OF Bennington, the demOCfatlc nominee LOT
congress, who was received with great APP
plause. Mr.. Childs occupied over an hour
in repeating the speech which he delivered
here three or four weeks ago, and por-
ton of which he gave to the convention in
the afternoon. II was amplifed and Illus
trated in places with new humorous stories
and local illusions, and was received with
frequent and rapturous bursts of applause.
1t is very admirable speech in itself, but
as we published an abstract of it on the
former occasion we will not repeat it now.
The next speaker introduced was
EDWARD t. WILDER
of New York. Mr.. Wilder made the sue
cess of the evening, giving a capital stump
speech-iudged from his side Of the eau
vass, of course-short, sharp, pointed and
at times eloquent. After apologizing for
taking the time of the audience so late at
night, he said that he was an independent
voter, as he presumed most of his audience
were. He voted tor Grant four years ago
and he didn't intend TO repeat the blunder
this time, or vote for Hayes, which would
be the same thing. He considered the old
party ties broken. The republican party
came into power to put down slavery, and
that being done, they stayed TO hang onto
the offices. To keep these Offices they try
to make us believe that the war is not over.
They want the war, like John Brown'ssoul,
to Ego marching on" after the body is
crumbing IN ashes if they might only keep
their places. The war is over. IL you
want to see an end of it, for Gods sake act
as if it was over. Treat the southern peo-
pie like brothers and not like conquered
slaves. The man we want for president
now Is financier and statesman, not n sol
der or a man to whom we give the Office
as reward for war services. Grant was
good soldier, and what kind of a president
has he madep
The republicans admit that Tilden is
wise man. With the canning born Of de-
spair they say he is too wise he is "wiry'
and "wily" You want willy man, one
that can't be imposed on. not one innocent
as dove like Grant, of whom we shall
have to be crying out in excuse for his in
competency, "Oh, he's been imposed on :"
A man who won't have TO ask congress to
pass an act to prevent his being imposed
upon. Tilden is 80 willy that all the thieves
have worked against him from the start
that is reason why honest mtn should
support him.
II is urged that Tilden waA friead OF
Tweed. Why at one time we ali trusted
and believed in Tweed. Then Tilden dis
trusted him. His efforts against Tweed
and the Tweed charter first brought bin
into prominence in this generation Oi poll
ticians. / know him, aud tell you that
his election means reform-real reform
not the kind we have before every election
1t means good government. In New York
we have had a better state government
under him than for twenty years. We
want to send a man TO Washington with
the instincts of gentleman; man who
will know rogue when he sees him, and
won't have to apologize and say he was
imposed upon.
/ find, too, that this administration is al
together too anxious for Hayes election.
Republicans want change, on yes! But
TO get change they have appointed Zach
Chandler, Grants right hand man, high
cockolorum aud supreme boss of their cam
paign. That looks like a change. All
the thieves want Hayes elected. - rose
under any other name wouli smell as
sweet" and under Hayes you will get the
odor of Grantism, which has degraded our
bonds so that They are risky in foreign
markets, and which makes 1t humiliGting
for a respectable American to 90 abroad.
1t isn't fair because man didn't 60 to
the war to say he isn't fit for Office. Don't
forget that the war is over ard we want
statesmen and not generals. While the re-
publicans have not one principle for which
the party was started, the demo Gratis still
believe as they always have in local self
government. The republicans have up
rooted this in the south and established in
It's stead centraism. They would do it
Just as soon in Vermont il they thought
| necessary to carry the election.
The speaker then denounced in unmeas-
| ured terms what he called the infamous
| Wheeler compromise, by which the people
IF Louisiana have been deprived of the
| government they elected and another put in
It's place.
We all want the debt paid but we elect
| representatives to congress for that con-
| gress controls the finances, not the presi-
| dent. We need clean administration, and
| a president who will Tetrench to save
money to pay the debts with. For that
end want you all to vote with me for
Samuel j. Tilden.
A campaign poem was then read by G.
s. Mason of Ludlow, srraigning the present
administration for corruption, and promis
ing better things after that glorious day
ON which Uncle Sammy shall be elected.
Mr.. Burke of Middlebury was the next
speaker, and in fifteen minutes speech
arraigned the present administration fol
its shortcomings, after which Mr.. Reding-
ton read the following resolutions, which
were proposed and adopted by the conven-
ton committee.
Resolyed-That the nominees of the St
Louis convention for president and vice
president of the United States are eminent
ly worthy of the support of all honest free
men, without distinction of party, and w
have reason TO feel confident that the ad
minstration of Tilden aud Hendricks will
be one of the wisest, purest, and best sinc'
the days of George Washington.
| Resolced, That the national house Of rep
resentatiyes merits the commentator o
all good citizens for their steadfast deyo
ton to the interests of the people agains
persistent opposition in the reduction o
taxation, whereby millions of burden hay
been lifted from too long mlsgoverne'
and oppressed people.
ResOired, That we hereby pledge on
cordial support to the state, CONFESSIONS
and local nominees Of our party, which
the party of reform and honest govern
ment.
