sue these matters in detail further upon
this occasion. That retrenchment and
reform in the administration OF pubic
affairs is the great, present and pressi sg
necessity Of the times, no honest man,
Democrat or Republican will deny. To
whose hands will you intIust this great
and vitalIy important work? The Re-

Democratic cadmiDistIa ion. II this is the
character of retI enchmept and reform
des:,ed by the American people,
let them continue the Republican party
in power; that party iuaugurated the
system, and is abundantly able to main
tain it. Year by yesr the R pu0Iicans
havepromised retreucbmeut and reform,
yet the levy and collection OF revenues
have not diminished, and no pereeptible
impression has been made upon your

country have been psrslyGed, and its

unreasonable eXsctions and NAL admin

My eloquent friend at the
Opera Hou:e, last night, nnfuIled the
bloody shiIt, and niece himself -hosrse
in the pleasing fields of bloody shirt
logic in appealing to the war pzV51dices
and passions of his audience. These
preiudices and passions have heen the
only tenure by which that party has
plaIntaiued its power in the country for
the last eleven years. The time has come
when suffering people will demand 3
fuller and better explanation and excuse
for the frauds, prosecutions and crimes
OF thst party, than wave ofthe bloody

the war, with its issues, its hopes, pro-
mises and disappointments, have passed
away. They are butied with the things
of the psst. We Of the south have ac-
cepted the results in good faith, recOg-

and look only to the present
sud the future to secure to US political
existence within the Union, with the
enjoyment Of such rights as are secured
by the constitution to every American
citizen, animated by s9ntimapIs of fra
te.nity, devotion TO the cid flag, and an
ardsnt desire for the peace, prosperity
and happiness of the whole country.
The country has grown weary of
being p!undered, and will submit 10 it
no longer. The Republicans must give
some better account OF their steward
ship than the bloody-shirt logic or the
cry of tTebel." Tonight the Democracy
of Shelby heartily ratify the nomination
Of Tilden and Hendricks. Other coun-
ties and communities are doing and will
do the same, but in November next the
ground swell will be felt, the avalanche
Drecipitated, and the nomination Of Til
ten and Hendricks will be ratified by
tie vote of an overwhelming majority
Of the American people.
GENERAL GIDEON ]. PILLOW.
General Pillow eaid that, owing to the
Iateness of the hour, he would have but
little to say. He wanted, however, to
express his hearty approval of the ac-
tion Of the st. Louis convention. Til
den and Hendricks was the strongest
ticket that the Democracy could have
put in the field, and he believed that it
would result not only in glorious vic
tory in November, but such a reform il
the government that would give the re-
lief demanded by the people in al sec
tions. He alluded TO the dishonesty Of
present administration. He charged no
1ne man; corruption seemed to pervade
all departments. The present congress
had exposed more corruption in the
present administration than has been
brought to light in the past hundred
years. General Pillow announced that
be woulu be heard in the present cam
paign, and hoped he would be excused
rom saying more tonight.
GENERAL j. r. CHALMERS.
General Chslmers being loudly called
for, was introduced by Judge Morgan,
and paid an eloquent tribute In adVc-
cacy of the ticKet nominated at st
Louis. He compared the st. Louis con-
