Gen. E. F. Noyes, ex-governor Of Ohio
having been chosen permanent chairman,
on assuming the chair said: -
My telioc:eiti.eas:-I thank you most
heartily for the very great and unexpect-
ed honor done me. We are assembled to
take counsel together as we did during
the stormy years OF war. We are
here to deliberate as to our duty
In the most Important political cam.
paign Of this generation. Which Of
the two great parties, and which Of
the candidates can best answer the rea-
sonable demands Of the people. The
history OF q party Is better than its plat
form. The life Of a candidate is better
Than his letter Of acceptance.
He at some length compared the
records Of the two parties during the
war, giving unneasured pra ise to the
tens Of thousands Of Democrats who re-
sponded 10 the call, and denouncing the
coursc Of, Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas
A. Hendricks. he answered the cry

was 70, stop shedding innocent blood.
Whenever our Southern people shall re-
spect the laws and, the constitution, then
we will forgive the past, and never again
from our lips will be heard one word
about the issties Of the war or the bloody
shirt. (Cheers.l But until a Northern
Republican or colored man can speak
and vote in the South as the rebel does in
the North, you may expect TO hear about
the war and the bloody shirt He claim.
ed that the magnanimity Of tho Republi.
can party to the South was unparalleled
in history. He then commented on the
action Of the lower House Of Congress in
replacing the Northern soldiers with the
Coniederates, and made special reference
to the speech Of Ben Hill, and thought
in view OF the events. Of the last twelve
months perhaps u amistake had been made
innot hanging six or seven OF the more
prominent Confederates' at the close OF
the war. He claimed that at least TO-.
900 innocent colored men in the South
had been murderedio for no other crime
other than that ofrefusing 10 vote as their
former master did. He then recounted
the record Of the colored people during
the war, rand said to disregard their
rights would be an Insult 10 that Provi-
dence which watched over our hosts by
night, and by day and gave US. the final
victory, ;AE least we propose 70 stand

hunt negroes and kill carpet.baggcrs.
fCheers. There are in the South At least
$50 900 men, organized, armed and equip
ped. Now suppose that the solid South,
assisted by three or four Northern States,
should carry both houses in Congress,
with Tildenin the President's chair. Then
suppose this vast army should inaugurate
another rebellion, where is your Presi-
debt to call for troops? Lincoln is in
his grave, killed by Democratic assas-
sin, and will you tell me we are noH
threatened by supreme danger to.dayt
Then referring to Gems. Hayes and liar-
rison, he appealed to the soldiers TO vote
as they had fought. He closed amidst vo-
ciferous cheering. He was followed by
speeches from Gems. Hartranft, Burn
