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

There ia no need for thia railroad
Th6ro are plenty of railroads frou
Chicago to Now York.
WolMho ponono who built this roai

should the people ba tnxad to pay

necessary road ? laitunronionablothul
the people shall protect thnmsi'lves
ngainat greedy construction companion
and rapacious monopolies ? 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
. " do that I claim the right to'appear
n arfy locality and say what may bo
necoBeary in aolf-dufonau. My memory

SIX YEARS AOO.
' . remember that it wan the first time

ul city. I thought it was certainly a
moat beautiful city and I have not
changad my mind. Many of you will
no doubt remember what happened at

afterwards , and the warfare which
commenced Hien that haa never atop-
icd atnco and probably never will. I
It-ro just put jntvritlng what I bvt.

In tlio spirit of fair play no apology

For what ronKon I know not a

Having no newspaper organ
hrough which to do it , I must do it
mraonally. Remember theao attacks

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.
The final result waa a modification of

the legacies of the democratic party.
Finally the republican party corrected

and helped tn accomplish the reform.

I introduced a bill with the view of

I also voted tgninst the appointment

believing that the tnrill' needed modi

waa the duty of congress to do this
without the interposition of a commis
sion which would entail oxponaoa and

I also introduced and spoke against

OAULK MONOPOLY ,
Toward the end of the session came
up the senate bill to incorporate
