Decidedly the most enjoyable day Of
the week was Friday; and, though
clouds and rain held sway awhile in
the forenoon, the showers passed off
and the smiling sun shone out and
crowned with success the efforts OF our
loyal ladies. The chief features of the
early afternoon were the bicycle races,
exhibitions and the tournament. The

riding, and we are cognizant of the fact
that we have some splendid amateur
wheelmen. Mr.. Robt. Gill our cham

there is to be no carnival this year,
and no wonder; for Italy is holding
her breath in the greatest suspense,

to carry the night editions over the

news came, it spread like lightning,
and balls and other entertainments
for few minutes, while the
national anthem was played amid the
greatest enthusiasm. ALI of which
leads me to make the original remark,
that war is great social evil. Italy
is now momentarily expecting to hear
news from Africa of a decisive battle.

Many People Wanted to Shake
Hands With Him.
Hobart Quoted From Himself
and BOurke Cochran.

Camden. n. J., Oct 27.-Garret A.
Hobart. the Republican candidate for
vice president. made what was prac-
tically his first political speech of the
campaign last night at the Temple the
ater in this city before an audience that
filled the place to overlooking. The
meeting marked the commencement of
a campaign throughout this state in
which Mr.. Hobart will speak. Previ-
Gus to the theater meeting the candi-
date was given a reception at the Cam
den Republican club, where, for two
hours. steady line of people shook
hands with him and Governor Griggs,
the latter assisting him ia receiving.
After this Mr. Hobart was the guest
Of United States Senator Seweu at din
ner. Long before the hour of meeting
the theater was crowded to the doors
and upon Mr.. Hobart's entrance he was
given an enthusiastic welcome Sam
uel Bailey, one OF Camden manufac-
tuners, presided Mr.. Hobart extend
ed his thanks for the reception rendered
him and said in part:
In the year of 1892 we were in the
zenith of our prosperity. No man was
idle who wanted to work, and millions
OF money were spent in Ia Dor. Wages
had gone up in ten years 40 per cent
notwithstanding all these things dur
Ing the administration of President
Harrison, yet the state of New Jersey
gave a majority for the Republican par
ty of less votes than in the eight years
preceding. We were then under the
gold standard. as now, but confidence
began to be lost Men who owned mills
could not operate them and millions OF
persons were out Of work Then came
the Wilson bill and when it passed it
was felt in every household in New
Jersey.
Every Democrat and every Republi-
can now knows that something must be
done The Republican party stands
where it stood in 1892. 1888 and 1884. Tt
proposes to keep the mills open and
men at work. Another landmark, an
other milestone in our journey has been
marked. We are to know whether our
money is to be debased or our currency
debauched do not characterize this
as a Democratic innovation" He closed
by quoting from his letter Of accept
ance and the letter of BOurke Cochran.

patriotism must assert Itself

we want no false balances; we want no
false measures of value to cheat the
unwary, and let me tell you that those
who suffer most from a poor currency
are always and inevitably the men who
toll. There is not a man in this audi
enee who was drawing wages prior to
1850 that does not remember that he
was always paid in the poorest dollar
that would pass and when he got it at
night it may have been good, but be
fore morning came, the bank was bro
ken and the money lost.
We have had no such experience in
the last so years. for every dollar in
this country is good, as good as the
government and as untarnished as our
flag. Every dollar represents 100 cents
and is good, not only among our own
people but wherever trade goes, in
every market place of the world. "a
voice: Who made it2D Tt was made
by the Republican party; but let me
say while it was made by the Repubh-
can party, the administration of Gro
yer Cleveland has maintained it all
good every dollar as good as gold
Then, my fellow citizens, another thing
we want in this country, we want pub
lie peace and tranquility; and we want
to teach a respect for laws; reverence
for our free Institutions, the grandest
and the best beneath the sun"
