I pen tiikimr Die chair Mr. Marshall
I hanked the im-inni-l'M for the honor
conferred and in an eloiiieul strain
l-puke U.H follows:
Mil. MAItSllAI.Itf KK.MAIIKS.
's young men v are gathered to
'iiirlii to form un association of all
those who aiv to cast their votes this
tali in the interests of American honor
ami American policy for William Mr-Kiiib-y,
of inio. I beHev that it Is nil
important thing for u young man In
Hailing in life to start right, and as
lids is llie start in polities for most of
ii-s it is of course important thai we
should start right In tills. Some of us
may have Democratic parents, or come
t ii in Democratic families, but utter ull
that makes very little difference. 1 ant
sure thai the main thing for us to con
sider this year is which of the parties
is in lite tfght. Many old Democrats
all over the country, who have been
oting the Democratic ticket for yeurs,
ate going to change this fall and vote
lor McKinley. believing It to be the
best tiling. Now, if an old Democrat
can do this after the huliit of voting
tin' other way, It ought to be n good
leal eps'er for a young Democrat who
has not as yet acquired that bad habit.
I am going to vote fur .McKinley und
the whole Republican ticket from top
to bottom, because I believe the prin
cipals of Republicanism to be right anil
because 1 believe that this country will
never he prosperous again until after
it gets back tinder Republican rule.
"tine reason why 1 believe we all
should vote the Republican ticket this
year. Is because the hard times of
which we are suffering and from which
we have been suffering for the past
three yea's are due in my opinion en
tirely to the success of the Democratic
party four years ago. of course they
deny this, and claim that it Is because
of the gold standard, but as I look at
l he mutter we had the same standard
In IMiJ that we now have, and times
never were better than they were then.
We have the same mills, the same fac
tories and the same farms that we hnd
then, and still times are altogether dif
ferent. OA 1813 OP DEPRKSSIOX.
"I believe the present depression wus
brought about because of the repeal of
llie McKinley act, and the passing the
Wilson bill in Its place. Under protec
tion times got steadily belter and we
. Mere uble as a nation to pay our debts.
Tinier Democratic rule times have
been getting harder und the nation
us well as individuals Is suffering be
cause of It. And I believe In my heart
tonight that we will never be prosper
ous again until we get a Republican
administration and a tariff bill which
will protect the American labor against
foreign competition and furnish
enough revenue to pay the debts of this
f, real natlnn without selling bonds.
"You ull know that since the war It
has never been necessary to sell bonds
to provide money for the nation, under
llie Itepubllcun administrations. That
is ulso a strong reason why we should
ull cast our votes for William Connell,
In order that this district may be rep
resented In the next congress by a
nmn who knows our needs and who Is
willing to help enact a strong tariff law,
.which will be a benefit to our indust
ries. "Another strong reason why we
should vote the Republican ticket is
thai a vote for Mr. Rryan means a vote
to reduce the value of the present dol
lar. With the dollars ns scarce as they
now are. 1 don't want them cut down
any. When u. man does a day's work
lie Is entitled to receive as his compen
sation the best kind of money, and If
there are two kinds of money, one
good, and (he other poor, I am afraid
that llie poor man will get the poor
money every time. But Voting right Is
only u part of our work after all, we
must try and see that the people who
we know ulso vote right. Some of us
have been doing a lltle work In the
past to see that the voters get out and
vote right. We want to do more than
that this fall. We want not only to see
Hint they get out und vote, but that
when they vote they vote right. I urn
going to try and do myshareof the work
nnd I want every young man, nnd every
old one for that matter, to do the same
and If they do, there will be no ques
tion about the election of the whole Re
publican ticket In this county."
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTKD.
.'Tli following resolutions were
adopted:
We, the members of "The Junior
H publican club," In regular meeting ux
, .-einhleil, do make (lie following ilerla ra
tion uf principles:
We iifllrm our ulleglanee to the principles
of Keptiblifunism, us delined by the na
liulial platform, adopted ut Ht. Iuils, and
Jlie stale plutlonn, uilopled ut llurrislmrg
)n April last.
We believe that (he Republican policy
uf protection ami rcclprocitf is us nec
essary tu tiie niaintenutii'e of a prosperous
condition of the national treasury us the
uithcrtlim uf i he sound money principle
Is in maintaining. Its credit and honor.
We therefore, earnestly ask all young
men of IwiekawmiiiiL county, regardless
of parly ullilialions to co-operate with us
In llie work of l enteral Inn of prosperity
iiful security to the American people, lv
the eltetloii to llie presidency uf the
I 'lilted -States of that gallant soldier,
statesman unit givnl cliuniplon of proteo
x 4 lun u nit sound money, the Hun. William
M Klnley, of Ohio, anil his cnllenfclle, the
lion. Ourrett A. Ibiliarl, of New Jersey,
' M the Vice presidency, believing that these
men nouses in a greater degree than any
of the other candidates asking; for our
suffrage, those rare qualities of broad,
wise anil patriotic statesmanship which
ill I beta fur a successful administration
of the Uriahs of I he American people, and
thai the principles which they espouse
inure fully accord with our conception of
thul government policy, which secures the
best government und the greater good to
the greater number.
We also Invite the support of the young
men of this county, irrespective of party,
in the election to congress that man
whose Independence of character and sym
patliin nature are only equalled by his
untiring Industry, in behalf of his fellow
citizens, Mr. William Connell.
We also attirm our allegiance to the bal
ance of the ticket named at the Republi
can county convention, vis.: Giles Rob
erts and 8. W. Roberts, for county com
missioners, und A. K. Klefer and Fred L.
Ward, for county auditors.
We further pledge our united support
to the candidacy of Hon. Alexander Con
nell for representative from this legisla
tive district.

