by Judge Tilden, and after few words as To the
purpose OF the meeting he introduced Henry Bal

on the issues OF the day. His speech was ably

trouble our democratic friends To answer. lie
said the purpose OF the gathering was to enable
the people 10 vote intelligently at the coming
election lie reviewed the history of the Repub-
lican and democratic parties, leaving 1t for the
people to choose between them. lie said the Re

democrats had contended for had been buried out
OF sight, while Republican principles were alive
and enduring, The brightest page in the history
Of the nation will be that which recorded the Or

the obscurity" Of Governor Hayes he said he
was well enough known to prominent democrats,

Republican Rally.


ON Wednesday evening last a large number Of
people gathered ON the Common to listen to re
marks on the political issues Of the day, from
General John L. Swift, Of Boston. Seats were
provided for the audience and the weather was
Of the best sort for an outdoor meeting. We
give brief abstract of General swift's remarks
The speaker said that the orator Of 1875 would
have much Of which TO tell ~ having happened
in this present age lie would tell Of the great
civil war and IL results to the country Of n vast
railway that had been stretched from ocean to
ocean; Of a country with honor unspotted. An
bitterness and hate will he forgotten then. There
will be silence then a. To the record Of the demo-
cratic party during this time but glory will crown
the crest Of the Republican party The demo-
Gratis tell us they want our votes because they are
going into the work Of reform They want us to
drop the curtain over the past-shake hands over
the bloody chasm-and not go back 10 rake up
the records Of the past They claim more purity
than ever any party did before them. They say
that because a sound party has made n mistake,
it should be turned ont at once. We can't see
why 1t should be &c., We want to turn out the
bad and save the good They talk Of hard times,
etc a. the result Of the war Well, zee did not
claim that they are the party for economy-that
they will reduce expenses at once Heaven spare
us from such economy Hut the worst assault
on the crodulity Of the country is to call that
party a heayen-bop party-just the party for
this occasion Looking at the composition Of the
party-made up Of those who have recently been
rebels and the ignorant classes Of the country
1t is useless to hope for reform through them.
tThe speaker then gave some statistics 10 show
what the democrats had done in the way Of re-
ducing expenses in places where they were domi-
nant For evidence Of their work, we can look
at the present democratic branch Of Congress.
This is leaf in our history which sckens
and saddens all who read IT, They promised
/ great things 8ad what have they done2 They
have wasted great deal Of time in Investigations
/ and gone into retrenchment much TO the disad-
vantage Of the nation. They have turned out the
| boys IN blue, who preserved the nation, 10 make
room for those who sought to destroy it, These
are the reformers Of civil service The speaker
/ then spoke at some length Of Tilden and Hen
bricks az men who were unfit to be at the head
I Of the nation, giving short account Of the past
record Of each, in contrast with that OF the Re.
I publican candidates lie closed his remarks with
/ eloquent words Of praise for the heroes Of the
country, and said the Republican party could
proudly claim that the man whom it had put at
the head Of the ticket had proved himself hero
In the dark days Of the countrys history.
At the close Of the speech, three rousing cheer
were given for Hayes and Wheeler and the crowd
dispersed
