J- Geib and others- six miNrmun MHN TIIH itiei'un- MOAN CAMI'AKIN -TUB I'UO- IN KUI.f.. One of the most important political campaigns In tho history of United States is now opening, nnd In a few short months the voters will bo called upon to decide whether the party that baa done all in its power to destroy the Union shall bo continued in power, or whether the Republican party -the party that has made the country what it is, shall be again put in charge of the government; whether the party that is in favor of protection to American labor and American Institutions shall triumph, or the party of free trade and labor shall continue in the control of tho government. These are tho questions which tho American people will soon be called upon to decide, and the contest for supremacy will bit between these two parties. Some may throw their votes away on tho Prohibition or Anti-monopoly candidates, but the real battle Is between the Republican and Democratic parties. Which you in favor of? Will you stick to tlie party of Lincoln, Howard, Grant, Garllold and Morton, or will you cast, your votes for the party of Jeff.

Davis, Liitnar, Garland and rover Cleveland The Republicans of Freoport fully realize tho importance of this campaign, Tho actions of rover Cleveland since he has been in tho White House, makes them fully realize tho danger our country is in, and whither it is drifting, and they are determined that the woat ouco held by Lincoln, Grant and Gar- (iold shall not bo held for four years more by rover Cleveland, if their earnest work can prevent it. In order to accomplish anything in politics a party must bo harmonious and united. This fact the Republicans of Froeport fully realize, and they are united and ready for the fray. Their object now is to organize and present a solid front to the Democrats of Stophenson County. With this end in view a meeting was called for Friday night at Wilcoxon Opera House, and to a stranger who might have entered that hall last evening lie would never have imagined that that intelligent and well dressed audience of ladies and gentlemen had assembled to attend a political meeting.

It was indeed a representative audience. All our business industries and factories aifd churches were represented. The Opera House was crowded to its utmost capacity, and many hud to stand. Tho meeting was opened with a selection by the celebrated banjo (inarletto, composed of Messrs. Allington, Graham, Sochrist and Hineline.

Mayor Burgman then called the meeting to order. On the stage were the following well known Republicans. Hon. II. C.

Hur- chard, Dr. F. W. llance, Circuit Clerk S. Browstor, Sheriff B.

F. Timms, Hon. L. L. Munn, Captain W.

(J. Barnes, Dr. B. Buckley, lion. I).

C. Stover, Prof. A. A. Crary, P.

.1. Gcib, J. M. Bailey, and others. Mayor Bergman stated that tho object of the meeting was to organize a Republican Campaign Club.

On motion of lion. R. II. Wiles, Mayor Bergman was elected chairman pro and on motion of Dr. Buckley, Wm.

A. Schwarzewas elected Secretary A. D. Wright. Stephensou St.

A Stevens Point paper, has tho tplJowing to say in regard to II. J. Greenfield who formerly resided in and who has been very sick at his home in Stevens Point: Conductor II. J. (treehlleld, who has been dangerously ill for several weeks, we are pleased to learn, is now in a railway of recovery.

Atone time during his illness tho company sent a special tram from Oshkosh to bring Russell and Burgess that city to consult with Drs. Gregory and Trimble who had the case in charge. Dr Ronnsville of Chicago was also called in consultation. Mr. Greenfield's principal danger was from pneumonia which was no doubt aggravated by the injuries he has received in different railroad accidents.

On taking the chair Mayor Bergman made a few appropriate remarks. Ho does not pretend to be orator. His life has been a busy he has not had much time to devote to elocution. lie came here a poor boy. Ho possessed plenty of pluck, onegy ami good sense, and he is to-day one of our most pros- porous and public spirited citizens.

Like many other Germans, all his prosperity has been achieved under a Republican administration of government and it is his earnest desire that the Republican party be again restored to power. He is in favor of protection. He said that the Democratic party wanted slavery and the Republican party crushed slavery out of existence, and now tho Democrats were glad of it. The Democrats now wanted free trade ami the Hepublicans want protection. The Republicans will triumph and free trade will be crushed out like slavery was, and the Democrats will some day be glad of that, too.

