CNtlOONDED ENTHUSIASM AT HOIII. Tf EILEK'S MAM. WEDNEsDAl NIOHT. The Pointed Speeches of W. V, Baa!, Jehn A, Cejle and Jehn E. Maleaa entered te tbe Eche-1 ha First Meeting etla ran ter's Democracy a Great Seecrss. Wednesday evening a large and very en thusiastic meeting of Democrats, under the ausplee) of the Tartu Reform club, of Lan Lan oaster, was beld In Reth welter's hall, ever Cspt Penlz's saloon, en West King street This was the first meeting of the party In tbls city, and it was largely attended. Early In the evening the Eighth Ward Battalion, headed by a dram corps, marched te the rooms of the Yeung Men's Democratic elnb. A large number of membere of the latter organization fell into line behind them and marched te the meeting. The Battalion beya carried new and improved torebea and they marched re mat k ably welt Many members of both clubs carried bandannas, whleh they waved, and there was great enthusiasm along the Bhert route 'of parade. When the elnb arrived at the hall there was a great rush te get In, and in a short time tbe room was paoked. Jehn A. Cejle, esq , presided at the meeting, and also msde an address. County Chairman Jehn E. Malene and ex State Chairman W. U. Hensel alsospekeat some lengtb. The speakers were listened te with tbe closest attention, and tbe applause was tremendous at times, Mr. Ceylo, upon taking tbe ehair, made a brlct speech, expressing his thanka for the honor conferred upon htm and reviewing tbe course of tbe Democracy In thla city and the country generally during the past twelve years. He referred feelingly te the Tllden campaign, the exultation or the party in Its triumph and the bitter disap pointment et being beaten by fraud. lie recalled the energy of the city Democrats In 18S0 and at last, In 1881, the party had triumphed ever Its old enemy. In Cleveland the Democracy had found a courageous leader and tbe country a pa triotic president He would be re elected because he ought te be His course had commended him te honest men and te eltlzsna who fat geed government above party. Mr. Deyle continued for fifteen minutes and was frequently Interrupted by applause. Hecencluded by introducing Jehn E Malene, esq, chairman of tbe Demoeratlo oeunty committee. Mr. Malene spoke for a half hour in ex position of the Demoeratlo tariff reform policy. He explained tbe necessity for relief from the situation Imposed upon tbe government by the Increasing surplus, and pointed out what a moderate measure of roduetion the Mills bill actually was. It aimed cbltlly te provide raw material, ae neoessary te Amerlean manufactures, and te reduce the cett of these necessaries el life whleh enter Inte every werklngman's borne. In spirited and foretble language Mr. Malene depleted tbe evils of monopo lies, grown up under the protective sys tem ; and with keen sarcasm ridiculed the charge that a party was for free trade be cause it proposed te mitigate these evils by reducing duties from 47 te 40 per cent The speaker especially appealed te working men, who were sought te be misled by a false appeal te their prejudleee, te examlne the question for themselves and decide by their votes wbetber a Ui en their neces sities wss any "protection" te their wages. Mr. Malone's telling points were received with applause and manifold signs of ap preciation. W. U. Hensel closed the meetlng In a speech of three quarters of an hour whleh was listened te with marked attention, the patient audlence remalnlcg en their feet until nearly ten o'clock. Mr. Henael said be had net ceme te 'strike a key-note" el the lesal eampalgn, nor had he leaded te Ore en tbls occasion any 'epening gun," but If any member of tbe Republican organization In this city wanted te dlseuss tbe Damoeratlo and the Republican positions en tbe tariff, before a mixed audlenee, tbe speaker would be glad te meet him in joint debate; and especially If bla friend, Mr. Breslus tbe heir nx pea tan t te tbe congressional seat, would undertake te demonstrate tbat free whisky was better for tbe workingman than free wool, free salt, free lumber and free coal, he might take two-thirds of the time. (Applause). Tbe speaker then went into a sketchy dlscutslen of tbe questions raised by tbe surplus, and a contrast of tbe methods by which the different parties propeso te re duce It He denied that the present tariff rates protected" American labor, and squarely antagonized tbe Republican po sition tbst these rates represented tbe difference In tbe oest et pr.dnctlen here and abroad, P.Bslng from tbe tariff ques tion te tbe record of the administration he exte'led Cleveland, and challenged attaek upon the Intelligence, tbe honesty, tbe economy and tbe patriotism of tbe execu tive branch of tbe government since 1885 He paid a tribute te Judge Thurman ; and in conclusion urged upon his hearers vigi lant attention te the details of orgsnlzatlen and te tbe pending work of registration. Tbe meetlng then dispersed, having been a oempleto success.

