ter. They have to ask who Hayes and
| Wheeler are, but all know rrilden and
Hendricks. The Radicals invite the
young men to join that party for the
sake Of spoils. Such temptations should
be met with scorn, and the answer
should be: Get thee behind me, Sa'
tanm Among the new recruits was
| Frances Thompson, who Is now
voter, but it Is not certain
| whether the thirteenth or fourteenth
amendment would c50er her, for she Is
now covered in a different way from
what the congressional COMMITTEES res
| ported. There is no room on the Demo-
cratic platform for Frances Thompson,
the Bsboocks and the Belknaps. The
| speaker paid high compliment to the
brilliant, the distinguished, and the &C.
CON plished SchuTz." AT st. Louis they
selected the grsndest aud most disin-
guished chief of the Democratic party.
He went for hilu because Sohurts says
go for him; the avalanche said go fot
him; the Cincinnati commercial said
go for him, and all the Independent
press said go for him. Both the young
and the old should feel proud in follow
ing the leadership Of Samuel ]. Tilden,
the greatest of sll living Americans,
and one whom God has sent here to pur-
ify official corruption. The Democrats,
Old Wings and all others, who want re.
form, mean to put him in power. In all
emergencies God has raised up great
men for reformers, and Samuel Tilden
Is the man sent to do the work. Cor
rHpt influences in the Republican party
were too strong to let Bristow get upon
the platform. He regretted to See so
much meanness in that platform. There
Is not rotten plank; not tn tuelean
spot in the Democratic platform, lis
nominee being man who fears to do
nothing save wrong. Hayes had to get
help to write his own letter, and can be
led around by the political leaders. Til
den writes his ow letters, does his own
thinking; for he Is q leader of leaders,
and Ia chief Of chiefs, snd will be the
head of the country. he is the doctor
who will purge the country OF eorrup-
ton, and will restore 1t tn prosperity.
The Republicans said Blaine didn't
smell we'll, his character was in ques-
ton, and q dark horse was brought for
ward. The speaker alluded to Tilden's
opposition to the thieving ring, which
alone. He Is still willing to fight for
to make the people happier. He is now
the leader in New York, having led his
army against Tweed and Sweeney, and
their ring. He recounted the brilliant
deeds and mighty reforms of Tilden in
New York. The speaker said Hendricks
is better man than can be found in the
entire Republican party, and spoke of
his efforts in behalf OF liberty and re-
form. The Republicans needed 8 bloody
shirt in this section, and they can find
one, the one Frances Thompson wears,
and which ought to be waved in the air,
and Barbour Lewis allowed to smell it.

spoke next. He said that values are
daily decreasing, employment scsrcer
every day, and distress all over the
country, the greatest burden being upon
the laboriDg classes. All rhis was due
to the corrupt administration OF the
country. Investigation shows that since
the Republicans went into Office the
people have paid enough taxes pay
the public debt three times. The money
has been stolen by the Republican par
ty, which now pretends to want reform.

istration and relief from the present
troubles. Is it not less prob able that the
party in power, which has brought on
all these troubles, will reform than q
new party? The people see that cor
ruptiOn has been from one end to
another in the Republican party, and
now look to Tilden to drive these thieves
out Of office and put honest men in
power. The only issue is honesty in
this government, and the only way to
do this is to drive the present thieves
out of office.
All OF the speeches were well received,
and created general enthusiasm, fire.
