JUDGE ELLETf.
Ju5ge Henry T. Elicit, was the next
speaker introduced. He found in the
result of the ST. Louis convention that
his candidates have been nominated.
Two things are apparent. First, II MIR.
| rilden is elected we are sure of COM
plete reform in every department of the
government. Second, uoder MIR. Til
denis administration the military power
of the government will be su5servient
to the civil power OF the States, and will
not be used to sUbvert the power of the
State governments When a sister
State was under bayonet rule, President
Grant was telegra phing to General Sher-
idan to go on aud subjugate, but Gov
ernor Tilden, of New YORK, at the same
time sent @ mess age to his legislature
denouncipg such sets of Grant as an
usurpation. The Republican party, in
nominating Bsyes, has hid its head in
the sand like the ostrich, but 1t left lis
corrupt body exposed. The party does
this by putting forth its small men
Hayes is q moderate man, OF small
ability, but he is moderate ia nothing
else; ne is not moderate in his views
toward the south. General Grant was
moderate man before he was elected.
President johnson sent General Grant
south to inspect and report as to the
temper OF the southern people. He re-
ported favorsbly and moderately, but
wnen he was elected he at once dis
played malignity toward the south. And
so will Governor Hayes, should he be
elected, because he will be surrounded
by the very same men, aid he must fol-
lay in the footsteps OF his predecessor.
He cannot help himself, because the
President is notify any means free man.
He is governed by the men who sur
round him, by his supporters, aud if he
is not so governed, he will have no sup
pOrters for the second term OF office.
Governor Hayes has committed himself
to the policy of his party in every re-
spect, because he indOrses the Cincinnati
convention, and he must carry out the
principles which MS party has deter
mined to advocate in this canvass.
Blaine in the house OF representatives,
and Morton in the senate have sounded
the keynote OF this canvass. This key
note is based on the principle of hatred
toward the whites OF the sluth, and
these men are not much better friends TO
the black man. They want 10 revive
all the hates, grisfs snd sorrows
that accumulated from the
late war. The speeches of
Blaine and Morton are abominable
in sentiment, ia zone, and are uuchris-
natl convention these two men were the
them Blaine stood charged with max
house and selling them for money. The
Republican party was purely sectional
party in 1860, as it did not have single
they say that the Republican party is
country. Their platform suggests that
cheerful obedience to the government
should be vigorously enforced. By op-
pressing Us of the south they expect to
briug about cheerfuinesS OF disposition. |
a strange result, truly. The platform
i1doraes tae administration of President
Grant, and indOrses the President per-
sonally, and this platform Governor
Hayes indOrsas. By so doing he indorses
q corrupt administration, he indorses
the great gift-takeT of hoasea and lands, |
and OF everything except a bull, pup
upon which the expTes charges had not
been paid 10 advance, bQt had been |
marked &C. O. D." Governor Hayes
ind0rses the most corrupt adminIstrs-
tiOn known in history. Judge Elicit
dis iscussed the Louisiana troubles, and
recounted the Infamous conduct OF Pes
ident Grants personal friends, boLh in
that State aud in Missouri, aud which |
friends he recommended even after they
had been indicted for crimes and mis-. |
demeanOrs. Judge Elicit closed his |
speech amid applause long continued.
The next speaker introduced was
GOVERNOR IsHAM G. HARRIS.

Tilden, of New York, and Governor
OF Indiana, ere presented, 1t |
requires 10 time 10 think, or a moment
to decide, not only to rstify the nOmina-
tous, but 10 ratify them most cordially, |
earnestly and enthusiastically. The
ability and fidelity with which these
gentlemen have performed the high and |
Important trusts heretofore reposed in
them has won for each o! them the
res pect and confidence Of the American |
people. That they are thoroughly |
honest and capable none will deny. |
That they are true TO the great cardinal
of the Democratic party, |
their public acts most abundantly attest.
In ratifying the nomination OF Tilden |
and Hendricks, we mean no mean psrti.
san ind0rsement, we mean more. We
mean to express an earnest, honest and
ardent desiCe for rstrenchment and re-
form in the adm inistration OF our public |
affairs; we mean to express an earnest
desire for the future welfare and pros.
