Fremont presented quite an ani mated appearance Saturday afternoon. Hand bills , announcing a republican rnasa mooting , to bo addressed by Sen * ntor Oharlon H. Van Wycl : , Gen. A. H. Connor and Hon. M. K. Turner , wore freely circulated in the atreota , and , despite the stormy weather , a largo number of people , principally farmers , had crnthersd in the city to take part in the opening of the con gressional campaign. Up till noon bats were freely made that Gen. Vnn "Wjck would disappoint his friends , but when the train from the west reached the station all doubt waa dis pelled by thp appearance of Van Wyck , Connor and Turner. Gen. Van Wyck had been at Grand Island the previous day to deliver the address for the Ball county fair , and hence his unexpected arrival from that quarter. But oven after it became known thai the general was on hand thera wca a good deal of speculation as to what course ho would pursue. Thia state of uncertainty was considerably heightened on the arrival of the west bound train from Omaha , with Sena'- tor Sannders , United States District Attorney Ihmljertoon and Surveyor General Smith , three orator states men who came at the inatanco of tho" republican state central committee By 4 p. m. , however , another hand bill put in an appearance that the regular republicans would hold forth at the the court , hout > o at 8 p. m. , to bo ad- dreaaod by Senator Saundora tmd Tilr. LimbertBon , Before dark a tremendous deus bon fito waa blazing in front of the courthouse rcg.irdleea'if expense and a bond of nmiic that had been imported from Bella Creek by tele- araph marched through the atroeta to draw the croard , and stationed thorn- solves in front of the court honao with an audience for the moat part composed of email boys. All these attractions did not seem to draw , be cause everybody waa on tip too to hear what General Van Wyck had to say. The scene in front of the opera house before the doors wcro open waa quite inciting. An immense crowd of people had gathered there pa tiently waiting admission. A huge bon fire waa also blazing and tho'Fro- mont band waa playing aomo of it * most inspiriting airs. Within a few minutes after the doora were open nearly every seat wr.a taken and the gallery was woU , filled. The crowd kapt on incraaaing until the houao wan packed. Shortly before 8pm. Dr. L. J. Abbott , who preaided announced the following named vice presidents , who took their seats on stage : Henry Boebo , of Fremont ; Hmiry Sprick , Fontenelle ; A. M. Spooucr , of Hooper ; George P. D.wis , of Eyeret ; William Cook , of Belle Crook ; It. B. Schneider , of Maple ; D , Orowoll , of Fremont ; W. D. Jlolbrook , of Kverot , Rober Hewitt , of Fremont ; R. Whit- ford , if Bellu Creek ; Scott Grimes , of Map'i ; James Harvey , of Webster ; Pfcter Saapuro , nf Logan ; James Kil- burn , of Fremont ; W. H. Holley , of EiKborn ; S. Sarrcnaon , of Frumont ; Mathew Cotteroll , of North Bend , and V. H. Hamilton , of Fremont. Dr. Abbott then came forward and in a very neat speech , which elicited much applause , introduced Hon. M. K. Turner , the next congressman fron the third district. Mr. Turner delitered an earnest and forcible ad- dreet , lasting seine foity minutes. 'Mr. lurnor was very frequently ap- plaudei and his speech was well re ceived. The full text of his speech will ftppor in our next issue , Gen. Ojjnor was then called , and enterlainetltho audiencefor , over half an hour wjtl Ono of the most powerful - ful anti-mondoiy speeches that have ever been deliW In the state. Ow- ing to limited space wo regret tn b ( cmpollcd to defer publication of thii speech until another iiauo Senator C. II. Van Wyck a coiulec the platform and said - Mn PKFSIDINT : ANI > GnsriKMEx : It affords mo great pleatmro to be will : you this evening , nnd I will not occU' ' py very much of your time in makinp what obsorvatione I dcsiro to make , I did not know when I came into the city whether I hnd mode r. mistake 61 not. Possibly thia idea waa got intc my head on acouut of some things 1 , bd soeu in thn press and a notice J saw laying ou the street corner when ] came into the city , which was to the oiFect that there was n rcjulnr republi can mooting somowhora ulso. I did 'not know whether I had made n'niis- ttxko nni qot into the wrong pew. [ Laughter ] . But when I &aw our dis- linguUhcd friend Dr. Abbott and ether of our old friendn who hnd always bon staunch republicans I noncludpd that I had got into the right pulpit , and that ronublicans had come hero to worship and proclaim their faith , \Vn all know what republicanism is and I prpBUme thrtt tinny of the men who tie in this hall to-night have boon re public ws for twenty ilvo years. They Hot out as republicans when re- uublicftnism had to battle with ono of the greatest monsters and the greatest monopoly that ever cursed the world , and wtion thcae men became rilAHTnU UEMIir.HS they had to firht ; for the principles of republicanism. They hrvvo been lifelong long mombera of that party , and I apprehend that these men will not easily forgot the lessons they wcro taught m those early struggles. Some of these men have crown old in the party , and their hair hsn turned from raven black to white ua snow , but they are proud of tint party , and can only show their allegiance to the party which haa done so muck for mankind by standing upon the prin ciples iu our uay , and so far ai wo are concerned tlioro cin bo no question as to "our" position. There can be no ex ception taken to what our * friends have said to-night. I would like to know why any exception has bon taken. There were men , you remem ber , who undertook to denounce the PRINCIPLES OP llErUULIOANI.su in the early times and all sorts of ophitets TToro applied to republicans. They were called negro worshippers , abolitionists and final.ic. , but they wont straight on in the path they had marked out. And ao , my frienda , there ia no rest in tbio world. No matter how good the party is , there is always aomothing for ovcry party to work on. You recollect when they were agitating about finance there was i great discussion about the Jogal tender greenbacks , which helped t uavo the country , aid men began to talk about the rag baby. Then they said the people had too much money , und silver must bo abolished. Da you romonijor thaU congress "paisa/ an act to atrike silver out of the Hat of , the currency of the country that Wall street speculators might be made wealthy by gold. Then what a storm waa created when certain men struck against theao mini , and those who struck were called silver luuatiop. THE I'EOPLB KO.HK UP and they were heard upon this mat ter. Whenever any question which interests the people vitally is agi tated and when it assumoa the char acter of u monopoly and arrays itself against the material welfare of the citizens it , has boon regulated by law. It waa so with the grist mill and the turnpike. Go back and you will find that the earliest governments havu always had to have their usury lawa and no ono dare take a farthing beyond the legal rate. You know nearly every state in the union has its usury lawa. In our own atato we have reduced it from twlvo to ton per cent and iu Now York it has been reduced from Hovon to nix per cent. Every legis lature controls this bccauio money necessarily concentrates itself , and the legislature says that against auch power and such encroachments the manses of the pcoplu should bo protected. There was not only one , but 11 AMY HHYIXHIKH , and you remember the law Btopped in when that avaricious wretch wanted * hiH pound of flesh. There are many now who would take a pound of flesh , When the debtor waa unable to pay , Shylock exacts the fulfillment of the contract , saying "it was denominated ao in thu bond , " Bscauso it waa denom inated ho would take a knife and cut a pound of flesh juit the aamo us men would do to day unless they were re trained by law. They would take a pound of flesh unless a Daniel cmo to judgment. Well , the judge told Shylock while the bond gave him a pound of ileah it gavu him not a drop of blood , and all wo aik now ia that interposition of law should come In and protect men. No ono pretends that wo have the right to take away any in a'a property , no matter by what means ho m y liuvj acquired it. These usury laws are more arbitrary than any law regulating tha powers of a corporate monopoly. They do not merely affect thu banker but they reach thu individual citizen , and thu fai uer who has saved up hi ] hun dred / dollars cannot charge more \ than the regular interest without incurring the penalty But hero ia ono man owning qno hun dred millions actually owning more than all the banking capital of Now York. What a fortunate thing it ia that providence deals better with ua than we deal with oursolvea. The millionviro may evade his taxes but ho cannot escape death. It waa rumored a little while ago that Jay Gould was going to take a trip around the world. After ho gets around the world and takes a look at it , if ho likes it ho ia going to buy it. [ laugh- tbr. ] If the queation ia propounded , how this thing can bo that one man who doei ecaroely any labor can amun ono hundred millions in a lifetime w answer there is BOM.VntlKO wllOJKl. W0 know that. Will llicso t.iot who r.iitagonizo us tell ua what tin wrong is and tell us the remedy , prcsumo every railroad and every mm who owna n railroad owns four dillar. for every one dollar invested.