Ho was there as a Republican because he believed in the Republican party, and was willing to help organize a Republican club, and he thought it the duty of all to help the Republican party in its noble object. He referred to the pauper labor in Germany, and stated that wo did not want any of it in the United Stales. While the banjo quartette rendered another selection tho committee appointed for that work passed through the audience and got many signers to the Republican Club. Tho constitution of the club was then read by P. ,1.

Geib, and was unanimously adopted, on motion of Col. Buck. It is as follows: CONST! I'UT ION of the Republican Club, of Freoport, Illinois: AUTU'UC 1 NAM1C AND Oli.UClT. The name of this organization shall be Republican Club of Freeport, Illinois. Sir.

II. Seeley and John Black, vtith Miss Lottie Wright as accompanist, t.ieu delightod the audience by singing that ever-popular song, "Marching Through Georgia." The applause was loud and long, and the club responded by singing another selection. Mayor Bergman then announced that tho next business before tho meeting was the election of permanent officers of the club. On motion of Hon. L.

M. Devore, Dexter A. Knowlton was unanimously elected president of the club, tlio result of tho vote being greeted wilb great applause. On motion of Dr. B.

Dovorc, W. A. Schwarze was elected Secretary. On motion of Dr. Buckley, W.

Wiles, Mr. L. M. Devore and Col. Bucks were appointed a committee to escort Mr.

Knowlton to the chair. Upon reaching the stage, and taking tho chair, he said: LADIICH AND UKNTLIC.MKN I should llko to know tlio inontal process liy which the Konllu- mon, who me In nomination for tho honorablu position to which youlmvuNolieulUy idoctoa mo, and for which 1 certainly thank you. lUTlvcil at tho conclusion Hint I wiis a ile- Mlniblo man for the position.

Mr. Knowlton was frequently inter? rtipted by applause, and as sve know he had no idea of bis name being brought before the meeting until about the time he went to dinner yesterday, and as he was occupied at h's place of business during the afternoon, his address must have been pretty nearly impromptu.

President Knowlton introduced as the tlrst speaker of the evening, Hon. II. C. Burchard. As Mr.

Burchard rose to aduress the assemblage ho was greeted by loud and hearty applause. His speech earnest and logical. Among other things he.slid that it did his heart good to look upon the assembly before him. There were here assembled the old aud tke young, aud the ladies were present In goodly numbers to cheer them on with their smiles of approval. It put him in mind of the campaign of IHfeO, when the "Wide-awakes" were formed to take part in that important campaign.

The Indies of Freeport pre- Hented the club with a handsome (lag to cheer them on to victory. He stated hat there were 70,000 young men in the state of Illinois who will cast their first vote for president thin full, and over a million in the United States. HUB vote held the balance of power in the coming struggle. Usually the boy votes as his father does, but not always. In the dark days of 'GO, when tlio Democrats tried to ruin the government, tho young men flocked to the support of the Republican party, and the Republican party needs the support of tho young men in the coming campaign, as the fundamental principles of the government are again being attacked by this same old Democratic party.

What has the Democratic party done in the past twenty-live years that should command the support of the young men? You can't point to one tiling. It is a party devoid of principle or lofty aims. He referred to the history of tho Democratic party before the war, and tho condition the Republican party found tho government in when it went into power. It wiped out slavery, cemented the Union together, and put the nation on a sound financial, basis. Look at the contrast between the condition of tho government twenty-five years ago when the Republicans went into power, and the condition it was in four years ago when it was turned over to tho Democrats.

He had not time in the five minutes allowed to him to relate all the noble accomplishments of the Republican party. Its history is well known, and all a young man has to do is to study well the history of both parties before lie casts his vote. lion. R. II.

Wiles, the leader of the young Republicans, was then introduced and lie greeted tho audience with one of his most pleasing smiles. He was surprised at the large and intelligent audience present at the meeting. It was a good omen for the Republican party to have such a large and distinguished audience present at a meeting called before the campaign had fairly opened, and before their candidates had yet been put in nomination. It showed that the Democrats were mistaken when they thought they had buried the Republican party four years ago beyond resurrection. The Republican party was a party of principles and could never die.

