town. ,Tho orqwcl was uun,rucnted to about
6,000 when tho, MoKlntoy residence was
reached. Colonel 0. L. Jackson acted as
spokesman for tho party, and af tor the In
troduction Major McKlnley spoke, In part,
as follows!
"Mr. Jackson and My Fellow Citlrons:
It glvca mo vary grout pleasure to welcome
tho cltlzons of a hoighborlng state to my
city and to my homo. I nolo with groat
satisfaction tho message which your elo
quent spokesman brings me, that the poo
plo of Ponnsylvaula hare lost none of their
devotion to. the groat principles of tho Re
publican party, and that this your thoy
will give to tho Bopubllcan national tlckot
an unrivaled Republican majority. Wo
hnvo had throe .years of blttor oxporlcnce
undor a policy which tho Republican party
has alwuys .opposed, and thero has been
nothlug In that experience to win us to
that poilcy, but everything to Incroase our
dovotlon to tho old policy of protection,
which stands opposed to It
"Tho earnest thought of tho pooplo this
year Is directed to thopresont condition of
the country and how boat to Improve It.
This Is the thought of overy mind and tho
prayer of every soul. Nobody Is satisfied
with our unfortunate business condition,
und tho groat body'of tho pooplo want and
mean to have a chango. What shall the
change bef Shall It be thocontlnuanco of
tho prosont Domocratio party under an
othor leadership a leader ndvooatlng all
tho policies of the Domocatlc party which
havo boon Injurious to tho Amorlcan peo
ple and patriotism and which havo re
ceived tho disapproval of tho pooplo of tho
oountryf
"The wing of tho Democratic party
which controlled tho Chicago convention
is Just as much in fnvor of free trade as
tho wing of tho Democratic party In con
trol of tho national administration. Most
of those prominent In that convention
were conspicuous loaders In tho assault
upon our Industries and labor mado by
the Fifty-third congress. Thoy aro do
voted to this un-American and dostructlvo
policy. It stands opposed to reciprocity,
too, tho splondltl results of which wero so
signally manlfost during the administra
tion of President Harrison.
"If thero was, therefore, but ono ques
tion, that of protection against free trade,
wo would havo It Just as sharply drawn
and as distinctively presented through the
Chicago convention wing of tho Domo
crutlo party as wo had It through tho
united party In 1KB, and a triumph this
year for tho Chicago platform would bo a
signal victory for free trudo and for tho
contlnuanco of free trado legislation. This
wing of tho Democratic party bollovos not
only In freo trado, but It believes in free
silver ata ratio of 16 to 1. Having dimin
ished our business, thoy now seek to di
minish tho valuo of our money. Having
cut wages In two, thoy want to cut tho
money, In which wages aro paid, In two,
and wo will not havo elthor tho ono or the
other.
"Tho other wing of tho Democratic party
is patriotically striving for tho publlo
honor, and Is opposed to free silver, be
cause it believes that such a policy would
disturb oxistlng values, contract the cur
rency of tho country by depriving us of
the use of gold and putting us upon a sil
ver basis, thus creating widespread punio
and bringing to every American Interest
serious injury.
"Gentlemen, confidence lies at the foun
dations of active und successful business
operations. Wo cannot restore confidence
by a proposition to dobaso tho currency of
the government and scale down public
and private obligations. Such a proposi
tion strikes at tho very life of credit and
business. It makes It harder to got money
for legitimate und worthy enterprises by
deliberately proposing to pay back whut
has been already borrowed in u depreci
ated currency. Tho pooplo want neither
free trado nor free silver. Tho ono will
degrade our labor; tho other our money.
Wo are opposed unalterably opposed to
both of them. Wo have tried tho one in a
modified form with disastrous results to
every American homo, and wo aro strongly
opposed to muklng an experiment with
tho other.
"My fellow cltlzons, the pooplo have a
chance this year to tako tho WilBon law off
tho statute books and put a good Ameri
can protective tariff law in Its place which
will provide adequate revenuo for tho gov
ernment and gladden the homo of every
American worktngmun. They have n
chanco this year to prevent tho freo silver
law from going on tho statute books, and
thus keep our monoy of every kind now in
circulation as good as gold, and preserve
our national namo abovo reproach."

William J. Uryan, for forty minutes Sat
urday afternoon, discussed tho financial
Issue from tho sllvor standpoint. Ho was
seconded by Sonutor Stewurt, of Novada,
but was cut short by a relentless shower.
Many housos wero decorated with colorod
bunting, which gave tho village a festal
appearance. Country people came In by
train, hayracks and other vehicles. Mr.
Ilryun was welcomed at tho edgo of tho
village by tho recoptlon committee, und a
brass band from Ked Hook, which fol
lowed tho Bryan-Sowall club, escorted his
carrlauo to the square to the music of
"Hailtofho Chlct." Prank 3 urmsboo
Introduced tho candidate Mr Uryan
thrust his hands Into the pockets of his
blatik alpaca coat and spoke at first In u
colloquial tone, but gradually advanced
to all oratorical pitch. Mr. Uryan said In
part:
".Mr Chairman. Kulles and fientlomon
Wo aro entering upon a eumimtgn which
Is a remarkable ono in many respects.
