Special Dispatch to the Post-Inselligencer.
TACOMA, Nov 5.-Hon. Webster Davis
addressed a very large audience at the
Tacoma theater tonight. His speech was
an eloquent refutation OF the SANDERS
against the administration and q concise
statement CT the issues now before the
people. and was listened to with marked
interest throughout. The large audience
was liberal with repeated applause, and
the general verdict is that the speech WAS
the most mastery argument heard here
during TIE campaign. He said in part:
That Is the truest American policy
which shall most usefuliy employ Ameri-
can capital and American labor, and best
sustain the whole population. /, is a fun
damentai axiom that the great interests
OF the country are united and inseparable:
that agriculture. commerce and manufac-
lures VIII prosper together or languish to-
gether; and that all legislation is danger
Gus wn.ch proposes to benefit one of these
without looking to consequences which may
fall on the others.
No Glasses In America.
The Republican party has always rec
ognized the dignity of labor and the no.
bllity OF toll II has always refused TO
recognize the existence OF classes In this
country. That party believes that society
must not be liked in straias like the crust
OF the earth. for instance, which lies N
layers OF rock, OF clay and of coal. and OF
mineral. such as ii is in foreign lands.

rather like the ocean, so wide, so long. SO
deep and SO free in all its parts that every
grain OF sand that mingies with the waters
at the bottom may rise through all the
waters until II CLEANS like q crystal on the
crest OF the highest wave.

Order Out Of Chaos.
Our present national administration has
brought order out OF chaos in this country.
When II began its career unrest and dis

War Revenue Law.
II take 1t that the Republican war rev.