It may sustain defeat, but the party has been purified and united by that defeat, and the Democrats will bo powerless to withstand the attacks which will be made on their lines this fall by the united Republican party. The Democrats thought the Republican party could not hold together out of office, but in this they were badly mistaken. For his part he would be glad to let the Democrats have the little petty oflices in the gift of tho President, provided the Republican party could run the government, protect our American industries and our American laborers and our institutions. Look at the history of the two parties in the past, on every great and important national issue the Republican party has always been on the right side and the Democrats on the wrong. The Democrats would meet at St.

Louis to nominate a Vice President. Because (i rover Cleveland, the great civil service exponent, the man who said a public ollico was a public trust, and that no man should hold the high olllce of President more than one term, lias nominated himself by the aid of his creatures who owe their positions to his favors. Tho Democrats do not love rover Cleveland. He is not the idol of his party. The Democrats fear him.

lie is a die- tutor and rules his subjects with an iron hand. Already he dictates from the White House who shall go on the ticket with him. The (jiiestion is not who the Democratic party wants for Vice President, but who does l.irover Cleveland want. This great apostle of civil service reform is the dictator in tho Democratic party, and tlio Democrats are afraid of his displeasure. They are like tho old darkey and the boy who went fishing.

The boy tumbled into the river, and the old darkey at at the risk of his own life, rescued the lad. A stranger passing by remarked to the old darkey that he ii-tmt think a good deal of the boy to risk his own life to save him. "Lord, Massy," replied the darkey, "I don't care nuniii fo' dat boy, but he had all de bait in his pocket, aud if he had drown' I'd have lost all de bait." And so it is with Grover Cleveland; lie has got all the bait of the Democratic party in his pockets, in the shape of offices, aud the Democrats stick to him because they do not want to lose the bait. Cleveland was a free trade he would go before the country on a free-trade platform. If the tariff was reduced 10 per cent, not a factory in Freeport could run without cutting down the wages of the mechanics, and it is so with all the factories in the United States.

Cleveland has done nothing but blunder ever since he has been in olllce. lie tried to send back the Rebel flags, sat down on pensions for Union soldiers, put Rebel Lauiar on the Supreme Bench and now wants free trade to ruin our institutions and degrade our laborers to the level of the paupers of European free trade Mr. Wiles' speech was frequently and loudly applauded, and he succeeded in awakening genuine enthusiasm. The glee club then rendered another selection, after which tho President introduced J. M.

Bailey, of Sioux Falls, D. who has been chosen one of the delegates to the Republican National Convention, lie made a witty and telling speech, and predicted success for the Republican party next fall. He brought down tho house when he stated that the Democrats of Dakota Territory wanted the tax taken oft' whiskey and placed on soap. Dakota would be glad to cast her electoral vote for the Republican party if a Democratic Congress would admit the territory into the Union as state, P. J.

Geib was then introduced and made a few remarks. He did not expect to be called upon and was not prepared to make a speech. But his voice would be heard in the coming campaign, and he would always uphold the principles of the Republican party. The issue would be free trade vs. protection.

He was for protecting American laborers and American iusitutions. The glee club sang another song, after which tho meeting adjourned. BEDUOING THE FOBOE. MANAGEIt OF THE C. M.

Mr.

Miller said last night that he had been led to issue the order because of the constantly decreasing revenues derived from traffic. "The business of our lino was exceptionally heavy during the winter," he said, "and a large extra (force of men was required to handle it. Now that the volume of business has fallen back to a normal status, this extra force must be dispensed with. Then again, rates, owing to the persistent endeavors of the railway commissions of several Iowa and Minnesota- have a downward tendency that demoralizes earnings and reduces revenues, and expenses must be reduced accordingly in order to maintain the equilibrium." Manager Miller further says that there will be no new territory invaded by the St. Paul road this summer, and there has not been a time since his connection with the road when the matters pertaining to the financial condition needed more constant care.

The reduction of rates and the decrease of revenue have become a serious matter. Sabbath Services- Salem Pastor Rev. W. II. Fouke will preach at 10:30 and 7:30.
