innn McCarthy presided ever the mootIng -
Ing , and seats were occupied on the
stage by Governor Mickey , A. Galu-
Him , cnndlduto for secretary of state ,

Btngo.
The Auditorium waR well IHlecl with
an earnoHt , IntoroHtod audlonco , large
ly compoacd of men , although n few
ladles who keep up on political matters -
tors , were present. The Bhowor which
began to full shortly before 8 o'clock
accompanied by thunder and lightning
which Indicated n downpour , served to
keep many people nt homo. The over-
How meeting had boon cancelled late
in the afternoon by a message from
West Point , stating that both Speaker
Cannon and Congressman Watson
were about exhausted and they could
not undertake to hold two meetings.
The boxes that had been assigned to
people from Madison , Dattlo Crook ,
Pierce and Tlldon , were all lllled nnd
in some cases room had to bo made
for the people from those towns In
the body of the Auditorium. Osmond ,
Wlnsldo , Hosklns , Wayne , \\rakollold ,
Meadow Grove , Plalnvlow and Stauton
were all represented In the audience ,
but not as largely as had boon expect
ed. People living along the line of
the M. & O. supposed they had char
tered a train to bring them ever and
take them back , but a message from
"Wayne stated that the railroad com
pany had raised the price some $20
after the original amount had prac
tically boon secured and they refused
to stand the ralso , hence the scats re
served for them were not used.
II , II. Pbllpott , special representa
tive of the Omaha Boo. and L. C. Pet
ers , representing the Lincoln Star ,
who are making the tour of the state
with the party , said the mooting hero
last night was the best arranged of
any that had boon held thus far on
the trip. The decorations of the house
were particularly handsome and effec
tive , there was Just enough music by
the Moore orchestra to brighten up
the proceedings , nnd the preliminary
arrangements by the committee had
been so well made that there was not
a halt in the entire evening.
The party came in on the evening
tarin from West Point , whore a big
mooting was held yesterday afternoon.
Undo oJo and his associates arc trav
eling in a special car and they bad
their supper on the train so that they
were ready for business as soon as
they arrived. The car was brought
up town to the Main street crossing
of the Northwestern by a switch en

This afternoon the speaker will ad

Watson's Address.
In n brief ' ut very pointed short
speech , Hou John U. Hays , candi
date for congress In this district four
years ago , Introduced the present con
gressman and the congressman for
the next two years , Hon. J. J. McCar
thy , who was to preside ns the chair
man of the meeting.
Congressman McCarthy Introducec
Congressman J. E , Watson , of Indiana
one of the most eloquent speakers o
the house , with an apology for an >
delinquencies because of the fact Urn
since the party had ontereil Nebraska
he had made two speeches a day am
was necessarily more or less fatlgucc
by this strenuous experience. It do *
veloped later that Mr. Watson re
quired no apology , or if ho did th
audience would have taken a keen de
light in hearing him at his best. Th
"congressman's words were well take
however , and especially his referenc

thoBO Important. questions. AN each
party present ; ) ka argument the quos-
lion bocomo.i paramount an to what
the two part leu havj done to deserve
HIICCUHH at the pollH this full. For
answer to this question the republican
party appeals to the past and chal
lenges the democratic party to meet
It on these grounds , for "by their
frultti yo shall know them. " An or
ganization must stand or fall on Its
record. The republicans aio glad to
meet this tost. With a record of half
a century of achievement It. surveys
the past with rmtlsCactloU and faces
the future with confidence.
To IIx a high standard of cltl/on-
ship , to Incorporate lofty principles
In the laws are things that the repub
lican party ban dono. Us achieve
ments of forty-four year * has boon
shown In the beneficent results acciu-
Ing for the operation of Its policies.
The aprty lias always had the courage
to do right , it turns the search light
of truth upon past history with mi-
promo confidence In the ability of the
people to judge aright therefrom.
Beginning with Abraham Lincoln ,
who struck the manaolos and fetters
from the slaves , when the ( lag wont
down at Sumptor to ho raised again
at Appomatox , when the policy of
state sovereignty was plorcod with
half a million bayonets the country
has achieved wonderful results and
now there are forty-four states stretchIng -
Ing from the Atlantic to the Paclllc
under the dominion of one Hag.