Heretofore, at least In the last twenty-live
or thirty yrairx, each party has gono into
the campaign practically solid, presenting
a united front against the opposing party,
but In this campaign there has I wen prac
tically a bolt from every convention
which has been held. What doe it meanf
It means that conventions hid deeper this
year than thoy havo loon heretofore; It
mentis that pooplo aro not so willing now
as they have been to allow tho platform of
a party to control their actions.
"Whon our party at Chicago wroto tho
platform we knew that it would oftend
some people. No party can tako a plain,
strong, emphatic position upon any ques
tion without offending somobody. Wo do
clarod in that platform what wo Iwllovod
was right : wo doscrltiod there tho pollclos
whloh we believed wero liest for tho Amor
lcan peoplo, and whon wo did It wo know
that It would ulienuto Rome. Let mo rood
ono 6f tho planks of that platform :
" 'Wo aro opiiosed to tho issuing of in
terest bearing honds of tho United States
In tlhio of peace, and condemn tho traffick
ing with banking syndicates which, In ox
chailgo for bonds at an enormous profit to
thoiiisolvos, supply tho foderal treasury
with gold to maintain tho policy of gold
monbmotallsm.'
"That Is ono of tho planks that was not
put In there to attract tho lovo of thoso
who have grown rich out of tho govern
ment's extremities.
"Do you roinombor tho good book status
that somo eighteen hundred years ago a
man namod Demetrius complained on tho
preaching of tho Gospel. Whyf Why, ho
said, 'It destroys tho buslnoss in which wo
are ebgaged. Wo iu-o making Images for
tho tvorshlp of Diana, and those pooplo
say that thoy be not gods, that are mado
with hands.' But Demetrius was much
llko men who havo lived since his day.
Whoh ho mode up his mind that tho
prenohlng of tho Gospol Interfered with
his business ho did not go out and sny to
tho world, 'Our business Is being injured
and Wo are mad. ' What did ho say f Ho
said, 'Groat Is Diana of tho Ephoslans.'
"Wo havo somo today who aro vory
much llko Demetrius. Thoy know that
tho restoration of bimetallism destroys
tho business In which they havo been en
gaged, but when they mako publlo
speeches thoy do not say that tho Demo
cratic party is wrong because it interferes
with their business. What do they say?
Thoy say, 'Great is sound monoy, great is
an honest dollar.'
"I say this platform was not written to
attract their vote. It was written becuuso
wo Want to destroy tho buslnoss in which
thoy aro engaged. Hut, my friends, If
those who havo mado a profit out of tho
go 'rnment'e financial policy array them
solves against tho Democratic party may
wo not expect thoso who bellovo that wo
nro right to como to our rescue and fill up
tho ranks that aro being doplotod by their
desertion?
"If wo must part company with those
who bolievoin agovernmontof syndicates,
by syndicates and for syndicates, may wo
not appeal with confidence to those who
bellovo that a government of tho peoplo,
by tho peoplo and for tho peoplo should not
perish from the earth? I havo not boon In
tho stato of Now York long. I havo not
met many of your people, and yet In the
short tlmo that I havo been hero I havo
metonough Republicans who say thoy nro
going to vote our ticket to mako up for
every promlnont Democrat that evor de
serted us, and wo welcomo tho coming
guests as wo speed thoso who are parting.
"Now our opponents aro all divided as
to tho policy which should bo pursued.
You tako tho gold standard Democrats.
Somo of them say thoy ought to como out
openly and indorso tho Republican candi
date, so us to lie suro to cloct him, and
others say no, that would bo dangerous,
because, unless wo haven candidate of our
own, why there would lie u great many
Democrats who would bo foolish enough
to vote tho Democratic ticket of tho com
mon people. They all want tho same ob
ject. They all want to elect a Republican
candidate because thoy believe that De
mocracy is better exemplified through Re
publicanism. (A voice: "Aro you a Dem
ocrat?") "I cull myself that, but you can call mo
any numo you please. You cannot swervo
mo from what I bolievo to bo good for tho
people. My friends, I wuut you to study
this money question for yoursolvos, and I
wunt you to understand that If bimetal
lism Is to be restored tho United States
must tako the lead."

PROUD OF HIS NATIYE STATE
Declares That the Forefathers of the South
Were FoollBh In Precipitating the Re
bellionHe Does Not Disguise Ills
Advice as to Bosses.
"When November conies, if your mine
boss, or railroad boss, or tho boss anywhero
else, or before then, if ho serves notice on
you that If you don't vote accenting to his
wishes, you will have to look fur work else
where, you will servo notice on him to go to
hell; aud, what is more, if necessary, send
him thero."
Tho above quotation is taken from a part of
tho address of United States Senator 11. I,.
