Now, gentlemen" continued Mr.. Ho-
bart, you people of Monmouth did some
thing four years ago that I am not SO
proud of. You gave Grover Cleveland 1885

less hours for work. The public debt was
reduced.
"Asbury Park and Freehold were busy
through the administration of President
Harrison, and yet this county gave a ma

the experience of a Democratic admins

Mr.. Hobart dwelt at length on the
Bland and Sherman acts and of the silver
dollars forced on the Government at a loss
of nearly 100000 600. Monmouth county"
said Mr.. Hobart, has a great record. It
has a population of 10000. I learned last
