Lester Reviews tbe Action of the
1 House, the Tariff and the Force
BUI—An Appeal for a Full Vote on
Tuesday.
The democratic rally at the theater last
night was a big wind-up of the campaign.
Congressman Crisp, who had intended to
be present and was booked for the opening
speech, was unable to airae on account of a
severe attack of neuralgia. He telegraphed
Capt. H. C. Cunni.ignarn, president of the
Lester club, to that effect, expressing his
regrets, ad sen ling greeting* to the demo
crats of Chatham.
When the meeting was called to order, a
few minnte* after 8 o'clock, t ie theater wa•
crowded with an enthusiastio audience,
which accorded Congressman Lester au
ovation as he appeared upon tbe stage.
Capt. H. C. Cunningham presided, and
the following gentlemen occupied seats on
the stage: Hon. A. Pratt Adams, D. A.
O’Byrne, Esq., Col. W. W. Gordon, Col.
George A. Mercir, A. R. Lawton, Jr.,
E q., H. M. Comer, Charles F. Pre der
ga*t, Dr. R G. Norton, John R. Young
and L. C. Downs
Capt. Cuaningbatn, in opening the meet
ing, s&id he ns proud to grest such a large
audience of democra a, and be was ghd to
see that the parly was taking such au
inieest in the election. “I foal,' 1 sa.d he,
••that you will, on Tuesday, Nov. 4, demou
strare to the Republics i party that the
democrats of the city of Savannah and the
County of Chatham b ve not taken a single
bacaHard step, a id will roll up the biggest
majority for Col. Letter ever given a con
gressman from this district”
col. lister's speech.
Capt Cu inlngbam then introduced Cot
Lester, and the applause was so great and
so c nunued that it nos several minutes
before be could be heard.
"I come before you to-night, fellow-clti
■ens," Col Lester said, “not to plead my
on ca if. but to plead the cause of the
Democratic party of the whole coun’ry.
lam be.ore you as the democratic candidate
for co igress ;rom the First district, and it
remains with you toeitber ratify that nomi
nal! m at the polls ..ext Tuesday, or let the
interests of the district be turnel over to
the party which has misgoverned this
country whenever it hat been in power.
“For the last ten months I have been a
witness of tbe schemes, and a victim of
them, too, in which the Democraii • party
has been knocked down and tramped upon
by the republican spencer and his caucus.
From wnat i have witnessed during tnat
period, 1 teel satisfied that if the Republio n
party is kept in power much long r it will
drive this free republic either to anarchiai
or monarch al form of gover iment, with
all power centered in one political party
with heaaquaters in Washington.
“By bribery and correction the Republi
can party secured control of the gover .-
ment in IHSS, and to increase its p we -
adopted the most outrage us methods ever
known in what should ha a representative
body to undo the will of a free people by
unseating its legally elected represent* ives.
That party does uot represent the people,
but only certain clas-es. Tbe mass of ihe
people of t e country are entirely ignored.
A TCCCH-UP FOR SPEAKER REED.
“When the last IT use o ganized the re
publics s had a legal majority of six, b it
th it was not sufficient for their purpises.
They elec ed a man to the spoakorshio to
decide questions of order to suit their
wi-.hes, and to have rules constructed wbn h
would give them ab-olu e contro. of every
thi .g, without. eference to tbe rights of the
people. And how well they succeeded.
Reeid’s will was all the law necessary,
backed as he was by the republican caucus,
over which he seemed to have supreme con
trol. Under him and his party tbe House
has ceased t > be a deliberative body, and is
now the master of the people, instead of the
servant.
“Speaker Reed boasts to the country of
what he has and ue for it, a id he says he is
proud of his record. Re has by usurpation
of authority tram-ded upon the rights of
every American voter, and be is to-day the
acknowledged law-maker of his party. Six
majority was not sufficient t > carry out the
infamous measures of his party. McKinley
told the truth waeu he said the republicans
in congress had 'wont’ to do. And they
did it How? By trampling under foot ail
previous rules of justice, decency and
civility, all ths rights of a free people, and
tuning out of their seats the representa
tives wbo were duly elected.
