speech, but presented some very
interesting facts regarding the issues
which confront the people, He also
emphasized the fact that the Repub-
licans are not entitled to the glory OF
our American Hispano war. He de-
voted a few minutes to the Dingley
Bill and its deficiency and asserted
that the tariff issue is dead and the
greatest and paramount question is
The financial Issue. After reciting a
few anecdotes be concluded his speech
by urging the Democrats to go to the
polls and vote and not stay at home
like they did In 1894.
Capt. Allen delivered q very able
address, devoting his time to the
causes of the late Hispano-American
war. He dealt with the tariff issue
and asserted that it was dead.
John Orear, Howard Buckley and
HenryC ollier delivered short speeches,
which were interesting. The people
departed at a late hour, feeling that ii
was good to mingie with each other
on such an occasion.
