TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRBUNE
WORCESTER Mass, Sept. 22.-The gathering OF
Democrats at Worcester today almost 1000 OF
Them looked very much like the representation OF
successful party one to which defeat was stranger,
and one which could not now for moment enter
tain doubt of victory. 1t was a truly Democratic
gathering and the season was one OF free speech
and loud expression of the voice Of the people.
Looked at from every point of view, the party has
good reason to be satisfied with tho action of its
representatives to-day. They have nominated
Gov. CASTOR, as every one knew they would,
and believing him, too, to be the strong
est candidate in tho whole State. They
have put upon the ticket with him a solder
whose bravery became famous all over the country,
and man who was the first to offer the right hand
to those against whom he fought-a man who nom
ored their bravery and would do nothing to hlmlll-
ate them. The party have declared in the strongest
possible terms that bad faith and reputation are
opposed to the true principles OF the Democratic
party.
No one anticipated for a moment that the IMITATION
chmera would show its head at all but tho Hon.
John X. Tarbox who drew the resolutions, said that
he should make it as strong declaration i'll favor Of
oio
irredeemabo paper currency az it was possible Tor
the English language to make 1t. Nhcn the reSolu-
tous were read the the currency was received
with especial enthusiasm.
motion had been made to adopt the whole OF
them, when Mr.. Nathan III. Clark of Lynn, the can
didae for State Treasurer last year. moved that the
third be cut out He SAID he had no hope that the
Convention would take the stand that it ought, but
he hoped they would not commend the policy OF
Grants Administration. He thon went over the
stale stuff about the laboring men paying dollar
where they only receive half or quarter OF one.
His remarks elected few scattering cheers.
There was rush for the floor as he sat down, but
Charles Levi Woodbury. recognized. He said
that they had seen the Administration diligently
put up tho value of tho bondholdcrs dollar for
long time without doing anything but they were
going to give the workingnan az good dollar al
the bondhoder, and they intended to stand by the
Chicago and Baltimore platforms of 1872
There were cries for Tarbox, and he he at first
refused to speak, but finally came forward. lie said
that they had reallirmed the good old Democratic
doctrine of honesty and integrity. He was born
Democrat and had always been Democrat but II
the Democratic party should cut loose from the rock
of hard money he should stay upon it. This fin
ished Mr. Clark, and when the question was put.
Immediately after, on the adoption of the resolu-
tons, his was the solitary voice that was raised
against them.
