The Speaking Last Night.
The Courthouse last evening was
filed to it's utmost capacity by nm mp
prcciatirc audience Of both p.Nes, who
hnd assembled to listen to on address
from Hon. A. @. Ellis, Democrats nom-
inee for Congress from this Stnte. At
the hour appointed STr. Ellis touk the
stand, und IN mnsterly speech Of one
hour, discussed the min political
issnesr both National aud State,
which nro now engaging general
attention. Mr.. Ellis is vigorous anu
impassioned speaker, handling the vari-
GUS questions untlrr review like ono
who had studied them deeply in nll
their bearings upon the puplic veal,
aud being imbued with tho conscious.
ness that hc WIS right in his deductions,
detied my man or political party to ns-
Snult Ills position successfully. In ref
erencc to the silver question, n matter
III which our State has pcculinr interest,
the speaker dwett Mt length, producing
the most indubitable evidence TINT the
National Democracy, IRE pledged to q
policy calculated TO not only enhance
the value of our chief product, but ut
tue same time foster aud protect the in.
diridual interests Of the mhsScs OF tho
people, in cOntrudis,inotion from tho
financial course now being pursued By
the party in power, through which those
interests nro made suLservient to tho
will Of the corporations aud heavy
rhoneycd powers Of tho land. His AZ
pose OF that miserable fraul-the 60
called Resumption Act-wns complete
and exhaustive, demolishing utterly.
the false theories respecting it,
by which dclnasogues have
sought to deceive the public
mind. Tho inuumeraLle evidences. of
wholesale corruption which parIneatcs
every department Of tho Government
nEIer its present administration, were
torcibly urged ~ proof of tho impern-
tive necessity for speedy change, and
the spotlass record Of the Democratic
nominee for the highest National posi-
ton WINS II guarantee that under his
direction, tho desired reforms would rs.
suredly be brought about. In reference
to tn" Chinese Immigration question tho
declarations of the National Denocrocv
as we'll as those Of the paciiic coast are
pronounced, mud experience has proven
that for nny abatement Of this peculiar
and crying evil the people OF this coast
must look to CouSTuss alone.
The address il ole OF tho very best
we have listened to during tho cam.
pnign, md was attentivcly anil rnrn-
estly listened to throughout by the Gu
tire audience. - l.

The Speaking Last Night.

The meeting Of The Tildrn Reform
Club Mt the Court house last night was
one Of tho plehsantest us we'll ny one
Of the largest that has assembled here
during tho campaign. An unusually
lnrge number Of ladies' grnccd the ns.
scmblngo with their presence, uul the
temperate and well.timed remarks OF
the speakers were listened to with
that earnest attention which nh appeal
to mems reason alone, can command.
On being introduced to his audience,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, after few intro.
ductory remarks, proceeded to
briefly review the claims Of the
two contending political parties to the
support and suffraSes Of the American
people, and TO analize the character md
achievements OF The two men who nre
now aspiring 10 the highest position
Within tho gift Of the American people.
While referring in most respectful terms
to tho past record Of Nj. Hayes, II was
shown that, by comparison with that OF
Mr.. Tilden, IN point Of legal or execu.
tive nbility, it fell far shot, for while
the latter Ind given proof positive OF the
possession of all those qualities which
fit man for the trying position Of n
great len,ler, the former, though having
had abundant opportunity, had never
risen above the plane oil mediOcriiy. II
was further argued that in tho present
crisis OF our political nffuirs, it Is all
important that strong. positive man,
with an iron will and that high moral
courage which would prompt him to at.
tnck corruption wherever found, and to
sustain him Though RELENTLESS war foI
its overthrow, was alone qualified to ef
feet the great reform in tho admins
irntion upon whicl depends the pros
pcrity,lt not the very life, Of tho milton
1t was held that Mr.. TIIden does possess
these qualities. and That too, to IN ex.
trnordinnry degree, and therefore, that
tho reins OF the Government would Lt
snfer in his hands thnn i'll those Of nh
other. Tho speech was brief, logical
and entirely free from any Of those bit
ter nllusions 30 we'll calculated to ar
ronsu tho partisNnI passions, and We
very much doubt il the most rutlicl
Republican within the sound OF iht
speakers voice, could have found pee
upon which to have hung fnult.
At The conclusion Of Mr.. kirkpatrick
Remarks, our young 'townsmnm, Mr. j
W. Dorsey, took the stand, and in 4
speech Of thirty minutes duration, re
viewed the slanderous chnrgcs brough
10y bis political enemies agains
MIR. Samuel J. Tilden, and after con
victing through its own cxpressiO,
tho Now York Times Of IT'S basoness-i
being largely instrumental In tlisseniit

ncr proceeded TO show the nuimu
which prompted the circulation Of thGs
vile reports. Mr.. Dorsey is yet n youn,

About 80 Inst night. aud just as the
freight train No. 8 pulled ont for the
west, cries Of distress were heard pro.
ceeding from the vicinity of the middle
depot building, AMI nearly opposite to

cries ran to the spot and found man
lying partially on tho truck, who had
just been run over by some of the cars.
Although friShtfully mangled, he was
still sufficiently conscious to nsk for
water, and in II few words to give in-
formation regarding the cause Of his
terrible condition. The poor fellow
was Immediately conveyed to the
County Hospital, where Doctors Mcigs
md Huntington were in few moments
in attendance. 1t appears TINT the un-
fortunate man, in attempting TO board

footing nnd fell beneath the cars, the
wheels passing over his lower limbs,
crushing the right close up to the trunk,
niid the left at the knee joint. The
