THE RIGHT OF THE MAJORITY.
Cleveland Plain Dealer

There is one thing about which hon
est Americans cannot differ. and tha.
Is the right OF the majority 10 rule
this country and 70 conduct its public
Affairs. The man that advocates any
other method Of carrying forward our
political Affairs Is not a republican, sni
therefore he is not an American. Tn,
man hat attempts TO put into effect
any other system Of government Il q
reYolutionist and traitor to his
colntrys most tacrsd principles. So
evident Is this truth that It seems UNI
necessary to emphasize It. Yet It Is
true that while there are few who
would venture 10 deny the theory Of
American government. there are too
many who steadily strive 10 pervert Us
practice, and who, although they de-
clare their allegiance 20 republican
principles. keep on trying TO put some-
thing else In the place Of majority
rule. Such schemes can only have
temporary success when the people are
deceived as TO the facts.

Fourteenth street Members OF the order
from surrounding aeries had been invited
and so many accepted the invitation, at
tracted by the excellent program which
had been arranged, that the hall was
thoroughly crowded, nearly as many being
obliged to stand as could find seats. The
evenings entertainment was opened with
an address OF welcome by Judge McFar-
land, in which the speaker took oppor-
tunity to review the work OF the lodge and
to make predictions for the future.
Three boxing matches and a wrestling
match between Coleman and Kennedy had
been arranged, and each of these numbers
held the audience in the closest attention.
Strayer and May went through a most
interesting bout, later Greenman and lie
Roy and then Jensen and Campbell. The
set-tos were all fast and of a kind to
satisfy the onlookers. The wrestling match
came last and was the biggest event of
the evening. 1t was not of long duration,
however, Coleman securing the first two
falls. Because of the length of the pro-
gram and consequent lateness OF the hour
the third fall was not attempted Another
number receiving much applause was the