After the war a hostile party de
manded the repudiation of the govern
ment debt , but Grant was there and
the men who had sprung to arms In
the defense of the ( lag were there
and this Important question was
settled forovor.
In 1870 the party proposed the re
sumption of speclo payment ; the
democrats said It could not ho dono.
The republicans promised that It
would be done , and it was done , so
noiselessly and Imperceptibly that
there was not a Hurry In the business
Interests of a great and growing coun
try.
try.In
In 1800 the democrats proposed to
reduce our country to the level of that
of China and of Mexico. The republi
cans faced the problem and rallied
around the gold standard , in the face
of seeming popular disapproval and
today the democratic party through
Its leader acknowledges that the right
thing was done at the right time. In
15)00 ) the democrats proiiosod to
shrink from the duties involved by
the taking of the Philippines from
Spain. Hut the republicans faced the
problem and maintained that the
American Hag should bo kept lloatlng
above those Islands until they had
worked out their own destiny.
Whenever and wherever the nation
al honor or the country's integrity
has been assailed there the republican
party has boon found to maintain a
high standard of honor. It has been
found every time facing the front to
ward duty. Not once is it recorded
that It has turned coward and sought
to evade responsibilities.
The results of forty-four years of re
publican rule Is shown In the wealth
of the country. When the party took
charge under a policy of free trade
and similar theories that the demo
cratic party Is urging as right now ,
the accumulated wealth of the country
was but ? 1G.OOO,000,000 , accumulated
during eight generations. When Lin
coln 'came Into power a change was
made and a protective tariff Inaugurat
ed , and In forty-four years the accu
mulated wealth has increased to
$100,000,000,000 , more than that shown
> y any other two nations of the
orld. Instead of sending < Sur gold
nil silver and bonds abroad , wo kept
hem at homo for the development of
lie country and the accomplishment
vas greater than that of England
vitb her thousand years of free trade
listory.
All of the progress of the country
Inco ISGO has been under republican
administrations. The democrats had
nit two short years In that time , but
hen there was no growth. The mon
ey has Increased , and every dollar of
t Is worth 100 cents. There were no
national banks , now there are 4,950 ,
with enlarged scope since a recent re-
mbllcan act , and they have $750,000-
000 in capital and millions In dopos-
ts. Then there was a revenue of
$189.000,000 ; now $1,095.000,000 , mak
ing it a billion dollar country. The
democrats wanted to dwarf it , and
made a start at it but will not bo giv
en another chance. In manufactures
it has risen to first place doing more
than England , Germany and Franco
combined , furnishing a market for the
American farmer. The tariff was de
nounced as robbery in 1892 , and the
democrats were given power to re
vise It. The result was that capital
grow timid ; mills and factories were
closed ; Coxey armies and soup houses
prevailed ; we bought from abroad
what wo liad been making at homo ,
and in a time of profound peace J2G2-
000,000 of bonds were Issued to pay
the t-xpcMiHoH of the government. The
Cleveland ndinlnlMtratlon cost moro In
the loss of wages and business , than
the civil war , Do wo want to try It
again ? 1'rlces were never HO low ,
and yet the pi'oplo wont hungry and
In rags ; no houses were built. Now
prices are high but no ono Is hungry ;
everyone Is well clothed ; wo are build
ing and growing , because people have
money for their needs and a llttlo to
lay aside.
They say now It Is necessary to de
stroy the tariff to kill the trusts ; with
the trusts all luminous enterprises
would bo destroyed ; trusts nourish In
froo-trado England ; many of the
trusts In this country are on products
that are not protected. The language
of I'rlnco Ulsmarck , the Iron chancel
lor of Germany , on protection was
quoted , and the prosperity of that
country since the adoption of n pro
tective policy was pointed out. They
complain that wo are selling cheaper
abroad than at homo. Figures show
that of the goods exported ono-thlr-
tleth of ono per cent are Hold cheap
er. This la done to got rid of shop
worn goods , to got a foothold In now
territory , and to dispose of a surplus
that the mills and factories may bo
kept running all the time instead of
but a portion of It. Parker admits
that the adoption of a revised tariff
caused uncertainty and depression un
der Cleveland ; ho says nothing can ho
done with It for four years until the
democrats got the house nnd the sen
ate , and ho declines a re-election , so
what's the use ? Everyone knows
whore Roosevelt stands , why exchange
certainty for doubt and uncertainty ?
