The theatre wns tastefully dernrated
with American Macs, festooned from
the balconies, boxes and proeenluni.
and on either side of the stas-e was a
lnrire picture of SleKlnley and Hobart.
The boxes and loges containeil many
ladies, and many others were scattered
about the other portions of the house.
Slajor Kverett Warren introduced
the chairman of the eveninsr. Attorney
Iteynolds, who opened the meeting w th
the following terse and appropriate ad
dress: "I'pon behalf of the county commit
tee I welcome with pleasure this splen
did nudienee. It is a Rood siffn of the
times when the public evinces the In
terest It does in the issues of tills cam
paign, for when the American public is
aroused the force of Us opinion is Ir
resistible. "I desire nt this time upon behalf of
the county committee to thank the nble
and eloquent speakers who have been
cnc-aned In the work for the huccoss of
the Republican ticket, local and na
tional. The candidates alsr acknow
ledge with gratitude and appreciation
the excellent service you have rendered
in this campaign.
"We welcome particularly the ladles
present this evt ning. for w"P recognize
'that the hand that rocks the cradle,
rules the world.'
"In the moment of peril in our na
tional history they have borne their
share of the dangers, and have suf
fered when the nation suffered.
"In William Connell, we have a can
didate who has enlisted the voter as
well as the party worker in the cause
of good government. His election will
Insure to this district a congressman
who will contribute to legislation the
experience of business. To the whole
ticket every voter owes loyalty and I
predict its success from top to bottom.
"The closing hours of this memorable
campaign bring with them the assur
ance of a glorious victory. The lines of
the political parties are drawn up for
the battle of the ballots, which shall
decide whether national honor may
with safety be Intrusted to popular
sovereignty, or whether, for the mo
ment at least, the power of the dema
gogue shall triumph over our institu
tions. "National Integrity can rise no high
er than the individual honesty of its
source, the people, just as no chain can
be stronger than its wenkest link, how
ver true the material of every other
part, however .skilled the hand that
forged It. at the moment of It greatest
trial, it snaps asunder, and the purpose
of its creation is thus defeated. The
honor, patriotism and good sense of the
American people will be asserted In no
uncertain manner on the 3d day of November.
"The ground swell of indignant pro
test is now unmistukuble, and the
shouts of victory over depression, re
pudiation, revolution and anarchy will
be heard from the Atlantic to the Pa
eihe; it will echound re-echoe from con
tinent to continent, to proclaim to the
world the eternal honesty and patriot
ism of the American people.
"The free silver movement was con
ceived in selllshness; It was born In re
pudiation and dishonor. The silver
mine owner seized the opportunity of
f.itti.ning upon the distress of a na
tion, nnd the oth-.T element in a few
western states saw in it a ixissibllity of
repudiating a portion of It debts. The
latter attributes the cyclone and th
cinc h bug. the drouth and the grass
hopper nnd all the ills thut flesh Is heir
to. to Shirk Hunna and the gold stand
ard. "They profess not to believe that a
free trade taritr and the law of supply
and demand nre the real causes of all
their woes. This element views its ob
ligations as did Sheridan the celebrated
wit who, when presented by his tailor
with a bill, upon which there bud ac
cumulated a lanre amount of interest,
replied, 'It in not my princitile to pay
the interest, nur my Interest to pay the
principal.'
"They have seemed willing to grnsrt
the most untennble theories presented,
which speciously promised them ex
emption from their Just -obligations.
"At this moment of peril it is the duty
of all voters to declare as did Unfa
Choate nt such another period In. our
history: "We Join ourselves to no par
ty that does not enrrv the flag and keep
step to the music of the Union.'
"After a period of donression caused
by vicious taritT legislation which has
cost to labor and to cnpltnl more thnn
all the wars of this republic combined,
the Popoeratio party asks the people to
adopt free silver, free trade and the
monstrous propositions of the Chicago
plittform. The answer to these will be
li ndeivd by the people ever honest and
patriotic. We awuit with confidence
the verdict.
