p,e,ep, moment We arc in most hopeful
condition. The De mocraic party fully
sxpectel an avalanche out IVES; from the
reflections, but the Hood did not come.
E,pecislly in Ohio they thought TO carry
lteSta,eby large majority, and the be.
iiei was strengthened by the calnmuy
be,ped upon Mr.. Barnes, who was vilited
md malippcd in every shape. It may
have been n mistake to nominate him, as
he vas somewhat bigO,ed in certain re-
.pec,s, but on the whole be ia an unex-
cep,iouable man. From the results
achieved in the West, can safely
prognostigate that Ohio and Indians

ford B. Hayes will be our next Pfesi.

in support OF the best measures, and 10
oppose every corrupt scheme. ] believe
that Republican is a patriot. Parties
re nothing but machines TO achieve
Uea, public objects, and in this instance
he elevation OF such men as the leaders
Of The Republican party is the chief and
NOS, important object. II is necessary
,hnour financial system should be shaped
pMtO iniuss confidence. We need re-
form in our government, in our civil
service; and We must maintain civil and
religious liberty, and a unity Of parties,

policy.
There are g.ea. material interests at

0ur opponents say, ave must have .
change lam certainly and positively
a!AJOr Of change, but Il must DO q
chiHss for the better. The Democrats
blame The Administration for the stagua-
dou. sit just2 For my part ] have
ntrHheiitaied 10 attack the Republican
Administration when I thought 1t was
Efuos, bu. have not tho slightest idea
la! The Administration is responsible
aI the hard times. -
The present crisis broke out In 1873
Uhils was In Vienna at the Exhibition,
continued the speaker. Many bankrupt.
ds occurred in Europe, and the conIa.
rol spread like wildfre. From this we
IA! date our present stagnation in BUSH
oes. According to our opponents view,
he appearance Of the potato bug origi-
nllly came from bad administration. The
real evil, however, exists in the over
production Of goods for which there was
40 market and the building Of railroads
which ran through lands where only wild
ANIMAL and wilder Indians range, and
thus mourning debts for frivolous matters
without any definite provision as to their
payment. Now, rs in 1878, We have q
panic, and thus it will be hereafter,
q ii is Asettled fact that such must
AXE place every twenty years; but
his one has arrived i little ahead
4 time. However, better times are
aning. The inaationiss say what We
rant now are more greenbacks, but say
VhA! We really need Is restoration Of
confidence. 1t is, therefore, necessary TO
'eOliih that which has been productive
q this evil. We know to-day what 4
d9I!l' is worth now, but who can tell
1sAi it will realize three years hence?
We must establish sound currency Of
s0id and 'ilver-a stable financial policy
and then only will it be possible 10 re.
'sS;' our old prosperity. The election
.aisa !, about TO take place is one Of
at!s''A! interest to everybody. Which
EG1y can secure 10 us the best financial
Pacy! The party that can do this is the
PcSlic.
The speaker then reviewed the charac-