WILL JIKKT THURSDAY.
The club will turn out In full force
this evening to celebrate the banner
raising In front of the rooms of the
Central club. It will meet every Thurs
day until election and every member
feels it a duty incumbent Uln him to
bring In as muny new members as pos
sible. Addresses were given by Attorney M.
W. Lowry, J. M. Walker and Hon. A.
T. Connell. The latter won suffering
from a painful attack of throat trouble
and spoke only briefly. Mr. Lowry
branched out Into an Interesting re
view of the political situation. 'He said
that this campaign is not second even
to that of 1NK1 when Lincoln was the
candidate und the country was threat
ened and there was danger that it
would be rent in twain. Today the In
tegrity, honesty, and credit of the na
tion is threatened.
The Republican party Is advocating
nothing new. It has ulways stood for
prosperity and sound money. It Is the
Democratic party that has changed,
but Mr. Lowry thinks they are honest
In their belief, only being misguided.
The reason we have wages in excess of
other countries is because the Republi
can party with its protective laws has
fostered manufacture and trade. It Is
not more money we need now, but a
greater circulation of that which we
have, and which cannot be brought
alioul except by starting our mills,
mines and factories going.
Any person who goes tu Washington
can tind flil'.'i.tHiu.UiiU in sliver stucked up
in the treasury vaults now. The gov
ernment has silver to burn, as it were,
and I here Is more money per capita to
day in the I'liiled States than In any
other country of the world except
l-'innce. What we waul Is u restora
tion of confidence so that Hie men who
have money will use it. We have the
same money now we had between INMi
and IS!- and then the land was blossom
ing witli prosperity.
SOME STRONG RESOLUTIONS.

cotupet hihv to raise sutileleiit revenue to
meet the expenses of the government ill
tune of tiea.-e without Issuing bonds lo
the ainiiiiM'. of two hundred and sixty -two
million .tijllars, and
Whereas, Our country Is In the midst of

COMPANY NOT SATISFIED.
Turnpike People Believe the City Is
!Not Living I'p toSts Promise.
After the receipt of Mayor Hailey's
notification that the otty proposed to
repair West Market street, the Turn
pike company agreed to give the city
until October 1 to carry out Its prom
ise nnd if by that time It had not ful
filled Its agreement, the Turnpike com
pany would, it stated, renew Its opera
tions. The city In fulfillment of Its promise
has hnd a gang of men working on the
road, but their work Is not and has not
been satisfactory to the Turnpike peo
ple. The street commissioner's men
have merely shoveled out the gutters
und leveled off a few humps and have
not as yet made any move lo wards
making permanent repairs.
In view of this the Turnpike com
pany is threatening tn go on the load"
again and finish the niacudainizing be
gan at the l.eggetfs creek bridge.
President H. 10. Paine to a Tribune re
porter suid. yesterday, that the-company
has not fully determined just
what steps It will take, but It Is most
likely that It will refuse to approve of
the work the city Is doing und go on
and do It Itself.

MARKETS AND STOCKS !
Mali Street Keviru.
New York, Oct. 1. Stocks were less
active today, the sales amounting to
179.776 shares against 219,000 shares yes
terday. The falling oft in business was
partly due to the excitement In the
wheat market, the bull movement in
the cereal having attracted general at
tention. A feature of the days opera
tions was the absorption of the low
priced Issues at advancing figures.
Pacific Mail, Atchinson. Missouri
Pacillc, Reading, Southern Railway
preferred selling at the best figures for
some time past.
In the (losing dealings the market
was influenced to a Blight extent by
Sugar's erratic course, and part of this
advance was lost. Speculation left off
barely steady.

be a. scarcity of gold, comparatively,
but you must remember ulways tn
making the comparison that the gold
that exists In this world, as well as the
silver, is not the product of one year.
"It Is the product of the whole world
from the very time when sliver and
gold .were first dug out of the bowels
of the earth until now. That Is ' e
stock we have got on hand, and we
add to It year by year.
It may possibly be that In some years
the additions are not great, but that In
other the additions are greater, but
the history of the world shows thnt
while the production of silver and
gold, both of them. In past times used
to be very nearly uniform Shat is not
the fact now.
"The fact Is the world is 100 years
older than It was 100 years ago today,
and 'it knows more, and It has discov
ered processes of producing silver at
the in-lce that would make the old
Spaniard aghast at the thought o it.
"Now let us see whut effect that has
had. I can't remember ull these fig
ured, but 1 can remember some of
tlietn.
"In the five years before 1870 there
was B4S,000.0OO of gold dug out of the
eurth: iii 1S0 to 185 it had increased
to $73:1,000,000, about $1,000,004). Thut
is an increase the world could stand
without disturbance.
"How was it about silver for the
five years from 1865 to 1870'.' Coinage
value, 1 am giving you. It was $:'78.000,
(HM). How much do you suppose it was
from 1890 to 1 SH.'i ? $1.004.000,000 four
times as much. And do you suppose
that under such lncrense of produc
tion the level of silver could remain
stable?
"hy we know it did not. Anrtyet
during: that period of time the Vnlted
States has bought und used $61!u.0O0,.
000 of silver, taken it nut of the mar
ket. Nevertheless it has been going
down." Tom Reed at Portland.
