CTS of the Evening

the Bryan and Sewall Club, of Pine Bluff, and the speaker was eheered and applauded with great earnest ness.
 The speaker indicted the Republi- can party, charging it with be- ing responsible for all the ills this country has been heir to for the last thirty years; charged it with tyranny and oppression to the laboring classes, and then proceeded to pros ecute it. And it was che opinion of the audience that he succeeded in showing up the rascalitY and cor ruption of the Republican party. He said that if Mckinley was elected he would naturally be under great ob- legations to Mark Hanna and his other owners. and that these obliga- tions would have to be discharged by Mckinley, to the detriment of the government and the people. He said that this was fight between the man who cherished hIs fireside and his family; against the yoke of oppression, and that every man should go to the polls in November with q full realization of the fact that he is going there in the protec- ton of lis home and of his hearth stone.
 "They charge us with repudia- ton. said the speaker; this is the wrong word, if they charge us with being ill favor of restitution, then they have it. If own two horses and both are necessary to carry on and conduct my business, l can not dispense with the services of either, and a thief comes along and steals one of them, and l ask him to return it aud he cries out against me, Ire pudiation. It is as reasonable as the cry of repudiation against the determination of this people to re- store silver to it's use as money He said that this was d fight be- tween a corporate power, greed and selfsliness, and the poor man who is compelled to earn his living by the sweat of his brow; that it was be- tween the "bloated" bOnd-holders and the lean and hungry blow holder; and, that it was time for the people of this country to wake up to a full realization of their prop CT condition; that if the Republicans gained control of the government at this time they would be brazen with the confidence born of recent victo- ries, and that the next four years would see the rich man absolutely coercing the poor man into his way of thinking.
 The bolters, he declared, are enti- tied to little consideration at the hands of the Democratic party; but, if they would be very penitent, would clothe themselves in sack cloth and wallow in the ashes. and they could show by their actions that they were truly sorry for their miscon- duet, some fifty years hence they may be permitted to beat bass drum in the great Democratic pro- cessiOn.
 Mir. Trulock was loudly cheered all the way through his speech, and his words made a deep impression upon his audience.
 The next speaker introduced was that talented young attorney, Mir T. l.. Anderson, late of Missouri. While this is the first speech Mir. An derson has made in Pine Bluff on the financial issues, he showed by hi: apt words that he was thoroughly familiar with the question.
 MT. Anderson spoke for three quarters of an hour, and the manner in which he was cheered showed very clearly that the audience appre ciated his remarks. Mir. Anderson took up each plank of the platform and by his able arguments he con  ] vlnced every one present that tn platform was in harmony with tn, [ great principles of the DeAocrati party, as taught by Jefferson an' Jackson.
 "The Republican party said Nil Anderson, ''has seen proper tocharg anarchism upon the Democratic pal ty and it's platform because it dc nounced the arbitrary interferenc with legal affairs He then req from the platform of the Repubiiea l party, adopted in 1860, and upo l which Abraham Lincoln was electe
 President, in which that platiorI
 denounced in unequivocal terms tha
 it was a crime against the Nation t send federal troops into q State t
 interfere in it's legal affairs arbitra 5 rily. He then proceeded to warm u :. the Republican party, and his clea E,enunciation of the principles of th l Democratic party was forcible an s pleasing. MT. Anderson was loudl n cheered.