All thia haa already been fully discussed. Gan. Connor Imu handled that iasuo with masterly ability. What you want to knovr is what courzo you should pursue to KEMKDY rX1ST1NO A11USKS. It io for you to BCD that you elect men who represent your sentiment nnd your principles. Wo have boon en gaged in this sort of warfavo from year to year mid I prcauuiti every mau in this nudioncu knows thia alrugglo has existed f&r yearn. Men have boon struggling for their individual tighta ns well as for their individual freedom. It in strange that it should bo DO but that ia the history of the world. Thcio has always been this struggle againnt oppression , struggle agatnat thu money oy ud power. Out of republicanism waa born freedom for the colored man and thp white. If you trnco history you will find the aamo otrug lo was iiver going on. It ii the atruggle of the human family for the protection of their righta. Now , my friends , I do not know that it ia necessary that I should make any apology for addressing you as republicana , Thoio is , as I ntn aware , and yon uio nil aware , a sort of family feud among the party , and while possibly not in good taato , I feel tmy duty to Bay something about cor- aiii gentlemen who aought to call in question my official conduct and make certain Ktncture.i on me. I recog nize the right of the constituency I represent to call in question the no- ions of their representative. Whilu .

To that the committee assented. How SMALL AMI CONTEM1TIUL3 to steal what belong ! to one so that you may unjustly bedeck another in stolen plumage.

I also inaugurated the inquiry into many alleged frauds in government surveys in'vhat la known ua the spec ial deyojit syatom , whereby two mil lion dollars was expanded in eighteen montha , onu half of which was profita.

This was one of the legacies of the democratic party. Finally the republican party corrected the wrong , and Nebraska inaugurated and helped tn accomplish the reform. Senator Saundura introduceda _ bill to establish a now land ofiico in the northweat. I did ono for the south west in the Republican valley.

TAXINII UA1LUOAD LANDS. I introduced a bill with the view of taxing railroad lands not patented , and hope for favorable notion next winter. [ Applause ] , I also voted tgninst the appointment of the TAUIBr OOMUIHHION , believing that the tnrill' needed modi fication and reduction , and that it waa the duty of congress to do this without the interposition of a commis sion which would entail oxponaoa and bo productlvu of no beneficial results. I also introduced and spoke against J'OUTKUL AbSKSStlCNTH , believing , as proposed , it waa an ex tortion and blackmailing on govern ment employes , many of whom could not afford to pay the sums levied , IMFOHTANT OMI3HIONH. I omitted to give Judge Valentine credit for a speech in the previous congress in favor of the star ruuto aor- vice , also for appearing as witness for the defendants in the star route trials. I felt it my duty to vote early and of ton against the river and harbor bill , [ applause ] while Judge Valentine con sidered it his duty to vote for that measure.