"The Republican party welcomes as
It did in l.Kfil those patriots of the Dem
ocratic party who, bv the rising tide
of conscience, have been swept from
their political moorings of manv years,
into the safe harbor of Republicanism,
which, Is and has ever been the safe
guard' of liberty, national honor and
national prosperity.
"With the dawninc of the morning
of November ith. the gloom of free
trade, free sliver and anarchy w ill dis
appear, and with confidence restored
by Republican success the republic w ill
march on. Columbia leading In the pro
cession of nntlonn to new nchlevements
nnd more glorious victories, for with
Slilion we believe 'Pence hath her vic
tories no less renowned than war.' "

Sir. Reynolds then ailed upon Alfred
('. Wooler. who rendered In bis excel
lent tenor voice and with much spirit
a campaign song composed by himself,
entitled. "William ("opm :l Is the .Man."
The song is written to the nlr of
"Tramp. Trump. Tramp, the Hoys are

applause followed the rendition of ihe

Jovernor Hastings was then present

he could proceed. He said:
GOVERNOR HASTINGS ADDRESS.
"Sir. Chairman, ladles nnd gentle
man: I surely would lie Insensible to
every iiunlity of gratitude if I did not
thank you with a warm heart for this
cordial reception which you have given
me. Two years ago I came to the great
city of Seranton. and 1 apeared liefore
a great audience in this beautiful opera
house, and I made a speech to you that
1 hoped would attract your favorable
attention and consideration, and would
result in the giving of a few more votes
to me than in the ordinary stress of
weather. I come to you again, at the?
end of two years, not to say a word for
myself, except to thank you and my
fellow-citizens of this great county anil
city for the wonderful complimentary
vole which was polled two years ago.
And yet. I must not for a moment con
sider It was a personal compliment to
me. That was a tim when we hud
two years of Orover. We had had two
years of free trade. We had then sure
promises that free trade was coming
upon us like a dark cloud on a summer's
day. The peojile of Uckawnnna coun
ty as well as the people of all the other
counties in our irreat comn-on wealth,
not In compliment to me. but in pro
test against G rover and f n e trade,
made me the humble servant with
which to emphtuUe their protest
aguliiNt Urover ami against free trade,
nnd I wus the lucky recipient; and 1
had the mark of distinction of receiv
ing the greatest majority that was ever
received hy any candidate for governor
in Pennsylvania, and 1 like to say it,
because it pleases me, and flatters me,
to say that I received a larger majority
than anv candidate for governor had
ever received from the foundation of I
the commonwealth up to the present
time.
"Hut I am not hre tonight to say a
word for myself: I am here to say that
1 will not be satisfied with you, or with
the people of your great county, or with
the people of Pennsylvnuia. if you do
not give next Tuesday a greater ma
jority than you gave to me for William
Connell and William McKlnley. (Ap
plause and cries of 'We will do It.') The
two Williams seem to be very popular
irf this audience tonl-rht. Cheers). I
hnve he-n speaking every day and every
night for the past seven .weeks, and as
you may observe my voice is pretty

well gone, and I shall not speak to you
long, and will b entirely grateful to
you if you be good and kind and listen
to me without making too much noise.
I have been away out where the tight
was the thickest, and where they
measure the audiences' not by opera
houses but by acres. I have been In
Indiana, und Indiana is all right.
(Cheersi. 1 hnve been In Illinois, and
I want to tell you that Altgeld will be
snowed under by over Iflll.uoo majority.
(Great applause and cheers). 1 have
no more doubt to night than I have of
my own exlstance. that on next Wed
nesday morning that we will all be re
joicing together In the confirmation and
glorious celebration of the accomplish
ment of the victory which will give
heart and courage to the American peo
ple In the election of .Major William
McKlnley. (Great cheers and ap
plause). "Still I am here to-night, almost on
th verge of the election, and I am to
sneak to vou about .and discuss the
Issues of the campaign.
1SSCKS OF CAMPAIGN.
"The Issues In this campaign were
raised nnd thoroughly discussed at our
convention, which met in St. Louis,
und it wus there we registered our de
votion to the principles and trad thru
of our party, and we named the choice
of the American people for President
in the person of him who was only a
private 'soldier In the ranks, thirty
years ago, when the flag of freedom
trembled in the sky.
