ened by Democratic Success.

New York, Aug. 2s.-At Carnegie hall,
Thursday night, an immense and enthu-
siastic audience gathered TO hear the
issues of the campaign discussed by ex-
President Benjamin Harrison. Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew presided over the ,
meeting. Both Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Depew were the recipients of ova'ions
when they entered the hail. Upon call
ing the gathering to order, Mr.. Depew
delivered an address on campaign issues
= at the close OF which he introduced ex-
President Harrison. who at once entered
into discussion of the issues. He spoke
at considerable length, being very fire.
quently interrupted by applause. Re-
ferring TO disappearance AS campaign
speaker he said il was due TO his sense
OF the duty he owed TO the country 10
combat the fallacics sought to be fo!sted
upon the people by the democratic party
and its allies. He acknowledged his re-
spect for the feelings which actrated
the gold democrats in occupying tie po-
sition they do, but said they must
not expect the republican party to re-
organize itself because the democratic
party had disorganized itself. The
democratic party had once more eN-
hibited is capacity 10 be ruptured and
n PARTY that cannot be split was public
menace. When the leaders of party
assembled in convention depart from its
traditional principles and advocate doe
trines that threaten the integrity OF the
government, the social order OF our
communities and the security and
sonndness OF our finance, IL ought TO be
split. and IL dignifies itself when it does
split. A bolt from any party is now and
then most reassuring incident ana was
never more reassuring and never had
better cause than now. The republican
party fronts the destructionists and
trunpets its defiance 20 the enemies OF
"sound money" IL will fight, however,
without covering any OF the glorious
notices and inscriptions that are upon
IT'S banner. Continuing. Mr.. Harrison
said:
