minge his voice with the multitude
assembled TO rejoice that the day dawn OF
deliverance for the toiling masses was
clearly discer liable in the political hori.
zon. had the honor of casting major
ily Of my county in the State Convention
for the nomination Of that gallant soldier
and true Patriot, Gen. Rosecrano, and !
am here tonight to say that that county
will now give to 0hO's favorite son,
Geo. H. Pendleton, the largest majority
that she ever cast for any man. Two
years ago man was nom mated for the
second place on the ticket by our oppo.
netls and he declined, | mean the Hon.
sam. Galloway, a man who, by one-fourth
Of o century Of public life, had become q
tower Of strength, to supply his place o
man so obscure, that the masses OF their
own party did not know whether it was
Gen, John Lee, or the Confederate Gen.
r. E. Lee, for just at that time many of
the rebels had become repentant rebels
and were placed as saints in the Radical
calendar. When our nominee declined,
in less than five hours consultation, his
place is supplied by the ablest statesman
and purest patriot our State contains,
and one who will he triumphantly elected.
We now appeal to the intelligence Of the
people, and will try the great questions
which now concern the welfare Of the
people at the ballot box. We still possess
the freemans weapon, the ballot. Uue il,
my friends, for the honor and welfare OF
our beloved Slate. The ballots how ST.
lently they fall, like snow.6akes, on the
land, and execute the freeman's will as
lightning does the will Of God. Act wise

still left us by the power of the BALLOT
Drag forth these bOndholders, the drones
of society, who ale now depressing us,
and read TO them the Divine sentence,
In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou
earn thy bread"
Hon. J. f. Mckinney is reported
to have spoken as follows;
lie spoke of the great strength Of the
Democra tic parry, and its proud history ;
its achievements in the past, and its
prospects in the future. lie discussed
the proposed Fifteenth Constitutional
Amen dment, and the questions that grew
out of it--pegro suffrage and Chineee
immigration and suffrage. lie appealed to
the laboring men 10 vote for the Demo
cratic candidates. who are opposed to
these outragcs. The Radical tariff which
enriches New England at the expense OF
Western labor, was handsomely ventila-
led and anathematized; Pendleton and
greenbacks, the rallyiug cry of the De-
mocracy, were strongly indorsed and
eulo Sized.
From Judge Thurman's remarks
we take the following:
Go TO work, my friends, with hopeful
hearts and industrious zeal, and success
will be your reward. What a spectacle
is represented here 10 night Our oppo.
nents expected us To be wholly demoral.
ICED by Gen. Rosecrans' declination. Let
this days work, let this great meeting
assembled upon an hours notice, be our
answer. We would am sure that
could} have supported RoSecrans with my
whole heart for | know him to be an
honest and able man, and believe him
| 10 be o good Democrat. But for reasons
entirely sufficient reasons honorable tc
him. and honorable to the Democratic
| party, he has declined the nomination, and
already his place is filed by the potent
name of Pendleton, and the party is Oh
it's march to victory.
We make the following extract
from the speech of Hon. Milton
Saylo,:
Most heartily, my fellow. citizens, DO
congratulate the Democratic party o
Ohio upon the issue of this days work by
the Committee TO whom the dsstinies o
the party have been intrusted. Mos
heartily do congratulate my follow
Democrats that, when the brave and gal
liant and ever honorable soldier anC
gentleman, Gen. Rosecrans found i
inconsistent with his other obligations
and duties to accept the high positio,
which had been rendered him by tn
Convention assembled here month ago
and whose declinaion wac received will

present, IA ever in the past, he has beel
found ready at the call Of his party /

now congratulate that tho brief winte
Of our discomfort, occasioned by the de
clina tion of Gen. Rosecrans, is thus mad

have said, this is no time To discuss tn

tariff swindle, or the fifteenth amendmen

by unequal and unjust legislation. have
decided that to the Ubiquitous party In

standard bearer this day chosen, but also
upon his bright prospect Of success. |