"The convention which met at Chi
cago, named a man who had never been
heard of before except as a mountebank
and a reciter, and there was nn atmos
phere of socluli-sm, anarchy and uproar
In that convention which boded no
good to the City of Chicago, or to the
people of this country.
"They raised two or three questions,
und the first they raised was the ques
tion of money, und 1 am going to talk
to you for about live minutes on that
subject. General Latta, who Is sitting
here by my side, says, 'that when he
was a boy, very many years ago, as
you can observe by his distinguished
j appearance, 'that he wrote a copy In
I a copy book, 'money is the root of all
evil.' At nil events, money Is what we
1 nre all after. We are nil trying to get
I it. and in this Treat City cd Scrantoir,
: we nre nil trying to get It honestly,
and all over the country they are all
trying to get it, honestly If they can.
but still they're trying to get it.
I (Laugh er.)
"The first question that comes In my
' mind this evening is "What Is money?'
i Now. we have a great many statesmen
' in this country, and you have heard a
i great many of them. Hut what is
i money? Sir. lttyan has made 177
! speeches, and he has not told us what
money is.
I "To a great and Intelligent audience
' like this, I presume it is not necessary
I to say that all the measures of vulue;
! that ull the wealth that we have In
this great city and county, and In our
own beloved commonwealth, and in our
country, und In all the other parts of
America, and in all the world; it is not
necessary for me to say to you that
the product of ull our wealth, has been,
nnd still Is. and always will be the
product n' our labor. Labor Is our
wealth, and I want to prove that prop
oslilon to you. Long before the foot
of the white man came Into this great
territory which has developed so much
wealth; so much of culture, and so
much Intelligence, you had all the ele
ments of that which you now
have, and more. Your moun
tains were idled With the coal
that you hnve here, and all that
has drawn the great population that
von have. The surface of the earth
was covered with virgin forests and the
fertility of the soil untouched by the
hand of man was there waiting for the
magic capacity of labor to bring the
coal from the mines and to fell the
forests nnd to make them more use
ful; to till the soil, and make it produce
that which the necessity of man re
quires.
IH'K TO ASIEIUCAN LAROR.
"There is not a citizen of this great
county or commonwealth, no matter
how rich or how poor you are, who is not
indebted to your existence up to the
present time to the product of Atnerl
can labor. (Applause). Look at this
wonderful, this beautiful opera house,
What built It? Not money: Money
never built this opera house. It was
latter. (Cheers). Look at these won
oVrful structures. Look at the great
Hotel Jermyn at which I am stopping.
It was labor that built it. Look at all
the fountains of wealth that have been
made and are about you. All are the
product of labor. Now mankind has
len destined by our great Creator to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow. When a being comes Into this
world up to the time he has nn earning
capacity, he is living upon the labor of
some person else, some other man, or
some other people, and when he comes
to that period when he has some earn
ing capacity he becomes a consumer;
nnd when he earns more than he con
sumes, he fiecomes a purchaser, and
then he Is livins upon the product of
his own lalsir. or upon the product of
some ImxI.v else's labor.
"You may take a yard stick, and a
yard stick Is a measure of length. It
does not measure value. A yard stick
mav 1h made out of white oak which
costs but live cents, or It may lie made
of Ivory and pearls, but it will measure
lust the same. It is not it measure of
value. It is a measure of quantity, but
the money that mankind uses in reality
measures both quantity and value, but
it is the quality of the value itself. (Ap
plause.) So the intelligence of man
kind has fixed upon that which Is the
most durable and is the least change
aide, and ha? from the foundation of
civilization up to the present time been
, uae4 as I ha meat urn at value or ax-
change between man and man in com
mercial relations. Our ancestors, our
forefathers, after having riven to the
world the declaration of Independence,
after having formed our great Magna
Charta, after having established our
congress, senate and house of repre
sentatives, and elected as our first pres
ident that glorious man. George Wash
ington, (cheers) then It was that the
patriots of the country turned to each
other and said what value shall we use
as a measure.
