New York, Sep. 17.-After an elo.
quent ailusion to the grandeur and
the blessings Of the republic, Conkline
said:
The democratic party Is the demo.
cratic candidate, and I am against the
ticket and all its works. The general
issue confronting US is in itself, and in
its bearings, sectional. Would that Il
were not SO, but II Is 50. In twelve
states Of the union the approaching
election Is to be no more than a farce
unless, as has sometimes happened, II
Is to be turned into a tragedy. In sew
eral Of the southern states there is a
republican majority, but all the south

without doubt, are relied upon to count
upon the democratic side and score
one hundred and thirty-eight electoral
votes There is to be no free debate,
no equal rights. no true expression in
these cities; and yet he who discusses
these questions must be told In the
coarse parlanc Of the day that he
"waves the bloody shirt"

count in some OF the southern states,

read Gen. Grants recent letter, In
