J. Tilden. The reading of tins dispatch was followed by ohoer after cheer. It was fifteen minutes before order was restored. Col. W. F. Vilas was chonen Chairman. He said ho came to testify for the great West and its intense feeling of satisfuctloa and pleasure over the ticket nud platform, which is so heartfelt and sincore that the g ! ad news will be heard on eleo ion night that the Northwest joins with New York in favor of reform in tho administration of pub ic affairs. The chief speech of tho evening at this gathering was made by ex-Speaker ltandall. He said: My coming here Indicates that I am to be In the .orefront of the light. I stind ready to aid. as la as my Intellect and «aj unity extend, to socure the elcctlo t of the cand dates nominated by the Democratic National Convent on. Tho fraud of lain can now be proiierly punished. To elect a Democrat indicates that tho people are ready to right a groat public wrong. The principles of the D mo ratio t ar.y were asserted by the loun ler of tue party In ills nangurat He declared that to reduce to an economical basis the taxes of tho Government was me duty of the party. Labor should not Ikar unjust burdens, Tho Supremo Court must be taught that they cannot make laws. The r ghta ot American citizens unlawfully attacked must be defended. No alliance with foreign powers must be allowed. No foreign powers must be allowed to lnteitere with tho American Government or mod'lie In American affairs. I shall not deal in personalities. The parties and their principle are the r Issues. In Mr. Blaine's letter, and Gen. Logan's also. It is said that the Democratic party was not friendly to an American navy. Blnoe the war $lO ,oo ,o«0 has been expended on the navy. In the past ten years tho greatest enemy of the Amer.cam navy has b en tho admini tra ion at Washington. On the question o, theta-Iff I assert that the utterances of the Democratic platform are the most lnt Uigent and bus ne s-liko ever made by ah American convention Republicans concede that the present tariff needs reform. The Democrats go turihO", end indicate how it shall be done. They d> oJare that taxes shall be reduced so that the ocst of the foioign ar icle which comes Into the United Btates in competition, when hers, with the American product shall have that duty levied against it which will till up the gap between the cost of the inrelia article tn the for ign country to make it the equal ot tha Ainer oan article, and which will be so place# that the American laborer may not hare nis wages reduced, but shall have a tart of, not a moiety in, the profits of production. They talk, about the Republican t arty being the friend et the laboring man. Why, the Republican party has always been on the side of monopoly and corporations, and against the workingman. At the Leland Opera House ax-Governor. Walker presided, and Congressman P. A. Collins, of Boston, and Joseph Pulitzer, of New York, addressed the meeting. All the speaker laid special stress on the necessity of administrative reform. Mr. Collins, after showing that Gov. Cleveland was not, as charged, the slave of monopolies, the enemy of 1 .bor, and the foe of the Irish and the Catholics, said: Those of ns who spring from the Irish race are here to stay. Whatever our Irish affiliations may be In American politics, we are Amai leans, pure and simple. We ask nothing on aooount of one race or creed, and submit to i o slight or injury on aocountof either. We are merged la this great nationality sharing the burdens ahd blessing* of the freest people on earth. All wo ask la equality. The man who takes eae ot demands more is no true Amaru an Those who seek to make uaacamori g tl .es, seeking to use American political means to other than American ends, a e merely Inverting KnowNcthlnglsm. and playing upon the .mpulses «f m n for their own i-e.tlsh purpose Whl< h ' f the parties will give ns the best administration? Under which wi 1 the country be moat prosperous at home and respected abroad? Jhe Re üblican party mil t ta id on Its record. Under its ] raoti e we have a reign of < orruption, speculation, aw n lies, panto , st ikes, myriads of idle iianda, labor sixty cents a day in layered Penney vania; our comm roe ha* left the ieas; our diplomacy long since degenerated inte fiunkvyiam; our citizens lio in foreign dungeons with mt redress. James G. Bla no is the fit cand da e fo~ that party. We preter the party that never trailed the American Hag n the duat at home or abroad; the party that stood by the farmer and workingman ana not men poly; the party ot local self-gove nmenr, Individual liberty, pare and economical adminia.ration. It is true, as Mr. Blaine says, that the oountry was very prosperous between 1860 and 1880. It is also true that Mr. Blaine was very prosperous during the same Seriod. It is ui.de stood, however, that ir. Blaine's prosperity was not due to the tariff. A Cleveland club of 100 members bae been form'd at Har an, lowa it being the first Demoo atio club ever organized ia. Shelby County.
