Republican Rallies.

The campaign was opened in Brad.
ford on Friday evening by II rousing
meeting at Town Hall, under the
auspices of the Hayes and Wheeler
Club. The hall was full and much
interest manifested. The meeting
was called to order by Mr.. Geo. Il.
Brown, president of the Hayes and
Wheeler Clnh. The exercises com.
menced with the singing of a lively
campaign song by the Glee Club, af.
ter which the President introduced
Hon. Henry Ballard of Burlington.
Mr.. Ballard opened his address by
urging the great significance of the
pending election in Vermont. The
reduction of a thousand votes in
the majority of two years ago
would greatly encourage the oppo.
sition in States where the contest
was close, while the increase of a
few thousand votes would cause the
hearts of loyal men throughout the
country to rejoice. lie thea pro.
ceeded to speak of the platform
adopted by the Democrats at St.
Louis, fifty styling it nothing but a
fault, finding document shouting for
"Reform," yet not pointing out the
way or taking any advanced views
as to how "Reform" was to be bro't
about. After showing that the plat
form adopted at st. Louis was a
mere sham; that it really meant
nothing, he proceeded to review the
work of the Republican party for
the last fifteen years, giving facts
and figures TO show that it has been
a party of progress and reform !;
that it's administrator of the affairs
of the government has been fair
and honest, that it has year after
year reduced the public debt with.

and that when there has
been fraud and corruption discover,

son or persons have been at once

the party.

An adjourned meeting of the
Trustees Of Dartmouth College was

The Tilden Committees have got
their arrangements completed, and
will commence vigorous work at
once. The two States in which the
most work will be done are, of course,
Ohio and Indiana, and their best
speakers aud several barrels of mon
ey will be sent thither. The strong
Congressional nominations made by
the Republicans of Ohio have dis
hpartened them somewhat as to thire
prospects in that State. Their ia.
vorite catch word "Reform," has no
meaning when they are opposing
>uch men as Cox, Garfield, Mat
lhews, Force, Monroe and Foster.
But with a faith in the stupidity of
the people which is almost sublime,
they will make a desperate fight for
both States; and warn the Re
publicans thereof that they have no
child's play before them to prevent
"Slippery Sammy" from capturing
at least Indiana. He is as cunning
as fox, as slippery as an eel, and
with boundless money. The rings
which plundered New York and
Brooklyn relentlessly, for so many
years, want the wider opportunity
that the Federal offices would give
them, and they will pour ont mon
ey like water to bring it about. Be
sides, this is the death struggle of a
great many aspiring politicians, and
you may all depend upon it, the
October States will be fought over,
every inch. Look out for tramps
in October. These fellows are NOV
ing westward in armies, and it would
be singular if so expert manipuld-
tor as Mr.. Tilden should neglect to
use tkem. The most of them were
Yepeaters in New York before the
new system came into vogue, and
they will be used. If they can car
ry either Ohio or Indiana they will
have something to 60 into the No
vember fight with, some show of
success, or rather some encourage
ment. The most thorough canvass
will be made of Indiana and every
bit of talent that can be command
ed will be thrown into that State.
