SOLID TRUTHS BY SENATOR
(;ONKLIN(s.

On the evening of October at Utica,
N. V, Senator Conkling addressed
large and enthusiastic meeting OF
Republicans. That speech is reported
in the New York Herald Of October 4,
and we make the following extracts
from the said report:
SERMONS in STONES.
1t has been said there are sermons
in stones there are sermons in the
stones which have been hurled at
Grant aud his administration ana
when the passionate .iiscords ana self
ish hates and rivalries and hollow
pretentions of to-day are dead, these
stones will be gathered to raise mon
umeut to one OF the truest, most lear
less patriots who ever served his
country. Extenuating no case oil
fraud or crime and knowing with
shame and sorrow that individuals
holding official trusts have been guilty
of detestable jobbery, l still ask
whether the nation is likely to profit
bv being given into the keeping OF
those who in field and forum have
been on the bad side in the vital trials
of the last twenty years? ls there
nothing more deserving OF consider
alton than the filthy doings OF few
disyraced individuals? Shall We look
at the docket of the police court to
learn the movements Of State or Of q
nation? ShaI: we judge commu.
nity by the pickpockets who infest 1t
REPEATING sPECIALPAYAENTs.
Look out and see what has been
done now recently. The public credit.
has been raised till We have nego-
tiated bonds bearing only four ana
half per cent interest to take the place
of those which have exacted six per
cent. Here is q saving Of interest and
taxes worth celebrating. VIII the
party which has preached repudia.--
ton and imitation be likely to improve
on this?
Legislative and administrative &C
ton has been taken to make every
people as good a. gold within the next
three years. The democrats voted
against tho act, denounced it and IN
the branch Of Congress in which they
had the power passed an act OF repeal,
and both their candidates and their
platform indorse this action. Will
democratic ascendancy hasten specie
payments and the restoration OF busl-
ness on q solid, lasting basis?
DEMOCRATS SOLID ON SOUTHERN CLAIMS
Southern claims. estimated at up
ward Of 1000, OOO, O0O, GOO, are coming
from every region on wnicn INC
Union army camped, or marched, or
fought. cannot remember a case In
which the vote of democrat in Con-
gress has been cast against q bill TO
pay Southern war claim; as rule
such bills have always received the
solid democratic vote. Many such
claims, being within the law, get
through both houses; some got
through which should not, and when
the President discovers such one he
vetoes it. Is q democratic President
likely to veto such bills7
The South demands that s., 0Oo, OOO
collected as tax on cotton shall De
paid back. They ask it in thirty year
bonds to bear five per cent interest IN
gold, the principal and interest OF
which at the end Of the time would
amount to $1,000 900. They say cot
ton is a product of the earth and
should never have been taxed. Pc
troleum is a product of the earth too,
of the Northern earth, that was taxed
in all it's forms and stages, and nobody
proposes to refund the millions 1t
paid. Yet bills are pending to take
the cotton tax out of the treasury and
return it to the cotton States. Would
you select democratic President to
veto such bills?
A House bill proposes to refund the
Southern portion of the direct tax lev
led on all the States in 1861. The
Southern share was $500, 600; the
North paid $17,O0O,OO0. But no one
proposes to reimburse Northern
States. How would q democratic
President treat this matter?
