MIR. GROESBECkS ADDRESS.
Judge Groesbeck said there was OBJ
lection on the part OF a great many
good and well-meaning people to a
judge making a polit.ca! speech, but
he was merely following a w~ell-estalb-
lished precedent OF the democrats.
Only last week Judge Metz of the
Fourth judicial district addressed the
Bryan and Sewall club at Cheyenne.
Anyhow he felt at liberty to speak here
at home. where he was not in the ene-
my's country, but among old friends
amd ~neiPhnb0rS DeODlp who had shared
NJ kjoys and sorrows. who had taken
him up years & and sent him to the
legislature, and had also elected him
to the office OF justice oil the peace to
succeed that great humorist. Bill Nye.
During the past six years he had
filled a hard and trying position. 1t
was no easy task to shape the jurispru-
dence OF a young state. He had been
blind to everything save al honest per-
formance OF his duty. More than that.
he had been stone deaf.
He would not attempt to touch upon
local matters, but desired to say a few
words upon nationtl issues. A high
compliment was paid to the staunch
men ard true of the democratic party
who were assisting in the present cam>
paign to save the nations honor. The
democrats were telling us that the tar
if question was settled four years ago
and that the silver question was the
paramount issue in this campaign.
The tariff question was not settled.
The man who framed the bill had said
chat 1t was only a vantage ground from
which greater assaults would be made
upon the protected industries of the ma
ton. Although he republican party
was brought into being by the slavery
question, even in 1860 the question of
protection to our Industries was not
forgotten in the platform. Abraham
Lincoln was a believer in A high pro.
seetive tariff. In stating mis- platform.
