didates and Principles.

James MARITIME, Of Plainfield, the
farmer orator" of Union county,
made an address at pigs knuck1e
dinner given by the Young Mems
Democratic Club in Braga Hall last
night, which contained as much elo-
quence as it did politics.
At least ESQ democrats filled the
hall, which had been appropriately
decorated for the occasion with cam
paign posters and pictures. Over
the stage hung a large picture of
Bryan and a card with the words,
Welcome Young Mems Club"
I'VE Want Bollschweiler," evil
liam Maior-Our Next Recorder"
Every Time-Growney" and similar
signs were in profusion on the walls,
which gave the place every appear
ance of political headquarters.
Lawyer Thomas Brown, president
of the club, shortly after 9 o'clock,
asked the crowd to take seats at the
many large tables while he, with the
members of the club, escorted the
candidates and speakers to seats Of
honor at a table near the stage Pres
fdent Brown made a very pleasing
address of welcome. He referred to
the tariff question in strong terms.
Following the applause which fol-
lowed, he introduced Mr.. MARITIME, the
speaker of the evening.
Marines Speech.
Mr.. MARITIME started off by saying
that he had tonight met for the first
time William Major, the democratic
candidate for recorder, who had re-
minded him that he spoke in the old
city hall here nearly thirty years ago.
1T is true" he continued, 81 did
speak here twenty-eight years ago
and / have been on the stump ever
since.I have never received farthing
for my speaking and, with Gods help
| am going to continue to do so until
l die''
At another time he caused a
laugh when he said: ''If you wait a
little while I'll warm up and then
I'll timber up" He attacked the tar
iff. He spoke on taxation and point
ed with pride to the fact that the rate
in this city this year was twenty
three points lower than last year.
THE republicans say that taxation Is
protection he added. II say it is q
lie."
Ovation for Mayor.
Mayor Bollschweiler entered while
Mr.. MARITIME was speaking and the
latter, on seeing the citys chief
magistrate, grasped him by the hand
and said How are you, Mayor Boil
schweiler" AMI Immediately proposed
three cheers tor him, after the ap-
plause had suDsided The cheers
were given with will, and 1t was ten
minutes before quiet was resumed.
The local candidates on the demo-
cratic ticket were lauded by the
speaker and, when he added that the
party should have a representative in
national affairs, Joseph Massopust
called out 'W. Parker Runyonl" A
storm of applause greeted the re-
mark and, when he could be heard,
Mr. MARITIME said: "You have taken
the words out Of my mouth" He
continued. that he hoped to see Mr..
RInyon in congress and that he
pledged him his support and would
stump for him If nominated. The
orator urged the voters to support
DR.. Ramsay for the assembly and at
another time lauded the present con-
ditions of the city. when I came
here twenty-eight years ago. "he said.
L wallowed in mud to my waist, and
tonight Irode on elegant pavements,
which l know is due to the present
administration and your mayor. I
know you will reflect Mr.. Boil
schweiler. You could not do other
wise when you take into considera-
tion what he has done"
After few remarks on bribery In
politics, Mr.. MARITIME concluded with
a touching little poem, when 1 Am
a Man" The speaker had the floor
over an hour and the ovation which
followed showed that his speech was
appreciated in more than a political
way.