In 180(1 ( , the democratic doctors ad
mitted that they had sawed off the
wrong log of Undo Sam ; what ailed
him was not the tariff but the money
question. They now claim wo are beIng -
Ing eaten up by the trusts. They had
the president for eight years and a
house and senate to support him a
portion of the time but they did noth
ing with the trust question. The re
publicans adopted an anti-trust law
and when It was attempted to
strengthen the law under McKlnloy
the republicans had not the necessary
two-thirds vote , the democrats voted
against the proposition and defeated
It.
Imperialism Is alleged as It was four
years ago. Then there were 05,000
soldiers In the Philippines , now but
10,000. The president was authorized
to reduce the army. If ho had desired
Imperialistic power would ho have
done It ? Yet ho reduced the army
from 100,000 men to 59,000 or ono sol
dier to every 2,100 people. Are you
not afraid of what ono soldier might
do ? Abraham Lincoln , Grant and Mc
Klnloy were charged with the same
ambition. It was a false charge
against them and It Is a false charge
against Theodore Iloosovolt.
The Parker telegram was quoted
and the speaker said ho was not going
to abuse him for it , but would permit
Mr. Hryan to do that and then read
extracts from the Commoner and from
Mr. Bryan's Chicago speech.
Mr. Watson closed with a plea for
the support of the republican con
gressmen of the state and particularly
for the support of Congressman Mc
Carthy. Iloosovolt Is to bo the next
president. Do not tlo his hands , give
him a republican congressman.
Speaker Cannon's Address.
Congressman McCarthy Introduced
Speaker Cannon as the man who ob
jected to the retirement and seclusion
that the vice presidency offers al
though ho was some sixty years
younger than Mr. Davis. Ho remarked
that everyone In the house 'loves Un
cle .loo" and those who meet him as
well.
well.Mr.
Mr. Cannon opened with some flat
tering references to the country he
had seen since entering Nebraska.
Ho spoke of the fertility of the Repub
lican , Platte and Elkhorn valleys and
said that he had never looked on a
land where there appeared to bo more
prosperous conditions , more contented
people or better crops. Ho counts the
crops as good in this section of the
state as In the famous black soil of
Illinois , whore corn Is also grown. Al
falfa that they do not have there is a
thriving crop hero.
Speaking of the democratic propo
sition to reduce the tariff that wo
might enter the markets of the world
Speaker Cannon said that ninety-two
parts of the products of the country
were consumed hero nt homo and
eight parts went abroad , but those
eight parts made the United States
the greatest exporting nnd selling na
tion of the world. Should wo sacri
fice the ninety-two parts to Increase
the eight parts ?
The republican party has preserved
the monetary standard of the country.
There have been magnificent increas
es , every dollar as good as gold , and
yet it is cheap. Money can be had at
four and one-half to flvo per cent on
farm loans , but the farmers nro pay
ing their mortgages. The prices of
lands have doubled in value. Hadn't
wo better leave well enough alone and
not chance Parker the mystery ? If
God docs not know htm bettor than
you or I did eighteen months ago , ho
Is lost for tlmo and eternity.
Parker's letter of acceptance , modi
fying his speech was compared to a
chum's experlonco with the then new
25-cont stamp in his boyhood days.
The stamp was a now thing then and
the fact that it would carry a letter to
his sweetheart impressed the young
fellow. Ho pasted it to the envelope ;
ho pounded It fast , then pinned it on ,
nnd finally wrote under it in pencil ,
"paid if the d n thing sticks. "
The democratic candidate speaks
for retrenchment In expenditures.
