the Courthouse, whore Pnrl.el. Is pa''
welcomed him with musical ovation
After one more tune nom the
band, the large aulience came
IN order, and Major John
Henry Brown introduced the orator OF
the OCCASION In graceful speech,
wherein he alluded to al intimacy
and friendship which subsisted be-
tween himself and Mr.. Schleicher and
which had been the result Of quarter
of century's intercourse, both inpub-
lie and private life.
Mr.. Schleicher then began his nd
dress, which was listened to with
marked attention and only interrupted
by applause. lie said that this was his
first visit to North Texas and his
Journey to Warrington was his first
trip outside of Texas In many years
That while he was elected by one dis
trict he considered himself repre-
sedtative fTexas at large. In travel
ing through the rich and populous
cities, rs well ~ the PROSPEROUS agri'
cultural districts of the North and
West, we could not but fell proud OF
our nationality, and those of us who
had lost our all in the war could not
but see that we had within ourselves
all the elements for full and ample
recuperation.
Mr.. Schleder then passed on to n
review of the history of the late Con
gress. He described the previous cor
ruption which had reigned at Wash
ington, the efforts of the last House to
redeem the taxpayers from the oner-
Gus burdens which had been imposed
by political yenality and official ras-
calty and corruption, the opposition
I which had been met at every step
from Republican Senate, more espe-
0 cially when the question involved the
, investigation Of some recreant official
of the administration. He gave the
Senate scorching rebuke for their
, cowardly retirement behind n mere
technical objection to the validity OF
, their jurisdiction In the case of Belk-
KNAPP, and his consequent acquittal.
He then proceeded to criticize the
powers of HE President, which he de-
clared were beyond those ofany poten
tate in Europe, the Sultan of Turkey
alone excepted. After n few more re-
marks on the failure of the l{epuhli'
cans to take any political steps towards
reform, which he declared to be the
animation of the present political feel
Ing, he earnestly urged upon
the southern people the absolute
necessity Of never giving
their enemies the slightest
D excuse for assuming that they had moi
a fully and entirely accepted the situa
4 ton" He spoke of the condition o
!. South Carolina and Louisiana, and fol
u moment one might have suppose,
i that he was paraphrazing the Language
J., of O'Connel when he reminded Lor,
r Av0nmore of the Attic nights they
D had mutually spent when they weep
!, together over the woes and SORROWS o
a Ireland. He then passed on to n few
remarks concerning his colleagues o
= whom he spoke in the highest terms
! both as men and rs statesmen. III,
|, passed II glowing eulogium on thu
: character of tbs Honorable James w
a rhrockmorton, and affirmed that II,
member of either House had don,
more earnest work for the benefit o
his constituents, or had labored NOR
:, aealously for the welfare of Texas an,
- the country. He closed with som
. apt remarks about the necessity of tn
" election of Tilden and Hendricks, an,
:, believed that the majority Of the Gel
" man vote would be cast in favor OF tn
Democratic standard bearers.
u The Germans assembled in force las
:, night at Turner's hall to listen to tn
