Speeches for Mckinley and SOuna
Money at Remington.


Money at Remington.
An enthusiastic audience cvertiowed the
town hall at Kensirgton Saturday evening
last to listen to the final summing up of
the campaign issues. The Canton Potomac
Band came out r. full force and helped to
enliven the occasion. AS usual, the la
dies Of Kensipgton graced the occasion
with their presence and served to temper
boisterous jubilee.
MIR. B. H. Warner in opening the meeting
said he had entered this campaign and
had endured its discomfort and hard work
day and night. although in no sense a poll
tician. He did this, to put 1t on no higher
ground, from a business standpoint, be-
cause on the business interests of the coun-
try rested much of its prosperity, and be-
except on a basis of integrity and sound
finance upon which to build the necessary
confidence and credit to meet the wants
Of the people. Mr.. Warner introduced Mr..
Tom. c. Noyes the first speaker.
Mr.. Noyes said that he was proud of
Maryland, because If she had done nothing
else to brighten the pages of history the
fact that she had freed her slaves long be-
fore the emancipation proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln would entitle her to the
front rank among those who made way
for human liberty. She had always stood
for sound financial principles, and at the
last election had gloriously sgnified her
appreciation of sound politics. And on No
vember she would add to her laurels by
overwhelming majority for law and
order. for Mckinley and Hobart. and in
this district for Capt. John A. Mcdonald
as their coming representative. Mr.. NoyeS
quoted facts and figures to disprove that
free silver would benefit the country
claiming that on the contrary 1t would
most injure the farmer and laboring class
eS, to whose selfshness and present dis
tresses the popocracy were SO vainly ap-
pealing. The republican party, he said,
pointed out the way to a restoration of
confidence and the dawn of a new pros
perity by protection to American labor.
He laid special stress upon the need Of
more stringent immigration laws, which,
he claimed, would relieve the laboring men
of this country from competition with the
cheap, ill-fed laborer of Europe, pro-
lection would do for the manufacturer
against the product of that labor in the
shape of manufactured goods. This. he
said, would enable American artisans to
live in the American fashion of comfort,
and to educate their children up to the
standard of American intelligence and in
dependence, which was the highest STAN
dard the world had ever known. This sem
timent was loudly applauded. as were the
many illustrations with which Mr. Moves
emphasized his facts and figures.
Col james H. Embrey of Kentucky held
the audience for an hour or more while
pleading for the principles for which the
republican party had always stood. In the
days of the war, he said, he carried the
flag of Abraham Lincoln through his ma
tive state. From that day to this the rec
ord OF the party had been one of glorious
endeavor to emancipate mankind from all
forms of slavery. 1t had led in every
measure that had tended to make this
country the strongest and the greatest of
the world. The democracy, he claimed
had ever appealed 10 the discontinued, had
always been a party of fault-finding and
criticism, never proposing sound meas
ure of relief. and when, unfortunately
placed In power, had never redeemed a
promise they had made, but had always
thrown the country into commissions like
the terrible throes of that through which
we have been passing for the last four
years. He thanked God that I'm the next
few days would be witnessed such a con-
domination of what was now passing as
true democracy, but which was populism
socialism, and other futile ismS in thin dis
l.guise, had never been witnessed since
the days when the loyalty of the country
rebuked an attempt to destroy its physical
integrity. On November 3, he asserted
would be voiced in emphatic terms the
countrys condemnation of the present at
tempt to wreck its moral and financial in
tegrity. Col. Embrey closed with an appeal
to stand by the Constitution, to repel The
attacks against the Supreme Court ami
to keep the honor and grandeur of Old
Glory intact.