The greatest Increase has boon In
building n now navy , $2 now being
spent wbero $1 wan spent under Cleveland -
land , yet Parker dare not say that ho
will not build moro and greater war
ships. In Boston they deplore the In
creased expense , and yet during the
war with Spain the people there gath
ered up their valuables and carted
them away for fear of Spain , If It
had boon England , Franco or Germany
they would have had need to fear for
the safety of their property.
Roosevelt is condemned by Parker
because under the net of 1890 ho Is
sued an order of graduated pensions.
Under the same act Cleveland modi
fied Harrison's order and took 35,000
mon off the pension rolls. The presi
dents for olovcii years past have ad
justed the law to suit themselves and
no ono has questioned tholr right to
do It ; they have not charged execu
tive usurpation until Parker raised the
point. Roosevelt said nt the ago of
sixty-two n veteran was entitled to a
pension for ono half-disability ; nt six
ty-five $8 n month nnd nt the ago of
seventy should bo considered totally
disabled and recolvo $12 a month.
Will Parker do llko Cleveland ? Ho
desires to please the south from which
comes two-fifths of his voto. .In the
great commercial centers there nro
enemies of the pensioners. They do
not enlist for service under the flag ,
but they kick nnd Parker wants to
carry the great cities , and particularly
Now York and for this will sacrifice
the old soldiers.
Sneaker Cannon took un judco Par
kor's letter of acceptance and nccuset
the judge of garbling nnd inlsroprc
sentlng President McKlnloy's post
lion on reciprocity. He read the fol
lowing sentence from Judge Parker's
letter attributed to McKlnloy's Duffa
lo speech : "Wo must make sensible
trade arrangements If wo shall extend
tend the outlines for our Increasing
surplus. "
Mr. Cannon said that this was a
perversion of what McKlnloy did say ,
and he read from the Buffalo speed
the following : "By sensible trade nr
rangeinents which will not intorrup
our homo production wo shall extend
the outlines for our increasing sur
plus. " Judge Parker had deliberate
ly cut out the protection point in Me
Klnloy's declaration nnd Mr. Cannon
expressed the hope that New Yorl
had no moro great jurists who would
deliberately pervert the language of
a dead man to misrepresent what ho
had said when living. President Mc
Klnloy's last speech had been , llko
his other great speeches , a protection
speech , and the republican party en
dorsed his nosltlon In favor of reci
procity In non-compollng products.
Judge Parker whoso party favored
eclproclty with Canada in competing
iroducts had apparently sought to
inko It appear that the dead McKln-
oy favored that kind of reciprocity.
Ir , Cannon said It reminded htm of
ho debate between the Infldol nnd the
Id Methodist circuit rider where the
nfldel offered to prove by the Bible
hat there ts no God. Ho turned to
ho old testament nnd with his thumb
> vor n part of the page read : "Thoro
s no God. " The old circuit rider 1m-
nedlatoly denounced him ns a fraud ,
a cheat and n liar , ns he pushed away
ho thumb nnd read : "Tho fool In his
icart hath said there is no God. " Mr.
Cannon snld the democrats had gath
ered into tholr saint's calendar Lin
coln , Grant , Gnrflcld and McKlnloy ,
nit Judge Parker had garbled Me-
( Inlcy's last speech to tnako the
lead president say what ho never had
said in life. McKlnloy could not come
mck to resent the lie put against his
mine but Speaker Cannon declared
.hat the people would.
Speaker Cannon , in closing , paid n
lattcrlng tribute to Nebraska's delega
tion In congress , stating that it was
mo of the strongest in the house nnd
said that every district .should this
year bo represented by a republican.
Ho found Burkett a good man for the
committee on appropriations , and in
McCarthy ho found a level-headed man
who had struggled upward from a
teacher and a lawyer , and gave him
a place on that Important committee ,
public lands. Ho desired that he
should bo returned this year. The dis
trict should bo just to itself and sup
port the president.
A rousing demonstration greeted
Mr. Cannon when first Introduced , and
when ho closed there was no diminu
tion In the expression of the audi
ence and many Improved the oppor
tunity for grasping the hand of "Un
do JOG" and expressing their approval
of his remarks and his position on the
questions of the day.
