A PORTENTOUS CAMPAIGN.
ADDRESS OF SENATOR DAVIS
AT THE HAMILTON CLUB
Do the American People Want Change Prosperity and
Expansion Adversely and Contraction? The Mission
of the Republican Party Is Not Ended.

carrying the argument too far and yet
a navy, in the establishment of militar-
ism or Imperialism, could reduce our
coast cities. could attack Washington,
could hold the arsenals and strategic
points on all our shores, and do as
much as, and possibly more, than an
army could toward the overthrow of
this government. or the change of its
form. A small BRAZILIAN navy did this
once to Brazil and attempted 1t again.
The truth Is. there is no danger from
either of these great arms of our mill
tary service. They are the right hand
and the left hand of our power and de-
fense at home and abroad. Their offi-
GERS and men are as loyal as Grant and
Sherman and Sheridan and Farragut
and Porter and Worden and their sol
diers and sailors We're in their time.
II the existence of the Republican
party should be closed to-day, its his
tory would be that of the nation saved,
of n protective system under which the
United States has become the greatest
manufacturing nation in the world. of
a general industrial development which
sustains 75,0OO.000 of people, of finan-
cial system which has created an un-
impeachable credit, of all the blessings
which civilization can confer on hu-
manity.
But its existence will not end this
year, nor for many years to come. Its
august mission is not yet performed.
So long as 1t represents. as 1t does now,
the national prosperity and honor, ma
tional growth with renoun and right,
national prestige In the relations OF the
United States with foreign powers as
the result of the neutrality OF puis-
SAINT nation, safe in the enjoyment OF
all its rights. because OF its manifest
ability to cause other nations to respect
them. the Republican party will shape
the destinies of the American people.

by far the greatest problem. the most
far-reaching in Its stupendous impor-
tance, is that problem, or rather that
group OF problems, which we have
grown to speak OF as the labor ques-
ton.
The foundation OF our whole social
structure rests upon the material and
moral well being, the intelligence. the
foresight, the sanity. the sense OF duty
and the wholesale patriotism OF the
wage worker. This is doubly SO now.
for. in addition to each mans indi-
vidual action, you have learned the
great lesson of acting in combination.
1t would be impossible to overestimnte
the far-renching influence of, and, on
the whole, the amount of good done
through your associations. In address
ing you the one thing that wish to
avoid is any mere glittering generality,
any mere high-sounding phraseology.
and, above all, any appeal whatsoever
made In n demagogic spirit, or In n
spirit OF mere emotionalism. When we
come to dealing with our social and In
dustrial needs, remedies, rights and
wrongs, n ton OF oratory Is not worth
an ounce of hard-headed. kindly com
mon sense. The fundamental law of
healthy political life in this great re-
public is that each man shall in deed
and not merely in word be treated
strictly on his worth as n man: that
each shall do full justice to his fellow
and in return shall exact full justice
from him. Each group Of men has its
special interests. and yet tho. higher,
the broader and deeper interests are
those which apply to all men alike, for
the spirit OF brotherhood In American
citizenship. when rightly understood
and rightly applied, is more Impor-
tant than aught else. Let us scrupu-
lousy regard the special interest of the
wage worker. the farmer. the manu-
facturer and the merchants, giving to
each man his due, and also seeing that
he does not wrong his fellows; but let
us ever keep clearly before our minds
the great fact that where the deepest
chords are touched the interests OF all
are alike and must be guarded alike.
Bewarc of Hatred.
We must beware OF any attempt to
make hatred In any form the basis of
action. Most emphatically each OF us
needs to stand up for his own rights:
all men and NIL groups of men are
bound to retain their self-respcct, and
in demanding this same respect from
others to see that they are not Injured
and that they have secured to them
the fullest liberty of thought and ac-
ton. But to feel that n grudge against
others, while 1t may or may not harm
them, is sure, in the long run to do
Infinitely greater harm to the man him
self
The more n healthy American sees
Of ones fellow Americans the greater
grows his conviction that our chief
troubles come from mutnnl misuuder-
standing, from failure to appreciate
one another's point Of view. In other
words, the great need is fellow feeling,
sympathy, brotherhood; and all this
naturally comes by association. It II
therefore Of vital Importance that there
should be such association. Tha most
serious disadvantage In city life is the
tendency of each man to keep fsc1ated
in his own little net. and to look upon
the vast majority Of his fellow citizens
indinerently 10 that he soon b9comee
to forget that they have the sams red

IN BRIDGEPORT AFTER JULY
FIRST.
MAJORITY FAVORED CHANGE
From BeIIaire, Where the Meetings
Have Been HeId-The Union Con-
sisSered a Number of Important
Matters at the Regular Meeting
Yesterday Afternoon-Proceedings
in Detail.

