ADDRESS OF EX-GOVERNOR WALKER. -
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow-Citlzens,-
These kindly greetings are but the omen OF
democratic triumph, Tits immense ASSEM-
| blaoe. these generous cheers, these enthu-
Siastic demonstrations, are evidence OF lne
I hiobest character that here. in lis hereto-
tore strongest citadel, the old regular Dem
ocracy cannot and shalt not be defeated. IL
"a figbtino this wear with double-headed
| enemy. TIE Republican party does not
| t.ke issue with the Democracy upon the
great. Questions Of reform in the State ad-
ministration-on the question or the reouc-
ton OF taxation, upon the question OF
canal policy which makes the canal sell-sus-
tanning rather than burden upon the lax
PAYERS. They take no issue upon these points.
! They we'll know that a contest upon tnese
issues would result in inevitable disaster and
tbe overthrow Of the Republican party.
Under what banner do they. propose to
fight? Under the banner OF good State gov
eminent, or, as their first plank in their
platform declares, I" Honesty, efficiency, and
economy in every department Of the gov
eminent %" oh, no; they propose nothing
OF that kind. They sail under different
banner, and what is it? A voice, The
bloody shirt."] Why, that same old banner
that has waved over them in every one OF
their contests since the war, truly charac-
terizcd as the "bloody shirt We need
not let this device OF theirs divert Us from
State issues. l said to you that our
opposition was a sort OF double
header. I have taken q brief glance at
the greater head; now let us look at the
lesser. I have not investigated, and dou't
care TO, all the grievances OF Tammany
Hall against that patriot and statesman,
Lucius Robinson. [Great appause.] 1t
is sufficient for me that they are entirely
and purely and solely Of personal charac-
ter. and do not involve any great principle
or policy of interest to the State. | have
been taught from my youth that the cardi-
nal tenet OF Democraticfaith was unqualified
submission to the willof the majority, when
honest. That is the great, inheslre prtnc1-
pie by which the Democratic party has been
held together. Destroy it, override it, quail
ify it, and your party cannot exist for day,
and ought not to, for it would belle its very
name. [Applause.l Now, there is 10 ques-
ton about Governor Robinson'S majority
of two thirds and more-[applauSe]- land
no one educated and believing sincerely in
Democratic principles can bolt that ticket.
GApplause. depIore the action Of Mr..
Kelly and his followers; but while deplore
i, ] condemn it as unjustifcd, unwarrantcd,
unpatriotic, and most undemocratic. [Great
applause.l / even yet hope that they may
see the error of their ways, and. like
the prodigal son, return once more to
the parental residence. Laughter and APP
plause.1 We will welcome them as did he
OF the olden time his prodigal son. But,
| fellow-citizens. I have shown you that II
YOU could confne the larger head OF this OPP
nosition 10 the legitimate issues OF the CAM
paign they would acknowledge defeat at the
commencement. now ask YOU here in the
| CITY OF New York-you who are familiar with
| its politics, you who understand the move
ment and nature of popular feeling, espe-
cialy among the Democratic ask you If
there is any real danger that this revolt IN
the Democratic party will insure in the city
OF New York maiority>fo CorneIl' [Cries
OF "No, no."] See TO 1T on election-dav
that you send to me the Veritication OF
what you now say. [Cries OF 1--WE
will" Applause.l l don't believe that
there can be found Democrats enough in
this State beside themselves, so forsetful
of their interests, their duty to themselves,
their State and country, as to band them
selves together in league with our old and
ancient and bitter enemy. II there were
any possible. good to be achieved by it there
might be some excuse for it, but the sole
and avowed purpose is to overthrow the
Democratic party and raise into power It's
| old enemies. Why, fellow-citizcns, what a
spectacle Lifelong Democrats to-day band
| ed together to defeat all that they pretend
| to hold most dear politically! The labors
and the thoughts and the opinions OF life
! time sacrificed upon the altar OF that M
clean god, personal resentment. / dou't
believe it will win. believe that we can
| overthrow ibis double-headed monster, and
| achieve Il triumph in November next. We
| in the country will do our duty, and we
ask you to see to it that no honest work
| and no honest means be wanting to your
success here in the city.
