| think Tilden, in his letter, will cut loose
from Hendricks, and taking Jeffersonan
stand declare for specie payments and
civil service reform. We had specimen
of democratic civil service in Washington
in the discharge of the old Union soldiers
about the house and the substitution In
in their places of ex-confederatee. An in
cident occurred here A gentleman said
that there were republicans holding office
and drawing pay in New York, but
another. better informed wagered that no
| such thing was true, and, on investigation,
it proved that the only republican serving
! the state of New York under the present
| regime did 30 without pay.
Tilden claims TO be Jeffersonian, jack
sorian democrat, but with his first milk he
drew in the pernicious doctrine that "to
the vctors belong the spoils" 1t is cool
to ask intelligent American citizens to vote
for him as representative of civil service
reform.
have tried to treat the subject fairly.
Clamor should go for nothing in this CAM
paigu. and thought should come into play.
And, IL Vermont is true to her record, as
thank God she will be, when the sun goes
down on next election day. the majority
for Hayes and Wheeler will be of the same
kind as she has ever given since lS4S.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Chittenden'e
speech, the band, by request of the presi-
dent, played "Iail to the chief" in honor
of Hon. Rutherford b. Hayes. Pitt. w.
Hyde of Casileton, then called for Trenor
W. Park, the name being received with
great applause. Mr.. Park was called to
the platform but had left the hall.
The chairman then introduced
PROFESSOR JOHN NJ. LANGsToN,
who occupied a half hour very eloquently
and acceptably. He SAID he agreed with
what Mr.. Chitenden had said, and esreci-
ally with his references to Gen. Grant. In
looking over the present administration,
we find that the revenues were never col
lected and expended with so little loss as
under President Grants administration.
The loss is now 81 cents in thousand dol
lars, to S5.17 under a democratic admins
tratiOD. The management of affairs has
been characterized by ability and integrity.
President Grant is not only himself honest
but he has endeavored TO inculcate honesty
into the civil service. for one have the
greatest gratitude TO Gen. Grant, and l
know that the entire negro race will always
he grateful to him next to Lincoln. l care
not what the democrats say about him. 1t
is natural they should find fault with him.
Bad men always abuse good. Tilden love
Grant Impossible Hendricks love
Grant? 1t cannot be. The democratic
party love republicans Not at all.
The speaker then reviewed the St. Louis
platform, repeating his criticism of the af-
telnoon. After being beaten in the field,
this party come and demand-not ask for
"a peaceable, civic revolution" which
means turning out republicans and substi-
tutng democrats. Lamar, the matchless
orator, in his speech stating the position of
the party, says: "We demand that the
general government shall give the southern
states state governments and then let them
alone" They want to get rid of the carpet
baggers because the negro loves the carpet
bagger-and votes the republican ticket.
This moral revolution means that the posi-
ton of our candidates, Mr.. Hayes and Mr..
Wheeler, in regard to the south shall be
abandoned, and the old slave olgarchy re-.
turn to power.
They also demand a change of parties,
men and members. Shall we help this
change along, and install this democratic
party which has been false to all the prin-
ciples held dear by Americans and taught
by our fathers? 1t seems to me that no
American loving his country and holding
her honor dear, can vote the democratic
ticket. Much depends on your example.
If your majority is large the effect will be
felt. 1t will inspirit the people of the
whole country.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Lsngstons adj
dress the chairman read telegram from
Col. Charles ii. Joyce, to the district con-
vention, not received in time to be read to
that body:
To tie President Of Tie republican district
contention, first congressional district of
Vermont, Rutldnd.
Have Just received telegram announc-
ing my denomination, be pleased to return
my warmest thanks 10 the convention and
say that l accept the nomination with the
deepest gratitude.
CHARLES ii. JOYCE
The reading WAS followed by great ap-
plause.
The chairman announced that T. W.
Park would address the young mems
Hayes and Wheeler club at the Town hall
on Monday evening next.
He then said that Judge Benham, Of
Louisiana, was on the list of speakers, but
he was detained by illness, and he would
call on one Of the going men,
LUCIUs BIGELow,
of Burlington. Mr.. Bigelow tried 10 ex-
cuse himself, but the calls were persistent,
and every sound Of his voice was greeted
by applause, and he finally took the plat
form. His speech was the hit Of the even
ing. 1t was very brief, devoted TO
the humor and sentiment of the
campaign, aud carried his audience
from convuls NJ of laughter almost
instantly to the verge Of tears. No
abstract could begin to do justice to the
address, and we shall attempt to reproduce
nothing but one illustration.
He said the situation reminded him of a
scene in New York police court. Two
Irlshwomen had been arrested for fighting.
when the Judge asked Mrs. Maloncy to tell
the circumstances.
'Well, you see, your honor, was going
down sthreet wild me basket of fish and
who should | meet but Mrs. O'Flaherty.
Good day, says l.
'Throth an II liz, foine day. says size.
'Will you be after buyin' me fish ?
saysI.
'Throth an | will no., says she.
For why 2's aysI
They're sphoiled, says she.
you lie = says l.
'Whoo-op!" snys she, and we had it,
The fun of the story lies in the applica-
ton. We hear, every Decoration day, lots
of slush, cheap sentiment and weak poetry
about crossing hands over the bloody
chasm,' the blue and the gray lying side
by side, and the green grass creeping up
through the cold, unfrendly earth, over
them, and all that sort of thing.