The Belmont Central Trades and
Labor Union convened in regular ses-
sion yesterday at Bellaire, with Pres
ident James in the chair. In the abb
sence of Secretary Smith, Vice Pres.
iGent Curtis was made secretary, and
Mr.. Stead vice president. The attend
ance was fair, but not neal what this
Union should have, but those who
were present added much life to the
meeting and made it one OF the most
interesting for several months.
The Martins Ferry blacksmith trou-
BILE was brought up, and a letter was
read from the NJ. H. n. P. A, stating
that the member in the above city
had not received fair treatment, and
that he was a member of their union.
This union claims he is a journeyman
and should become affiliated with this
union, and a motion to that effect was
made and carried and the secretary
will notify the other association.
A resolution was presented asking
for a change in the constitution in re-
gard to the salary of the secretary,
which changes the amount from s12
to $25. Owing to the constitution,
this matter shall have to be before the
Union for month, and then action
taken.
Treasurer j.. E. Winters resigned,
but his resignation was not accepted.
A motion was made and carried that
the secretary ascertain if the strike
against the Pittsburg papers had been
declared off. 1t was also agreed that
the Bellaire printers controversy be
laid over until the next meeting.
The leading action OF the Union was
the question Of moving the Union
from Bellaire to Bridgeport, and a
motion was made to postpone ac-
ton until next meeting, but the mo-
ton was lost. The motion to move
the meeting place was taken up and
after much discussion, which at times
brought forth much applause, but all
of the arguments were made in good
spirit, the vote showing that the dele
gates present wished the Union to
meet in Bridgeport. 1t was carried
by a two-thirds majority
Inc trustees were 0rQered 10 secure
a hall in Bridgeport and notify the
secretary, who will notify the dele
gates in what hall they shall meet
in Bridgeport at the next date of meet
ing in July.
The outing committee which was in
charge Of the excursion to Belmont
Part, Sunday, made a report, which
showed it was not a success, owing to
the inclement weather. The bills re-
garding this outing were ordered paid.
The committee has made arrangements
to give a lawn fete in Martins Ferry
next Wednesday evening, corner of
Broadway and Buckeye streets, in the
Watson lot, where all kinds of refresh
ments will be served.
Two new local delegates were re-
ceived and installed. The Union ad-
journed to meet at Bridgeport July LIST.

be dropped from the rolls of the COM

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1T.-At
the Democratic Congressional head
quarters here the pipe dreams that ema-
nate from Republican politicians re-
lating to West Virginia Democratic
plans are discussed with amusement
One of these dreams to the effect that
the administration wants White elect
ed Governor even at the sacrifice OF FL
kins is too absurd almost TO mention.
Another, which is of more Importance
is that Holt is to be traded of for Dem.
ocratic members of the Legislature sc
as to insure the election of McGraw 10
the Senate. 1t may be said on the bes,
authority that nothing OF the sort will
be countenanced. The prospects oil
Democratic success all around are Sc
good that trading would be foolish as
we'll as unnecessary. and besides Holt
is too strong a man 10 be the subject
OF a trade in votes. McCfraw's friends
here have been made 10 understand
that he does not "a Il trading
done on his account, and his efforts
will be directed TO securing the undi-
yided support of the West Virginia De-
mocracy for the whole ticket. The
stories of deals for the defeat of Holt
are undoubtedly put u TO bolster ND
the White campaign. They have no
foundation in the purposes OF any West
Virginia Democratic leaders.
The Democratic organization in West
Virginia this year is much stronger
and more extensive than ever before,
approaching IN at least two districts 10
a precinct organization. This fact en-
ables the leaders TO size up the situa-
ton pretty exactly. 1t is said on the
basis of the reports SO far received that
never were the Democrats of the State
SO harmonious, enthusiastic and hope
full. So good are things looking that
at Congressional headquarters here
they are beginning to talk about car
rying three 0 Il OF four districts, and
of giving Dovener a hard fight for the
fourth. The distribution OF literature
both from headquarters here and from
other sources, Will be larger than ever.
A special literary bureau viii be main
tanned for the dissemination OF matters
particularly affecting the West Virginia
campaign.
Judge Romeo Fl. Freer came 10 town
the other day after his defeat and was
interviewed to the effect that he was
hilariously and enthusiastically stand
ing by the Republican party and had
MT a grievance in the world. He hadn't
a word to say against those who turn
ed him down, wasn't sore and hadn't
been Modified by the promise OF a fed
eral appointment. Nevertheless every
body here counts his district In tho
Democratic column when figuring on
next falls results.
II is understood here that Congress-
man Johnston, of the Third district,
will be renominated by the convention
when 1t meets in July, Notwithstanding
his unwillingness to accept the nomi-
| nation. His record was an excellent
one for a new member, having put
through the House the only two bills
that passed especially affecting West
Virginia, namely the blu establishing
a fish hatchery and the one for the
erection of a bridge over the Big
Sandy at Kenoya.

Body Identified.

At Piedmont Saturday the body OF
the man who was drowned there, was
exhumed. and John w. Dugan, OF
Bridgeport, was present and identified
it as being that Of his brother Nicely
Dugan. II will be remembered that
when the news OF the drowning was
received in Bridgeport last week 1t was
inferred from the description Of the
victim that it was Nicely" Dugan, OF
that place, and these facts were chron-
icled in the Register. As Mr.. Dugan
was found with his skull crushed II
is thought that he was the victim OF
foul play. When he left home, he was
accompanied by Barney Kerns, also
of Bridgeport, and the latter's friends
fear that he may have met . similar
fate.
