l the colored preacher said, Breth'n 1t has come to this; we must suffer In or der to grow strong Well, we've suf- fered and grown strong. There isn't a republican to-day who isn't a stronger | republican than he ever was before strong in the doctrines of the republi- can policy, American protection and reciprocity, as promulgated by that | great leader, James G. Blaine. (Deaf- ening applause and reiterated,) Why, gentlemen, the speakers themselves in congresscry out that they are incompe- | tent and even the present incumbent | of the white house said that the poor | are growing poorer and the rich richer. | But, gentlemen, we're all the same to- | day. The poor and the rich are grow | ing poorer. There Is not an intelligent | democrat on this continent who, if he Is l sober (applause long and loud) will tell | you, and he believes it. that he thinks | the democracy has the least chance to | elect the next president of the United | States. The party is hopelessly divided
 on every great question. One wing, and 1t is pretty well winged, declared | for protection of some sort at Chicago. | Again, they believe, both houses of l congress, in free trade, and yet they have not brains enough to put their | plans in such way that they will
 meet the approval of Grover Cleve- | land. 'Perfdious! P-e-r-f-i-d-i-o-u-s But I'll let her go. (Applause.) That | is what he has done. Amt that so? | speak with all due respect to the
 angle, the rod and the gun. Do you
 know? Haven't they straddled on every | question:"
