Judge Payne said Colonel Parsons
would make an admirable officer in case
of civil war, and that he for one would
be in favor ofhaving him move immedi-
ately to the front.
NJ A. Foran wanted TO telegraph to
Speaker Blaine that the Widow Malo-
ney's pig had defeated Parsons.
E. NJ. Brown said that this was the
first election that he had ever voted on
the winning side, and his only regret
was that Charley Babcock would have
to "Move his family West"
It was then announced that at eleven
o'clock Hon. H. B. Payne would speak
in response to serenade from the bal
cony of the Kennard House, and the
crowd accordingly repaired thither.
In the meantime the cannon of the
Light Artillery was brought into service,
and number of guns in rapid success
sion were fred in the Square
AT THE KENNARD HOUSE.
The crowd increased in numbers in
the neighborhood Of the Kennard House,
and by the appointed hour Bank street
was crowded from pavement to pave
ment with dense throng of citizens Of
| both parties.
The music failing 10 arrive and the
crowd becoming impatient, Hon. H. b.
| PAYNE was finally brought forward and
| introduced from the balcony by W. w.
Armstrong, Of the Plain Dealer, who gave
his own paper timely puff by saying it
would contain on the following day the
usual guns and roosters emblematic of
Democratic success.
Mr.. Payne was received with great en-
thusiasm, and after thanking them for
the honor they had conferred upon him,
said that the present contest had been
one of extraordinary interest, and had
been faithfully and fully discussed by the
: people, as shown in their verdict. On
, that day the people of Cuyahoga county
had shown themselves in favor Of re-
form, and the united efforts of the DEM
, ocrats and Liberal Republicans had fixed
} an epoch in the history of reform that
/ had significance far beyond the Twen-
( tieth District 1t was an event that
! would be heard in every portion of the
: country, and indicated the intention of
7 the people TO bring about reform in the
general Governmrnt. The speaker said
( that right there he desired to recognize
; the valuable aid Of his associates, Of the
Plain Dealer, the Central and Executive
Q and Ward Committees, and of all Demo-
r Gratis and Liberal Republicans who had
! assisted him or contributed to the sue
cess of the cause of reform. Great honor
!; was due TO the the Liberal Republicans
5, who had ventured TO swing free from
~ party and permitted their patriotism tC
triumph over party sovereignty. In the
exuberance of their Joy, he thought they
Y, should be kind aad generous and forgiv
n ing to their fallen foes for they were theil
" neighbors and fellow-citizens. He be
'r lieved that nineteen-twentieths of thu
Republicans who voted the straight tick
y, ct, in their secret heart wished heartl
IS, God speed to the efforts of the reform
D. party for success. 1t only remained 70
es them now to unite and maintain thos
public servants who proved themselve
n, worthy by reason of their honesty. Mi
lie PAYNE announced that the principles ad
vocated in his acceptance address woul
y, not, under any circumstances, be depart
IS, ed from. They had challenged the crit
y, cism and invited the approval of the er
tire Democratic and Liberal Republica
ty press of the country, and the pledges b
in had there made he proposed to redeeI
in in the United States Congress. He wl
Ia satisfied that the time had come whe
the earnest and conscientious efforts
eal good men would meet with the fitting a
:. proval they deserved. To friends, OF
n.y. and all, who had known him for so mar
he years, he promised he would represel
them with honor and integrity, and
those who had put forth exertions in h
behalf he expressed his heartfelt graf
m. tude. He was proud of the noble indors
nv ment they had given him. Inconclusi'
