CHAIRMAN'S REMARKS.
After a patriotic overture by the
Mozart band Mr.. Reynolds called the
meeting to order and expressed his
pleasurable disappointment at the
large attendance--the change OF dates.
he had feared, would cause confusion
and result in a small attendance.
He then proceeded to review the po-
litical history of the country for the
past ten years, pointing out the dis
astrous results of the Cleveland ad-
ministratiOn and the boneticent conse-
quences of the change TO Republican
regime. One Of the results OF this
change he pointed out was that instead
of balance in trade against us. as
was the case during pemocracy's $
reign, this country now receives into
its Golfers $4,000 of foreign gold
every hour of the day.
The eyes of the whole world are on
Pennsylvania today he said. A defeat
or decreased majority i'm this. the
banner Republican state of the Union,
would he a blow To protection, a blow
to sound money a blow to William
Mckinley.
\ splendid ovation was given Con-
Sressman Conncll when he came for
ward as the next speaker, Tie ac-
knowledged it with every evidence of
intense qualification and after few
predatory remarks said, in part:

In closing Mr.. Connell appealed fo
united support for the whole Republi
can ticket, especially admonishing Re
publicans against the dangerous prac

Mr.. Connell was cheered to the ecb
as he concluded his remarks.

speaker, is favOrte with Carbondal
audiences, as was attested by the an
