as serpents, the heads are wagged by the

campaign. Tilden, If he is the purest
man on earth. can hot defy the party that
elects him. If Tlden is elected it will be
by united south and majority of 90

The republican party has chosen for its
standard bearer Rutherford 3. Hayes. The
democrats even can poin; TO no stain on his
record f. j. Phelps recently called him

the worst charge they can bring against
him. He has been three times governor
of Ohio, twice elected to congress, and was
four years in the war. Is that obsCurliy?
If any democrat wants to know who be is
let them ask Pepdleton, or Thurman, or
Bill Allen. They all know him. Yes, and
Ben Hill knows bin, too. On receiving
the news of his nomination, he said, with
his usual birthstone emphasis Good

AT the opening of the war he was n ran
of wealth and surrounded by a family, but
instead of saying, "Boys, go to the war;
I'll pay your bills and make patriotic
speeches., he said Come" and marched
10 the front and stayed four years, because
like the men Of 1776, he believed in The
justice of the cause. Instead Of making
speeches he wrote his famous scalpng let

A year ago, when the conflict was be-
tween honest money and rag money, he

victory, as he will lead the party OF the
country in November. The republican

next speaker gentleman whom he thought
all would be glad to hear,
HON. T. W. PARK,
who spoke substantially as follows:
Mr.. President When accepted your
invitation to address this meeting did not
expect 10 make a speech--in fact, ! have
never made political speech / came in
| simply to talk with the people as to their
duty. l came to talk with democrats, if
there are any here, and to reform republic
cans; for if it were only for talking with
republicans, | wouldn't detain you on this
warm night. If there are any of these
democrats or reform republicans who have
not found out what TIER duty is, want TO
talk with them.
| In this state we do our voting in Septem-
her. The balance of the states do theirs in
| November. Vermont will certainly vote
for Hayes and Wheeler, the question only
being one of ma ority. If, then, we are
sure of the state, why seek to enlarge cut
vote? For the reason that we open the
ball. The eyes of the Union are upon us,
and they are now talking of our majority.
Democrats upon the stump, in everysNa'e,
from Maine to Georgia, will be figuring
with pencil and paper the probable states