"I want to call your attention par
ticularly that It was not a oolltlcal
question, it was a commercial ques
tion, it was a business question. It
was a question that affected classes
and qualities of our citizenship alike,
and had no politics in it at all. They
determined that gold and silver should
be the money standard in the new
I'nlted States of America. What kind
of money? What value? What de
nomination should be given? And tin
ally, after examining carefully, they
determined that the money used In
Spain; the Spanish dollar, was the best
representative of the medium of ex
change in this country. And they took
a large number of Spanish dollars, and
weighed them; and they divided the
total, by the number of dollars, nnd
the quotbo.it was the number of grains
they determined to fix unon as the
quantity of silver In the silver dollar.
Then the next question that came to
them was "How much of that would
be equal in value to a dollar In gold?"
and so the question was as Sir. Hamil
ton stated to the American Congress.
"I need not call your attention to
facts to show thut the quantity of sil
ver Increased very much more largely
than that of gold, and if I hnve an
ounce of gold in this hand. I want to
put in this other hand enough sliver to
make It equal the ounce of gold In the
other hand. So that the real value to
day Is 32 ounces of silver to one of gold.
Instead of It! ounces of silver to one of
gold. The party that you and I le
lleve in has declared by our renresen-
tatives In the St. Louis convention that
If we are to have gold and silver as the
money mctnls of this country we are
going to have them equal In Intrinsic
value. (Great applause). Now the
party to winch Mr. Hrynn belongs has
no care for gold. Mr. Bryan and his
party desire that we shall continue the
coinage of silver free, and that that
coinage shall be continued nt the ratio
of 10 to 1 and that all the sliver owners
In this country, and in all the other
countries of the world may have the
opportunity to come to our American
mints and have their silver coined Into
dollars at the ratio of IS to 1.
'I took a dollar In silver to the treas
ury to a certain counter, and they gave
me a greenback for It. I then took the
greenback to another counter and
asked them to give me a gold dollar for
oil cents worth of silver. Why? Be
cause the faith and credit and honor of
the I nlted States of America was
plKlgcd to redeem this in KKI cents on
the 'dollar. Now I exchange this dollar,
worth, intrinsically, only 50 cents, or a
trifle less than BO cents, for a paper drl
lar, a greenback, which was Intrlnslc-
nlly worth nothing, and then I took
that representative of a dollar to an
other counter In the treasury and I got
what the government agreed to give
for It; that Is the diTerenee between
this government and Mexico
MEXICO VS. UNITED STATES.
"Slexico might agree for -l.OflO years
to make her silver dollar equal 100 cents
In gold, and nobody would believe her.
but when the I'nlted States of America
says that this sliver dollar shall be re
deemed in gold worth 100 cents, every
nation In the world believes ghe Is tell
ing the truth. (Cheers and great ap
plause.) "I went one day in the City of Mexico
to a Spanish restaurant to get my din
ner. When 1 had finished eating I hand !
out a silver dollar, and started to the
door. Before I had gone very far a
Spaniard who talked in a tongue which
I did not understand, and never ex
pected to understand, bowed and hnnd-
ed me a Mexican dollar that had i'i
more grains of silver (laughter) In it
than this dollar. (Laughter and up
plause.) So 1 had my dinner, and got
back more silver than 1 hud when I
started (applause) nnd I was entirely
cheated in the transaction. (Luughter
and applause.)
"Hut Sir. Bryan and his party pro
pose that all the silver in our lnnd, and
In all the other lands, shall be brought
to our mints and shall be coined free
of charge, and shull be stamped $1."0
and because they are stamped $1.00
they will be eventually worth one dol'nr
equal to g. Id. That is Mr. Bryan's prop
osition. Now if our Government can coin
yi.WI worth of Intrinsic value out of
M cents worth of nothing, 1 would like
to nsk this uudlence why this Govern
ment of ours taxes our people. What
Is the necessity of making you and me
pay tnxes every year In intrinsic value,
if the government by its own decree can
make one dollar. 100 cents, out of noth
ing. What is the use of paying SO cents
worth intrinsic value at all. Why not
pay 1'5 cents worth of intrinsic value,
or 10 cents worth, or two cents, or
'nothing, nnd Just decree (laughter)
that this is a dollar, which Is bound
to go as one dollar.
