DEMOCRATIC MEETING Al THE TURNER
[From Saturdays Daily.1

From Saturdays Daily.]
h C. A. Windle, of Ottawa, ILL.,, editor
of the Gatling Gun, formally opened
The democratic campaign in this city
last evening by addressing an audi
ence atsthe Turner opera house. He
devoted most of his attention to I'M
perialism," as he termed it, and fred
volley after volley at the administra-
ton of President Mckinley, and sent Il
parting shot or two nj trusts. He han
died the money question and Good
Times" as if they We're hot, discussing
hem with as few words as possible.
Mr.. Windle has been in Iowa but "A
short time, but wiz remain in the state
making speeches until October 25.
The meeting last evening was called
20 order by d. e. Chisman after Sc
lection by the Wapello Chief band. Mr..
Chisman introduced G.. G. Leech, chair
man of the democratic county central
committee, who, after a few remarks,
introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Windle acknowledged his intro
duction to the audience by bow, and
began by saying that when that Amer
ican scholar and statesman, Charles
Sumner, was travelling in Europe, he
turned his face towards Rome, and sa-
luted Italy as the land of poetry and
song. Travelling with him was Ger
man who, seeing his action, turned his
face towards Columbia's shores and
greeted her as the land of poetry and
song, the birthplace of civilization and
religious liberty, the land of the free
and the home of the brave.
1t is because we reverence our institu-
tions that we appear here tonight; it
is because we are patriotic and deter
mined that free institutions shall not
perish that we are going about this
country telling the people truths of
justice and of right. The speaker took
for granted that all men We're as pa
triotic as himself, and that they loved
the flag as well as he. He said the
country was facing the crisis that
made Abraham Lincoln tremble. Cor
poraltions are multiplying. There new
er We're so many as in the past few
years. The wealth of this great ma
ton is being rapidly concentrated in
the hands of few great trusts. We
are today following in the footsteps of
former nations. Some people are
blind, some are prejudiced and some
refuse to read The signs of the times.
There was time when the fight be-
tween the parties was only fight be-
tween the ms and outs, but that day
has passed. Mighty forces are now be-
ing marshaled which must test our
love of liberty and our right of self
government. We may shut our eyes
to the fact, but we are today approach
ing the mightiest economic revolution
this world has ever Witnessed; such as
has never been contemplated in its his
tory.
The Money Question.
In 1896 the republican party declared
for international bimetallism, and they
would have had bimetallism if England
could have been induced to accept the
proposition. She refused and the re-
publican party followed her dictation

were in 1896, but attributed the cause
to the increased demand for American
products. caused by the famine in Con-
tinental Europe, and by the recent dis
coveries of gold in Alaska. Mr.. Win
die left the money question, by saying
that it seemed to be getting along all
right.
The Philippine Policy.
The republican party, he said, had
always been the champion of liberty,
but in her treatment of the Filipinos
had contradicted herself. Mr.. Windle
denounced the Philippine policy of the
present administration, in the most
scathing terms. He said that this
country had apparently substituted the
old doctrine OF Imperialism in the place
|of the declaration of independence, and
that now orr policy was that might
makes right" instead of the liberty
and justice methods upon which the
government was founded. When the
Spanish-American war broke out, ii
was in the cause of humanity, and was
ended in splendor and glory, but al the
close we Immediately got into trouble
over the Philippine Islands. The Fill
pinos demand their liberty, and
! George llI'' refuses it. The remain
der of Mr.. Windle's discourse on impe-
rialism was a TRADE of abuse of the
republican administration concerning
the Philippines.
In concluding his address Mr.. Windle
told his audience 10 go home and work
telling them that the democrats have
splendid state ticket, headed by that
gallant soldier and patriot, Fred w.
White, whowill make an excellent gov
ernor. He is a great man, and III cast
ing their votes for him they would
show their displeasure of Mckinley
policy.

The ceremony was very simple and
impressive, and was conducted by the

the cemetery where they were laid to
rest in the family plat by the side of
the parents.
AS the remains were lowered to their
last resting place the chorus chanted
the beautiful words of the ''Nunc
Dimittis."