Tillman, of South Carolina, and ex-Governor
of that state, who mndc an address at tho
corner of Main and I.ino streets on Satuiday
night before between two and three thousand
peoplo. It was the ex-Governor's first visit
to Shenandoah and tho Anthracite coal re
gion, ami if Ids future actions aro dependent
upon tho impression ho mado here, tho visit
will not be repeated. As a man of energy,
determination and aggrossivo spirit Tillman
fully met all expectations. To tho calm,
solier and ilelilicrato thinker tho South
Carolina Populist has passed like somo lurid
vision.
Ex-Govcmor Tillman arrived hero from
Pottsvillo Saturday evening on the Lehigh
Valley train that was duo here at (1:35, hut ar
rived half an hour late. A committee rep
resenting the Citizens' Silver Leaguo of town
aud tho Lithuanian band mot tho speaker at
tho depot with a carriago and escorted him to
tho Ferguson House. People crowded tho
6trcet along tlio route, but thero was no dem
onstration. Senator Tillman was dressed as
plain as any working man in Shenandoah.
Ho woro a suit of black broadcloth that had
as many wrinkles as an Egyptian mummy
and his straw liat was of a winter com line.
His apparel is amplo proof of tho ex-Governor's
statements that ho bus not becomo rich
in tho Senate. Ho is a man of strong
physique, but there is nothing striking about
him and ho would readily pass in a crowd as
an easy-going merchant of moderate means.
His faco is not such as to mako a favorable
impression. His thin nnd firmly set lips
witli tho corners drawn down givo his coun
tenance a cynical expression. In speech tho
Senator is overy inch a Southerner. "We'll
havo no mo' of this," "You peoplo lieah,"
"No sub," "Tho niggers," "llefn' Gawd,"
and like expressions betray him frequently.
Senator Tillman consumed only half an
hour's time in taking supper at tho hotel and
then ro-cntered his carriago and stinted for
tho place selected for tlio public meeting. A
platform of heavy timber had been elected
on tho north side of I.ino street, opposite tho
Rescuo Hook & Ijulder Company's house.
Seats on tlio platform wero occupied by
William Wilhclm, Esq., ox-Clerk of the
Courts John J. Toole, Justice M. J. Lawlor,
ex-Chief IUirgcss James Smith, John Parker,
editor of tho Mahanoy City Record; Harry
Isradigan, the Democratic candidate fur l'ro
thonotary; Constablo Matt. Giblon and Dr. P.
F. Iiurke.
Justico Lawlor opened tho meeting by
asking the election of a chairman to presido
at it. Lawyer Wilhclm was nominated and
elected by acclamation, notwithstanding a
shout by somo one in tlio crowd that "Ho is a
Republican." Upon being installed Mr.
Wilhelm answered by saying that tho time
liad arrived when everybody, whether Re
publican, Democrat or otherwise, should bo
an American. He added "All the corpora
tion attorneys in Pottsvillo who wero in con
trol of the Democratic party havo started out
for a gold standard. When thoso men leave
tho Democratic party it is timo for me to
join tho Democrats."
Senator Tillman was introduced to the
assemblage by Mr. Wilhelm and as the
speaker of tho evening lie was greeted by
just a suspicion of applause The speaker
started by saying ho was very tired, that ho
had traveled about 2,700 miles since last
.Monday morning and needed rest. Ho also
stated that on account of not being able to
read his notes in tho light furnished he would
ask tho indulgence of tho assemblage if his
remarks should be of a rambling character.
The Senator told how lie came to visit
Shenandoah. After ho had retired to Ids
hotel at Lebanon Friday night and was
getting ready to go to bed a porter rapped at
Ills door and handed him a telegraphic
message asking tho Sunator to como to
Schuylkill county. After ho got to sleep ho
was aroused to receive another telegram
asking him to mako speeches at Shenandoah,
Mahanoy City and Pottsvillo. Ho hud for
gotten that in tlio lobby of the Senate at
Washington last winter he promised Mr.
Wilhelm to como to Schuylkill to mako
silver speeches and as he did not recognize
the signature to the telegrams hodUmiKsed
tho matter and told the porter not to disturb
him again under any consideration. Satur
day morning ho started fur home, but while
on the deput platform at llurrisburg, waiting
fur the train to tako him to llaltiinine, en
route for his home, ho was handed another
telegram asking him to go to tho nearest
telephone and communicate with tho parties
telegraphing from Pottsvillo. Tho conversa
tion by telephone caused him to chango his
mind about going homo and ho took the lint
train liound for Pottsvillo.
Senator Tillman's speech was of a very
rambling character. Ho jumped rapidly
from one subject to another and frequently
interspersed short discussions witli suiue in
the assemblage that mado Interruptions. At
no tlmo during tho discourse did the speaker
arouse the assemblage to a demonstration
anything like enthusiasm. Tho part of his
remarks which is quoted abovo was given
with vehemanco and many gestures, but it
railed forth very littlo applause, and that was
drowned by laughter. After tho meeting
many who were in attendance said that the
Senator's advlco to tell tho bosses to go to
hell If they should Interfere with tho rights
of sulfrage of the men under them was all
right, but when he advised that they be sent
there, the lauguago appeared more in llama-
