THE LABOR PARTY.

Now, that Labor party has great many
with it. But tell me, if you please, who
has favored the Labor party for the last sew
enteen years, since the Republican party
has been in power? Through all our legis-
lation, by protecting American industry
by furnishing home market for their in
dustry, by the abolition of slavery, thus
taking 100000 of serfs from unpaid labor
and making them paid laborerers, and in
every other way one of the most efficient
friends of the laboring man has been the
great Republican party. [Applause.

A SOUND SPEECH

AT meeting of the Republican conven-

trolt, ex-Secretary Zachariah Chandler was,
AMID great enthusiasm. elected its perma-
nent president, and opened the convention
with Characteristic address-eal nest, able,
and effective. Among other things Mr..
Chandler said:-
THE GREENBAGK PARTY-oRIGIN AND PUR-
POSES OF THE GREENBACK.
But, gentleman of the convention, you
have discovered another thing; you have
discovered another danger to the nation,
hardly second to the first. While we have
been asleep the enemy have been sowing
tares. We have hardly deemed these things
that have arisen in our midst, and alarmed
some of our wisest and best men; we have
hardly deemed them of sufficient consequence
to contradict. The agents who are dissem-
mating and distilling these heresies through
out all the length and breadth of this land,
were SO utterly contemplate that we hardly
deemed them worth a passing notice. But
they have been untiring, and some honest
men have become infected with the disease
There has been aparty created, as is claimed,
called the Greenback party. 1t is a falsity
This new edition of the Greenback party
has no right whatever to the name. When
the Greenback party was established, was
there. [Applause. We had exhausted
our means to carry on the war against the
rebelliouS States. We owed $40, 900, 900,
and had not a dollar in our Treasury to pay
the debt. We owed our soldiers for four
months wages, and had OF a dollar with
which to pay them. Our credit had been
used to the utmost, and as war measure,
as a last resort, we issued, and 1 voted for
it, the first greenback ever issued under this
Government. We issued it under solemn
pledge that it should be made, as soon as
we were able, equal to gold or silver coin.
(Applause.l Through our State Legisla-
lures, through our votes in Congress, through
our State and national conventions, through
every organization known to the Republican
party, we declared and re declared and sol
emnly re-affirmed that the very moment we
were able to make those greenbacks equal
to coin we would do so. The Republican
party has labored year after year, and they
have raised those greenbacks up, until yes
terday they were within per cent. of coin.
We intend, gentlemen of the convention, to
carry out that pledge SO solemnly made.
LApplause.l Weintend to use greeenbacks,
and we intend that every single greenback
lar, either in gold or silver. [Applause. ]
Now, we are the greenback party, par er-

ORGANIZATION AND ARGUMENT.

But, fellow-citizens, these things have
taken root. You must meet these issues
fairly and squarely, and meet them with
arguments. You must meet them in your
school districts; you must organize in your
counties, in your cities, in your villages,
and in your towns. They will not stand
argument for half hour. You must meet
them and put them down by argument.

IT ENDED

| Now, fellow citizens, it is said that the
mission of the Republican party is ended,
! and that the party ought to die. What has
that party done that it ought to die? We
have had control of the nation for little
over seventeen years. What have we ac-
complished in those seventeen years? What
have we done, that it is time for us to die?
When we took control of this Government,
in time of profound peace, when we had
not had war for a long time, the credit
of the Government was SO low that your
per cent gold bonds sold for eighty six cents
on the dollar or discount of fourteen per
| cent. We carried on war for the preser-
walton of the Union. We carried it on for
four long years, expending $4,000, 900, 900,
nearly one-half of which we have paid; and
to-day your 4 per cent. bonds, notwithstand-
ing you owe $4,000, 900, 900, instead of be-
bonds were when we took possession of this
Government your per cent. bonds are to-
day worth their par in gold. [Applause.
We have raised the credit of the Govern
ment; we have saved the nation; we have res
tored the country, and we have abolished
slavery and we have broken the shackles off
from 4, 900, 900 of slaves. We have improved
your rivers and harbors; we have carried
out every pledge ever given to the nation
except one, and that was to make green
backs equal with coin, and we have got
within 1 cent of that The Republican
party is progressive. 1t is up with the spir-
it of the age, and it will keep up with the
spirit of the age.
The mission of the Republican party will
not be ended until every single citizen of
the North, South, and West, black and
white, enjoys the blessings of freedom, the
blessings of self-protection, the blessings of
the elective franchise, and every blessing
belonging to free man under this Govern
ment [Applause.]
PARTIES BUILT UPON GREAT IDEAS.
Fellow-citizens. did not intend to talk
SO long; but one single word more. Politi-
cal parties are not made by any man or set
of men. They grow upon great ideas.
They are not killed by any man or set of
men. When political parties die, they COM
NIT suicide; they die because they abandon
the great principles upon which they were
created. What great principle that the
Republican party ever advocated has it aban-
doned? What principles does it abandon
to day that it has ever advocated? No, fell
citizens, the Republican party is not
prepared to die; nor does it intend to die.

A dispatch from st. Petersburg says:
A correspondent Of the Nord Dcutsche
Altwegmaine Zeitung, writing about
the Russian demand for Bessarabia,
says: "Let no one deceive himself US
to what is coming. The desire to re
cover Bessarabia is only symptom of
wish pervading the entire Russian
nation to destroy the Paris treaty."
The Times, in its leading editorial,
says, regarding this: "Russia appears
to be ready to make numerous conces'
sions, provided she can substitute for
the common European interests in
Turkey set of isolated and conflicting
interests, and can thus emancipate
herself, no less than Turkey, from di
rect obligations towards Europe. 1t is
this disposition against which we must
persisteutly protest, and II Russia really
seeks peaceful issue to the present
complications, she must recognize the
principles she has acknowledged on
former occasions. Let her only do
that, and concessions even less than
those she offers might in some respects
satisfy this country"
Political news from the continent,
though contradictory, and conveying
but an imperfect idea of what the fu
ture may be, Is looked upon favorably
in the stock markets. Prices opened
ct general improvement. Console
and Russian securities showed an ad'
vance.
