full force and headed by kramer's
band formed into line and marched out
the national road, over the hill to Full
ton, where they were greeted by the
people OF that place in the most en-
thusisstic manner, cheer after cheer
echoing on the night air as the large
procession reached the top of the hill,
and the inspiring strains of Kramer
invincibles fell upon the ears of the true
and .ried men in the valley below.
Among the banners, the Fourth ward club
carried off the palm, and the fol-

press in language as true as 1t is eloquent,
the feeling of the masses: ...

ward and their appropriate inscriptions
Immediately on the arrival OF the pro-
cession at Fulton, Mr.. John Zoeckler was
chosen chairman, and introduced
Mr. G. H. BYRNE
as the first speaker, who addressed the
meeting in neat and fitting manner.
Abiding to the Republican party, be
spoke of the great howl they had made
about what the party had done during
the war, but dare not discuss what
they had done since the war.
There Was now u man at the head of the
administration who gathered around him
corruptionists OF all classes, and thieves
of the highest and lowest grades, ana
their crimes were unparalleled in the
history OF the world, and that the De
mocracy propose IN this, the Centennlal
wear, to elect man to fill that high
office who would reform these evils. a
continuation of Grantisn, he said, would
bring upon our heads the curses of
future generations, but a relief from
the present corruption in affairs OF state,
would cause the blessings of thankful
people TO be showered upon US, and such
relief was only to be gained by voting
for Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks for President and Vice Pres
ident.
Mr.. JOHN o. PENDLEToN,
the next speaker, REFER led to the progress
of the Democracy, and said that during
its supremacy it had never had
Belknsp, Babcock. or any
of that ilk, but its admin
istration, and the records would show it,
had been the most glorious the world had
ever seen, and it would resume its glores
of the past with the election of TIIden
Everybody had forgotten the late civil
strife; everybody were ready to forgive
and be forgiven, but Grant and his
cohors who Haunted the bloody shirt not
for the divine purpose as they would
have US believe, of serving the best INTEL
ests of the government, but with the full
intention of keeping alive the animos
tiles that have been buried, and directing
the public mind from the corruptions
which have SO disgraCed the fair fame OF
our govern i1ent. Mr., Pendleton con-
cluded his remarks with an eloquent ap-
peal to the people to rid the country of
The evils with which it had been so long
cursed, and thus favor return to n pure
and honest administration.
Mr.. T.. @. CRACRAFT
was then introduced and spoke in sub
stance as follows: There has been
q cry going up throughout
this great unlverse-a cry as
mournful as the cry of the broken
hearted--for reform, and there was but one
inspiration throughout this great CONT
nent, and that inspiration was tor Reform.
He spoke OF the Republican party refer
ring to the Democracy as rebels, and
cited the case of Moseby, the guerrilla,
and Longstreet, whose sins had been
washed in the blood of the Radical lamb
the mention of whose very names
was greeted with applause by the
Republican party. he quoted from
the treasury reports: between 1889 and
1860, period of seventy-one years, the
expenses of the government was two
billion and quarter in round numbers.
In the four and half years OF war the
expenses of the war were four and half
billions, two billions tour hundred thou
sand more than the seventy-one years
previous. In ten years OF profound
peace the Republicans had expended
the sum OF nearly eight billions,
or five and halt billions
more than in the seventy-one
years previous" and went on to expose
the Republican party In their corruP-
ton, whose acts had caused even the
stars in the heavens above them to blush
for shame, and the remedy for which, he
said, was the election of Samuel }. Til
den, the Moses that would lead them out
OF the wilderness of their troubles, and
deliver them from the hand that had
troubled them even unto death.
Mr.. l.. S. Jordan and others also adj
dressed the gathering encouraging them
to renewed action, after which the meet
