ZAxEsyLLE, Sep. 13.--The Music
Hall was packed to night to hear
General Garfield. He VAS intro
lduced by General Wits General
Garfield said the war in Europe
now gengage the minds of the
people, and he spoke Of the rela-
tien of their events to our affairs.
We are the only great nation that
IS not brncing for trouble because,
early in this trouble, we as nation
resolved not to interfere. The
! Democratic party, by Yallandigham,
asks to bury the past. There is
some truth and some error in this.
The question this fall is, (Which Of
these parties will you trust?' In
the past note, first, that every prop
osition the Republicans have made
in the last ten years has been Op-
proved and carried out, and the
propositions by the Democratic
party, for the same period, have
been repudiatcd by the American
people.
Again, all the propositions of that
party for the past ten years will not
be brought up again. He cited the
question of the extension Of slavery
in the West, the severance Of the
Union, and the abolition of slavery.
Reconstruction was opposed by
the Democratic party, but each
State has been united in one nation,
and they stand as the stars in the
armament. Hence the experience
Of the last ten years is of much i'm
portance in deciding how to act
now. He asked the Democrats if
they are not glad that slavery was
dead, that the war rwas q success,
and the Union restored? If so,
you are glad your party has been q
failure, atr H.
Looking to theprcsent, he charg-
ed that the Democratic party now
offers us substantive proposition of
government. They only resist what
we have done. The Administra-
ton is charged with wastefulness.
Compare it with that of Buchanan
or johnson. Buchanan found the
Government owing S20,00O.OOO,
and he left it owing $4,000, ,00O.-
1t took Sl.2O0,OO0 to keep one of
/ his regiments a year. It takes on
/ ly 100000 to keep one now the
same time. The Democratic party |
complain of debt. Who made it ? |
1t lies at their door. No Republi-
can ever seeded. The hope Of divis-
lion in the North was the chief
cause of extending the war. John
son, in the last year and a half of
his administration, increases the
debt one and a half million. Grant,
in the same time, reduced it one
hundred and sixty-nine million
Cheers.
General Morgan, from this dis
trict, in trying to tell you what has
been done, is like man sent to re-
port the chances for good site for
an iron mandatory, and returns
to you the number of nails in the
mules feet in that locality, and
says nothing about the material
facts and expenses of establishing
the works.
Grants administration cost $S4, |
100000 less the first year than
fJohnson's did his last year, and |
there was reduction Of one hun
dred and seventy three millions of
tax in that year. If Morgan de-
mics it, the speaker challenged him
to meet him on any stump in Ohio.
Loud Cheers. ! Congress thought
best to reduce the tax eighty,one
millions, and yet Morgan, with Al
Democrots, voted against the
measures. Let himsexplaiH this
He referred to the Democratic
State platform made in June, pro.
nouncing the stamps, sales and ip-
comes uncomfortable. and yet a
month after Morgan and his forty
four Democrats voted against the
bill before Congress lifting the, said !
tax. Why, Morgan says the Re
publican party framed the National
Bank Law in favor Of the East,
which gave eighty-six millions Of !
currency to New England and
eighteen millions to Ohio, and yet |
when the speakers bill to take
twenty five millions from the East,
and give it to the South and West,
was voted on, Morgan and 81 Dem
ocrats were against it.
The Mungen Democrats are for
sponging off the debt by repudia-
ton. Every Republican is against
that. The only reason why Massa-
chusetts' bonds, two years ago,
were twenty per cent. higher in Lou
don than the United States
bonds was because there was not
enough Democrats in Mdssachu
setts1to getup fear of repudiation.
When the United States credit i'm
proved Congress provided for
funding at four and five per cent;
and yet Morgan and the Demo
Gratis voted against it.
He closed with an allusion to the
European war, that brought down
the house. 1t was splendid
speech throughout. .'l'''
