And SO, fellow citizens, it is the
same old Democratic party, up to the
same old game, and telling the same old
lies that they used to tell in order to try
to get our votes. daughter and ap-

Be not deceived by them. They fooled
you in '92 at free trade, and they will
fool you in 90 with free silver, for they
do not mean what they say. You can
not trust them. They never have kept
any promise they made to the people.
You can rely upon the Republican
party keeping every promise that it
| makes. Therefore, / ask you to stand
with me as a representative of the Re-
publican party; to stand with me as
representative of your own interests; to
stand by the Republican ticket as a
Republican ticket, and as representing
your best interests; stand by me. be-

what you may hear; be not alarmed at
what you may read. Be warned in time
against a lie and a slander that will
be told in this bfackmail newspaper and
others regarding me. Be not alarmed
at anything you may read. Rely upon
yourselves, your own conSciences, your
own hearts, your own courage. Be not
at all afraid of anything that may oc-
cur, anything that may be published or
spoken or said.
You have at all times seen the Storm
King in his wrath. You have heard the
roaring of the thunder, of the gods ar
tillery reverberating through the heav-
ems. You have seen the terrible light
ming of his swift sword flash in electric
current across the horizon. You have
heard the roaring of the river and the
waters of the great deep as they seemed
ready to deluge the earth again. Your
hearts have sunk within you with fear,
as you have listened to the storm as
it gathered and broke, and seemed to
preSage a wreck of matter and q crash
of earth; and, then, when you have be-
come afraid, you have seen shining
through all the darkness that pressed
like a funereal pail upon the earth the
gorgeous tinted rainbow, the promise of

no more should come, that the earth
should be redeemed and should be pre-
served to man and his descendants for
ever.
And SO to-day you can see shining
through all the darkness of partisan
rancor, through the murky vapors of
slander and detraction, through all the
noise and tumult Of political passion
and prejudice and assault, through all
the clamor of calamity and financial
distreSs-you can see shining through
all the darkness that seems TO press
upon us now, the gorgeous banner Of
the Republican party, bearing for its
motto: Patriotism, Protection and
PIoSperity-held aloft by our gallant
Captain, Mckinley, and beneath that
banner, and behind that Captain, we
will march to sure victory, knowing
that by the blessings of Him who doeth
all things well, this land shall be re-
deemed from Democratic misrule, this
country shall be made prosperous, this
people shall be made happy, by the
beneficent influences of protection to
American industries and American men.
