FELLOWS
SPEAKS IN DUNMORE
DwelIs on the Campaign and Gives Some
Timely Advice.
MANY DEMOCRATS WERE PRESENT
William Dryden, John q. McAskie
aud Others Deliver Addresses..A
Large Audience Treated to Logical,
Reasoning and Much Information
Presented in u FOrceful and Con.
vincing Manner..Other Meetings.

The most prominent feature of last
nights very successful Republican raj
ly held in the Christian church, Dun
more, was the large percentage of
Democrats who were in attendance.
They not only lent an attentive ear
but Were quite as enthusiastic as the
most ardent old time Republican in
applauding the telling points made by
the speakers. These was Hon. John
II. Fellows. eX-mayur Of Scranton:
William Dryden and John G.. McASkie.
1t was expected that William Connell
would be present but owing to cold
which he contracted Saturday and the
orders of his physician that he should
be restful for few days he was COM
PEELED to send his regrets.
d. w. Bennett. chairman, opened
the meeting by reading Mr.. Connell $
letter. He then called upon John j..
Phillips for a song and he responded
by rendering in a spirited manner the
Republican Marseilles." Mr.. Fellows
was next introduced. The ex-mayor's $
reception was such as to evidence that
his popularity Is not confined to the
city of Scranton. He gave them one
of his characteristic speeches, making
known his convictions and reasons
therefor in clear, concise and
straightforward way and advising
them, as one would expect John Eel
lows to advise, to get out and hustle,
particularly on election day.
He arraigncd the I5ryanitcs for
their anarchial attempts to array the
masses against the classes by en-
deavoring to stir up in the working
man Telling of dlstrust. resentment
and enmity against his emplOyer,when
the true mission of the honest and un-
selfish statesman should be to bring
about a Numerically opposite condl-
tion.
WOULD FIGHT LONG AND HARD.
No one would fight a corporation
longer or harder than he when the cor
poration persisted in doing what was
palpably wrong but on the other hand
no one had greater regard for the
necessity and benefit Of corporations.
He spoke of prediction he made
four years ago to a body OF men on
the South Side whom he was address
ing. He told them then when they
said they wanted tariff reform that IN
the event of the tariff thinkers being put
in power the then blazing furnaces OF
the steel works would be eXtinguished,
the hum of the wheels in the factories
and mills would be hushed. and there
would be want and desolation among
them. Those men when he went among
them recantIv admitted that his proph-
erv had been fulfilled: that they were
sorry thav had turned n deaf ear to the
nleoders for nrotection. This free sill
ter idea is another iust such delusion,
said Mr.. Fellows. and if those Wild
theoried experimenters are given rein
there will, he. he would predict. an even
more deplorable consequence. .ou
can't make something out of nothing,
and no matter if It is even the govern
ment that puts a fictitious value on an
article il will assume its real value
with the rapidity with which water
seeks its level be that article silver,
pir iron. anthracite coal. or anything
else
This is not a partisan issue: 1t is a
