KEARNEY.
The San Francisco Communist
Received in Faneuil Hall.
An Immense Workinsmen's De-
mlOnstratiOn.

BOSTON, July 5.-Dennis Kearpey was for
mally received at Fanuel Hall this evening by
one Of the largest gatherings ever held within
and around its walls. Not one-fourth of the
crowd could gain an entrance, and during the
proceedings an overflow meeting of immense
proportions was in progress in the square. The
crowd was noisy, enthusiastic and reckless, but
withsl good natured. Within the hall the heat
was intense and following the example of Kear-
ney, majority Of the audience
were soon in their shirt sleeves.
T. G. Brophy called the meeting to order and
announced that e. M. Chamberlain, chairman
of the reception commit ee, had been appointed
to preside and presented him to the audience
who cheered Justify. Chamberlain addressed
the meeting at some length. He was followed
by Kearney who in his harangue uses most of
his vocabulary to vilify the Associated Press,
reading from the San Francisco Chronicle a
despatch which he attributed to the Associated
Press. (No such was sent from this office.)
Other speeches followed in the nature of
addresses of welcome to the city, to the state
and to New England. Meanwhile Kearney
went out and made short speech to the crowd

resolutions were adopted and the meeting ad-

THE PRESIDENCY.
Mr.. Titden's Plan to Secure a
Democratic Victory.
A Chapter of History by HEamiOu
Marble.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Mr. Manton Marble
has five columns in the Sun today relative to
the Electoral Commission and Mr.. Tilden's ad-
vice at that time relative thereto. Mr.. Marble
was mentioned in the recent controversy be-
tween Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Watterson as the
one personal witness of Mr.. Tilden's conduct
during the dispute concerning the Presidential
election of 1876, and Mr.. Watterson expressed
the opinion that it was his duty to put on rec.
ord the whole of this important chaptsr in our
political annals To this duty, with the consent
of Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Marble now addresses HIM
self.
He says that Mr.. Tilden reposed his conf
dence upon the Democratic House. which Ut
der the constitution had an equal power with
the Senate over the count of the electoral votes,
and was the sole Judge whether the contingency
had arisen which requires the House to make
an election which the people have failed 10
make. He had believed that the House, adj
herring firmly to this position. refusing to ad-
NIT the votes of Louisiana and Florida, and
threatening to make aH election itself, would
have divided the Senate, and would finally
have compelled that body to assent to the ex.
clusion of those votes and the recognition of
his election by the remaining states
Mr.. Tilden prepared with his own hand, in
December, tho resolutions asserting this posi-
ton, which were reported to the House on the
18th of January from the committee on privil-
eyes, powers and duties of the House in count
ing the electoral votes. Mr.. KnOtt, chairman
of the committee, supported the resolutions in
powerful speech. a ga - ~
On the 18Th Of January the bill to create an
Electoral Commission first came to the surface,
and it appeared that the Democratic leaders of
the Senate, Messrs. Thurman and Bayard, were
committed to it. On the 18th, Mr.. Hewitt
came to New York to consult Mr.. Tilden about
it, and Mr.. Marble was present at the confer
euce. Mr.. Tlden did not approve the meas
ure. "The fears of collision" he said, '.are
exaggerated. Why surrender now? Your can
always surrender. That is all you have to dc
after being beaten. Why surrender before the
battle, for fear of having to surrender after the
battle is over?" @ srE
The remonstrance came too late. The negc-
tiations of the conference committee of the
Senate and House had been conducted with the
strictest privacy. The Democratic Senators
had won over the Democrats on the House
committee. The bill was taken up on the 10th
and passed the House on the 18th of January
AS Mr.. Marble remarks, "the rest is history"
mo well informed and competent critic OF
that compromise" Mr.. Marble say, "can ever
question the high and patriotic purpose of the
pure. the able, the admired Democrats, who
were its parents or Sponsors" and Mr.. Tilden
saysiexpressly, that he never questioned the
good faith and patriotic purposes of Mr.. Hew-
lit, or of any whose counsels and guidance he
thought it his duty to follow. .Ae

rarely venture to recommend overt acts of vic
lence, but their haraugues are full of hints and
suggestions OF open spoliation and are calcu-
lated to stir up the passions and resentments OF
the igI and indigent populsce.
In community as large as ours these evil
counselors have a dangerous capacity for mis-
Chief Every haunt of dissipation is nur-
sery of agrarianism Almost any pretentious
adventurer who is glib of tongue, and prodi.
gal of professions of devotion to the well
being of the "workingmen'' can command
more or less following. Fortunately the lead
ers under whose auspices these sccialistic nc
tions have been fostered are SO consumed witch
their own selfish projects that they have been
unable to come to any agreement among them
selves, and consequently have been thus far
divided into several factions and their antago-
nisms have greatly dimin shed their import
ance. They were all intent upon identifying
themselves with the sc-called Nationals,
and elected three or four sets Of delegates to
the recent State convention of that order. But
the Nationals wisely declined to have any
thing to do with them, and they were sent
away without recognition, or overtures of fell
lowship. 1r..
1t is quite possible the disagreement between
the two is more seeming than real, but at all
events the Nationals who hail from the interi-
or prudently disavow any purpose to disturb the
private rights of citizens. They do not even ad-
nit that it is their object to bring about repu-
diston of the national debt though of course it
Is contradiction of terms to maintain that the
public faith can be kept if there is such an in
crease of the legal tender currency as they are
importunate for. No matter how stoutly they
may asseverate that they are not seeking to
dishonor the public obligations, if their acts
prove the contrary their statements are not en-.
titled to Gre 1ence. |" 'a
There is undoubtedly a wide difference be-
tween the coarse and ruffianly metropolitan
Communist and the illogical and mistaken ru.
raj Greenbacker The one is an enemy of his
race, the other may be only an impracticable
theorist. But it is the duty all the same of pa
triotic Americans to make common cause
against them both. If the flag was worth fight
ing for, the honor of the Republic is worth
working for. 1t looks now as If the Republi-
can party, which has fought and conquered in
SO many battles against oppression and wrong
would be obliged to assert itself once more in
vindication of the integrity of the government.
