uifs ShutCh
The republicans of Falls Church. Va, and
vicinity had a big rally Saturday night at
Odd Fellows Hail. under the auspices of
the Mckinley and Roosevelt Campaign
Club. Mr.. J. NJ. Thorne. president of the
club. presided and opened the meeting with
eloquent address. Mr.J w. Langley
of Kentucky was the first speaker of the
evening. He discussed the issues of the
day. saying the democratic lparty had to be
always searching for new issues, as every
republican administration proved its theor-
les false and its prophesies unfounded.
Their now paramount issue of imperialism
would in the next campaign be relegated to
oblivion the same as the famous 18 to l is
in the present campaign. Imperialism, he
said, is mere Scarecrow, set UP by the
democrats to deceive the people, but would
fail in its purpose; the voters are too intel
ligent to be frightened by shadows. MIR.
Langley's address was interspersed with
amusing anecdotes used to illustrate his
many telling points.
Mr.. Irwin DUNCAN of Ohio being intro
duced a repentant democrat, said he
had only repented of his vote and support
of Bryan four years ago. He is now heart
lily supporting Mckinley because of his
brilliant and successful administration
Providence seemed to have intervened in
behalf of the republican party by supplying
an abundance of gold, and he could not
stand in the way of Providence. Under
Mckinley the whole world now respected
this nation it did no other. He had
carried the ola nag during the CIVIL war
and could not agree with his democratic
brethren that it should be ever taken down
where once planted in new territory.
