PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION.
Republicans Listen to Predictions of
Success in NOYemher.

SUCCESS HI NOvemDcr.
Rev. DIR. Robert Nourse of Falls Church,
Va, addressed a meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania Republican Association at T19 9th
street northwest last evening. DIR. Nourse
was formerly a Congregational minister.
The speaker said the United States had
never been so prosperous as under Presi-
dent Mckinley. HE is a grand and noble
LEADER he said. THE democrats say that
16 to is to be cure for our prosperity.
Scarcely a democrat in the country knows
what 16 to 1 means. 1t is more than doubt
in the democratic platform. 1t is the only
plank that Mr.. Bryan insisted should go
into the platform, and by his act he made
that issue the paramount one. Smooth II
over as they will, the democratic policy
means financial immortality. The democratic
platform denounces trusts. 1t is not sin
cere in this denuncfation. and the party
will yet have to explain the New York ice
trust, by which Croker, Van Wyck and
other democratic leaders made the poor
pay 80 cents a hundred pounds for ice
Dr. Nourse declared that Dom Paul was
one of the greatest imperialists of the time.
THE greatest imperialist of them all,
however, continued the speaker. is the
man who four years ago dominated the
democratic convention by his presence and
this year dominated the convention by his
absence. He is filled with the very spirit
of imperialism. Mr.. McKinley's name will
go down with those of Washington and
Lincoln
The presiding officer introduced Mr..
Langley, appointment clerk of the census
bureau. who made a few remarks concern
ing the possibilities Of the approaching
campaign, and predicted success for the ad-
miniStration.
