After quoting Lincoln, Mr. Duval said:
I'VE are subjugating a people simply 10
increase our trade and commerce. This
is the policy of President Mckinley. and
he is sacrificing the lives of our soldiers
10 establish colonial system If you
elect Mckinley and Roosevelt you VIII
take the terrible and decisive step Of de-
stroying the power Of our free institu1
items and build upon their ruins the foun-
dations of Imperialism
Mr.. Duval recited some more poetry 10
show that ne was correct. He then cited
the Democratic position on territorial ex-
pansion showing that no force must be
used; that the consent Of the people
should be secured; that the country
should be fit for erection into states and
the people into citizens Of the United
States. ell declared that jefferson never
had any intention other than that these
conditions should be fulfilled in I.ouisi-
ana and would not have purchased the
territory had ne not so held. Leading up
10 a climax on the injunction Of the lowly
Nazarene TO "go into all the world and
preach the gospel unto every people, -
Mr.. Duval declared that the Republicans
would substitute the word shoot" for
preach. and. speaking Of peace and good
win toward men, he declared that upon
this principle the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence was formed. and that the Demo
cratic party stood upon It
His parting injunction was: Keep
alive the Democracy OF Jefferson and the
.Republicanism Of Lincoln by voting the
Democratic national ticket and the fu-
sion county and state tickets"
MIR. Duvsl declared that If elected to
congress there We're three policies he
would favor. as follows: First. give Gu
ia independence: second, extend the con
stitutlon over Porto Rico and make II
territory OF the United States II the
people so desire; third. advise the Phil
ippines to lay down their arms and give
them independence and establish a gov
eminent for them. THE flag OF this
country should never be dishonored IN
a war for conquest" he said.
Mr.. Duval makes rather a queer state
ment in regard to the position he would
assume in Porto Rico. Extend the
constitution over f." ne says. yet the
burden of the song OF the Democrats
when the Republicans last winter were
passing the Porto Rican tariff bill was
the fact that we had an elastic consu-
ton that of its own force and effect
spread itself over our new possessions
the moment they were assumed Yet
the first thing Dir. Duval would do would
be to extend the constitution over Por-
to Rico"
George Hiatt Is a carpenter OF Omar
ron. Four years ago he voted for Bry-
an and was very arduous IN his support
of silver. He said yesterday afternoon:
IF the friends Of Mr.. Bryan can show
one single, isolated promise which Ar.
Bryan made four years ago which has
been kept. or II they can show ono
single promise the Republicans made
made which has not been kept. or a. ef-
fort made to keep t. viii treat every
one in town and never cast another vote.
I'm through with al their ealsuitous
predictions"
After the meeting Mr. Hiatt again
said: Mr. Duyal Is a nice gentleman
but I can't stand his quoting lincoln
and his talk about the dangers that con
front Us. and al that thing"