ROT A SINGLE EXCEPTION.
“In not a Bingle case of contest was It
proven that toe gentlemen unseated were
not elected. They excused themselves for
their villainous work under one pretext or
another, the principal one being to examine
the census report, and if the district snowed
a large black population, claim that the re
publican was elected on the ground that ail
the negroes belonged to them, and if they
didn’t vote they intended to.
“Party exigencies required that they
have a large work ni majority in the
Hou j e, and the republicans did not hesitate
to take more than tbe people allowed them.
“Take, for instance, the case of Col.
Elliott of South Carolina, whose unseating
was one of the most outrageous
proceedings of the session. Here
was a man turned out of
his seat simply for tbe amusement of
Speaker Reed and his cohorts, who had
nothing else to do while waiting for the
Senate to ratify tneir work previous to ad
journing for tbe se-sion. Not ten men in the
House, outside of the committee which had
charge of tne election contests, knew a s.ngle
fact connected with the case. But then the
republicans had to find so me amusement.
The previous question was called for, debate
cut off, a id In less time than 1 can take to
tell it, Col. Elliott found him -elf ousted
from Ills seat without hardly a word of
warning.”
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Col. Loiter then took up the McKinley
tariff bill and handled it without gloves
•‘The title of the bill,” said Col. Lester,
reads, “ *A till to reduce the revenues at.d
equalize taxation,’ Hut instead ot a reduc
tion the duties have beeu raised from an
a Brace of 41 tier cent, ad valerem to 6'J
per cent They had to make the bill to suit
the men who fried out the ‘fat’ for the
election of the Republican party in 18S8.
They made pledges at that time,
and they had to stand to
them. Where is the surplus
of 1 100,0!X),000 that the democrats left to
their credit when they pas ed out of power?
Gone! And ins'ead of a surplus this year
there will ne a deficit in the treasure, and
they will need the tariff to make up that
deficit.
"The republicans appeal to the working
men for tnelr suffrage, claiming that the
tariff protects their interests. Where does
be workingman get the protection! It is
tpe millionaire manufacturers who get the
•protection, and when do we hear of them
dividing up the profits given them by the
republican tariff among their employes? In
deed, it is only by tbe moat emphatic de
mands that the por man can ever get an
la crease in his wages.
THE FORCE BILL
“It was the tariff bill which prevented
tbe force bill from pairing the Senate at
thie session. One infamoua measure wa*
used to put the other to sleep, but its sleep
is oaly for a short time, unlees the people
rise up in their might next Tuesday and by
their votes prove to the party of iniquity
that they do not countenance it*
revolutionary legislation. If the result is a
republican Rouse then Read and bis men
will consider tbeir actions indorsed, and
will resurrect the infamous measure and
pass it in time for use in tbe pres dential
and congressional contest of I*9-.
“Wbat difference does it make what
political party governs when it and vas so in a
constitutional manner? The Republican
party has trampled on every constitutional
right of the American people, and yet it has
the audae ty to go before the same people
aud solicit their suffrage as a vindication of
its outrageous eonrse. The Democratic
party has always been the party of consti
tutional liberty, aud will coutinue to be as
long as it is in existence."
PLAIN TALK FOB LODGE.
Col. Lester then paid hts compliments to
tbe force bill, and showed up its i dqultou*
and outrageous provisions in a manner
plain enough f r even a child to giasp
“Whenever that measure becomes a law,”
said he, “it will place free Americans in a
worse plight than Ireland, and the people’s
right of choice will be ouly a part of the
past history of our glorious country. When
tbe general government undertakes to reg
ulate tbe inalienable and private rights of a
. eople it L (me to tell those people tnat
they are no longer a porti >n < f tne confed
eration, anl they should have let us go
when we started once before.
