of the party generally and the question
If finance particularly, on which latter
Orbisct he was evidently at home.
I nnctor Hszlett, who was evidently great
IL istieued from the effects OF his long
,,ae from Hamilton, spoke very briefly,
Int polutedly. He was listened to with
,bs greatest attention and was loudly
suusuied at the conclusion of his re-
marks, Of which We regret to say that we
are unable to give synopsis, as the hall
vas 80 crowded that we were not able
to struggle to the platform until the
Doctor had almost concluded.
Judge Corson then introduced Mr..
WOodburn, who was received most cor
daily. He commenced by saying that
this was his first visit to Phoebe, and
that he was commissioned by Mr..
Bishop, his late competitor, to say that
.he latter was standing in and support
ing the ticket with all his might. Mr..
Woodburn then referred to his political
career, stating that he had been charged
With being blatant Secessionist. That
vas not true. as the twenty-seven good
nd true Republicans who supported
bin from Storey county could testify.
BE had been Democrat, but was al
ways Union man, and had raised q
company of volunteers in California.
He then gave his reasons for leaving the
Democratic party in 1872, showing that
the views of that party were variable and
uncertain; that all the great measures
enacted since 1861 were due to the Repub-
lcan party, and that the Democratic
party must have been in error, for it
first opposed and then adopted them.
He left the Democratic party without any
hope Of reward as he was enjoying H.
ratiye position. He had no reason to
and did not regret his action, even il he
be beaten at the polls. He then showed
the contradictory nature of the platform
laid down by the Democrats in different
parts Of the country. Here for specie
payments, there for imitation, in one
place for no tariff, in another for high
protective duties. In all there was no
consistency or reliability. especially in
regard to the payment of the public debt.
Some wanting to practically repudiate it,
others to pay it in coin. The speaker
exposed these inconsistencies and the in
furious effect on, the shock that Ameri-
can credit would receive by the indorse-
ment Of such dangerous doctrines. That
all the Democratic party desired was a
return to power, and in its endeavors to
crafty that wish that it had performed
some singular ground and lofty
tunbing. That the Democracy Of to-
day was not OF the Jacksonian stamp
lumovable meeting the storm of opposi-
ton without tlinching. On the contrary,
twas pepper and salt fusing connubi-
aling affair, that was one thing to-day
ana another tomorrow. 1t claimed that

showed that it had originated in and was
enforced by the Republican party. Mr..
WOODBURY. then passed TO the status of
naturallzed citizens when they revisited
their native land. This had been fixed
by the Republican party, though the
Democrats had evidently neglected it.
he also referred to the treatment OF
Northern and foreign born Democrats
by the chivalry wing of the party; the

WOODBURY. then reviewed Bradley's ad.

telling hits, showing that the prosperous
