The republicans made their great effort of the campaign last evening in honor of Shelby M. Cnllom. Wise ly realizing how little of an attrac tion and how ineffective as a speaker the senator is, the congressional com mittee had notified the slate central committee to give Kock Island ail the additional light possible and it proved 4 . a v-v ' 14 3..

The Theatre. The interior of the house was neatly and artistically decorated in honor of the occasion. On the left of the stage was a bronze bust of Lin coln, while on the right was a com panion one of Douglas. Along the front of the stage interwoven with Hags and bunting were portraits of .ineoln.

Then he stopied for applause. He got it, and then as a fitting pre amble to the introduction of the star of the evening, he took occasion to annouce a railroad puff and forth with to present the senator. Mr. Cullom's mind was evidently agitat ed. He began by referring to The Altars1 appellation, Chilly Cullom,'" and said he was going to make it hot for the party the paper represented. and that there would he plenty of chillv democrats two years hence. Notwithstanding the bitterness with which these words were spoken and the ru filed condition of the speaker. they had the effect of amusing the audience and a shout of laughter was inconsiderately given. The speaker deprecated the fact that he was to be restricted in his remarks, owing to the presence upon the platform of other distinguished speakers, each of whom he introduced to the audience in a very graceful manner. Then he launched upon the discussion of his topic, the tariff. The people of the country today were in much the same condition that our colonial fathers were 150 years ago. In those days the founders of the republic were en gaged in establishing and building up industries such as we now have scattered over the land, aud they were oppressed by the mother coun try until the foundation of the na tional government on a protective basis resulted. The establishment of customs duties for the raising of rev enne for carrying on the government and the encouragement of American manufactories was one of the hrst things done; so that a protective tariff was established at the very outset of our national existence. Yet it remained, he said, with at tempted sarcasm, for modern democ racy to declare that a protective tar iff was an unconstitutional act. lie then declared the history of the country since had been good times. and prosperity under a protective tariff and under a low tariff, distress, poverty and hard times. In fact, uuder the protective tariff law, our industries bad prospered and gone forward. He referred t the lirst election of President Cleveland in 1885, and when with a democratic majority in the house the people were apprehensive of the effect of the possible introduction of a low tariff law, but "we, the senate," he said. 'would not allow such acts," and hence nothing came of any -such threatened enactment. Then coming down to the McKinley law, he made a brief apology for it, stating that in it there were some things too high and some too low, yet it re sulted in continued advancement and -A r 1 averred, gave promise of being the most prosperous in the country's his tory, but when it was discovered that the democratic nartr had not only the presidency and the house, but the senate, and there was a pros pect oi a cnange in ine tariff system, business stagnation and uncertainty followed and then depression. The factories, mills and mines closed, in dustry was crippled, and the work ing people were turned out upon the streets to beg. Refers to MarVeach. "My old friend, MacVcagh, who imagines he is running for the senate this year," said the speaker, "started out to make an aggressive campaign. Well, he asked me a few questions and I answered them the liest I could, and 1 answered themto his satisfac tion I guess, as 1 have not heard any thing from him siucc." Then he at tacked Mr. MacVeagh and Vice Pres ident Stevenson jointly for voicing the sentiment that the industrial de pressions were due to republican misrule, and ridiculed the idea. He held that the democrat party was more interested in the markets of the world than in the market of the United States, the best in the world, not only for ourselves, but for foreign countries, as 'they are all lighting like the divil' to get in." After floundering around on this subject, he said that Mr. MacVeagh thought free trade meant good wages. "Why, MacVeagh thinks he is a scholar in politics," said the speaker; "says he is; perhaps he is, but he will have to demonstrate it before the people will believe it." Then he left Mr. Mac Veagh go again, and returned to his tariff discussion. 'The theory seems to be," said he, "that because a dnty was imposed iion a certain article it was added to the commodity as itgocs upon the market." ' The theory was not so at all and was now exploded. The Dixon 'Milk' Mill. "Why, while up at Dixon the other day," said the senator, enthusing for the first time, "I saw an illustration of the fostering effect of the protect ive tariff. Under its encouragement a 'milk' factory was brought to this country and located near Dixon, and it is flourishing atd prospering. This is an institution, this 'milk.' fac tory, that we would not have had but for the practical operation of our protective doctrine. Here he made the announcement that he was afraid he was going to talk too long so he would go on. He then took up the extra session of congress in lsg;5, to re peal the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law, and he said that while he never regarded the clause as seri ously injurious, to the country, he nevertheless, voU-d for it, as did other republicans in the senate, in order to "clear the dec'.; for Cleveland and the democratic party, just to see what they womd do. He attempted a sarcastic allusion to the president for not having presented a message asking the repeal of the protective tariff law at that extra session, which he did not, and "so we all went home." J he democratic party was incapa ble of running the government, be cause there was not a unanimity sen' timcnt on the vsrious items of the tariff bill, and in view of the fact that there certain senators, who saw tit to seek to have certain articles placed upon the dutiable list, the whole law was faulty. He attacked the party's policy in placing coal, iron, sugar, barbed wire, rice, etc.. under the protection schedule, al hided to the democratic conference as a justice of the peace court, and paid his compliments to Arkansas. because Senator Jones hails from that state, by saying that all the in dustries in the state would not till a blacksmith shop. Attacks Chalrniau Wilson. He showed how far he could exag gerate matters bv accusiugChairman uson, of the wavs and means com mittee of the house, of going to Kn land on a British ship with a British flag at the masthead, to report on what was goiag on in the United States. He declared that Mr Wilson had gone across the seas to be tray the country to the crowned heads in conclusion, the speaker 6prung his usual chestnuts about the substi tution of wild-cat currency hv the democrats for the present standard. about the democrats reducing the appropriations of congress $29,000, uuu ny taking it from the pensions. and about how he wanted such laws as would be for the prosperity of the working men and the best interests of the entire country. His tribute to Douglas, Grant, Logan, Lincoln Sheridan and Garfield was the only inspiring portion of his entire dis cussion. Other Speakers. Following the senator. Gen. Post was introduced, but he merely said he was at home and preferred to give way to the . "strangers." He hoped the people would favor him with their sugraffes and make him thei legal representative iu congress Nov. 6. Col. Isaac Clements followed. He had The Akqcs in his hand and with it as a text he preached in a rapid strain that would put a Salvation army captain to route, although hi anecdotes were such as were not cai culated to inspire those inclined to piety. Mrs. Fannie McCartney-Worthing' ton, whose home is in Sterling, bu who is engaged in the practice of law in Chicago, was introduced. She spoke as the representative of the women's republican clubcf Illinois. and explained that she had never made a suffrage speech, had never sought the ballot, but it had come to her unsolicited, that .the women of Illinois had been privileged by the legislature to vote for university offered them without thpir request) or consent; there was butTJone thing to do on election day. and that to vote the straight republican ticket. She spoke with much earnestness and eloquence. Kx-Cougressraan Uenjamin Butter- worth, of Ohio, made the concluding speech, and in dramatic eloquence it made up lor what it lacked in logical force. The management did wisely in re serving the speeches of Mrs. Worth ington and Mr. linltcrworth to the ast, and in that 'way holding the audience thrnngh curiosity, as Chair man Sweeney said, "we "have saved the best of the wine for the last of the feast," for had Shelby or Post talked after, the others, either would have effectually cleared the hall.
