forms of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are agreed that second
cluss properties shall be taxed at local
rates for local uses. "But, he de-
clared, "the platforms differ as TO
the taxing of the main stem.
Mr.. Stokes propounded question
for Mr. Black to answer, namely
"Where will the money, which the
Democrats promise to save, in order
to cut down the alleged public extra
vangance, be taken from. Will they
take it from the good roads, tho in

Mr.. Dalzell said that the voters
should not only elect Roosevelt and
Fairbanks, but also Republican

The whole city was aroused about
6 O'Clock lnst night because James
Toomey was fumigating tho house
which he owns Mt State aud Gordon
streets, prior to its occupancy by new
tenants. He was burning sulphur in
eyeiy room and some one outside
thought Tho house was on fire and
turned in the alarm from box "a,
Kenrny ayonue and Gordon street.
The firemen we're soon on the scenes
and, to all appearances, the house
really did seem to be mass of flames
inside. The firemen wre about to get
down to business when Mr.. .Toomey
explained matters.
Mr.. Toomey went to the house with
the idea of pulling off some of the
wall paper and fumigating. It grew
dark before ho knew it, but that did
not deter him from his purpose. He
went from the cellar to the attic,
placing small terra Gotta vases in
every room. They were filled with
sulphur and lighted.
Shortly afterward q citizen passing
noticsd the Pickering glare and at
once jumped to the conclusion that
the house was on fro He sounded
the alarm and when the fremen and
hundreds of citizens gathered Mr.
Toomey had hard task explaining to
them that mistake had been made.
| When the crowd began to arrive the
glare in the house made tho place
look as if it was a roaring furnace
and Il Q people could not understand
why the tiremen stood around and did
not attempt to save the place. When
the reason was finally passed arouni
they all left for home.
Mr.. Toomey had expected to go
home for supper and then attend o
meeting, bnt, as he feared another
alarm might be turned in he remained

stated that Mr.. Howell h vi persuade |
MIR. Dnlzell, one of his friends in the
House of Representatives, to come
to this city. Mr.. Howell name was
greeted with applause, and three
cheers were again given for Congress-
man Dalzell.
Mr.. Dalzell is forceful, convincing
speaker. His arguments are clear and
concise and his points well defined,
His.sp ,ech was marked by continued
out bursts of hand clapping, and he
held his audience in complete inter
est for m hour and five minu ties.
The speaker told of Tie advances in
trade during the last eight years OF
Republican national rule, and the
similar advances made preceding the
last administration of Grover Cleve
land, when, he declared, the march
of our national progress was arrested
and mills, mines, shops and factories
were closed on every hand. He came
out strongly for q protective tariff to
foster and conserve our home indus
tries.
Industrial supremacy, Mr.. Dalzell
declared, hinges on the production Of
coal, iron and steel. in which the
United States leads the world. He
referred to the formation and foster
ing of the tin-plate industry by Will
liam Mckinley, then chairman of
committee on ways and means in the
House OF Representatives,. Mr.. Nc.
Kinley's name was greeted with loud
applause.
Mr.. Dalzull declared that 1.-THE Re-
publican p,rty is the party of young
men the party of progress and pro-
teotion; the party which has adde d
Cuba to the list of nations. and given
enlightenment to neutrality-suspicious.
and Porto Rico; the party which
twice elected william Mckinley to the
presidency; ard the party which will
tl:is year elect Theodore Roosevelt -
This utterance was the signal for ap-
plause.
The speaker ridiculed Judge Park
er's gold telegram, and declared that
no president can change his party s
platform, and that therefore no can
didate can change his party's plat
form The money question was dis
cussed at length.
MIR. Dalzell declared that the Demo
cratic party had no convictions, but
thatsevery four years it was seized
with violent desire to have the
country from some imaginary danger.
"Tne Democratic party, he said,
"eontains varied collection of the
political freaks of the country"
