Judge Bolton said that he had not attend
ed prOmiscuOus meeting-he did not call this
political meeting OF he would not be here
for seven years. But this was a time when
he felt that he should break over the rules
which he had established for his guidance.
This was a time when every man should break
over such trammels.
He thought we should reason and not be
moved by passion, for we would need all ouI
reasoning faculties to carry us through. He
said that at the Convention the people had
nominated such men as they thought we're to
represent your views. These men had, he
was sorry to say, gone to Columbus to repre-
Sentus, and he thought they had better have
staid ct home and have learned what the
people wanted. TCheers III referred tC
the nomination Of Vsllandigham he thought
that the men who had nominated him haddOne
so in an excitement, an effervescenee Of spirit
which had flowed over. If we acted in the
same spirit, before the election day would
come, blood would follow. We must not dc
this. We must not 60 by party. This Co
vsrnment was not made up of parties. We
must not select the party man.
BE paid a fine tribute TO Governor Tod, Al
the same Llllt hdlAuk AlhA AEG DAlCG Ol hO-
vernon was not made for him. We must not
make it a personal matter.
He thought that the prejudices against
Governor Tod, who had done some very
foolish things were TO be regarded. lie
spoke Of the suspension Of the writ of Habeas
Corpus as q thing for some people to found
prejudices upon. We should yield little
He addressed the delegates, paying q
pleasant compliment to the Hon. T. 7. Baekus
but at the same time reminding hin thai
he was q epresentative-mereIy a cesfliqg,
trust and not the one for whom the trust Wai
held, and closed with the proposition tha
if Jack BrOugh were nominated Yallandig-
ham would not get twelve votes in the
county.
Mr.. Barlow came forward. He expressed
his entire disregard of party. He thought
that no one should feel it wrong to Join handi
with Republican over the cause Of the
country. There was no reason, thank God
why he should vote for Vallandigham, whC
who was one Of the d-dest rascals that eVel
lived nor was there any reason why hl
should support the Democratic Platform
which contained not a single word on thu
vital topics Of the day, but only sickly sym
pathy for the poor soldiers who had been shO
in the war.
There were not, previous the Democrat,
Convention, ten men in the city who believed
In Vallandigham.
He adverted to the loose way in which the
delegates were appointed to that Convention
There we're fifteen hundred accredited dele
gates from Dayton alone. [Cheers
Who would he vote for? He would vOtt
for any man who could whip Vallandigham
He did not wish to vote for Dave Tod. H.
hsd been through two years Of Iaboriou
work, and had offended too many people. Be
sides Tod had told Pugh that as soon as hi
career as Governor was over, he would 90 bacl

(From the crowd, 81 John Brough has 90

big head, and heart, and - from thi
crowd, Horse sense he was quiet MAJ
who went shout his business, and had no
been in political life since '47, and was de-
termired never again to enter into poiitica
life, but the people had called him and thu
speaker was ready to vote for him first be
cause he was a good Democrat; secondly be
cause be was an able man, and lastly be
cause he was an honest one.
Mr.. Barton closed with an eloquent de
nunciation Of those who loudly called fO
peace when the rebels we're now on our owl
soil.
