.louist-bat tariff and a gold standard can

fCries OF Eyes. yes.') have never met
a man IN public or private life his SUI
perior. Mr.. Blaine not excepted. Some say
ne has spoken disrespeetfully OF the SUI
preme court. / deny that There is not a
word OF disrespect 10 the supreme court.
IL IS merely a statement Of a Democratic
principle remember how Abraham Lin
coin criticised the supreme court on the
bred Scott decision. (Cheers) have
heard the supreme court severely arraign-
ed in congress. The end OF this govern
ment is near when we can not criticise
that which we think wrong. even the su-
preme court"
The speaker next discussed some feat
ures OF the income tax and It's constitu-
tionalty. Al its conclusion he again
touched on the Republican party and the
silver question in general terms.
