L. W. .Peckham, Of New Yosk, said: It is votes
that we want and must have. How she'll We get
them? When Tilden was nominated (cheering)
in 1876 in st. Louis Lucius Robinson, OF New

ernorship who cut off the head OF the County
Clerk for default, whereupon Mr.. Kelly declared
war. But the people elected their Governor
al the next State election in spite OF MI Keileys

bloody with the gore OF the Democratic party, ne
asks that the regular delegation should be dis

Keep the regularsin their seats and We will secure
the full electoral votes Of New York.

Government. From 1889, when this Governmen
was established, to this day, we have had Opp0s
lug parties III this American Republic. Whe
Jefferson was elected there were men who tried t.
prevent him from taking his seat, and am sorr
to say there are such to-day who have succeeds
in their scheme at the last election of Tiden an
Hendricks. legally elected. lGreat cheers.
But Mr. Tilden and MIR. Hendricks chose rathe
to have their seats denied them, than involve tn
country in bloody struggle, ana asserted tn
principle that ready obedience to the law is esscr
tial 10 free government But although they di
not enjoy that high homer, they can say In tn
language OF the poet: .
"More real JOY Marcelles in exile feels.
Than Cesar with the Senate at his ieet''
Ibeseech you to rise above personal motives
for there is not State that can not furnish yo
with half dozen candidates who can bear you
fag to victory. All you have to do, gentlemen,
to nominate a true, enlightened and experience
Democrat, who every inch shall be patrio
worthy Of the support of yourselves and tn
country. That know you will DO
