The Duty Of Democrats at the
Approaching Election.
| Liberal meeting Of citizens Of the Thirt
! Ward was held last evening at the South Sidt
| Headquarters, No. 454 Wabash avenue. Their,
| Was large attendance. Mr.. james McKindle,
! presided
| spoke Of the frauds perpetrated in Pennsy1va
| MIA, and was convinced that there was greate1
necessity for continued action on the part OF tht
Liberals if the Republic was not to be handed
over to the most corrupt and unprincipled mel
i'll the country. He called attention to the loca
ticket, and contrasted the nominees for Statet
Attorney. Mr. Reed made speech, blaming thf
Supreme Bench because murderers were moi
hung, and then wrote private letter apologizine
for what he had said, 1t wasread from the bench
and returned to the writer without note or oona-
ment: showing what the Supreme Court thought
OF the States Attorney Of Cook County
HON. THOMAS j. TURNER
said he had been chosen es candidate for States
Attorney for what reason he did not know, and
While he did not seek the nomination, he felt il
YVES his duty, as it was the duty cf every man, tc
take the place assigned to him in the line of bat
tie, and perform his part as became man and q
citizen. The question before the people was
that Of the Government against the people. The
conduct Of the Government in its diplomacy in
connection with the Alabama Claims and our re-
lations with Spain and Cuba was unworthy OF
the nation. The exchange OF Offices for presents,
aud the nepotism of the President, we're, if not
criminal, at least dsgraceful and reproachful.
Our Government, iko Cnsar's wife, should
be above suspicion. II one half that was
charged againat the Administration was true,
people could not, if they had any respect for the
Government, vote to continue the agents Of
that Administration in power EApplause.1 The
Liberal Republicans had nobly done their duty;
and Democrats should come forward and perform
their part. {Applause-] With the exception Of
himself, an excellent ticket had been put in the
he1d for local officers, and every good citizen
ton, and especially on that day. [Applause.]
Success was simply matter Of time, The
principles that were at the foundation Of the
Liberal cause we're eternal, and would ultimately
prevail The country had to be saved from q
more inslduous foe than ever threatened its e1-
istence, and Democrats and honest Republic
cans should unite with each other to accomplish
that end [Applause.1
HON. THOMAS HoFEE
thought the country was in more danger to-day
than ever before, and all good men should come
to its rescue. Ordinarily the election in Penn
sylyania would be discouraging, but considering
the shameless frauds by which it was carried,
frauds that offended the moral sense Of the
American people, there Was more reason for
hope than otherwise. The people could not
help being disgusted at frauds that threatened
Republican form Of government. 4 dishonest
candidate for Governor was elected by dishon-
eEty. Even Grant men could not but admit that
the State Of Pennsylvania WAS carried by frauds.
The American public mind had received q
shock that would rouse it to see
how the whole system of government was en-
dangered by the practice OF unblushing and out
rageons fraud. The men who manufactured and
their work, and there could not fail to be reec-
tion before the November election. [Applause.l
The Bourbon element was made up Of men who
abused the confidence Of the Democratic party,
aud brought regroaeh upon its good name dur
ing the war. They were now following Logan
and Butler, and others who were traitors to that
party, and joined the Republican party simply
to get office. Not to vote for Greeley WAS to
lndorse Grant. The man who did not vote
soe e5ssy ada %pf IL nRPS5sd aaa d" aP aa
lion. The only road open to the
people to-day to preserve their country from the
abuses Of tile Administration was by WY OF
way in which the President md his Cabinet
meandered to the sea-shore and all over the
country from their posts OF duty Was novel
but d dangerous and unprecedented practice.
Suppose Mayor Medill went away and let the
city run itself as it pleased, would the people
stand it? He did not think they would, and yet
the men who had sworn to support the Consti-
tuition and execute the laws Of the United States
were absent from the seat Of Government for
been mainly engaged for the last
half year in making arrangements
and using all their power and patronage to re-
elect themselves. Tho question with each man
should be what be could do for his country, and
i vas the solemn duty Of every citizen to devote
bis country and Of electing an honest man to
the exalted Office Of President. [App1ause.]
HON. MELVILLE ". FULLER
asked if this WAS Government Of the banks or
trated in Pennsylvania could not have been sue
cessfully carried out without money, and that
money was furnished by banks and corporations.
t was their money which elected to the Office Of
Governor, q man who should be in
xssaa epubensRas bnRs'ss Enough Their e
the country to elect nIr. Greeley, il Demo
Gratis only stood up to the rack, and it WAS the
first time Democrats went back on an effort to
secure good and upright Government: 4 wise
Democrats wanted it they could have it with
VT. Greeley. He would vote for him, if no
other Democrat in the country did. fApp1ause.j
The one-term principle, and the reconciliation
OF the whole country we're involved in the cleo
tlon. The country could not be healthy while
nine dead States were in contact with |
1t. The Administration made war |
1T home and reserved pusilanimity for foreign |
nations abroad. The Alabama treaty claimed |
damages and then backed down
just like lawyer who claimed 2500, 600 damages,
and then was satisfied with cent. fLaughterl. !
Ihe result Of the precious contract at Geneva, |
was that Spain was about to claim damages for |
vessels fitted out in this country to engage in |
Tue war for liberty in Cuba. The course Of the |
administration was analyzed at length in an |
eloquent and witty speech
The meeting then adjourned.
