Tho Republican Mooting.
Judge M. P. Klnkaid, republican
nominee for congress, and J. P.
Mailley, "the fighting chaplain" of
the First Nebraska, addressed a
republican meeting at the court
Iioubc Wednesday evening. The
room, which had been supplied with
a large number of extra chairs, was
filled with an enthusiastic audience..
Being introduced to the audience
Judge Kinkntd said he would speak
but a few words, as the meeting
was called to hear Chaplain Mailley
and not Kinkaid. He touched
briefly on the trust question and
cited the fact that it was the repub
lican party which had enacted the
only trust law on the statutes. He
spoke ot the changed conditions of
the industrial world since the
advent of a republican administra
tion. Prior to three years ago the
labor supply was far beyond the
demand, today the demand for
labor is greater than the supply.
The Judge placed himself on record
as a firm supporter of the president
on the Philipine question; but the
authority to settle that question
rests entirely with the people. The
ratification of the treaty with Spain
had imposed upon the administra
tion the duty of doing all that has
been done or that it is trying to do.
Chaplain Mailley being intro
duced to the audience, was received
with vociferous applause, and for
an hour and a half held the closest
attention of the audience, and his
speech was loudly applauded
throughout. At the outset he
stated that he was not a politician;
he had come to tell a simple story
of what he had seen in the Phil lp-
pmes. His first produced a couple
of circulars which had been dis
tributed by the fusiouists, which
quoted a letter he had written to
Colonel Stark. In replying to the
reference in the letter to Colonel
Stotseuberg, . the Chaplain said
that he with many other members
of the regiment had misunderstood
the character of Stotsenbcrg, but
that before the Philippine war had
been in progress twenty-four hours
they had learned that they had been
mistaken in the man, and there
came a revulsion of feeling; dislikes
gave way to admiration and love
for the brave Colonel.
He then took up the matter of his
change of opinion regarding our
policy in the Philippines from that
held when he wrote the letter to
Stark. He read part of a letter
which he had written to the New
York Independent published long
after he had written the Stark
letter, showing his change of
opinion and why he had changed
his mind. In that letter to the
Independent he said "we fought the
1 ihpinos because we had to; it was
their hide or our hide. Whatever
may be our future policy in the
Philippines, first of all these people
must be conquered." What he had
written to the Independent was his
opinion when he was ten thousand
miles away from politicians and he
thought it effectually disproved the
charge that he had changed his
views because of any arrangement
with the republican state central
committee. When he arrived at
SanFranciscoon his way home with
the regiment lie was confronted by
the alternative of standing by his
affiliations for the populist party or
being true to his convictions which
were arrived at when in the Philip
pines. He cho&e the latter, and to
day instead of fighting the flag and
administration he is carrying out
his convictions of riirlit in tlio
matter.
Then followed a descriptive talk
of the experience of the Frst Ne
braska in the Philippines and of
his experiences, and gave much in
formation on the war that was new
to the audience. He interpolated
his remarks with a number of hot
shots at the anti-expansionists and
the fusion party in Nebraska, and
these shots hit the mark every
time.
The following are among some of
the statements made by the Chap,
lain:
The populists are in the hands of
the most corrupt ring of leaders
Nebraska ever saw.
Three years ago 1 was grouchy,
pessimistic and sour, and my
liver was out of order but a year in
the Philippines set it all right.
When I got back to Frisco and
saw the evidences of prosperity in
the country I asked, "How about
it?" A democratic editor told me it
was "Luck," and I came back with
so exalted an idea of the country
that I have no further reason for
calamity howling.
I am for President McKinleyas
long as he has a war on his hands.
Bryan made the mistake of his
life in opposing the administration
in time of war.
The pioneer of civilization is the
soldier. He has carried civilization
over tltc world.
I am glad that in the critical
hour we did not have a demagogue
in the presidential chair, but a
patriotic president and statesman.
i.ne rinpinos arc like some
people at home, they are in the
handB of unscrupulous leaders.
Responsibility for blood shed in
the Philippines is not at the door
of the republican administration
but at the door of the congressmen
and senators who hindered the rat
ification of the treaty.
The solution in the Philippines
is to lay upon the natives a strong
iusistmcnt goverment. We are
there and we have got to stay
until those people are saved and
united politically.
