Has he fitness exceeding that Of Snyder to
run it2 That is the only question Iask the
Democratic voters to vote for Mr. Muidoou, or
myself as they find our re- -pcctivc ftucss for
the position existing 1t is q question Of iudi-
viduality, and not of political party. Set
aside every other consideration except that
of personal fitness for the place. Not party,
not creed, not nationality, not your likes or
dislikes; but simply consider the question of
fitness of the candidates for the office. 1t is
only question of personal fitness Mr.
Snyder was heartily applaudcd upon the cou-
clusiOn of his address by the large Assem-.
blage.
General Adam A King, Of Baltimore, Md,
whose coming was doubtles,ly i'm a great
measure responsible for the largo number in
the assemblage, was introduced as the next
speaker and made u mastery address 1t
was II masterpiece of oratory, free from ar-
fectatun, or design to work upon the passions
of the audience serious aud rational clean
cut and effective. aud at the same time de-
void Of abuse. General King confined his
attention to the national aud state issues and
maintained that they were of interest In the
present campaign to every voter in every
hamlet in the state of Pennsylvania, the
declarations of the Democratic party to the
contrary notwithstanding. lie reviewed and
compared the histories Of the Republican
aud Democratic parties from the Lincoln
campaign to the present and declared that
the former was the only existing party Of
liberty, humanity aud protection t. home
interests in the United States. At times his
flights for oratOry seemed TO hold the audience
spell.bound and storm of applause was
prccpitatcd during one of these periods,
when Tom BrOderjrk, Of Ellangowuu,
shouted from the entrance to the Iall
'Hoorah for you, old boy Although 1 am
Democratic voter, | like you, anyway"
The exclamation afforded a vent for the vast
audience. General King said that a change Of
2S votes will make Congress Democratic in
the lower branch, make MI Bailey, Of Texas,
speaker, and give him the appointment Of all
the committees, which would be practically
the government of Congress, and free silver
discussions would be again rcopened. lie

cans was merely scheme to divert public
attention from the real issue of the day The
Republican party is not perfect, he declared,
and then asked if the audience knew Of any
human organization that is So He asked if
the audience ever knew of any church or
lodge, or society Of any kind, orany company
in the army, that didn't have some bad men
in the ranks Or did the audience know of
a family that didn't have some black sheep
in it. In Pennsylvania, as in other states and
there are men who play the part
of sheep in wolves clothes. So, amid the
myriad of men who sustain the Republican
party, there are some bad men; but with all
its faults, the Republican party is the only
party in this land that has always been true
to the Union. true to the enforcement of the
cOuntry's laws, and true to the protection
of American industries. The General
added that he thought the people of
Philadelphia did not wait quite long
enough for the Peace Jubilee. He ex-
pressed the belief that the protocol
between the United States and Spain is likely
to be abrogated and kicked to pieces that
the Spanish commissioners are playing for
delay in the conference, so that they can hear
the results of the fall elections in this coun-
try. For, if the people vote against the
Republican administration, the Spanish peo-
pie will proclaim it as a rebukc to President
Mckinley and his administration for prose.
cutting the war and it will give the Spauiards
hope for attaining their aims and courage to
seek intervention. DIR. Swallow was stamped
as a crank, a pretender without qualifications
or serious, honest aims, and leader of mis-
chief makers
Congressman Brumm was the last speaker
and his remarks as whole were in repeti
ton of the many campaign addresses he has
made in this town. lie made one point
which will bear publication, and that was in
a comparison of the Cleveland and Mckinley
administrations. He said They (the Demo
crats) say But you said two years ago,
elect Mckinley and we will give you better
times" | want to say yes, we told you
that and say times are better. Confidence
is the evidence of good times You all re-
member that when Cleveland was elected
President of the United StStes he was there
a few years and bankrupted the treasury
He had to borrow $3.50, 100000 How did he
get it He went to DrcXel, Morgan Il Co.

gave him the money. What did he pay for

When did he do ii In the time of profund
peace, when we were at harmony with each
other and at peace with the entire world.
Mckinley was elected, war was declared, and
Mckinley said II must borrow money"
How did he get it? He didn't go to a syn
lcate He said Il want $500, 100000 He
went before the people and they responded.
With one voice they said I'VE have for you
s2OO, ,OOO, 900, and, if you want it, we have
thousand million to back that up" What
did he pay for this money? Three per cent.
When did he get it2 In time of war. Is not
that an evidence of contidonce2
Upon getting down to local issues Mr.,
Brumm lost his temper and cast the lie to the
writer on a local Democratic newspaper who
charged him with having betrayed the in-
terests of the coal region workingmen. He
challenged the writer to take the platform
with him at any time and prove the allega-
tion. He also said that the Republican party
had made practice for years past of closing
the campaign in Shenandoah but this year
the Democrats had secured the hall for the
night before the election. He sand he would
be prepared to share the platform that night
with any man the Democratic party might
select to discuss issues. 1t was almost eleven
o'clock when Mr.. Brumm concluded his
address.