Tbe drivers coolly rat down end began abusing each ether while a crowd was attracted and well entertained for ten minutes or mere Finally tbe East End man backed down from bis position, and, turning bis horses areubd, dreve back te tbe iquare. He was very mad and threatened te have a big Investigation made, While tbe ear was Btandlng several people were Inconveni enced. Among tbe witnesses te the trouble were two reporters, wbe with ethers, en jeyed tbe fun. One et these wanted te get out EaBt King street, and he was net pro pre pared te stay long In one place, as he bad a paper box with a quart or Ice cream.

What He told lit t'eup oerwiscoBsIa et the Present Administration, Secretary of the Interior Vilas delivered a speeeh in Milwaukee en Wednesday before an Immense audlenee. The secre tary, alter reterrlng te the duty of tht tht veter and challenging criticism e! President Cleveland's administration, said: 1 Invite you te contrast the oewdltkma, the principles and professions of the op posing parties In tbls contest, and the premise of tbe future allerded by them respectively. What la the Republican party of te day. and wherein la It battel or mera worthy et confidence than It was In 183 It It was in tbe beginning mera a popular uprising than a polttleal parly. It found origin and qnteksnlng power In tbe blgh appeal of Justice and tenderness for hutusu brethren In oppreaslen, and tn the honest zeal of deep oenvlotlon Its following was well nigh fanatical. It was a crusade against a great national aln, and it fell en the time appointed et Heaven for tbe purification of the pubile by fire. Be It rose tee rapidly te power like the whirlwind, and like the whirlwind It swept lis oeurie et destructive though wholesome violence. Within a decode the evil whleh had engendered Its being was mera tbsn destroyed ; It was deraelnated aa by dynamite, and tbe land was strewn with tbe mighty wreck, where In fantastle ohaes lay states, ceimitutlins and people amid the wldellunit Imvoeol war. Tnatwaa tbe logical rerled et tbe ptrty's exlstenee, Ii steed upon or possessed no doctrines of gov ernment, no principles for tbe guidance of the Institutions et freedom In the repose el peace. It was net national, but sectional; apirty for civil war, net ter national fra ternity. But the hoartefavlctorlnuspeople was iu Its grasp anil the rsge of war was long unspent Thu party retained unslaok unslaek ened cn'rel et nil legislation and taxation, with all thelr possibilities of fraudulent gain. It was the opportunity et oppor tunities for political Ircobeoters. And never for one moment did tbey suspend thelr efforts nor spare the exhausted people. Upen one pretext and another, fromalmeat tbe earliest grasp et ltopubllean dominion, corruption beean its work and schemes for .dishonest onrlehmont of the few te prevail. it was in iwj: mat, pursuing tee senti ment that national defeuse required a trans continental highway, tbe PaelQj railway legislation begun, and In 1804 that wltu unrelenting unity, It was se amended te diabolical perfection tbat tbe government really built tbe reads aud gave tbem, with land enough ter an empire, te tbe auooess aueoess auoeess lut conspirators Then also the earliest act for levying taxes, and afterward, with a greed heightened with each new gluttony, every revenue measure was perverted and distorted by Ingenious touches Impercep tible te any but the praotlced eye, by whleh a private tribute was extorted from the people flve times greater than tbe tax that went te the treasury. Then It was, hidden In tbe tariff, that tbe monstrous vampire whleh seductively fans with tbe wtngs et protcelton tbe laborer wheie heart's bleed it sueks was bf gotten In sin te rob the toll tell ing produeors lu the field and forests of the weslth they create. And when war had ceased a great people, with Its oeffers un locked snd Its resources exposed, lay before tbe spoiler wblle In tbe exhaustion of Htrugsle and the beat of rage national guardianship was geno. Then followed audi n celrure of tbe na tional wealth by various dovlees, se rapa cious, se gigantic, se lugouleus In tbe methods by which tbe grasp was laid, aa has never ten exhibited in history. Noth ing Is cemparable te It but India under Warren Hastings. Otber nations have been despoiled by