ROUSING RALLY
Tenth Ward Republicans
Hold Big Meeting.
Several Very Convincing Ad-
dresses Delivered.
Mr.. Dubois, Mayor Tiepke and Mr..
Thoenfeld Were Speakers.

The pretty club room OF the Mount Pleas
ant Republican Club was filed last even
ing with large and enthusiastic au-
dience that cheered the speakers at every
mention Of the next President of the
United States, Major Mckinley. There
was quite a number OF ladies present and
they listened with deep interest to the
entertaining addresses. There was one Sc
rious disappointment for the committee
in charge of the rally as Governor Charles
Warren Lippitt was unsvoidably absent
from the meeting, to which he had ac-
cepted an invitation to speak. A letter
OF regret from the chief executive OF the
state was read by the presiding officer.
The first speaker was Attorney General
f.. G. Dubois, and after congratulating
the Republicans of Ward 10 on the en-
thusiasm show by them he remarked
that ladies' were always In favor Of hon.
esty, whether 1t is honest money or any
other thing that requires that noble quail
ity and he was very happy to see so many
OF them present. He referred to the great
importance OF the many questions TO be
settled and said among the 6rst OF these
was whether we should have an honest
dollar, dollar that was worth Intrinsi-
cally 100 cents. He said that he heard with
surprise that the Boy Orator, VINO favored
this city with his presence few days
ago, made the assertion tnat dollar that
was worth more than 100 cents was as
dishonest ss one that represented less
sum. 81 cannot see IL that way" said
the attorney general. Il don't see how
any ons or thing could be too honest. 1t
would po like a man going to court to
get divorce from his wife because she
was too good, or your bringing a horse
back to a man you had bought IL OF be-
cause It was better than you bargained
for.
Mr.. Dubois next condemned the plat
form OF the so-called Democratic conven-
tion and dealt in a severe manner on the
attack on the Supreme Court. He asked his
hearers whether they wished the Sup
RENE Court to be controlled by such men
as Chief Justice Marshall and others of
similar ability, or by such men as tho
mem bers of that convention. Referring
again to the convention at Chicago, he
said 1t was controlled by such men as
Governor Altgeld, who owed his election
20 the Anarchists of the state OF Ilh-
nois, and Senator Tillman, who made the
proud boast that nis state was the first
to seceee. The free silver applause at
this con vention, the speaker also said,
bad been followed In every instance by
the rebel yells and the playing OF "Dix-
ie" by the band.
To the money question Mr.. Dubois
gave a good deal OF attention aud argued
standard was unsound. While the money
question was . very important one. the
spaker said protection was the thing
that with honest money would bring us
back the prosperity that was ours under
Republican rule. The latter was one OF
the strong and popular expressions that
won warm applause from the many
voters present.
Mayor Henry r. Tiepke OF Pawtucket
was given a rousing reception when he
same upon the platform TO speak. and he
told OF the amusing experience he had In
reaching the hall He then said that he
must congratulate the Mount Pleasant
Republicans that in the citaoel OF Demo
cracy the ladies were taking such an ac.
tive interest in it's affairs; that here they
came to tike an interest where others
than angels hsve feared II tread. lie 81 i'd
he believed tina, Eepublieanism would
thrive as we'll In the Tenth Ward as In
the banner ward OF Republicanism were
Il as vigorously urged as It was this even
ing.
There were, the Mayor sail, questions
OF an important and delicate nature in
'tis election. but they resolves them