DKSIOCRATIC MAGIC.
Why, if our government had the
power by resolution, or liy Act of Con
gress, to make money, by the wish of
the people what a happy time we would
all have. Just think of it. Why, as I
read long years ago. If I had the lamp
of Aladdin, and hud his magic ring,
and by Just brushing over that ring
ami, giving a wish, I could create
whatever 1 wanted, oh what a good
time I would have in the I'nlted States
of America. I would rub that ring and
I would swing the lamp and I would in
vite you all to enjoy them, and I would
wish every one of you to have mil
lions and millions of dollars, and I
would build tens of thousands of mil
lions of homes, the "most beautiful
homes that your Imagination could
conjure, and I would invite you all
Into them, and I would say to your
boys and girls. "I am going to give
a wish that you have the
best of all educations without
the study of books, and then you
will le the brightest boys and girls in
the world. And I would bnnish all sor
dow, air pain, and I would banish all
sickness, and I would banish the doe
tor, and I would vanish the farmer,
and I would banish everything that
would make you work.
"Unfortunately I am not a magician,
I am Just one of the poor common
plain people of the commonwealth.
"If our government could coin money
out of nothing. I would like to gather
you all up together, and invite you to
go with me to some Island in the
Pacific or Atlantic ocean and leave
everything behind you excepting those
that you love. Bring your children
along. Leave everything else behind
excepting a printing press and a lot
of blank paper, and we would go into
that Island and set up a little Republic
like we had in the I'nited States. We
would isue a declaration of inde
pendence. And we would notify the
IK'opie of all the other islands all around
our neighborhood that we were like
our ancestors, that we believed in hu
man rights. Then we would pass a
bill right away in our congress to issue
forty thousand billions of money,
right off. We would simply set our
printing press to work. We would
never Issue a bill for fifty dollars or one
hundred c'ollnrs or one thousand dol
lars. They would all lie million dollar
bills, and before the printing press
would )x worn out. we would all fie
multi-millionaires. We would be the
richest peoole in the world.
"And finally nleht would come and
we would vnnt something to eat. and
you millionaires would be looking about
for some place to buy some food, and
there would not be a bite of food on
that Island. And you would be look
ing about for some place tu sleep, and
you could not find any place to sleep,
and you would think about your com
fortable bed back In the I'nlted States
and you would say I would give a mil
lion dollars for a bed to sleep in to
night, and you would Bay Oh! I wish
the baker was here, and you would
wish for your butcher, and your
candle tick maker, but they are not
there. And there are plenty of birds
on the Island, and plenty of fish In the
water, but you can't have a gun. be
cause there are not any guns on the
Island, and you cannot buy a fish hook
with all your million dollars. Then we
would call congress together again;
and congress would appoint a commit
tee to go to the other Islands and buy
food, and material to build houses and
he would be furnished with mlllloBs
and millions of money, and he would
go to the I'nlted States of America,
and he would say, I want a million
dollars' worth of bread, and I want
five million dollars' worth of meat, and
I want material to build five million
houses.
"And they would say, what have you
got to pay for it with? And we would
hand out our money, the money of our
own little republic, and the merchant
would turn his back on us. and say:
We do not know you. Who are you?
How do we know that that Is worth
anything? And so the committee would
go back and say to his fellow-millionaires:
'It Is too bad, but our money
isn't good for anything.'
' WOl'LD FIND GOLD.
"I'erhnps. In the meantime, some of
the Ingenious people of this new re
public would begin to hunt around In
their new island, and look among the
rocks, and dig and perhaps find gold.
And then maybe a new commission
would be appointed, and they would
take with them gold. and. they would
go to some of the Islands and maybe
to the United States, and want to buy
food and material to build houses, and
the people would say: 'Why, of course
we will sell you everything you want,
for we know that this is worth every
where 100 cents on every dollar,
(Cheers.)
