l feel like saying in the strongest Ian
guage of which I am capable; Let us
drop all personal considerations, let
us offer up everything to the success
of the party. [Applause
We are to have no puerlle contest
this fall. The late Saratoga conven-
tion has issued its mandate. Prior to
its assembling there was discord and
bitterness In the Republican ranks.
How Is 1t now? Everything has been
quieted; the party lash has been used;
not even that wenkling who to-day
occupies the Presidential chair squeaks
against the party leaders. We are to
have united and defiant aggressive
Republican party to put down. There
is in my judgement but one way to
put 1t down, and that Is by locking
shields in the old Greek style, and
with a phalanx ordered in that man
ner crush our opponents by the mere
momentum of our serength and our
movement. Applause
X The old revolutionary motto, you
know, was united we stand, divided
we fall" Applause.
A divided Democracy means dis
graceful defeat and rout. Can we af-
ford IL? tCries Of mo! No! Never ~
No; say. five all say never, there
should be sense, judgement and pa
triotsm enough in this grand assem-
bly, OF New York Democrats to solve
the diflirullies. Applause Yon
will find within ten days their order
of battle marked ont and proclaimed.
If we here, to-day and Tomorrow,
thoroughly organize our battle, we
can put down those forces and achieve
victory in November Let me ask
you one question. Why Is it that the
Republican party has become az sud
ddenlv and so thoroughly united?
What has become of the refOrmers? ?
Why they have been kicked into the
party, and to day they are thanking
providence that they had been kicked
back, Laughter. What has be-
come of civil service? 1t is being H.
lustrated bv taxing the poor Govern
ment employees for funds to run the
Republican campaign. Where are the
administration Repuhlicans? To-day
they are singing rieans ofpraise to the
man that this administration under.
took TO disgrace by removal from q
high public position. I Instance these
lhinfa to show how thorough il the
union Of our opponents. What is the
cause of it? The leading man Of that
convention and the dictator Of tho
Republican party in this Ftotn has
snid "thp Democrats will need but ~
electoral votes to elect a President IN
1850 and the State OF New York las
So votes Give them to the Demo-
Gratis aud they will have the resldpu-
cy." ! take him at his word for This
once, [LauGhter.l ] believe Ire is
correct. II we carry the State this
tall the Presidential election Of 1850 Il
won. Applause IF we carry the
election this fall we continue to the
people Of the state the henilccn"o OF
honesty, integrity and falthfulnesa in
State administration, Applause Ie
there not enough IN all this, aside from
the other reasons that ! have given,
to induce us in all spirit Of harmony,
of interest in the country, the good Of
the State and the people, If we have

A New Way to Treat Diphtherla.


Quite discovery in the treatment of
diphtheria has been made here. A
young man, whose arm had been ampu-
tated, was attacked by diphtheria before
healing took place, and instead of the
matter incident to that disease being de-
posted in the throat, the greater portion
appeared on the wounded arm, and the
diphtheria was very light and easily
managed, Or. Davis, of Mankato,
proiltcd by this, and in his next case Of
diphtheria bllstercd his patients chest,
and on this blistercd part the chief de-
posts appeared. This was also an easy
case of the disease. The theory Of DR..
Davis is that diphtheria usually appears
in the throat because of the thinness Of
the lining of the throat. Hence, when
the blister breaks the skin upon any
other part Of the body, the disease ap-
pears there. Nupcsa0ta letter to he So

AFtNAL DECISION.


On Monday last Mr.. S. j. Gilmore,
Land Commissioner of the Kansas Pa
cific Railway, received tho following
telegram:
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 2lst, 1879.
Sd. GILMORE: The Supreme Court
today decide Plat case in favor Of the
companies. A mortgage is disposal OF
the land. HENRY BEARD,
Attorney for tho Kansas Pacific Co.
Tho case mentioned in tho telegram
was that of w. S. Plat VS.. tho Union
Pacific Railway Company, involving tho
right Of settlers to pro-empt lands grant
cd by Congress to the Railroad Compa-
ny, under tho act of July LIST, 1862. Tho
act referred to provided that oil lands
granted to tho company should be liable
to pro-omption "if not sold or otherwise
disposed OF" within throo years after tho
completion of the road. On the Sd OF
September, 1873, tho Secretary OF the
Interior decided that a mortgage cxccu-
tod by tho company upon lands in 1867
was not disposal of the same within
the meaning OF the statute. This court
however, reverses the decision of the
Interior Department and holds that q
mortgage was such disposal and conse-
qucntly tho tract of land claimed by
complainant was not open to pre- emp
ton whom he undertook to pre-empt it,
and that he has not an equitable title.
The decree was affirmed. Justice Strong
delivered tho opinion, Messrs. Bradley,
Clifford and Miller dissenting.
Thus much vexed question is final
ly and forever settled. 1t has boon tho
opinion from the first Of some of tho
best lawyers in tho country that Secro-
tary Schurz's decision could not stand,
and this opinion has boon sustained by
tho two highest tribunals in tho land.
Persons who may have made settlement
on lands of tho railway, arc advised, if
they desire to secure tho land, to lose no
time in making application for purchase
to the Land Commissioner.
