GARFIELD RATIFICATION
MEETING.
Speeches by Caldwell & Davies.

Pursuant to call the Republicans
of this place held ratification meet
ing at the courthouse last Saturday
evening, There was large attend
ance and much enthusiasm.
This meeting was called to order
by George w. Feidt, Esq, who call
ed for report from the Committee
of Arrangements. The chairman of
the committee, w. III. III. Flick,
Esq, made report and said several
of the invited speakers had found it
impossible to be present. He then
read letter from Richard Burke,
Esq, Republican candidate for
State Treasurer, regretting his ina
bility to be present, and expressing
his hearty wishes for the success
of the meeting and the Republican
cause generally.
Mr.. Feidt then introduced George
b. Caldwell, Esq, of Wheeling, Re-
publican candidate for Attorney
General, who was received with en-
thusiastic applause, and proceeded
to address the meeting in a rather
stalwart manner.
He charged the Democratic party
with being the advocates and de-
tenders Of slavery before the war;
that while claiming to be a party of
progress and reform and the friend
Of labor, it was a party of caste
that it had made a determined effort
to destroy the government and to
erect on the ruins a Confederacy
having for its foundation human
slavery. In this effort the leaders
alone were to blame. He had high
regard for the Confederate soldiers
who served in the ranks. He believ-
they were honest in their belief, al
though in his opinion terribly and
fatally wrong. Had he thought as
they thought, he would have fought
as they fought. He claimed that in
setting Mr.. Tilden aside the DEM
'ocracy had virtually cast overheard
the 'fraud'' cry, though many of
them are too stupid at this stage OF
the canvass to comprehend the fact.
The other issue shelved by the nomi-

BURIED

WHEN THE "sENIOR" announced
so positively that without the sup
port of the Statesman Mr.. Faulkner
could not receive the nomination for
GOVERNOR" and was cruel enough to
withhold that support, Mr.. F. no
doubt felt down hearted. But things
are brighter now. The old chief
having wearied of war has washed
off his paint, and has consen ted to
be pacifed. 1t is very pleasant and
surprising to know that nothing but
'modesty'' prevented his doing the
fair thing by his countyman.
People have all along thought
something else was the matter with
him. If the sssenior" thinks he is
fooling anybody by the "modesty"
dodge he ought to be cuppsd for the
simples and put to bed.

nation of Hancock is the army Ques-
ton, on which the Democrats made
a desperate fight. The contest was
both bitter and fierce, but the party
at Cincinnati made an unconditional
surrender, and that issue is also dis
posed of. He thought, by the nomi-
nation of English, a National bank
er. the Democratic party had gone
back on their eternal war on Nat ion-
al banks, and he might go on and
show that the party has spiked its
own guns and has come over to the
Republican camp for quarters. He
claimed that the party had absolute
~ nothing left to make an issue on,
and that there is not one geeat prin-
ciple that the party has commended
for or made an issue with the Repub-
licans, except State rights, that it
has not abandoned, and by taking up
the Republican side, acknowledged
that their opponents were right and
they were wrong. And now, he
said, this party having made COM
plete flop, and squarely on Repub-
lican grounds, asks the intelligent
people of this country to place the
sSaho VI SoNSAHuituu III tuCii iduuS
because they are better prepared to
carry out Republican principles than
are. the Republicans themselves.
This, he declared, was the position
the Democratic party occupies to-
day before the country. The leaders,
he said. know full we'll that'the peo-
pie have no confidence In the old par
ty leaders, and SO they have made
cats paw out OF a union soldier to
get the chestnuts out of the fire.
They claim to occupy Republican
grounds, and having placed their
backs squarely on their own record,
and with loyal head from the II. 3.
army, and disloyal body and taiL
they hope to steal their way into
power. This, he said, like the Gree
ley scheme, will prove a profound
failure. fs 1Tfe
The speech throughout was receiv-
ed with enthusiastic outbursts of APP
plauee, indicating that the audience
was in entire and sweet accord with,
the sentiments Of the speaker .hns ii
Mr.. Feidt then introduced Charles
Davies, Esq, who held the crowd
for nearly an hour with one of his
inimitable speeches, Astounding in
wit, sarcasm, eloquence and logic.
He characterized Hancock as a
gallant soldier AMI a gentleman, but
thought he could not match Garfield
in craftsmanship. He exonerated
him from all blame for the part he
performed in the Surratt matter-he
simply did his duty as a soldier. He
then attempted to show the incon-
sistencies Of the Democratic party
record as contrasted with that of the
Republican party. He closed by read
ing official and other documents vim
dicating Garfield from the charges
of taking the salary grab, his connec-
tion with Credit Mobelier and the
De Golyer pavement contracts. His
remarks were enthusiastically ap-
plauded.
At the close Of the speaking, Mr..
Flick proposed three cheers for Gar
field and Arthur, which were given
with will, also three for Caldwell,
after which the meeting adjourned.

"MEssRs. EDITORS I just want
to congratulate you on having your
choice, Gen. w. S. Hancock, nomi-
mated at Cincinnati. You named
him as the best man several years
ago, and you have stood to him closer
than brother, when party friends
sneered at your devotion. Now that
Gen. Hancock has been chosen and
is to-day receiving the plaudits of
millions of his countrymen, let it not
be overlooked in the general joy that
the unpretentious editors OF the
Statesman were among the first to
point to him as the strongest candi-
date that the Democratic party could
name. Honor to whom honor is
DUE B."
Which will the "senior" take,
post-office, collector of internal rev
enue, or a foreign mission, and does
he prefer his commission on a silver
or golden waiter OF course as soon
as Gen, Hancock receives the mark
ed copies of the Statesman already
sent him, he will see the point and
telegraph at once, asking the old
mans preference of official positions.
It is to be hoped that the Senior
will not settle on foreign mission,
as it would involve his absence, an
irreparable loss to this community.
Things might go estray. The ''ju-
niors" might not have brains enough
