Commissioners. and they should apply prompt

Senior Zamacona, late Mexican minister TO
the United states, has, during the last few
months. accomplished great work OF reform
In the politics Of Mexico. The chief trouble 10
that country has grown out Of the division of
parties into factions, each of which warred
against the other. This kept the country in
constant turmoil during q political canvass.
In the last presidential race the liberal party
was split into five factions, each having It's own
ticket In the field, though all protesting to sup
port the same principles. Senior Zamicona un-
oertook 10 unite the party into one compact
organization, and his first step In this direction
was 10 induce the opposing factions to consent
10 national convention for the adjustment of
dinerenees. This proposition was accepted,
and the prospect is that the united liberal
party viii be powerful enough. for time at
least, to peacefully control political matter;

Kneeliug so low al my feet,
While pride in my heart runs riot,
And the sense of triumph is sweet.

With servants at my command,
And ease and comfort and pleasure
Close within reach of my hand.
Lo! the fire has burned to embers,
The room is chilly and dark, WAY,
There's well-kuown step at the door
For John is coming; and, bark!
The coo of my own dear baby,
Lying awake in her nest,
And we welcome papa together,
and the child on my breast:
For though my castles have fallen,
And grandeur has vanished away,
No queen could be prouler or richer
Than with my dear ones to-day.

toads, | will give you my cow
The other waited for nothing more

But when it was swallowed his cour-

THE FIERY TEST.
Now, gentlemen, let me ask you
one thing. Havin, passed tt rough
this fire Of examination, let ne ask
this crowd whether there has been
the first breath Of suspicion as to
The honor, intelligence, fidelity or
patriotism Of that renowned and
great soldier?
Why was he nominated? He new
er held civil office. True. He
has a military record as brilliant, as
uusulliel, as glorious as that of any
man in America. Why did the
Democratic party nominate 4 militia
ry man? will tell you why. Be
cause this man has proved that God
gave him the same characteristics. of
conscience and of self control which
He gave to the great George Wash
ington. My friends, that is not the
extreme utterance of stump speech.
1t is the deliberate utterance of a
man struggling to see the right and
to follow it.
Since this world was there has
been no influence so dangerous and
corrupting to mems hearts as love of
power. What was free government
designed for but for the protection
of the minority against the majority?
The great difficulties and dangers to
liberty have arisen wherever men
intrusted with power have used it to
perpetuate their own sway aud bring
about tyranny instead of limited
government. We know what made
Washington so conspicuous when he
laid down his power and retired to
the privacy of his home. There are
many men as great as lie in military
knowledge and in the abilities OF
craftsmanship, but how many other
men would have voluntarily laid
down their power when they could
have used it for their own selfish,
tyrannical purposes9 I wish you to
comprehend this, because it is the
keynote of the nomination of Win
field Scott Hancock. He held great
power. He was Military Governor
of large extent of country. His
will could have been as law. At his
tpleasure stood the liberty of every
man. What was his course-his
course alone of all the Military Gov.
errors in this country for the las,
fifteen years?
When asked in Louisiana and
Texas to arrest persons he inquired
where was the judicial process
When asked TO try persons by mill
tary commissions he pointed to The
Jury of twelve. When asked to fine
men and to take from them theil
their property he demanded to know
by what right under civil laws ht
could do these things. Cries o
