wish to cast no aepersions on the south.
Would to God they were as you are
wish that there man could 90 to the polls
and exercise a freeman's will as you
can here. That is just what the re-
publicans want; that is just what the dem
ociats don't want. The democratic party
of the south planted the tree of secession;
the democratic party of the north watered
it. AS the war progressed the latter with
held from the government all hearty and
loyal support. There were war democrats
a sort of contradiction in tcrms-who did
well in spite of their teachings.
Gen. Bristow continued for about an
hour, but the rest of his speech was practi-
cally the admirable one printed in the GLOBE
last Wednesday morning aud the weekly Of
last week.
In passing, he made a neat alusion to the
nomination in New York, and referred to
Gov. Morgan, the republican nominee for
governor, and his admirable speech at Gin
cinnati when calling together the national
convention, in his capacity of chairman of
of the national committee. unfortunately
Gen. Brislow was go hoarse that but few
very near the stand could hear him but his
magnificent person and frank, manly man
ner kept the vast audience in their places,
never word he said kept place in the
crowd, enchanted by his mere presence.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Bristow's re-
marks the president of the day intro
duced
JUDGE BENHAM,
of Louisiana. He IL man of a little more
than medium hight, with smooth, clearly
cut face, of which firmness Of purpose
and aggressive activity are the principal
charoc eristics, lighted by pair OF deep,
unusually brilliant blue eyes. lis deliv-
cry is easy and fluent, marked by great
vigor and emphasis. He said IN sub

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN Il, in common
with the republicans of Vermont, have lis
tened to five speeches from Mr.. BIistow.
Each has been new and better than the one
which preceded it, begin to think that

they will do more good in the Vermont
campaign than Tilden's barrels of money

But the democrats say that the southern
| states that are democratic are quiet enough.
Yes, they are quiet; but it is the quiet of
the house of mourning, the nuI,t of a bat
tie field at night after a great battle-the
| quiet of death. As southern man | say
TO you that the issue in this canvass is as
much graver than money and reform as
cold-blooded murder is graver than theft.
The question is the protection Of these
| helpless men to whom we have given liber-
| ty from this democracy that kills. l ask
| you to settle it now-not on the score OF
humanity, nor for the sake of the sons you
lost in the war, but for the sake of your
children, who will have to fight it out if
you don't. In the south they are killing
men to-day for opinions sake. There is
but one remedy for this-vote for Hayes
and Wheeler. A ballot for Tiden means a
bullet for this southern democracy that
kills. A ballot for Hayes Is nail in it's
coffin. 1t is difficult TO feel an issue unless
you also see it. There were sixty republi-
cans murdered in Louisiana last winter
You have in Vermont to-day man who
was MANNED and crippled there. When
spoke in Brarteboro the widow of one of
your sons killed there came to me and said:
"Oh, sir, you de know what you are talk
ing about The iron has entered your
soul, and you have seen the truth there as
have felt it," If northern people could GO
down there, there would be no need of
talking, for there would not be a vote for
Tlden.
The remedy for this state of things is a
large republican majority. They are ex-
pccting great tidal wave in the north in
their favor and with the help of few
struggling states here and a united south to
win. Your majority two years ago was
$4,000 If this year it should be but "a
600, they will say "They are supporting
US. If we are solid we shall win. Come
boys. Take your pistols and come out.
Lets have a few more murders" If, on
the contrary, your ma jority is 10000, they
will see that the north is against them and
it's no use, and there will be no more muir
ders Do you realize your task You
must start the tidal wave. Every one
must vote and see that his neighbor votes.
with four more years of republican rule
the democratic feeling at the south will
die, as your memories of dead sons that
were once bitter grow tender with years.
1t is yet too soon after the war 10 put them
in rowrr. Now let every man do his duty
in sepitmber.

At the conclusion Of Mr.. Benhsm's re-
marks Gov. Levi Underwood was intro
duced. He said: Fellow citizens-Last
night finished an open-air meeting at mid
night in the rain. l came here without
sleep expecting to speak and was full of
it. But these gentlemen who have pre-
