non majority ofvotcs for Tilden which

spirit OF revolution and dcspotism DOS
sesscd those in charge Of our national
government, and by u mixture Of
fraud and force perverted the honest
results OF great election by the pco-
pie. [Chccrs.] The four and a quar-
ter million OF votes pollcd for Tildcn
ana Hendricks in 1876, will grow to
ilVc millions in 1880 for Hancock and
lEngllSh. This is not an idle boast.
The honest sentiment will so express
itself strongly ut the polls that no ono

The Republican party is II sectional
party, and lcgislatcs for classes and not
for the people. Itllas made the rich

corporations instead Of rcservinm them
TOR future generations. 1t paws its
debts by issuing new notes Of indcbt-

granted by it and the lobby waxcl fat
until Il Democratic House checked the
tide OF corruption.
More especially is the course Of the
hcpubilcan party to The negro con-

Senator Bayartl then paid a glowing
tribute to Hampton, and denounced
the Radicals who arc cndcavorinr TO
torture his speech al Staunton into re-

the seeds OF discord. Yet any man
who has such congressional record as
garfield has, is wise il he nics.at any

neither party secured absolute control
OF Tic government. The Republican
party, however, had refrigerated from
its former high position until in 1876
II bad to resort to fraud TO retain the
presidency. This decline owes its
origin TO causes underlying the gov
crnncnt. Two forces, the ccntrifuual
and The ccntripctal. have ALWAYS been
at work. for Il while Rcpublicanism
triunphcd, through Democratic mis-
takes, but now local self government
is the rock on which the Democracy
stands, and the people Of the Union,
startled at their experience with Il
"slrong government" are coming into
the Dcmocratic party. Tho Dcmoc-
r'tcy or South Carolina have kept
every pledge, and they will not
go backward. Answer back the
call OF tho National Democracy. See
that your banner floats first where
Hancock and English lead in tho
shock OF battle in November. (Ap-

Gen. Butler then spoke at length
with effect, tout Ii q on the indcpcndcl t
issue and said that there is no half way
ground. Whoever says he is Demo-

II Is dclusion to say there is differ

IT is this very difference that undcrlics
INC significance OF llancock's nomina-

striklhg contrast TO the deeds Of other
military commanders. Garfield is q

General Butler then called on the
people 10 be ON their guard against the

OConlor and Richardson. no the

Indulge not only in spccch-making,
but do the work that is essential to

Gen. BrAtton next introduced Hon.
Nj. l.. OConnor, who delivered a rat
Ting speech, arraigning the Radical
party for its corruption and for the
manner in which it swindcd the poor
