congratulate you that the noble
! State of Ohio has elected our noble stand
ard-bearer, Gen. Hayes, by 2,6o0 ma
! jority. The majority is small but the
Republican people in Ohio thought it
/ was all right and neglected to VOTE
! Over 2,200 Of our Republicans in Hamil-
ton County neglected 10 vote.
congratulateyou upon another thing,
that but for the mis- axe Of the Demo-
cratic party in nominating, or accept
! ing Gen. Cary as their candidate. and by
that means exciting the people, and
! bringing them out to vote, We should
have lost Hamilton County, also. But
that position of theirs brought out the
vote, and the Democratic party have
nothing to show for it but Gen. Cary,
and I wish them luck of him.
In 1862 the Republican party Of Ohio
felt good deal as they felt last Tues
day, over confident, and the Democrats
carried the State by large majority,
electing their entire State ticket In
1868, the Republican party elected

| Hayes has said, the sore heads now have
been disposed Of, and everybody resting
quietly about "rings;' and next wear
the Republicans will he united and roll
up majority Of $4,000, but believe it
will be 10000, for the Republican candi-
date for President [Cheers.1
Hon. Ben. Eggleston then made short
! speech, which we are compelled to omit
! for want of room. During its delivery
! he was interrupted by the hootings and
| groans of n crowd of Democrats who had
| come down from the Enquirer Office.
| The crowd then called out Mr.. Fred.
Hassaurek, who was cheered by the Re-
publicans and hooted by the Democrats.
He spoke as follows:
REMARKS OF Mr.. HAssAUREK.
FELLowCITIzENs: 1t seems you have

ocratic friends. [Cheers.l You crowed
a little too early, my Democratic friends.
| [Cheers and Kisses. You wasted your
powder in vain last night, because the
only gain you have made-the only man
you have elected claims to be Repubii-
can. [Cheers and laughter Let mo
give you sound piece of advice, my
Democratic friends-don't coun. your
chickens before they are hatched.-
lCheers.
One Of the papers representing the ele-
giant and refined, sweet-scented Democ-
racy of our County represented me in a
cut, this morning, a. dead dog. But I
tell you l can wag my tail yet. Laugh
ter and cheers. ...-..
And, my friends, if you want reason
why you should not support party like
that. just look at them tonight. You
don't want better argument against
them. [Cheers and hootings.l Why,
men who can't behave like decent men
and free citizens of a free country, will
soon be beaten and swept away to moth
| ingness again.
We will stand up for principles, my
! friends. We represent the true Democ-
| racy, the civilization of the nineteenth
century; and you on the other hand rep
resent the barbarous spirit of the middle
ages. You don't deserve to be citizens
Of free country. [Groans and Kisses.
You don't deserve to live under that
glorious flag of ours. You are disgrace
| to humanity and to the city you live in.

What about Pennsylvania?"J You
ask how about Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-
vsnia isall right for the Union. [Cheers. ]
Now hoot again. Laughter
My Republican friends, you are always

Kisses and hoots.] Any goose can hiss
L saw at the polls last Tuesday one of
the Democratic tickets with hog print
ed on top of it, fit emblem of that par
ty. Because the rooster has ceased to
crow, the hog commences to grunt.-
| [Cheers and groans.] 1t is perfectly pro-
per it should do so. But, my friends,
Cincinnati is hog packing establish
ment. We have many slaughter houses
here. to which we now consign the Dem.
ocratic emblem. fGreat cheers. 4
! But, my friends, it is impossible 70 say
any more at present. do not feel like
j throwing pearls before swine tonight
i don't. feel like wasting breath on these
! gentlemen now, and we will wind up for
the present, with three cheers for the
cause and the Union.
The cheers were given with hearty
! good will. But the crowd did not seem
disposed to leave. The chagrined DEM
ocrats especially remained, hooting,
groaning, and seeming desirous of raising
a disturbance; but the exultant Repub-
licans paid little attention to them, hold
ing, however, their ground. Finally
they began singing: .ta..
