ENTHUSIASM —— GREAT The republ'can jubilee last evening was a most remarkable demonstration, the like of which is not often seen in a city where political meetings are not as common as they are in other cities of the land. The jubilee was held in the Center Mar- ket Hall, and, large as that hall is, 1t could st ‘cly accommodate the crowd that de- sired to participate in this expression of satisfaction and joy at the election of Mc- Kinley and Hobart. Every seat in the hall was occupied long before the hour set for the opening of the meeting, and when the speakers of the evening were introduced there was a double line of spectators all about the sides of the hall. A noticeable feature of the jubilee was the attendance of hundreds of ladies. They composed quite a third of the entire au- dience, and they were not one whit less enthusiastic than their brothers and hus- bands. Many of them had pinned to their breasis little silk fags and jong streame of yellow ribbon. Scores of ladies had pro- vided themselves with silk flags about the size of a handkerchief, and with these they aved the “Chautauqua salute’ when the speakers were Introduced. A Splen Sight. The hall was elaborately decorated for the occasion. The iron rafters were hung with bunting to such an extent that the great audience sat beneath a perfect can- opy of the national colors. The walls were draped with flags, the stars and stri sing very much in evidence on every side Above the platform was hung a mammoth mpaign banner, with portraits of the next President and Vice President. A score or more of growing palms made a fringe of beauty about the platform. The decorations, however, simply the background in the picture. The audi- ence was far more in Several and perso! al and repr Ss were pr ntalive audience, ntative of the best intellectual and social life of the nati , is not often gathered togetner. e present many elderly men women who ‘have watched with interest the history of the country for more tt neration and who have taken their several parts in the life of the nation.

In the xalle was stationed the John B. Henderson Fife and Drum Corps, that played several j atr otic and popular a ning.

An impressive prayer delivered by Rev. Dr. S. H. Gieene presiding officers of the jubilee was M M. Clapp, who has been a figure in the re- publican party ever since there was a party py that name, and as that venerable gen- tleman made his introductory speech he was given the warmest kind of a recep- tion. Seated upon the platform were a number of gentlemen, from Washington and uear- bysstates, who are actively identified with the republican party. Among them were: to Order. alled to order by M v A.

Among the organizations which attended the mecting in a body was the McKinley and Hobart Club of Gallaudet College, of which more than half the students of the college are members. One would imagine that, being deaf, thelr opportunity of en- joying a jubilee’ meeting would be limited, but such was not the case. The young men had an interpreter, Mr. Uttler Read, a fellow in the normal department of the college, who followed closely everything that was said, and translated it into the sign language for the benefit of his friends who could not hear. Chairman Clapp’s Rentarks. Shortly after 8 o'clock Mr. Wolf called the meeting to order, anf introduced Mr. A. M. Clapp as the permanent chairman. As the venerable Washirigtontan advanced to the rostrum he was greeted with a round of hearty applause. He said! that no more apology was needed for celebratiig the election of McKinley and Hobart than for celebrating the natal day of the republic. He spoke of the best interests of the nation hanging in the balance before the election. “We have occasion for thanks tonight,” said Mr. Clapp. “The Great Ruler of us all has thrust His hand into the contest and brought us the victory.” After the hymn “America” had been sung by the male choir on the yplatform, the audience joining the chorus, th os preside’ of the meeting Foliowing this, Gen.

