ney and tariff question, which was a
Reputation of the Chicago platform.
Most OF his time was devoted to abus-
ing Mr.. Dayton's record in Congress-.
Mr.. Dayton followed In speech OF an
hour and a half, eEnphaticaliy denying
Mr., McGraw's Wild assertions and
showing fully that he had given hearty
support to every measure OF any im-
portance during his entire official ca
reer. His arraIgnment of McGraw for.
his rapid transit changes from the gold
10 free silver platform and his present
effort to make q stand on the money
question was the most severe ever vls-.
tied on any man In this district. He
held icGraw up as the champion Of
the Wilson bill and his efforts now TO
play part Of protectionlst, and showed
his character on all public questions.
Mr.. Dayton then discussed principles
of the Republican party and showed
how the beneflcent measure OF thai
party had benefited the whole country.
When McG.aw replied he avoided the
issues entirely. Every unprecedented
person presen. agreed that Mr.; Nc
Graw got the worst trouncins ever. give