"But there are other questions for
the American people to take up, than
to be dallying and quarreling and dis
senting among ourselves. I long to see
the time come when America will have
the greater the best and strongest
navy In all the world. (Great cheers
and applause). I want to see the time
come when that flag will lie floating
in the breeze in every seat, and In
every port shall command, yes, and
compel, that every wrong shall be
righted, because the liberty-loving peo
ple of America have declured that no
wrong shall come to any and all who
ask her protection. (Cheers). '
"I want to see the time come when
this country will not stand by and see
a General Weyler murder and cut
down In cold blood a liberty loving peo
ple like ourselves. (Greut applause
and cheering).
"I think It Is a shame nnd a dis
grace to the American people that we
should be here quarreling among our
selves about a change in our money
system when a greuter, grander and
stronger question remains for Ameri
ca to decide. Away off in far off Tur
key human beings like ourselves, just
such as we are, who, for not other
crime than that they believe In the
Fame Christianity that we do, are be
ing murdered day after day, hundreds
npon hundreds, by tiwse heathen, peo
ple, and we have had no representative
from our country who raised a single
protest, except an honest, sweet-faced,
brave little woman. And this brave
little woman went from here to Turkey,
all alone, unaided, but I tell you, la
dles and gentlemen, if I had sent her
there, or if I had hud the power to do it.
I would have sent the whole white
squadron after her, yes, and every ship
in our navy to back her up In her grand
work. (Great cheers and applause).
HOW TO VOTE TUESDAY.
"Now In conclusion, I want to ask
you to vote the square Republican
ticket next Tuesday from the top to the
bottom. I want you to turn your back
on he boy orator of the Platte and
vote for the Hoy Soldier or onto.
(Cheers). I want you to send a solid
gold man to Congress In the person of
William Connell, (Cheers). I don t
want you to send a single silver repre
sentative down to Harrlsburg. We don't
want them there. We hnve no use for
them. I want you to vote for the party
of Abraham Lincoln, the greatest man
that ever gave the spirit of life and
patriotism to the American people.
Vote for the party of Abraham Lincoln.
Vote for the party of IMysses S. Grant,
who commanded the greatest army
thut ever foupht for freedom. Vote for
the common soldier, the man who In
'til worked for us. Vole for your
homes.. Vote for your business. Vote
for your children. Vote for your fam
ilies. Vote for yourself. Friends let us
raise the banner of American citizen
ship. Above all. let us be more particu
lar who we admit to citizenship in the
Culled Stales of America. (Great cheers
and nnpluuse.) It was the mission of
the I'nlted States that America should
be the land of the free and the home
of the brave and thut It should be an
asvluin for all persecuted souls, but no
body who was ever concerned In the
making of these glorious I'nited States,
ever Intended that this country should
be used as the dumping ground of
nsvlutns of ull other nations.
"Those who do not have the Intelli
gence, who do not have the capacity,
who do not have the desire to be a part
of this great American country, should
not be permitted to come to our snores,
and those who have the capacity nnd
thopp who love the love of liberty anil
those who huve a love for law, for or
der. ought always be made welcome
to our shores. Whoever does come here
should be compelled to leave their so
cialisin. their .dynamltelsm. and their
Bryanism and their bombs behind
them. (Grent npntause ana cneers.)
"And. in conclusion. It Is nty earnest
prayer that In this and all other cam
paigns, we shall he, and continue to be,
one great American Republic, having
the one ling: but one call of patriotism;
hut one Bible and but one God. That
Is all. Good night."
GENERAL LATTA'S ADDRESS.
General Latta was cheered long and
loud when he stepped forward In re
sponse to Chairman Reynolds' intro
duction. The governor in his speech
compared the appearance of the general
to that of Moses, and also said some
complimentary things about his
bravery and gallantry as a soldier and
citizen. After a proper acknowledg
ment of the governor's kind words, he
said he didn't think there was any cut
representing Moses or any description
in the books to warrant the governor
In assuming such license. He certainly
didn't think he looked 4.000 years old.
