As they were read they were
frequently and enthusiastically ap-
plauded. DR.. Bruins then proceeded,
in his usual elegant and eloq aent way,
to analyze the platform adopted at st.
Louis. beginning by congratulating our
people on its triumphant proghostica-
tions after 50 many years of suffering.
It showed that white mans rights
were bound to be respected by the
negro that the minions Of the Federal
Government would no more interfere In
our civil affairs, and that neither O. De
Trobriand nor q Sheridan could raise
his arm upon our people without its
falling palsied by his side. It obliterated
sectional lines between the North, the
South, the East and the West, and
promised that we shall be no longer
juggled In our rights. Touching upon
the square issue made on the financial
question, he then referred to the en-
tive to the necessity OF rigid retrench-
ment, steady reform and economy, and
the guarantee to bondholders at home
and abroad.
After reviewing the bitter deceptions
to which the South has been subjected
after keeping It's faith to the conditions
laid down at Appomatox, the speaker
took occasion to lash the party Of GEN.
tralization, which had determined to
hold us as conquered provinces, and
had accomplished their purposes
through fraud and perjury, and held us
In the thralf Of Federal power, with
their amendments to the Constitution
and their force bills, and the dragoon-
ing Of the South. The result had been,
he continued, not only the injury of the
South, but the bankruptcy and beggary
OF the entire country, the Haunting OF
gllded vices splendor in the honest
mans face. sssa
A happy eulogy Of Tilden was then
made by the speaker, who followed the
distinguished statesman in his remark
able career, and dwelt particularly on
the determination. and equality with
which he struck delinquent friend and
foe, and how he defeated the assaults
and calumnies that pursued him to the
very threshold OF the st. Louis Conven-
to Thomas A. Hendricks, the peer Of
Tilden, who had proved himself a
worthy emulator Of John G. Calhoun by
rising triumphant above his personal in
terest and taken. the second place on
the ticket.
A comparison of the Cincinnati plat
form ensued which Is summed as fol-
lows: On the one hand we have de-
claration OF principles, on the other
evasive, glittering generalities, rehears-
ing the oft uttered oppression OF the
negro" sentiments OF hate towards the
South, and assurances of the honesty Of
Grant! Tilden and Hendricks, with
pure and famous records on the one
hand. Hayes unknown, and Wheeler
aggrandized by his exploit, the Louis
lana compromise.
After further eulogizing the mastery
conception, the st. Louis platform, DIR.
Bruins closed his excellent address amid
enthusiastic cheers, and the meeting
adjourned until Monday next.
