HON. II. N. OGDEN.
| Hon. II. ". Ogden then addressed the
audience. He insisted that no man
could enjoy peace and happiness with
out good government: good government
was. therefore, absolutely necessary,
! and every citizen should seek to obtain
| il it was his first duty next to his re-
ligion. In republic, politics was che
business Of every man, and he who re-
fused to take part in civil affairs, ne
elected his sworn duty. Especially was

of every one depended on good govern
mention reform. There was an organ
lied band Of thieves, 81 900 Government
officials and thousands more OF State
officials. They had to fight men or
ganized and united to fitch the public
money. This robbery was not all the
harm they did Not only did they rob
the people of millions, but with this
stolen money they had debauched the
country and had produced the present
epidemic OF dishonor and infamy.. he
showed that the poor were as much in
terested in good government as the rich,
for from them and their labor came
originally all the taxes. He closed, in
slStlHB ou I-y's,uoh ei,,h oron nination-
without which the coming campaign
would be lost.
CAPT. CHAs. f. FENNER.
The Hon. Chas. e. Fenner was the
next orator, delivering a most eloquent
and poetical speech. He had fought In
the war. but he did not wish to judge
those that fought on the other side. He
believed they were honest and true In
the sentiment that sent them to the
field. But eleven years had passed, and
II the war was ever to end, it ought to
end now. The South claimed nothing
but honest government. 1t did not de-
sire to be placed in power, to be put at
the head Of the ticket, but only said {:
"Give US good, honest government. 1t
will benefit you as well as US. You
govern, but govern honestly" That
nomination Of Tilden and Hendricks.
GOV. PENN.
Mr.. E. D. White, who had been chosen
as a speaker, being absent, the Presi-
dent moved an adjournment OF the meet
ing. The audience, however, who had
been listening eagerly to every word, did
not seem willing to go, and called for
more speeches.
In answer to numerous cries Gov. ID. b.
Penn took the stand He hoped the Gov
eminent in 1876 would receive the same
check from Louisiana as it had received
in ~ and IA 1t was our election here
and government interference that had
given a Democratic majority to the
house OIL REPRESENTATIVES,, GlltG Hau ue-
feated the Force bill, made the Supreme
Court of the United States repudiate the
Kuklux bill. Hayes, he thought, was
but continuation Of Grantism. The
same rule, only disguised under differ
ent leader.
There were several cries for Hon. l..
A. Wilt, who, however, did not respond.
The President tried again to adjourn
the meeting and succeeded this time,
although the audience seemed deter
mined to hear more. AS nobody,
seemed anxious to speak, the meet
