1t. III men fully understood and realized
It's fearful blackness, not one single vote
| would be cast for its nominees in Vermont
in September.
| In 1861 every man who supported the
war was democrat. AT that time the
party broke and all in its ranks who were
loyal joined the republican party the rest
were the copperheads of the war. Every
confederate, every man taking arms against
his country was democrat every man in
congress voting against the acts to raise
| men and money to put down the war was
| democrat; every man who sustained the
| rebellion was democrat; since the war
every man resisting the reconstruction acts
has been democrat. THEY a reform par
ty! If ever there was a party in the
world that needed double distilled re-
formation IL is the democratic party. If
there is man that needs reformation here
[slrlklng his heart that man is Samuel j
filden. When he is hung up, as he will
be in November, he will beg iteously for
forgiveness and it may be accorded him
but there is not political salvation enough
in the world to save that man Hendricks.
l ask every soldier who fought With me
in the war, if he can now use his ballot for
the influence of the mtn he fought in the
field. l ask every father who 6, mt his eun
into the field If he can vote for the men that
son fought to defeat. From the host OF
buried heroes comes up t, their comrades
"Stand up and fight for the right as in
1861, and go on as then to victory strive
TO keep that heritage you fought for 50
bravely then" All, my comrades, we will
not forget you. We will stand shoulder to
shoulder once more and fight our old foe,
till they shall say, as they said with you
were with US "The old guard Can die
but they can not surrender"
The speaker then contracted the two par.
ties in 1S64-one on the field of bait e and
the other IN convention in Chicago passing
Iilden's famous peace resolution; reviewed
the democratic convention of 1868; spoke
of the enormous election frauds of
that year in New York, which Tilden was
cognizant of, and with which Col, Joyce,
as member of the committee which has
BEEN investigating them this winter, is
thoroughly familiar; and the campaign of
To, in which the democrats swallowed a
platform and candidate whom they hated,
for tic sake of controlling the govern
ment.
He then took of the record of the great
reform" party in the last congress and
showed that they were incompetent, in FL
cient and venial. They went in as a reform
party under favorable circumstances, had
been in session nine months and had done
absolutely nothing. They elected speak
er for the purpose OF giving the control of
the house into the hands of confederates,
and had given the craftsmanship Of twenty
one committees to southern democrats and
twelve to northern. No man in congress
can get fhc floor unless on one of these
committees. The democrats from New
England and the north had been utterly
ignored. They had promised before cleo
ton to reduce the expenses $40 900, goo,
and they must keep their word or seem To-
They just ran the knife through everything
Unfortunately, and but for the senate
would have closed the postoifices and Grip
Piled the government They struck the
navy yards West Point, the pension Of
fee; cut down salaries of clerks who could
barely live now; tried to cut down
the army, aud then il Tilden was
elected they would fill 1t and officer it
with southern men. And yet they spelt
million dollars in Investigations, every one
of which, with the exception of that Of
Belknap, proved fruitless.
The speaker then recounted graphically
many of the encounters between Blaine and
Hale and Proctor Knott, and other scenes
some of the investigations, saying that il
was apparent that the main object of all OF
them, was to blacken the character of re-
publicans. To this end the country had
been raked from one end to the other for
dead beats and other scoundrels 10 testify
before committees.
He showed by comparative table that
the loss of revenue was much less unier
Grants administration than any previous
one, reviewed the Cincinnati CONVENTION,
spoke of the republican candidates, saying
that after November they would stsni out
as president aud vice president Of thc
United States, and closed by briefly thank
ing the audience for their kindness and at
tention.
The speech was o very eloquent one,
holding the vast audience spell bound for
an hour and half, and was received with
the widest applause. Points that we have
only touched he elaborated fully and made
very interest ing.
His description of the passage at arms be-
tween Blaine and Proctor Knott WIS one
of the most vivid things VIC ever Heard
from the platform in Vermont. The uni
versal Judgment was thai the colonel had
surpassed himself, and he certainly gave
the most rousing campsign speech heard
here this year.
