no law should be passed requiring the citizen earn
ing his daily bread by his daily toll to spend his time
improving his right to vote before any tribunal
Whatever I'm the contrary, whosoever denies that
right should be held to make good that denial.
ReSotved, That we call upon all citizens of what
ever political views to unite with the Democracy in
election of legislative and executive officers who will
faithfully carry out those great measures OF much
needed reform, but by so doing do not hold them
cratic party or bound to it the save they rec0g
nize in all things the justice and wisdom of their
principles.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
At the conclusion of the reading of the reso-
lutions vote of thanks was passed to the pre-
siding officer by standing vote, after which
the meeting adjourned with three cheers for the
party nominees.
An Appropriate Finale.
The exciting exploits of this long to be re-
membered day in this city were most appropri.
ately closed this evening by speech of the
usual u character from Buffers advance agent,
the murderer of the English language and
conner OF choice epjthets, Dennis Kearney.
The Post ON the Convention.
BOSTON, Sept. 1.-THE Post says of the
Worcester convention: The violence aud brig
andism exhibited under Gen. Buffers inspira.
ton Is typical OF the man and his purposes.
The introduction of Kearney to stir up bad
first act in this drama Raids upon the Demo-
cratic caucuses and derauding our party of
its proper representatives was second. The
marsha'ing of his defeated hosts to violently
seize and hold possession of the hall for hold
ing our convention and compelling it's session
elsewhere was 9hird. Destruction is his lead
ing aim. The desperation of his mu1den ed
brain is seen in every movement of his Dol
pretender The defiant foe of both parties
which he has deserted and betrayed he now
seeks to carry into effect by violence, fraud and
intimidation his purpose of destroying our ma
tional credit, and 1880 proposes to march bodily
forth under the black flag of reputation. From
this time forth until he shall himself be cured
and his purpose effectuaIly throttled it must
be irresistible determination to great business

plot.
What the Journal Says.
The Journal says that the body which met
at Worcester yesterday can in no decent or fair
way lay claim to be called representatives Of
the Democratic party. 1t is the Butler party,
and as such will be known and treated in the
coming campaign, and as the representative OF
all that is evil and vicious and corrupt in poll
tics. 1t will incur the detestation and hatred
of every patriotic citizen, and will be so effec
tually crushed at the polls in November that
the good old Commonwealth of Massachusetts
will be no more vexed with the evil spirit and
evil designs of Butlerism.
