were seen floating over the wagon from
which Senator Hanna and Congress-
man DaHtord spoke.
The crowd was larger than expected.
Nearly all OF the employees In the mills
dropped their work and ran out when
the senatorial party arrived and o
large number OF other Martins Ferry
people, Including not d few ladies, at
tended this meeting, which was n most
enthuHiastlo and most satisfactory one.
Everybody wanted to see Senator Han
ma and there was cheer after cheer
when no arrived at the mills.
The meeting was called 20 order by
Samuel Westwood who introduced Cap
tain Lorenzo Dantord, who spoke quite
briefly In Introducing Mr. Hanna, Cap
tain Danford said the employees In The
mills could remain only few minutes
and the speeches must necessarily be
brief. He said Workingmen had moM
time last year. he was glad 10 see the
men OF this mill. that he knew many OF
them, having talked along this valley
for forty years ana that tho people
were all deslrous OF hearing Senator
Hanna. who bV his voice and iniiuence,
had done so much for the Dingley bill.
Congress Dauford was well received.
When Senator Hanna arose from his
seat In the wagon to speak for the first
time 70 an audience In the Ohio valley,
he was greeted with deafening cheers,
which showed what the crowd thought
OF him. He said:
II feel almost guilty to take a mo-
ment OF your time. II has been my
ambition 20 get work for men and not
10 take It away from them. The hap
piest moments OF my life were those
when could make my men happy.
am glad TO have the opportunity TO
stand before 80 many wofkingmen
here to-day, am called labor
usher by those who are opposed TO
the In politics. When the Republican
convention at st. Louis In 1885, gave to
US the best platform ever given US by
any party and they gave us Mckinley,
the best exponent OF protection and
the best friend OF the workingman In
the United States. many promises were
made and every one Is being fulfilled as
rapidly as possible. You all remember
that in 1892 the country was the most
prosperous In its history. The changes
came and there was complete over
throw of the government and for the
ffst time in those years the Democratic
party had charge and following that
were hard times and you all know that
times are better to-day.
"The Republican party promised a
tariff bill and they fulfilled that prom
ise and they promised 10 protect labor
not only In the tin Industry but law
against the tramp labor OF Europe. In
prosperous times the tramp labor of
Europe comes over, saves some money
and 20 back and live on mack, and II
the Republican party has the opportu-
nifty, II win pass law 20 keep out this
tramp labor. We have the President.
and II Is necessary to have both
branches OF Congress. We are now
three votes In tho senate. The election
this fall will decide whether Mckinley
will have support or not, or'whether,by
fault OF neglect, or OF apathy, they will
let the state go by default and elect a
Democratic legislature and gerryman-
der the state and reverse the state and
elect Democratic senator, who lives in
Washington. Do you want any more
senators who live in Washington or
New York? (Cries OF mo, no." init"
