sand threats at a time, and 1t lever
ceased.
Long before 6 O'Clock the crowd be-
gan to assemble In front Of Music hall.
At Z O'Clock the doors were thrown open
and in less than 10 minutes the hall. in
Guiding the great stage, wa filed. Still
people kept coming until all the asles

Thousands crowded into the corri-
doris and on the outside and turned
homewards, OF went to the overflow
meeting on the outside.

Mr.. Hobart, he referred to as a man of
the highest character, who had con
Quoted successfully a large and impor-
tant business and who Is held in high
esteem by his neighbors and friends. He
then said:
ut Is a historical fact that when the
republican administration went out we
were in a time Of great prosperity; the
country was prosperous to an extent
that never before had been attained.
1t is historically true hat since the
democratic policy has been brought to
legislation the country has gone step
by step from this pinnacle of prosper
ity to the very depth of business depres-
sion and distress.
"As republicans, the remedy we pro-
pose is that a harmonious, we'll adjust
ed revenue producing and protection
tariff shall be substituted, that the reve-
nues OF the government shall be made
adequate to its expenditures.

with every other dollar. We propose
that there shall be no distrust accom-
panying the dollars, paper or coin, that
this government omfts or authorizes.
We believe that these things will re-

propose to maintain against every as

Of the president Of the United States to
enforce all national laws without ask

state. We propose that the federal judi
ciary shall be kept In full and dignifed
discharge of every duty that the con-

What do our democratic friends Of
fer? Free silver. They propose 10 cure
these Ills by authorizing every miner
of silver ore to bring the bullion he
takes from the earth to the mint Of the
United States and there at the expense
Of the government, have it converted
Into silver dollars at a ratio that re-

In value, for the bullion. They propose
that he shall take these dollars and use
them in paying his debts and to compel
