.he views and customs oil southern Dom |
Dcrats, knows that the man who shoves the
plane, wields the hammer, or holds the plow
Is prescribed and driven from respectable
society" Wealth, education, refinement,
and talent nre not sufficient, in the estima-
ton OF those leaders and controllers OF the
Democratic party, to give "respectability"
10 those who earn their bread by the sweat
Of their brows. They look upon the "nig-
ger" Hs they call the ignorant and degra
ded freedmen, as the true type OF the labor
ing classes and the moment the white man
to earn an honest living by
hard work, he is clnssed among the mig
gers" and treated even worse than thoy.
How il is possible Tor any intelligent labor
er TO vote to place the Government into |
the hands Of men entertaining such views, /
so directly at war with the fundamental |
principles upon which the freedom OF the |
people rests, he could not understand. He |
made briet reference to the fact that these |
same Confederate Democrats who control |
the Democratic party and prescribe labor,
have always and do nowoppose free schools. |
They understand that general intelligence |
will not sanction the prescription of labor
that our common school system leaves no
room Tor the growth Of aristocracy-hence |
their war upon free schools.
At the close OF Mr. HIS speech he re-
minded the meeting that the selection Of a
Recording Secretary was next in order, and
JAS. TIMMoNs was elected
On motion, the chair appointed Messrs.
l.. NJ. HUNT, j. o. TRoUP, J AS. p. AvERILL,
A. NJ, RUSSELL and +. G.. BEACH q COM
mittee on permanent organization and to
draft a constitution and bylaws for the
government of the Club.
On motion, petition was circulated and
the Republicans present signed their names
declaring their intention to become mem-
bers OF the Club. As the paper was being
returned to the Secretary's table calls were
heard from the audience for speech from
f. HoLLENBECK, Esq Upon repeated
calls that gentleman stepped to the front
and remarked that he had not reflected
upon single thought to present upon the
occasion, but on moments reflection he
presented several both terse and pointed.
lie said the Democrats i'll Congress have
been spending hundreds of thousands OF
dollars and raking through all the slums
of corruption to obtain filth with which
TO smear the characters of those leading
Republicans who were mentioned in con-
nection with the Cincinnati nomination,
and when HAYES was made our standard
bearer they were completely confounded-
their labor was lost, and instead of placing
the Republican party on the defensive,
they found themselves confronted by n
man against whose private and public rec
ord not single objection can be raised.
They find themselves compelled to take
the defensive, covered with oGium, and
supporting issues which arc repugnant to
free men and at war with free institutions
lie paid glowing tribute to BLAINE, ex-
pressing great admiration for the mastery
manner in which the ex-Speaker had
driven back the shiny hordes Of his assail-
ants, and then spoke at some length upon
the points made by the President, remark
ing that the prominent and alb absorbing
questions in the campaign relate to labor
and education. The two are closely allied I;
labor cannot be degraded except through
the ignorance of the people, and the South
ern Democrats, who control that party, for
the purpose of building up an aristoc-
racy, would crush out free schools and
degrade labor that the many may become
hewers of wood and haulers of water for
the few.
Mr.. II. closed his remarks and the Clul
adjourned to meet at Messrs. Cook Il
TRoUP's Office on Thursday evening to
hear the report of the committee on per
mancnt organization.
