OF the candidate for jury commissioner speaks
for itself.

MIR. VREELANDS ADDRESS.
The mayor was followed by Hon. 8.
s. Vreeland. of New Jersey, a forceful
ana eloquent speaker who held the
close attention OF the audience for over
half an hour with his able presentation
of the campaign issues. Among other
things, he said:
The recent mine strike which convulsed this
part OF the country was a successful strike
more because Of the prevailing good times.
which are the direct result OF Republican
administration, than for any other reason. II
the operators had not been obliged to send
coal to the great factories all over the country:
II the majority Of those factories were closed
down. as they generally are during Democratic
administration. the miner might have got down
on his knees to the operators and begged to
have been taken back at the old wages to 10
avail.
Look behind every one OF the false issucs
which the Democratic party has raised this
year, and you'll find the silver lining Of 18 to l.
There Is only one real issue in this campaign
and that's the free silver issue. We have Mr.
Bryan's own words lie said:."lf any man be-
lieves in the gold standard. lie shouldn't vote
for me, because will do everything in my
power to overthrow it," Thnt was in 1886. but

this year and Mr. Bryan is in honor bound. il
elected, to carry out the principles laid down
in that platform.
Mr.. Vreeland at this point entered
into logical refutation of the free
silver arguments Of Mr.. Bryan, and
told of the dire results which would
follow the adoption of any such finan-
cial policy. "Mr. Bryan might just IS
we'll say" said he, that you can make
a two-foot man into a six-foot man by
act Of congress as to say that with the
ratio Of 16 to you can make good dol
lars in unlimited quantities out of fifty
cents worth of silver" Continuing, he
said:
II Bryans sympathy with the yellow people
G.O0O miles away is sincere, one would think that
some little chord OF affection in his heart would
he touched at the spectacle presented by the
Democratic party in the South, which is again
seeking to put the shackes on the black man.
for whose freedom yon men, many of you,
fought bravey. They're limiting his power
OF suffrage that he can't vote, but Mr.. Bryan
looks and says nothing,
If you men OF Lackawanna county don't give
Mr.. Mckinley a big majority and re-elect Mr..
Conncl. I'll turn my back on you when come
again. Get the vote ont and let this he one
of the banner Republican counties of this great
Republican state.
