Cleveland was in office, a row oe men
mad stood for hours waiting for their
turn in a soup house in Chicago. The
row was SO long that people would have
thought an army was going to embark

not known the true cause of the Zine

AS Bryan was passingthroush Texas
ABOUT Two years ago." he said, and de-
ieerlng his free packages of verbal
jewels to an audience in a small town.
a big brawny Texan stepped up and
made him a present of a beautiful blan-
ket. Bryan was so pleased that he again
numbered his vocal apparatus and gave
those people five minutes more of ora
tory.
when he stepped inside the car,
where were his friends and a number of
~heWspapermen, he noticed a piece of pa
per pinned to a corner of the blanket. He
look 1t off and read it. 1t said: Mr..
Bryan, the wool from which this was
mace, IN good old democratic times for
SIX cents a pound. Under the present re-
pupilcan administration it sells for %
cents a pound. Please read this to your
future audiences!' Mr.. Bryan looked
absently out of the window and remark
ed mat it looked awfully like rain"
1t was shown by excerpts from,
speeches. made in the United States con-
sfess by Alexander Long, of Ohio. and
ny senator Voorhees,, of Indiana, in the
year 1861 that a part of the people at
mat time thought the country was GO
ing 10 ruln because of the alleged policy
OF coercion employed by the republican
party with regard to freeing the slaves.
Voorhees, declared that the nation was

then was said to be almost an exact
parallel OF the present situation. The
policy of the government at that time
was vinidcated then, and it will be
now.
MI. Murray's speech was heartily an
piauded as was that of his successor on
the PLATFORM. Hon. George A. Clark. Mr..
ClafKS address was characterized by a
vehement denunciation of the corrupt-
lonists and bribers who have stained the
lar escutcheOn of the state with the
dirty fingers of politics. He made a
strong plea in favor of the republican
platform so far as concerns the eight
hour clause. That clause, stated, SIM
ply declares that the legislators will be
pledged to vote for an eight-hour law.
Such a law would be legal and stand
the test of the courts. The democrats. in
accordance with their usual specious
methods, have added a clause to their
platform stating that they will see to it
that when an eight-hour law is passed
thai there be no corresponding reduction
of wages. This clause would be uncon-
stitutional and the democrats know it
well. However, if they win, they can
pass such a law, and when it is declared
unconstitutional they can hold up their
innocent faces and say: We'll, we did
the best we could"
D you people want to know how.
after the republican party gives you an
elSht-hour law, you can keep from hav-
ing your wages reduced?" inquired
Clark. II will tell you-by organization,
by unions-the same methods you have
pursued in the past, the methods that
led the coal miners of Pennsylvania to
victory in their recent battle with the
grinding ~tasklnasters of that state"
Mr.. Clark's remarks in this connection
We're greeted with tremendous applause,
which showed they had the proper effect
on his audince.
Hon. 7. j. Porter reached the hall as
Mr.. Clark was concluding his speech.
The remarks of the candidate for attor-
ney-general We're in general the same
as at Walkerville, and were received
with every expression of appreciation
by his audience.
speeches. ana at the cOnclu-
sion of the meeting campaign songs
were rendered by the Meaderville Re-
publican quartette, the personnel of
which is as follows: First tenor, Joseph
Andrews; second tenor, John Thomas;
first base, Thomas C. Bowden: second
bass. Nicholas Oppie. Little Florence
Andrews acted as accompanist on the
pianoforte.
The words of two songs sang by the
quartette were composed by Andrews,
the first tenor, and We're used to popu-
lar tunes. They We're the cause of such
a demonstration that the republican
county central committee has about de-
cided to have the quartette sing them
this evening at the Auditorium.
The last verse of the first song fol-
lows:
Whom shall we have for governor?
Davy Folsom, kind and true;
He'll knock out Toole and Hogan, too;
You can bet on Folsom.
The refrain of the same song is as fol-
lows:
Davy Folsom, O be lonesome;
We will work like fate;
On election day We'll make you
Governor of state.
The last verse of the second song COM
posed by Andrews reads:
There is a man whose name is Dave,
An honest man is he;
We want him governor of state
To keep the people free.
We'll vote for him and all his mates,
And for our interests, too:
And if he gets elected, boys,
Well have eight hours true.
The refrain to this verse and those
which precede it is:
Davy Folsom is all right,
Well put him in the sway;
Wen vote for him and all his mates
On next election day.
After the meeting closed refreshments
were served in the ante-roon of the hall.
The crowd was not contented with
cheering in the building, but groups in
the street afterward made the echoes
ring with their huzzas for the party and