Above the noise made by hands and feet rose the voice of one man, erying “Cuba! Hurrah for Cuba!’ ‘This gave rise to more enthusiasm, and when the paragraph which spoke in no measured terms in favor of fair and just pensions for old soldiers was read, one old rteran in the front of the hall cried cut, “Thank God! ‘Thank God! Resolutions Adopted. The resolutions were adopted without a dissenting voice. The resolutions stated that by their ver- dict at the polls in November the people of the country had declared in favor of pro- tection to American industries and Ameri- labor; of sound moncy; that wage rners shall be given an opportunity to work and he paid in sound money; of just and impartial enforcement of law; of @ vigorous foreign policy; of sympathy with all people who are suffering under tyranny and oppression, and especially with the people of Cuba in their struggle for national independence; of the increase of trade with the commercial nations of the worll; of Eberal pensions to the soldiers of the Union army who are living, and the wilows and orphans of those who are dead. ‘The reso. lutions also condemned anarcay, discrder, and violence, and the spirit which would array one class against another, and con- cluded with a pledge to support all ineas ures which may be adopted to preserve th government, enforce its authority and ad- Vance the prosperity of the peopie and the glory of the nation. When the appla which greeted the reading of the resolutions had subsided, Mr. Pere Foster sang a campaign song, Marching On,” to the tune Hymn of the Republic.” It inging notes of the glories of a republican victory, and when it reached the chorus the audience needed no urging to Join in the singing. All knew the tune, and the words were not difficult to learn, and the singers put plenty of fortissimo into the closing words, “McKinley's marching on.” Ex-Senator Platts Letter. A letter was read from ex-Senator T. Platt of New York. In the course letter Mr. Platt said: “Governor Altgeld is to take the visible pins of party government in his awn state of told in c of his in his own hands, and Mr. Bryan declares that the war Is to be kept up, and that his campaign of education wil be continucd and will be carried on even among the business men. Behind and above all nangs the grim dow of fraud in the counting of the vote in more than one state. The country and the republican party could have no fairer or more ample warning that the advocates of the pernicious docirin of the Chicago platform intend to continue the agitation for repudiation and anarchy til they succeed, or until they have be terly overthrown. We must, the celebrate the recent victory with arms in nds. The necessity for republican and vigilance is made very plain. ere is no other organization that can hope to make head against the foes of good and of stable government, and so the sibility which rests upon’ the party is as great as can be conceived. It is not a time for factional bickerings or the put- ting forward of personal ambitfons. It is not a period when the faddists should be encouraged or the whimsical the, should be allowed to have their ¥ there is abundant evidence that ple now fancy the November victory was their own, and there is nothing to do but engraft their pet hobbies into the working scheme of government. The real need of the time is practical common sense prac- tically applied to the good government of the nation.” Sepator Sherman's Speech. Senator John Sherman was Introduced to the audience by Mr. Wolf as ‘‘‘The’ re- publican of the United States.” His ap- pearance was the signal for uproarious ap- plause, long continued. Senator Sherman said he desired to ex- press his profound congratulations to the ccuntry over the election of McKinley and Hobart. The past campaign presented the most important questions that have come up since the civil war. The most important one was whether this country should have a dollar as good as any in the world. The true democratic party did not belicve in free silver. They were in favor of honest gold money. The doctrine of the free silverites struck not only at the moral question of honesty in dealings, but struck at the interests of labor. Silver and gold have never stood together in our country. They were spoken of as money in the rev: lution, but the money of other countries was in circulation. “A silver dollar was later made a dollar, but it was worth a dollar. This was done by making fifteen ounces of silver worth one of gold. Silver was not coined to any considerable extent. It gradually fell in value. The result was that when Mr. Jefferson became President he stopped the coinage of silver, and for more than thirty years no silver dollars were issued. When the Silver Dollar Was Dropped. These people who have started out for free coinage forget that the democratic perty in 1853 dropped the silver dollar. In 1875 we commenced to go back to silver and gold coin. In that year we entered upon the resumption of specie payment. By that method we were able, in 1879, to make every dollar as good as gold. The enormous production, of silver in this country has caused silver to fall to one-half the value of gold. The wild and dangerous doctrines of the free silverites would have cut the laboring man’s dollar in half. One result of McKinley's election is that our dollar today is a dollar ev where on the earth, Speaking of the repeal of the Sherman act, Senator Sherman expressed gratitude to the democratic party and to President Clevelewl for the part they took in that ac- tion. He predicted that within a year no will be heard about free coinaze. may speak for four years in a continuous stream, but without avail. The Tariff Question: : “We republicans believe it 1s the duty of Congress when collecting taxes to levy them as far as possible upon foreign peo- ple,” said Senator Sherman, coming to the tariff question. That is a printiple that must be remembered. We cannot afford to tax our own people. He hoped the demo- eratic Congressmen would help to pass a bill that, would furnish eough revenue. Senator Sherman referred to the great pub- lic debt incurred under the Cleveland ad- ministration. If the demoérats~ had not come into power practically the whole pub- lic debt would have been wiped out by this time.

Senator Sherman paid a warm tribute to the old soldiers, and advocated a policy of gratitude to them through liberal pen- sions. Those men enabled the nation to and as a unit, and to become the t upon the earth. “I want to give my most found thanks to those democrats who aid: us in our victory. They deserve more cre than republic: We belong to a great and powerful party. But they came from a great party also strong and able and brought the moral suasion of their presence. They. differ with us cn the tariff, but I hope to see the day when we will have a tariff acceptable to democrats and re- publicans. “I thank Grover Cleveland and the men who stood with him in this matter for the aid they brought us.” Senator Sherman then paid a glowing tribute to the personal character of Major McKinley and Mr. Hobart. In closing his remarks Senator Sherman said he hoped the day wouid come when the citizens of this District would be grant- ed the right of franchise. He had lived among them forty years, and regarded them with affection ard gratitude. Chairman Hanna’s Regrets. A letter was read from Mr. M. A. Hanna, regretting his inability to be present. Col. John A. Joyce read a poem suitable to the oceasion, which was cordially received by the audierce. Dr. Barber of Maryland then briefly ad- dressed the audience. He said the first 4 trict of Maryland had at last been redeem ed, and will join hands with the wes ern shore in sending a solid republican dele- gation to Congress. Mr. M. M. Parker's Speech Mr. M. M. Parker was then introduced to the audience. He said it was fair to pre- sume that almost every state in the Union was represented in the house. Every state claimed that its vote cast the controlling vote in the election. But the republicais of the District of Columbia contributed as much to the election as those of any sta Great credit was due to the local repub: licans forthe work they did in organizing and sending home the voters. Mr. Parker also gave credit to the gold democrats. By the change of a few thou- sand votes in a few states they wo:ld have been lost to the republicans. “Now let _us be magnanimous,” sai Parker. “‘We have them and let us them. We will need them four hence.” Col. McDonald of Maryland made a few congratulatory remarks. He made no tempt at a set speech and Mr. Simon Wolf explained the brevity of the remarks by saying that Col. McDonald, like Grant, as not a great speaker, but that he had ‘met Lee and defeated him.” Senator-elect Wellington sent a letter of regret, which was read from the rostrum. Patriotism of the Negroes. Mr. John M. Langston of Virginia was next fhtroduced. He said the 9,000,000 of negroes in the United States have been loyal to the government in every emer- gency which has confronted the country.

On one end of the bridge he wanted the statue of Gen. Grant and on the other the statue of Gen. Lee. (Applause.) Col.
