lie affirmed that corporations, of
which there were none when the pro-

| the Republican party, had in recent
years been allowed to abuse the tariff
which had become a cover in which all
men and corporations that desired to

statement that the Democratic party
of the State and nation needed to or

and see that they were punished.
One of the candidates most forcibls

speech was his reference to the power

was 'the cleansing power of the ma

out into the open, and the great masses
of the people would realize what had
been going on all too long under the
protection of the tariff schedules and
other suhterfuges.
/ Toward the conclusion of his re-
markable address. after stating the
substance of the panks that are in
the state Democratic platform, he
naively added that the Republican
platform was somewhat similar in some

mere question of looks. However 1t
was more than that. sit is a question
of service; it is a question between in

After the meeting at Red Bank Mr..
Wilson was caught in a vast crush on
the platform and was compelled for
many minutes to hold an informal re-
ception before he could escape to his
hotel
The Long Branch meeting was held in
the Ocean Casino, and it was estimated
that there were fully $500 persons
iammed into the auditorium when the
candidate pushed out on the platform.
Some enthusiastic admirer threw down
at his feet an immense bunch of roses
which Mr.. Wilson picked up with gra-
cious bow.
He was at his best Saturday night
and won the audience at the very be-
ginning of his speech by graceful and

He addressed himself to the questions
that were before the people of the coun-