Sloses said, "Money is the root of all
evil." General Iitta was sure hp him
self didn't say that, but he might have
said. "Sloney makes the mare go." But
all the same, Bryan's 50-eent dollars
will not make it go. The speaker tolrl
a story about a meeting of cemetery
trustees who hsd decided that "We
have come to sfnv" would be a very
appropriate inscription to put over the
front gate. The position of the In
habitants of the cemetery is such that
they will etay where they are and will
not move without extraneous help, and
they are In much the same positon as
the Mexican workingmen with their
free silver basis.
When you mnde a nomination of a
man fur congress in this district, he
said, you determined that you had come
to stay by William Connell. and the
congress and the constitution, and
when he goes to congress he will stay
by you.
As to Bryan. Senator Edmunds, of
Vermont, said once that a gold bug
may bo a bad man. but the world
knows that a humbug Is a great deal
worse. There Is a gr.W de.il of the lat
ter quality about Bryan. Wherever
he went through the country the hur
rlcane signals have been set. The only
active rival that he ever had Is the
long distance telephone. The phono
graph will not do Its duty unless it
preserves the voice of the remarkable
boy orator, and the klnetoscope will
fall unless It retains his poses for tha
future Henry Irvings.
While the war was going on the
Southern armies planned an invasion
of the North. They counted on being
able to come tip' Into the fertile and
prosperous valley of the Shenandoah
and desolate and devastate it. So
sure were they of ultimately conquer
ing everything ahead of them that a
youth belonging to one of the Confed
erate regiments who was entitled t
a furlough refused to Uk It because
he always wanted so bad to go to Boa
ton and he did not propow to tnisa th
chance of getting there on the north-
warn march or the rebels Into the en
emy's country.
The youth and the Confederate had
not calculated on meeting with Get-i
tysburg. Bryan wanted so much tn
go to Washington, but he was not look-
ing tor his Uettysburg. He got It in
the result of the election In Wrmonfc
and Maine.
CANDIDATE McKINLET.
There is Wltllom UrViu.. ...u
knows no enemy's country. William
McKinley of the Twenty-third Ohio
regiment, which is the mother of pres
idents. General Latta repeated tho
names of a galaxy of brave soldiers
who fought to save the union and who
Were uh nutrintlf In ,..l,nl.llna

uuiion, unci ne ran sea Major McKlnley
as worthy to take his stand In their Il
lustrious company.
The old Republican party Is In grand

minutes owlnz to the lateness of tha
hour. He said that they had presented
to them Mr. Bryan In all his various
aspects. It struck him that though
Mr. Bryan is a college graduate and a
classical scholar he has failed to note
that In the history of the world gold
has remained the standard of money.
He cited the anecdote of Cupid and
Jupiter. The former was in distress
and desired assistance from the alt
powerful Jupiter. But Jupiter said to
Cupid. "Your bow is tipped with sil
ver, why have s-ou not it tipped with
gold?" Bryan has ignored the wisdom
of this advice and for that reason he
is going around the country today.
In concluding. General Mylln paid
Seranton the compliment of being the
peer of any city In Pennsylvania or
in the United States for all The qualities
of pluck, energy and determination.
What has made Seranton what she Is
will continue to Increase her store, and
thut Is the fostering care of the Repub
lican party,
THE GOVERNOR'S PARTY. '

FINE CAMPAIGN SONG.
It Was Composed by I'rol'essor Ilenrtf
Bonna, of Tnylor.
The follow lug song composed by
Professor Henry Bonna. of Taylor, the)
music of which is similar to an old
Welsh melody, was to have been sung
last night at the Frothinghum meet

hour the singing hud to be dispensed
with.
We'll stand with the party that's nobla

Let all the Republicans join In the fun,
To kill the old story of t to 1.
And never be guilty of losing the race,
To draw our dear country to such a dis
. grace.
We'll pull the boy Bryan right down oft
the stump
And bury his party down deep in ths
dump.
He'll never go preaching free silver no
more.
But hold up the standard of Gold as b
fors. We cannot forget our Connell. the great.
For he is the man that can legislate.
The wants of the people he always can
tell, '
For he has been poor, we know him quits
well.
To congress we'll send him, our laws h