“Under this prop * and force measure the
republican managers can do tun counting,
certify tbs re urns and make their own
congressmen without any reference to who
the eople have voted for. Fell iw-citize is,
if the solid democratic legion of Georgia
is to be broke i and a republican sent to
congress, don’t let it be from the grand old
First district. Remember tbe old saying,
ns goes Chatham so gees the state, aud
don’t falter in your duty now."
At the close of Col. Lester’s speech the
applsuse was tremendous, and cheer after
cuear was given for him.
A. B. LAWTON, JR.’S, SPEECH.
A. R. Lawton, Jr., Eoq., was the next
•pe .ker, aid he started off by saying that
he was no political speaker, but when he
heard that there was a probability of soni6
respectable citzens of Savannah voting the
republican ticket next Tuesday, he con
sidered it Ms duty to say s metbing.
“How any respectable man," said Mr.
Lawton, "can hesitate in regard to hie
voting duty between the two parties in this
city I cannot understand. The Republican
party of the south i* tte party of degrada
tion, thievery and corrupt!- n, aim 1 ask
who are their represent*:ives in ibis dis
trict* You can always judge a man by the
company he keeps. What company is
Michael J. Doyle keeping to-night, and
wbat c m any did he seep to get his nomi
nation? I don't believe that there is
a white re: nblican in Savannah to-day woo
has voted what is died the republican
ticket. They are offiie-h dding republicans
or are hunting for office, but when it comes
to vo ing they can’t swsll -w the nominees.
“It was this i;reed for office that led Doyle
into tbe Re uMioan party. For years be
appeared to be an exception, but at last he
was brought into it, and he is now
so grredy that he is not satisfied
with a $3.300 a year office for hie eon. but
wants $5,000 a year for hirns If as congress
man.
“Yes, tbe south is sectional, and always
will be when it comes to a question of which
col r shall rule.
“If you want to vote for fraud, corrup
tion, degradation and thievery go and cast
a republican ballot. If you want a repre
sentative man. who is in favor Of g md gov
ernment. vote for Rufus E. Lester."
Mr. Luwton was loudly applauded ns he
finished bis brief speech, which seemed to
striae the vie a s of bis hearers.
JUDGE ADAMS’ APPEAL.
Judge Adams was then introduced. He
was suffering from ac Id, which cdppeTed
him to speak britfly. However, he consid
ered it his duty to be present at the meet
ing. Judge Adam* legretted that
circumstances over which the great
patriot, Congressman Crisp, bad
no control, prevented his being present. He
lauded the c urse of Col. Lester in the last
House, and appealed to the voters to go to
the p 11* on i uesday and cast their ballots
for the par'y tbut is pledged to the support
of American institutions. He scored the
tariff, and the force and pension bills passed
by the la*t House, a .and spoke of Reed as the
man who haa proititated thespeaker's chair
for his own personal aggrandizement and
undue advantage of his party. Heappealed
to every democrat to vote on Tuesday, even
ifstie bad to be carried from his bed to the
polls.
Judge Adams was frequently interrupted
by applause, aud there was considerable
disappointment at his not being able to
make a speech.
COL mercer cheered.
Col. George A Mercer was the next
speaker, ad ne was greeted with cheers,
lie said in substance: “Col. Lester is tbe
only reoresentative sent to congress from
the First district for many years who
brought back any practical results. The is
sues of the present contest are momentous,
and in f ct are to decide the personal lib
erty of the American people. The tariff
bill of the repu iicans is an infamous
measure, and overburdened the people un
neces-arily.”
In speaking of the Lodge election bill,
CoL Mercer said: “I endeavored to get a
copy of the'force bill, so as not make any
mtitake in sueakl ig of its outrageous feat
ures, out I did not succeed in getting one
in Savannah, but 1 don’t pro rose to make
any personal attack on Capt. Doyle. He
has tiu.lt up in Savann h a record for busi
ness and honesty that I would be the last to
attack, but I have a right to attack the
principle he represents. I adm red
his letter of acceptance, which was without
equivocation, lu that document he admitted
that be would support tbe tariff and gen
eral election law, which i* tne force bill,
aud all the other outrageous measures pro
posed l.v his party.”
