THE DAILY APPEAL.


Adolphus Waltz, Esq, was chosen Chair
man and Hon. J. Nicely Johnson and General
S. H. Marlette, were elected vice Presidents
Col. James c. Zabriskie being introduced
began his address by stating the fact that all
though he had made up his mind to retire
from active participation in politics, the ext
pencies of the times, and his sense of duty as
a patriot h ad called him again to put forth
his energies in behalf Of the election of Grant
and Colfax. A fter a brief recitation of the
past history of Presidential elections held
since the formation of this Government, re-
minding US with relation thereto that up to
the election of 1860, the abitrament of the
ballot had been accepted as a final decision,
hot to be eOntended against or opposed, the
speaker entered upon an able ard highly
finished argument in sustainment of the
position that the democracy" of the present
day was such only in name, and not in prin-
ciple. Following this, Colonel Zabrskie
gave us an interesting and highly instructive
history OF the rise, progress and downfall of
the Democratic party, which we regret, We
have not space enough to give even intel
iicent synopsis of. \ strong point which
should arrest the attention Of foreign born
citizens, was put before his audience by the
Colonel, in his allusion 10 the fact that it re-
manned for Republican Congress to pass an
act which permits all foreigners landing upon
our shores, and declaring their intentions to
become citizens of the United States, to enter
al once, without money and without price,
upon the public lands-each man Cor wo-
mani having the right to 100 acres of such
lands-thus being PRIVILEGED over the native
born citizen by the space of 81 years. AL
fusion WAS also happily made to the expa-
triation laws and treaties, made by the Re
publican party IN Congress, represented-the
laws which give protection to our natural
lied citizens abroad. Leaving this part of
his subject, the speaker proceeded to pay
his respects to the leaders of the
Copperhead party. He referred TO the mis-
representations made BY Democratic orators
and writers-tho~e of Senator Casserly of
California in particular. The Measurements
Of fact as made by that gentleman were
shown up greatly to the damage Of that high
Light Of the California Copperheads. 1t was
shown that in reality the expenses of the
Government were now-notwithstanding the
enormous debt and is accruing interest
less than they were during the term of Pres
lGeut Buchanan. Colonel Iabriskie gave us
4 mastery expose OF the finance question,
showing conclu~Ivelv, the utter iallacy OF the
Democracy with regard thereto. He asked
Us to consider who and what it was that Gre
ated the de1t-remInding Us in answer to
that question that it was the war carried on
hy the rebels and sustained by the modern
Democracy. The various false charges and
assumptions of the Cupperheads were taken |
up in detail and answered, conclusive
" and in this connection, the consti-
nationality Of the Reconstruction meas
ures of Congress was shown without doubt. |
he suffrage question was taken up and |
treated with great clearness, the various in
cIdentS leading IN the necessity for the
emancipation OF the slaves and the conse-
4uent necessity for their protection by the
ia Hot were reclted in detail, the speaker ar
rsyiuy at the same conclusions which actua-
ted Congress in giving the freedmen the
right to vote. He said that in his discus
sion, the night before in Virginia City,
Judge Pltzer had attempted to lndict and
tcy the Republican party and that he had
replied bv calling attention to the grand
verdict which had come up from the grand
jrry as empanneled in Vermont, Maine,
Pennsy wanna, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska,
he Colonel closed his speech in brilliant
and glowing peroratlon which was received
by loud and continued applause.
Mr.. d ii. Brown, the Republican candi-
date fer the State Senate from Orms-
bv County was next introduced and
with much credit to himself set forth the
position OF the Republican party with regard
TO the great issues Of the day and his own
conclusions thereupon. The RecOnstruc-
ton question was reviewed with much
force and originality, the speaker deliver ;
ing himself greatly to the satisfaction of
his auditors. He closed amid much APP
p!au>e.
MIR. DeLorg who was present was loudly l
called fir and came forward und made r
a very lively little speech in which he as
sgred the audience that the Great East"
was perfectly sure and safe for the Repub- ,
lean cause. He gave a very pleasing mar
ration OF his encounter with Pitzer and /
other Democrats, showing their inconsistent 7
cies and the folly of their speeches, acts and
ecord. Following this he favored the au- i
some o! the more prominent issues of the I
demonstrations OF appreciation and delight c
His appeal to the naturalized citizens was t,
trong, convincing and full of fervor. Warm $
ng with ms subject, he denounced the Demo- h
ratio party in terms of tremendous invective.
losing with a stirring appeal to the Union
men of Ormsby TO stand by their colors, he
vas greeted with an avalanche Of applause. n
SO late was the hour when Mr.. Long had
lnished his remarks that Mr.. benson de-
lined to address the meeting. We hope to =
e able to announce speech from him be- :,
ore the canvass is ended. -
