 Pending the announcement of the orGaniza ton. Mir. John F. Tsln..."l', or stoh'hgton. ,,.s. ..,aes out and made one of his ~itty and tell,ng epceches. He believed in true demec- raey, but not in the modern democracy of the Breckinridge sort. He believed in such demo- crats as General Pratt and those other true Union men who still cling to the good old tra- dtions. He believed in nominating and sus- taining the old ticket The dsunonists will be del ghted if they can fnd five men in this Hall who will object to that ticket. Rake Con necticut with fine tooth comb, and you will not find so good. so able ticket as that. He did not see the use of spending time over the matter when so good a ticket was in ths field. For himself he should vote for the Union tick fho1,v Aa want Buckingham at the head of our State ticket. The eloquent speaker then spoke in the warmest terms of what Governor Bucking- ham had done for our soldiers in the field, his remarks being received with great applause. He hoped to be able to leave this country to his children as our fathers left it to us. and the only way to do this is to support the Union ticket. He then spoke at some length against the treason here at the North, which is mani fest m the action of the modern democracy.