Col. Mercer then went on to explain the
different effects of the measure, and he did
it in a clear aud concise manner, and was
attentively listened to by the large gather
ing.
THE HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS.
He called particular attention t> that
part ot the bill which provides for a house
to house canvaaa by the deputy an per visors
on the plea of a ee isus. ‘They enter your
house,” said he, ‘‘to practice corruption
among your servants and have them spy
upon you and report your conversations.
Do you recognize the class of men
who would be appointed to theeo
positions? The judge would naturally
appoint the mist obnoxious republican he
could find for the life position of chief super
visor, and that official would appoint the
meanest men he could get hold of for the
dlrtv work.
“I don’t advocate violence, but I know
there are meu in the south who would shoot
th se election supervisors in their tracks if
they attempted to enter their houses, as
prov ded in this bill
“It has been said that appeals have been
marie to some of my Irish friends to vote
for Capt. Doyle because be Is an Irishman.
lam nut Irish, but I have always felt that
there was a similarity betwee 1 the south
ern people and the Irish; they have the
lame warm'b of feeling and generosity of
nature, and it would give me pain to
know that any Irishman would vote
for a man representing such principles,
simply because be is an Irishman. They
wouldn’t do it in Ireland, and I don’t be
lieve they will do It here. It is due to our
candidate, on account of his personal
character, on account of his record in con
gress, and on account of the party ho repre
sents, to give him the largest majority ever
accorded a oaudUat* in this district.”
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1890—TWELVE PAGES.
AN APPEAL TO IRISHMEN.
Judge O’Bvrne started out by laying he
would not mui t upon the audienoe any
thing like a speech, but he proposed to
show the reason why no democrat should
vote for Cepf. Doyle.”
“Capt. Doyle,” said Judge O'Byrne,
“had excellent princples —waea he was a
democrat. From this this stage I under
etand every Irishman in the city was ap
pealed to to vote for Doyle because lie it an
Irishman. No Irishman can or will vote for
Doyle if be listens to me
a injmsnL I propose to compare
and prove this .American elections bill to
be identical with tbe force measure
of Ireland. Go where yon will, you will
find au Irishman, from tbe plains of Africa
to the top of theAlpa And yet have they
not one of the loveliest
countries of the world! Every Irishman
will sav, “yea." Then, why are the Irih
scattered broadcast over tbe earth, from the
home whion is entwined in their hearts.
It is because of tue force bills and class leg
islation that has been forced upon them for
centuries, *
“One of the force bills of that
country at one time forbade the
Irish to educate t eir children, undvr
penalty of being deprived of all rights of
citiz.msbip..”
Judge O'Bryne attacked the Lodge bill,
and was freuuently applauded.
A WORD OF CAPT. DOYLE.
“How Call Doyle,’’he conti ud, "who
is an ex-president of the land league
of this city, and has probably sent bis
money to Ireland to help th* people to fight
against just such measures, can stand up
and say that he will support similar legisla
tion on tbe southern pe -pie, I cannot and
do not understand "
Judge O’Bryue’s remarks as to
how happy an Irishman feels when he ab
jures tbe queen of Great Britain aud Ire
land, were eu husia.tically re
ceived, as was his reference to the fact that
the Insh made tbe best of adopted citizens,
illustrating it by showing i our people of
other natio alities sometimes celebrate the
birthday of foreign potentates, “but,” sad
he, “wno ever heard of an Irish nau cele
brating Queen Victoria’s birthday?”
He drew great word pictures of the con
dition of Ireland under force legislation
and appealed to the Irish to vote against
Do le and social equality.
Tne meeting broke up with three rousing
cheer* for Lester.

A Former Eavannahian Passes Away
at Marlow.
