WIND UP IN THE SHOE :
McDermott Makes One OF
His Best Speeches, and
So Does DAILY.

days is not characterized by bowling MODS
of heelers and satellites who break into
vociferous, automatic-like cheering every
time a candidates name is mentioned.
But wen dressed, intelligent mechanics
and laboring men, sit for hours with mt
tie or no outward demonstration until
some great truth is driven home, ana lheh
burst into spontaneous outbursts of APP
plause that win shake a building with lhs
| s~toutest of beams. Such was the meet
| ing in st. MichaeIs Hall last night. II
| lasted till near midnight. But those IRE
quent outbursts of applause Shove plaln-
ly that the heart of the Horseshoe was
beating in unison with the great cause OF
Democracy.

gent. most Of them residents. occupied
seats upon the platform or stood within
the wings.
There were several features that charac-
terized last nights big demonstration.
Allan McDermott, who spoke toward the
last. it was generally admitted. made
probably his most effective speech OF the
campaign with little or no apparent ef-
fort. His scathing denunciation Of the
Journal and his replies TO the mean
and vile attacks of that sheet upon ms
public and private career, and the manner
In which he made PAPER mache eoss OF
the Journals" editors and his opponent
in the Senatorial race, will always pc re-
garded by those who heard hin as a mas
terpiece of argumen and ~eloquence. The
big audience also had the pleasure OF rs
tening to an eloquent Arizona
nor, now a resident of Newark. It listen
ed also to Robert D. Ward, who repre-
sented 1000 engineers n their assist
ants, who had pledged themselves 10
vote for Crane and the Democratic ticket
in the interest of labor. And before the
audience dispersed Terry Mcdonald threw
chunks of wisdom at it. Mr.. Leake was
making an effective speech when Senator
Daily. candidate for Congress, entered the
han. He was warmly cheered.
God help Corcoranin' said a man in a
front seat. "Bill means business'' Mr..
Daily said he had just returned from
Washington, where he had been arguing
a case in the Supreme Court. He was
pleased to see so many in the big hall; It
meant victory. He said it had been his
mission to follow Voorhees, from one end
Of the State to the other. and meet that
gentleman's false arguments in favor Of
the conduct of the Republican party in
State affairs; but he found that Mr.. Voor-
bees had st%udiously avoided a discussion
of the State issues. In Camden Mr..
voorhees, had said that at no time had
public attention been less directed to
ClalE dtidlIS lIdA a. ~
bees knew this was untrue.
'sHe knew said the Senator, that if
ever there was a time in the history of
the State when State issues demanded
public attention, tina time was the pres
emit. There was method in the avoidance
of a discussion of State issues. If Mr..
voorhees, discussed State affairs he would
be compelled to explain why there has
-, +hA odf4t1 roC Mnf
every State department under Republican
rule. He would be compelled TO explain
why the Republicans expended in one
year nearly $500, 600 more than the Demo-
Gratis did in any one year of almost thir-
ty that it ruled the State He attacked
the title which the Republicans conferred
upon Mr.. Voorhees,, of War Governor
and said it was enough to make Joel
Parker turn in his grave. The Republican
| party, he said, had refused to appropriate
| none for any contingency that might
arise on land or sea for the comfort ana
s~ustenance of the States volunteer sol
diers. ut could afford to put the State
to an expense of 1850 to correct an err
ror Of a typewriter he said. 1t was
certainly a higher duty to make provision
for services rendered by its heroes. But
the Republicans don want to discuss
these affairs"
He said that the Republicans had car
ried the war to a successful issue. He
could count by hundreds the men who lett
this county and State to fight the nations
battles who were the sons of Democratic
sires. The Republican party had no
| right to make such a claim. For two
years the Democratic party and press
pushed the government to compel the
Spanish atrocities in Cuba to cease" he
said; but on account Of the demands Of
| capitalists, in alleged interests of trade,
the barbarities were allowed to continue
| until they shocked the entire civilized
world. 1t was the Democratic party and
press that placed the island Of Cuba un-
der the control of the United States"
Mr.. Daily said the election of a Demo
| cratic Congress was necessary in order TO
ascertain why indignities were heaped
| upon the soldiers who went to the late
war, and to pave the way for a Demo
cratic President two years hence.
John c. Sweeney said it gave him great
pleasure to lend whatever help he could TO
