Extract from Gen. Beatty's speech
in the Ohio Republican Convention:
~ wish to amend the report which has
been made 10 you by the Committee on Res
olutions. The Administration has been in
dorsed. Now, what have You indorsed :
The leading featurrsof the Administration
are the Southern policy, the Civil-seryice
policy and the Financial policy. Now,I un-
dertakc 10 say that the Southern policy Of
this Administration Is an outrage upon the
rights Of the Republicans Of the South. The
Civi-sersice policy isa sham, and the veto OF
the silver bill was an effort TO defeat the only
measure which made resumption possible
without universal bankruptcy. Applause,
Kisses and considerable confusion. IL
understand this Southern policy renewed
applause and his-csl--I hear the geese who
are kissing to-day, and give you notice that
unless you allow me to speak you will be
plucked in October Renewed applause
and Kisses and cries OF that's so.'1 Mr..
Chairman. II understand this thing which
you call the Southern policy Of the Admin
istration, il il n policy by which a great
party has been disappointed, Inundated
and betrayed. II Is q policy by which
two Republican states OF this Union have
been turned over into the hands Of rcb els
and Democrats. Applause and Kisses. II
il policy which has conciliatcd Democrats
by sacrificing our friends. II Il policy by
which he has wronged the Republicans OF
the South, who went through hel-hre to
put Rutherford u. Hayes into the Executive
office. II il policy Of cold bIooded ingrat-
itude. Loud applause and extensive hiss
ing and confusion. And, so help me God,
will never support any man who stands
upon that PLATFORM" Applause and Kisses,
with cries OF put him down, ""get out" and
$50 on.'l Gen. Beatty, resuming-"I sim
plv desire to say word more, and don't
care about saying that. [Crles OF go on.'l
desire simply 10 say that this policy Of in
gratitude, OF treachery TO the party, has been
tried before in this country, and II never led
either to honor or success. II was tried BY
MillaTd Fillmore, by John Tyler and by An
drew johnson, and Il left them without a
party and without following. For twelve
months these questions have been argued
before the people Of the United States, and
every single day for the past twelve months
the Administration has been losing friends,
and III you undertake 10 indorse the Adj
ministration you insure the defeat OF your
fiekefr
