TO elect men like Tilden and Hendricks,

The Democratic party desire 70 nave

not only in name, but in fact. AS In
1860, when some of those present were
ready to defend the Union, they must
now unite to fight for peace and harmony
The Republicans speak of the Ionic
derate element which, should the Demo-
Gratis come in to power, would be repre-,
sented in official capacity in our national
Offices. The General remainded the aud
ience of the Louisiana case, when the
people were deprived of their choice Tor
governor, by a Presidential interference,
how quietly, they abided in the decision
of higher court, showing desire on the
part of the people of South to have peace,
and live in peace. As to the payment OF
the Confederate States debt, OF which
some lunatic Radicals love to speak,
it is
AN ABSURD AND LAUGHABLE POINT
In the first place is an amendment to
the United States Constitution torbddlng
it, and secondly the Northern and South |
ern people would never pay a debt which
has been annulled by defeat at war;
and destruction of the Confederate gov
ernment. The same can be said IN |
regard of remuneration for property des'
troyed in the late war. The Speaker. IN
conclusion, made most earnest appeal
TO the Germans of Indiana toplace them
selves en- masse with the reform move
ment and vote for Tilden and Hend-
Ticks.
PULITZER AT ZANESvILLE.
On the 23d Mr.. Pulitzer made one OF
the greatest speeches of the campaign at
GAINESVILLE in which he utterly demolish-
ed Schurz. His comparison OF the views
of Morton and Schurz in the present
campaign are so excellent that we make
room for them. After reviewing Schurz
past record he sold:
Here, then, Mr.. Schurz reaftlrms all
he said about Morton & Company four
years ago; yet while he then charged
them with threatening the very existence
of free institutions" he to day follows
their lead, pleads for the candidate they
have nominated, an administration they
would control and party they abolutely
rule and in which Mr.. Schurz cannot
have the slightest influence, as he him
self openly proclaims not to belong to it;
on the contrary, still sharply critlclses It,
Now, the dilemma in which Mr.. Schurz
finds himself again is that he first oppos-
es party, distinctly disavows to belong
to 1t, but, on the contrary, claims to be |
acting outside cf it as an independent"
yet supports that party's candidate, nay
even dares to promsse what that partys |
candidate will do agoinst the wish of the
party leaders. Mr.. Morton is by univer.
sal consent, the most prominent leaders
of that party to day. His mastery of the
party is undisputed; what he says, there
fore, may we'll be considered authoritative
so far as the Republican party is con-
cerned. If Mr.. Schurz is the most dis
tinguished advocate Of Hayes, outside Of
the party, Mr.. Morton is certainly the
most distinguished advocate inside of it.
Now, listen, how these two great men
agree, who are united in the same cause,
and both work with an ardor worthy of a |
better cause. (Laughter.) Mr.. Schurz
said, even in his recent Cincinnati
speech.
Never was there civil service system
invented so utterly absurd and barbar-
Gus in conception, so ruinous in operation
and so universally demoralizing in eff
feet"
Mr.. Morton answers: "Our civil ser.
vice is the best the sun ever shone upon.
Laughter
Mr.. Schurz says, "The resolution in
the National Republican platform ex-
pressing indiscriminate approval of Gen.
Grants Administration was weak con-
cession to the established party usage of
courtesy at the expense Of truth, and a
Misrepresentation of public sentiment,
felt to be such by large majority of
those who assented to it.
Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Hayes himself
calls Mr.. Schurz a liar by cordially
thanking General Grant for his immense
services and his excellent administra-
tion." Great laughter.
Again Mr.. Schurz says. "The Admi-
