One of the largest Democratic
ward meetings OF the campaign
was held last night, IN the
Sixth ward engine house The
Democracy of that Tilden Gibraltar came
together in large numbers to hear John
o. Pendleton discuss the questions of the
hour. Dir. Pendleton was introduced to
the audience by }. NJ. Todd, the Presi-
dent of the Webster club, and
was received with loud cheers.
He spoke with his accustomed
ability for fully an hour and half upon
the topics which are just now nearest
the heart of every honest American voter.
Mr.. z. was frequently applsuded with
great spirit and at times the enthusiasm
was very great. At the conclusion OF
the address three cheers were given
for the speakers and the cause OF
Tilden, Hendricks and Reform. Mr..
Pendleton was particularly felicitous
upon the record of Gov. Hayes as six
years noneniity in Congress and as firm
friend of the American Alliance
He drew a thrilling description of the
persecution and prescription of our fellow
citizens of foreign birth in the Know
Nothing times of twenty years ago. lie
showed conclusively that the same
spirit was abroad to-day, the spirit that
would prescribe the lIberty-loving Ger
man and prosecute the warm-hearted
Irbhman, and that its chief representa-
tive was the candidate of the alliance"
and the Republican party. Hayes, in
the arms of Morton, Butler, lack Chand-
Ter and Ben Butler, was compared 20
child in the clutch of giant while
Tilden was portrayed as man
who had throttled and crushed the
rascals and scoundrels in his
own party, and as one who had the will,
the nerve and the ability to sweep before
him as the whirlwind sweeps the sands
Of the desert the heartlessness, the ras-
cality and the villsiny which had found
home or abiding place in the high
places of the nation. The issues of the
hour were reform in the public service,
in taxation and finance, and the pacitica-
ton and regeneration of the South. From
whom should we expect the needed and
desired reform? From Hayes, the man
of ordinary experience and ordinary
ability, with a record of six years
Of obscurity and silence in
the great council of the nation, or Til
den, man whose character was as pure
as the fathers Of the republic, and whose
ability could not be disputed, and whose
FIVE years record as leader in political
matters had been full of practical re-
forms, and of craftsmanship which had
been without a parallel in the latter
years of the nation2 Was the south TO
be pacifed by party Of hate, prejudice
and bigotry, or by party which knows
no north, no south no east and no west,
and which believes that the Union of to-
day was Union for all, for the Union
man and the Confederate, for the Ger
man and the Irishman, and for
every one who Is willing TO
rally under Columbia's glorious hsg2
Tilden and his party turn their backs
upon the past and say, let by-gones be by
cones, while the party o. Hayes, TO per-
petuate themselves in power, march
armies to the baliOt-boX; at the point of
the bsyonet stife the voice of the people,
and deliver South Carolina TO the tender
mercies of the thief and the carpet-bag-
ger. the justice-lovlng (2) bands of men
whose reputation has become by-word,
Kissing and reproach in the eyes of
honest men the world over.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Pendleton's
address the meeting adjourned, with
high hopes OF a great triumph in the
gallant district of Webster. The "mob"
or the "rsbble" whichever A. w. G.
prefers) down in the Sixth ward, say
that Samuel j. Tilden and Benjamin
Wilson will march Northward, on
the eth, with 200 majority from that
ward, and they generally mean what
they SAY
