self It wasfn substance
the same as that he deliv-
cred in Indianapolis recently.
During his remarks he said the
Democratic party is, and always has
been, the Union party9of thisF coun-
try, and always was the only true
Union party.'s This declaration
sounded sstrange enough. since it is
but a short time since Mr.. Blair was
one of the most intense Radicals. It
is not worth while TO foil oWvhinf in
his remarks, since his speeches in
praise of himself have been publish
ed all over the. country, -sWe believe
our Democratic friends were disap-
pointed in Mr.. Blair as a speaker. It
is not at ali likely that he made any
convertsito the Democratic faith,
THE DINNER
The ladies of that party bad pre-
pared an -exeeIlentadinner, which was
spread on four large tables of about
two hundred and fifty feet each. We
believe that all who were there and
wished to partake of the dinner, had
bountiful snpplyoE IF not, it was
their own fault, and not the fault of
the ladies in failing to, prepare an
abundance. 9I.J = GHiyiifh
THE GLEE CLUBS.
There were IN attendance three
glee clubs, composed of ladies and
gentIemen, one from .Rockport, one
from Boonville and one from New
burgh.s The RockporS GIee Club
treated the people to quite a number
of campaign songs while the people
were at dinneE,Iwhich we're well sung.
The other clubs also entertained the
people for a. while An hour or
more was spent in singing, after
General Blair haduseoneluded his
speech, after which DR. Morgan, to
fill up the time. gave the PEG
pie small talk, after which
saa GENERAL WARD, ia .-slV
OF Kentucky, took. the stand. The
burden and theme of. his speech was
the "-eternalp negro. His corplaints
of the Reconstruction acts Of Con
gress were made in a sort of spirit of
bravado. He expressed in very en-
phatie language his opposition and
dislike to them, and said he would
fight the measures at the ballot-box
with all his might, and, If. need be,
with. the caFtridel box."z This was
about all particularly remarkable that
General Ward said. His closing re-
marks were an, exhortation to the
Democracy turn cut on the day of
the election and vote. as he expressed
it, for Blair and Seymour. We regret
that want Of space prevents us from
publishing more than a passing norice
of any Of the speeches. ,a.st -

that most public men have their day,
but that this was not his day. He
thought that the people hal begun to.

the people for calling him out, and
exhorted the Democrats to turn out
on election day and do their duty.
