then was said to be almost an exact

policy of the government at that time
was vinidcated then, and it will be

Mr.. Murray's speech was heartily APP
plauded. as was that of his successor on
the platform, Hon. George A. Clark. Mr..
Clark's address was characterized by a
element denunciation of the corrupt
ionists and bribers who nave stained the
fair e%scutcheon of the state with the
idrty 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. he 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
that 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

unconstitutional they can hold up their
innocent faces and say: Well, we did
the best we could" -s.,
DO you people want to know how,
after the republican party gives you an
eight-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 taskmasters of that state.''
Mr.. -Clark's remarks in this connection
were greeted with tremendous applause,
which show they ha dthe proper effect
on his audince.
Hon. T. j. Porter reached the hall as
Mr.. Clark was concluding his speech.
The remarks of the candidate for attor-
n~ey-general were in general the same
as at W~alkerville, and were received
with every expression of appreciation
by his audience.
Between speeches and 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

Andrews acted as ~accompanist on the
pianofOrte.
The worsd of two songs suns by the
quartette were composed by Andrews,
the first tenor, and We're used to popu-
lar tunes. They were the cause of usch
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 a for governor?
Davy Folsom, kin a true:
He'll knock out Toole n Hogan, too;
You car bet on Folsom.
The refrain of the same song is as fol-
lows:
Davy Folsom, don't be lonesome:
We will work like fate;
Or election day We'll make you
Governor of state.
The last verse OF the second sons 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,
Wen have eight hours true.
The refrain to this verse and thos'
which precede it is:
Davy Folsom is all right,
Well put him in the sway;
Well vote for him n all his mates
On next election day.
After the meeting closed r~efresh1nent

The crowd was not contented will