Mr. Edward J. Purse, formerly a citizen
of Savannah, died yesterday at Marlow, at
the advanoed ago of 74 years. Tbe deceased
: was a native of Charleston. 8. C., and
came to this city when a young man and
worked In the printing office of his brother,
the late Hon. Thomas Purse. Oa the re
tirement of tbe latter he succeeded to a part
of the business, and on inuel it in this city
and at Marlow up to his last illness.
During the greater part of his busi
ness career his establishment, which
comprised a stati >nery store and a printing
office and book bindery, was lu tbe building
which formerly oc upied the site of the
present Moknino News building. For
years it was the most extensive concern of
its kind in tbe state. In addition to bis
job business, Mr. Purse was Interested in
several periodical publications, among
tbem the Family Friend , a weekly l.ter
erary paper widen attained considerable
pop ilarity.
He was a warm advocate of eve-y meas
ure wbica promised to advance tbe
prosperity of Savannah. and con
tributed freely of his means in mak
ing tbem successful: in fact, in all mat ers
with which ne became identified he was en
ergetic and enthusiastic. During the con
federate war be was one of the projectors of
the Ueorgia Chemical Works, i succesiful
enterpr se. and also of a glass factory,
whic.i was just ab iut bezinn ng operations
when Sberma i began bis march through
Georgia. The disastrous termination of me
war seri rnsly crippled Mr. Purse’s business,
and a tew year- after its cl se he re
duced his es.abuibment and removed
it to Marl <w, where he spent the
remainder of his life. In his new home,
however, he became as enthusiastic in agri
cultural affairs, and in the devnlopme it of
tne surrounding country, as he had been in
other matters wnen he lived in the citv.
He was a member of tbe Republican
Blues for 50 years and was a life memhbr of
Zerubbabel Lodge No. 15 of Freemasons,
tie was a S wedenoorgian in belief, a.id nis
funeral services will he held at the church
of that faith, the “Pa k New-Church,” this
afternoon at a o’clock, from whence t >e re
mains will be taken to Laurel Grove ceme

Dn Bans Von Bulow'a Letter After
Concert Tour 1880.
To Wm. Knabe, Kq.. Baltimore.
Dear Bib—My renewed and by more use
—under aggravating circumstances, as bad
health and tlreaome traveling—enlarged
experience of your Pianos this (seeond and
last transatlantic) season has throughout
confirmed myself in the opinion of ex
preseed last year, via: Tnat sound and touch
of tbe Knabe Pianos are more sympathetic
to my ears and hands than sound, and
touch of any other niano in the United
States. As I met with frequent oppor
tunities of establishing comparisons be
tween the Knabe Pianos anl in* ruments
of nvalizing or would rivalizing producers,
I dare now add that 1 declare them tbe
ebeolntely beet in America. With sincere
regards, yours truly,
Dr. Hans von Buixjw.

OUT OF BIQST
Not Out of Mind.
Last season, though a p-or one from a
weather standpoint, we thought that tbe
measure of our success was almost full, but
tAi* season “caps the climax,’’ “takes t. e
cake," the “linen off the shrubbery,” and
captures tbe house. In point of volume of
business, number of new customers, all the
old ones and lu general satisfaction to the
publio and to ourselves.
We never had suob a bustling, hustling
and moving trade, never had so many
goods, never duplicated order* so often, and
never, notwithstanding almost daily ar
rival, found it harder to keep up stock.
This pleasant condition of affairs indicate*
much. People are prosperous ore dressing
better, and. most flattering of all to us,
shows that we have built well and
that the people like and patronize a safe
and solid structure. Need we say that tee
architect will guard well aud carefully their
iiaudiworkt Even the odious McKinley
bill seems to help somebody, a* notvrith
standing heavy additional duties we have
been compelled to make a second heavy
order for Loeb’s Pure Wool German Saui
ary Underwear. Maybe it’s beau eue aie
tearing the additional burden Instead of
tacking it on oar trade. We are appre
ciative—so is our public, a mutuality of
feeling that profits both. We thauk tho.*e
