nothing to say about. his alleged connec

bilior-that beto NOR of the last decade
though believe he is proved to have beer
in 1t, or with his connection with the Fisk
Gould management of Erie, or his other
railrOai connections. That he is man OF
very large wealth appears to be conceded
That he has been railroad lawyer, ano
that his money has come from these cor.
poraiions, appears also to be conceded, and
the history of the railroad in Indiana which
has been brought to light within the past
few days indic,tes that he had knack OF
making money out of bankrupt railroads
which reflects more credit. to say the least,
upon his acquisitveness than upon his in
tegrity.
What kind of president would Tilden
make--a patent new reformerp He was
hand and glove with Tweed until the COM
munity made 1t too hot for him. When
the Tweed gang became too odious, even
Tildeu had to retire and become states
evidence aud throw Tweed overheard after
the money had all been stolen from the
treasury. Mr.. Tilden's posi- ion was aptly
illustrated by allusion to the account of
Jonah and the whale, found in book
which he said was some times read in
Vermont. Tilden was nominated because
Morrissey said he was reformer.
This John Morrissey had worn
out the knees of his brooches
in praying that this reformer, Tilden,
might be an occupant of the White house
ut Washington. He alluded to the hard
and soft money proclivties of Tilden and
Hendricks, and passing on said that during
his administration of the postoflice depart
ment Rev. Petroleum V. Nasty at the con-
federste cross roads had been one of his of
flcials, aud the dispatches received by
Nasty from Tilden and Hendricks, giving
instructions how, on the stump, to make
argue for soft in the west and hard In the
east.
His public and political career are fair
topics of public discussion and we have a
right to judge of him as he appears therein.
Has he the moral courage and grip for re-
former? For 1t must not be forgotten that
as a rcformer his friends have put him for
ward.
AT the outbreak of the war he never ut
tered one word offensive to the rebels and
refused to sign cali for union meetings,
and always held himself aloof from them,
and be never, so far as the public is aware,
| gave one dollar toward the suppression of
| the rebellion.
All patriotic citizens of the north who
did not 90 to the war united at that time
in doing what they could to support our
soldiers in the field, and thus enable them
to conquer those who were in arms against
| tio ;,,,. Of hn H. rrnIap
was then rich, bat he did not give out of
his millions a dollar for the cause. Others
| gave according to their ability.
The preiensions OF the reforms of Mr..
| 1'ilden we're sham. In canal reform it
has amounted to the conviction of one man,
and he not punished, at an expense of $780,
| GOO, and covered no money into the treas
ury. While the republican secretary of
the treasury had put two millions of dol
lars or more into the treasury of the United
| States, ord convicted and punished 1873
men, and 10 more would have been brought
to justice had they not fled the country.
| This is republican reform against demo.
cratic reform.
In conclusion Mr.. Jewell made an earnest
| appeal ID Vermonters to do their duty, say
| ing:
Go beyond your usual $4,000 majority;
you can make it 10000. He said Porace
Fairbanks, the republican caluldate for
| governor, was a man after his own heart,
and deserving of the suffrages Of the peo-
pie of Vermont. Give Col Joyce larger
majority, for he has been faithful to every
duty, never Fostering the departments for
ter representative on the second term. He
entered congress with full knowledge of
his duties and appreciation of his RESPONSE
blities. Tie republic is worth saving, and
Vermonters should do their duty, standing
shoulder to shoulder for right liberty and
reform.
Mr.. Jewell retired amid ringing ap.
plause.
AT the conclusion Of Gov. JEWELS ad-
dress the president announced the republi-
can rally at West Rutland this evening,
after which he introduced
COL. CHARLES II. JOYCE.
The name was greeted with thunders of
applause, which did not cease till after the
colonel had ct 1od for some time.
After abiding very happily to his graft

nice moths work in congress, and thank
ing tie audience for the warm welcome
they had accorded him, the speaker entered

two parties have arranged themselves and
ask our support. Let us examine and see
what the reasons are that We should sup
port one more than the other. The situa-
ton of tie country is peculiar. Business
is depressed men are without work and
| almost without bread; capital is boarded
in banks. Here lies our danger. Men
suffer keenly from this state of things, and
they naturally look about to lay the blame
somewhere. They will think, be lead TO

beea no war; with no war we should have
had no debt; and instead of a flag floating
through our broad domains, and no

does the debt come ? Read history and
