RED HOT REPUBLICAN TALK
M'j'r Warner Of Kansas City Speaks Of
National Issues,
POINTS OUT BRYANs EMPTY PROPHECIES
Eloquent. Sarcastic md Patriotic
Dressing Down of Democracy and
It's Policies and Leaders by
Typical Old soldier.

No more forcble, eloquent and conNnc-
ing speech has been made during the cur
rent campaign in Nebraska than that or
Major William Warner Of Kansas City at
Creighton hall last evening. There was an
audience OF fair proportions, and the Inn
pressive earnestness, the burning eloquence,
blisterng sarcasm and apt witticisms of
the speaker ELECTED frequent and earnest
expressions of appreciation. Upon the stage
Major Warner in bearing and physique in
attire and in the tones OF his voice, appears
the old soldier that he is and his utter
ances are marked with the deep command
ing resonance that lends a musical impress
siveness to the military command. He spoke
for two hours and a quarter and so won
the admiration OF his hearers that they
were 10th to allow him to desist and pressed
around him at the close to form his ac-
quaintance and extend assurances of their
hearty appreciation of his address. His
talk was aimed chiefly at Bryan, the fallacy
OF his prophecies and the perniciousness of
his course in the present campaign.
The meeting was opened by a medley of
national airs by portion Of the Seventh
Ward band and f. j. Cornish introduced the
speaker. After few witticsms that ripened
the interest Of the audience the major at
once waded into Bryan and his follow
ing.
II am not one of those" said he, "who
believe that all religion Is to be found in
any one church, nor all honesty in any one
political party. | know all of the honesty is
not to be found in the democratic party.
Some people are in politics through an ear
nest desire to build up and make happy the
American home, believing that upon the
happiness and prosperity Of the American
homo dpDnnd the and nrDSDprity
of the American nation.
Some Want the Money.
Some people are in politics through de-
sire to benefit their country, while Others
are there for the money there is in it,
read recently in the World-Herald an in
tervew with the late democratic candidate
for president, in which, when asked whether
or not he was again intending to be a can
didate for president he replied that he die
not know, but he intended to annoy the
republican party. The gnat can annoy the
elephant, but he will still remain nothing
but a gnat. There are some people whose
chief aim appears always to be annoying
somebody. I am Methodist I believe II
the bible and rely upon the words Of Hin
who spoke as never man spoke: BY theil
fruits shall ye know them BY that stand
ard l want to have you judge of the demo
tldtiC ieptuliCau PARTIES. Will
down the proposition and challenge it's con
tradiction, that since 1861 the democratic
party has passed no legislation in con.
gress that has given a days labor or
days wage to any American citizen. Dur.
ing that time 1t has been in control of tn,
government eight years. From 1884 tt
1888 1t failed to pass the legislation tha
1T wanted to pass. 1t was not to blame tina
during these years it did the country M
injury, for the senate was then republican
and prevented 1t. In 1892 it again got around
among the people and by holding out that il
had not had a chance in its former tern
to pass the measures that it promised fol
their benefit secured another trial.. L
gained control of the executive chair ant
the house and the senate was already demo
cratic, so that the democratic party is en-
titled to all the credit for all the blessings
brought to the nation during that admin
istration. Grover Cleveland was the Mose
who led 1t out Of the wilderness and grea
majority Of his followers heve been sorr,
ever since that the young Moses was eve
brought out OF the bullrushes.
During the administration of Harrison
from 1888 to 1892, the Mckinley tariff bill
was enacted and you will all remember tina
during that period the factories were run
ming and labor was employed at livin
wages by lne speClOuS plea against tn
robber tariff and promises to reform tn
democratic reformers secured the people
trusts and elected a democratic presdeu
and house. The first thing they did was
repeal the Mckinley tariff law and enact i
its stead the mongrel Wilson tariff bill
The fires at once went out in the furnace
the smoke OF the factories no longer fioate
along the skies, the music of industry wa
hushed and hundreds Of thousands OF unem
ployed American workmen walked the stree,
of the cities. They organized armies an
marched to Washington to demand redre;
and when they got there all that they &c
was demand to keep off the grass Th
democrats found the country prosperous
gold in the treasury and labor everywher
employed. In two years after they were re
turned to power the country was prostrat
the treasury was depleted and labor in de
spair and want for employment. BY the
fruits shall ye know them.
