Prominentrepublii ails from nil over Ihe^country were hidden to the feast and a^MMbV were present.

Among others^sending letters of regret were Senator^Sherman, Governor McKinlcy, Hon.^( haiiticey M. DpsVi J. H Fussot'. Hon.^Thomas 11. Heed, to ncral Alger.^Hon. Heui-y ^ alsii l/n!||P and Hon.^Theo Koosevelt. The principe! address^of welcome was by Senator Sclby M. C'ill-^loni. who ,'iiiuoiiuced himself as a candi-^dale for the presidency of the I niterl^States, He icstMiiidcd lo the toast,^^Abraham Lincoln.'' After sketching ti e^life of the illustrious president and re^^lating many personal reminiscences. Sen^^ator i ill' in proceeded to contrast the^iccortls of the republican and democratic^parties. The former he characteriicd as^a party of progression ; the latter, one of^negation.
Continuing,he said : ^ 'IWin't' h is always^^MW the burden of the democratic song^and is now at this moment, and its large^majority in the house of represent,-!!i\e^^is chorusing 'don't.' Mills, the great. Is^rct^ortfd as saying to Crisp, 'don't,' and^Cleveland and the mugwumps are^shouting at him, 'don't,' and, stand^^ing by himself, solitary and alone, u|**u^the high eminence of objection, HolmM is^crying 'don't.' at every |^erson and every^^thing. Cciitlcmcii, while Lincoln hied,^the democratic parly emonrrassed him^continually with Ms 'doni.-.' It fusiladcd^him in his dmics al every step of his illus^^trious career, and I'm sun1 were he among^us now . v enerable in his slth year, upon^every suggestion made by him, be would^be met v. uh democratic 'dou'ls.* lint if he^were alive, as he certainly is in spirit, he^would regard as little as we do the opposi^^tion of this oi-gnuir.cd objection to every^^thing progressive, and would urge us to^hold fast to the doctrine of protect ten to^American institution-., nnshli.d by a^policy of rcctpns-ity. He would^bid us also, ] am sure, to hold fast to the^doctrine of honest money lor honest peo-^pie, applied in statesmanship, so as to^living alsiui at all r ally da.v the rcestals^lisliment of silver in its former dignity as^a money metal, the eiptal of gold in coin^^age and legal tender. He would adv let us^nho. I believe, that it is the duty of the^republican party locotit iuue to insist 11 p*m.^and if need Is1, compel in some way. a^general recognition of the equality of all^l iti/ensIs-fore the law.

It was only the^last and crowning crime of a ling scries^that the ilcmis-nttic state organiza^^tion had committed, and he tisik it that^the meeting meant the people were not^going meiely to repudiate the convention^now culled, but to give notice that they^would visit with political death the organ^^ization that dai*cs thus to forge the names^of New York democracy.

Here is nil attempt of a great^iuono|M^ly to control the entire anthracite^coal output of the state, in fact, except the^small part controlled by the Pcuusylvania^railway. Mr. Coasatt did not think the^projectors of the combination could have^forgotten the result of the litiga^^tion growing out of the proposed^purchase by the Pennsylvania^company of the South Pennsylvania mail^a few years ago.