conquerors in tbe open force et unlicensed conquests; this people was rebbed by the devllsb manipulation of Its own legislation nnd emergencies et ad ministration In tbe hands of its supposed friends. COIUtUrTION Of DAYH O0NE 11Y. The secretary then referred te corruption In pubile contracts, touehingupon the part nerablp et Grant & Ward ; te custom house scandals, undervaluatiens en imports, navy Jobs and star route contracts, and declared that tbese and ether things of like character had driven the best men of the Republican party out et It, Instancing Sumner, Chase, Uroeley, Trumbull and Beeeber. .These, be di elared, bad entered tbe Demoeratlo party, nnd their places bad been taken by tbosewhom tbe Domncratle party could best afford te lese. He declared that tbe only policy of tbe only branch of the gov ernment renmlnlng Republican since 1681 the Banatc was comprised in two words, obstruction end misrepresentation as te everything for the aoeeral geed, and Instanced tbe tardy confirmation of Chief Justice Fuller, the rejection et tbe fisheries treaty and the delay in passing tbe retalia tion aet asked for by President Cleveland. Tbls proposed legislation, be declared, was calculated te Inlliet tbe hosvlest damage en Cansds witb the least hurt te this country. The Interests et Nortbern New England, asserted, were net te be compared witb these el tbe great Wrist ; besides tbe trouble was all en new j:ngiana'a behalf. Tne Republican party, be said, has become the Bourbon party. Turning aealn te the Democratic party, tbe speaker suld that the challenge in the national Democratic platform of a scrutiny into tbe renins of a Demoeratlo administra tion was a sate ene, and continued as Al Al eows: If you turn te tbe department of state you will find that everywhere the national dig nity has been maintained, national rights carefully and firmly proteeted, and tbe re public In pesce and ge:xl will with allthe powers et thoeirth, save only as Republi can obstruction leaves a needleis hostility with our northern neighbor. If you would take tbe treasury, its guardianship of our financial Interests oemmanda respect en every band. Yeu recall tbe disturbed financial relations of 1881 and tbe early part of 1885 and tbe painful apprehension of impending disaster under which the lamented Manning began his wise care of that department j hew apprehension gradually ebanged te oenfi dence; hew, thou, shrinking buslnees put en a deki aim cnterprisirig lace ; new throughout every part of this land our affairs have prospered. 1 spoke a few minutes since of thu former praotlee of undervaluatien of tbe ceeds of favored Importers, wbe rnade tbe "proper deduction for political expenses," as a eupbemlstle souater has recently put It Note the figures and see ir tbore be slgnlflcanoe in tbem. Tbe fiscal year ended June 30, 1835, whleh em braced tbe camp ilgn of 1881, yielded a cus toms revenue et but ? 181,000,000 1 14 000,000 less than the previous year, wblle during the first year of IIiIh administration tbey yielded 101 000 000; during tbe second year 1217 000,000, and during the third year f2-.!0,000 000. Is thore no significance et political methods lu tbe sudden drop et 14,000,000 in the valuation or Im. ports during tbe campaign year and the prompt restoration In tbe follow ing year? Loek also at the Internal reve nue for a moment The collections for tbe fiscal year 18S5 (the lst Republican year) were 111'.: 000 COO ; for 18.30 (Cleveland's first veBr) H17.C0O00O; 1887,1119,000,000; 1888, 125,000,000. In both these departments the oest of collection bad both largely decreased under tbe present administration. Tbe speaker then took up tbe tariff ques tion, ana dwelt upeultat great length te show the dangers and lnjustlee of a blgh protective tariff, and Ibe advantages whleh would accrue from a reduction in Impert charges In the way of enlarged trade and tbe decreased cost et living. Tbe argument was mainly from tbe farmers' standpoint Taken lu the I'eeltentUry. Sheriff Burkbelder took three prisoners te the Kaetern penitentiary tbls morning, They were Geerge Sharp, sentenced te three years and nine months for a number et larcenies; Themas Malley, sentenced te seven years and two months for similar etlenses ; and Frank Newberry for two years for attempted rape.
