their ruin virtuous men by their neces-
sites and temptations.
And when We compare the records OF
these great parties and point out the
necessary and anticipated results OF the
Republican policy, Mr.. Sherman cries
aloud: ave have resumed specie pay
ments," and processes to expect US to
find compensation and consolation Tor
all these wrongs so ruthlessly, so I'M
necessarily inflicted. We might have
had full specie payments and avoided
all of them. We might have paid much
OF the principal of the public debt, and
so have reduced the interest. We
might have had prosperous business,
industries bringing their reward, and a
contented people. Strikes, riots, popu-
lar, unlawful uprisings are the efforts,
honest but generally wrong and mis-
directed, TO remedy some affecting EVIL.
Contented hearts, full stomachs, APP
peased appetites, inmates OF comfortable
homes do not not.
THE SOURCES OF PROSPERITY.
We have been told very often, and
somewhat ostentatiOusly, by the Presl-
dent and his Secretary, that good times
are coming, and with an air which seems
to claim the credit OF having produced
them. In this country, so blessed by
Providence in soil and climate and ca
pacity for production, inhabited by
people so vigorous and enterprising,
made up Of the strong, the brave, and
daring OF all nations, we must have good
times except for the obstruction OF bad
legislation. Gods sun will shine; HIS
rain will fall His promised seed-time and
harvest will come. Prosperity is COM
ing not because of, but despite,
the Republican policy, Notwithstanding
every effort made for many years to OBJ
struct it, notwithstanding the Secre'
tary's policy OF contracting and hoard.
ing, and thereby resuming. II good
times are coming, we owe 1t not TO Mr..
Sherman, not to Republican policy, but
to the restriction of the cancellation OF
greenbacks. to the reconciliation OF sill
yer, 10 three years OF abundant crops
here, TO years OF short crops abroad, TO
the great influx of coin because OF our
large exports and to the cessation oitur-
ther contraction.
Passing on hurriedly, with an apollo
gv for keeping his hearers so long IN
such an uncomfortable situation, MIR.
Pendleton closed with a
GOOD WORD FOR THE TICKET
nominated by the Democracy OF Ohio:
Fellow-DemOcrats, we have an excel
lent ticket composed OF patriotic, Umon-
loving, wise men. They have shown
their wisdom in the halls OF legislation.
They have indicated their patriotism on
the field of battle. Let us give it a zeal
Gus, hearty support. Let us invite all
friends of good government and wise
policy and prosperous times to unite
with us. Let those who think alike
vote together. Let us meet the ques-
tons which confront us with faith, not
fear. Under the genial influences OF
these large crops and active markets
and improving trade business Is
reviving. The genius OF our
people, the immense recuperative power
of their energy and enterprise, will do
all the rest for their material prosperity.
Let Us strike hard for free elections; for
a pure ballot-box; for upholding bv the
civil power the civil administration OF
our laws; for IAN indestruCtible Union
of indestructible States" Let us push
investigations in financial science. The
people are wise. Their experience in
free government, their jealousy OF pow
er. the necessities of their unequaled
business activity will this year or next
wear, or in their own good time, re-
trievc temporary errors and solve these
questions in the interest of high adj
vancing benctCent civilization.
AT THE CLOSE
of his remarks, Mr.. Alexander invited
all who desired 10 be presented to the
Senator 10 come forward and be intro
duccd, and the invitation was unani-
mously accepted, and for half an hour
he shook hands with his hearers. a
beautiful bouquet was presented TO
him by Mrs. Frank JepsOn, OF this city,
who was in the audience. We noticed
also John 0. Pendleton, f. G.. Cracraft,
l.. ). Jordan, Mr.. Harmon, John Dun
lap and other well known citizens from
this side of the river.
Senator Pendleton while at Martins
Ferry is the guest of Mr.. Fred Parke, Jr.,
and at his residence REGISTER repre-
sentative called last evening in company
with several prominent local politicians.
Mr.. Pendleton expressed a confidence
in the success of the Democracy on the
l4th inst. He thought there was
good hope of carrying Hamilton
county, and said that wherever
he went he hears of Republicans
who have changed their votes this fall,
but knows of no Democrats anywhere
who will not vote for Ewing and Rice.
The Senator went west last night from
Bellaire on the G.. o. road, at 1880.
One pleasant feature of the meeting
last night was the music, which was
produced by Prof. Wallace's Cornet
Band, new organization, but re-
markably good one. AS musicians they
are n success.
