this and the principle of protection to
 American interests rest the fame and
 security of all the people; that in state
 affairs there should be an honest. eco-
 nomical administration and an enforce
 ment of the laws enacted for the bene-
 fit of the moral and general welfare of
 the people"
