William Lloyd Garrison, who, he said, pub
ished paper. The Mayor of Boston was
asked by one of these Southern men to stop
that paper and keep it from circulating in
the South. That Mayor replied that
it was only an obscure publication.
not worthy of notice. The memory of
that noble man will live long after
his abuser is forgotten. The North wasruled
by hand of iron, They were ostracized in
every way, aud were not allowed even to
think. 1t was q crime in the eyes of the
thought in regard to the institutions of
slavery.
But the Being who manages this world has
what is called retribution, and it has come at
last. The Sonth didn't trust the Northern
Democrats. The North never had Fresi-
dent, because the North could not be trusted.
He then followed the history Of the country
down to the present.
THE SOUTH Is NOT SOLID,
And never will be until this Government is
destroyed. Mr.. Lincoln, fairly elected to
Office, had to seek his Office in disguise, to
keep from being destroyed, and by whom
Not, as Judge Wallace would have the peo-
pie believe at the hands of the Republicans,
but at the hands of these secessionists. The
speaker proceeded to administer a most in
tensely scathing castigation of the Democratic
party, and showed clearly their inconsistency,
the falsity of all their pretenses, and tore the
masks from the faces of the schemers who,
when Lincoln was inaugurated, fired the
train that had been laid for many years. The
Democrats were the bounty. jumpers. The
Democrats degraded the public currency,
bought Southern scrip, discouraged the armies
of the Union, shirked the draft, resisted the
draft-Democrats, every man Of them. 1t is
THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCE
OF their doctrine. No Democrat ever ex-
pressed word of regret that slavery existed,
or ever tried to abolish it. The Democrats
of the North sold their manhood for few
loaves of official bread. But, he said. the
spirit of liberty was not dead. The institu-
ton Of slavery was doomed. They could
kick petitions under the table, but they could
not stop the men who presented those petit
tions from thinking. The South had no right
to secede. They had no cause to secede.
They had all the offices. But they had re-
solved to go, because they hated the North
with hatred that they would not relax, and
they refused to live with US any longer.
He showed the various Democratic plat
forms, where, he said, you could find any
thing in the world. Ii you wanted free trade,
you could find it. If you want tariff plat
form, you will find it.
THE GREAT FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Has been fought and won. He thanked
heaven that Americans were helped by loyal
hearted foreign-born citizens who saw the
issue. The resources of a generation have
been mortgaged to pay the loss of this great
war, but they are paying it off in good faith.
There has never been great eommotion
such as this was where the scaffold has not
reaped its harvest, except here in this free
country, where the men were allowed to go

to do this, but the band of yelping coyotes at
the North who aided and assisted them ought
to have been hung. [Applause These North

encouraged the South to keep up their great
struggle, saying, When you do succeed please

three rousing cheers were given for Judge

HON. A. q. SARGENT
Was then introduced in an eloquent manner
by the Chairman, Mr.. Cadwalader. He said
the demonstration of to-day was more elo-
quent than language could be, for it
augurs victory This gathering is
tribute to the October States. We have
felt, he said, the. electric thrill; we
have felt that there is victory in the air, 9TH
erwise it would have been impossible to as
sembIe such an audience. The Democrats
had their laugh when they made their NOM
nations, but they are not laughing much
now He would not, he said, talk long, be-
cause his mission was to call sinners, and not
the righteous. From the looks Of the badges
he thought there were very few sinners
around laughter. The speaker was hu-
morous throughout, and about equally di.
vided the audience with Senator Cheney at
the other stand. His speech abounded in
anecdotes, which elected roars of laughter.
He discussed the issues of the day in a clear,
candid manner, without any abuse or person
alities. He paid high
TRIBUTE TO GENERAL GARFIELD,
Whom he said he had known intimately for
long tine. lie reviewed his life from boy.
hood up, and his course since he entered
public life He considered him peculiarly
fitted for this highest of all positions He is
one of the people, and in full sympathy with
them, and with the spirit of Republicanism.
He alsc reviewed the career of Chester A.
Arthur, describing his course in setting free
number of negroes who were brought through

State He cited numerous acts Of his life to
show that he was peculiarly qualified to
occupy this high position on Republican
ticket. He is no chance nominee he is
man of whom the Republican party may be
proud.
Mr.. Sargent said it is always the industrial
classes who pay the taxes. The Democrats
ran the Government into debt; the Republi-
cans ara reducing expenses and paying off
the debt. For every second OF time since the
war, by day or by night, 81 90 has gone off
of the national debt. Is not that showing
of economy: [Applause.l Under Buchanan
two to three millions were stolen under
Hayes only several thousand. [Applause.
Notwithstanding Judge Wallace he denied
that it was the Democrats who put down the
rebellion [Applause.l He denied that it
was the Republicans who fired on Sumter

THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION.
A Democratic success means the payment
Of Southern claims, and he asserted it as
fact of which he was thoroughly
satisfied. There are bills pending
amounting to thousands of millions.
There are claims for poultry, pigs
and fences. Bills for rent of the battle
grounds on which they were whipped. If
they are not to be paid, why are these claims
filed away and evidence preserved? Why
are these bills presented to Congress. It IS
useless to deny it-they will be paid if the
Democrats ever get into power. The ques-
tion is now whether the national debt shall
be doubled. That would be the result of
Democratic success. Another result would
be the destruction of free ballot. He went
on to describe the method by which several
thousand bogus naturalizations were issued in
an hour-regular Courts for that purpose
and these fraudulent voters were sent all over
the other States wherever they were needed.
| The State of New York cannot be carried
this time by any such methods; hence the
State is sure for Garfield; hence these howls.
he went on to describe the process of stuffing
ballot-boxes in the South, and the demonstra-
ton elected roars Of laughter. He him
self had visited Florida, with committee,
and upon investigating he found that the
ballots were numbered. A master would
give one of these numbered ballots to his
negro hired man, and then record his name
and the number in book, and after the
election the ballots were examined, and if it
was found that he had not voted that ballot,
he was Immediately discharged and ostra-
cized. We appeal to poor men to put veto
upon any such thing as that, ard to upheld
the purity of the ballot box.
The Republicans promise to keep the green
back as good as gold. They have made them
as good as gold, and they will keep them SO.
They promise to protect free ballot. They
promise pure elections and they promise that
