The Republicans can not bring word of as
perslon on the fame, gallantry or purity OF
Gen. Hancock. (Renewed cheers.) There was
another man We wanted to vote for, noble
Roman among who We could place in Con-

Let as then place him to the front next Tues
day. (Cheers) Don't fight over the minor
offices; let US vote for the men we can elect,

bad gathered for the purpose Of putting down
fraud and corruption; to speak of the most
gallant soldier in the late war, Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock. (Cheers.) There had been no

Oapt. CASTLE of Saltwater, who made an elo-

people were called on to decide whether the
executive chair would be filled by perjurer or
an honest man. (Applause.)
Another issue was whether the people would
send man like Washburn to represent the
Third district, whose character and
record had been besmirched with Official corrup-
ton; or a man whose character was without
stain or blemish. (Applause( If the Demo
Gratis come to time next Thursday Gen. Sibley
would go to Congress and Washburn and his
cahouts would take the back seat.
JUDGE FLANDRAU.
Mr. Kelly then introduced Judge Flandrau
of this city.
He said some one had stated that the DEM
oorats had been frightened at the reports
from Indiana; in looking at the sea of faces
Democrats were capable of being
frightened. (cries of never, never.}

CAPT. BANNING.
Mr.. Kelly then introduced Capt Banning.
In commencing his remarks Capt Banning said
he would go farther than the former speakers,
who had pointed out the issues of the ca r.
paign. and the merits of the candidates. He
would speak personally of Gen. Sib!ey. What
ever were the results of the election, whether
he should be elected or defeated, he had always
been foremost when honesty was demanded or
integrity stood at a premium. (Applauae.)
The speaker said that in the history OtHcvi.
lizatIon, from its earliest existence until now,
there had never been a congu, red people
wrecked in their theories of all that was dear,
which had accepted as gracefully as be South
had done. There never had been men who had
dropped controversies as did the people of the
South who had accepted the issues and Joined
in building up the institutions of the country.
Why not drop this black bitterness of hatred,
and work together for common prosperity.
The South had acknowledged that they were in
error; they say they were mistaken; they
struck as proudly for the flag; they were as ea-
ger to promote the prosperity of the country
as the North.
What says Conkling, the exponent OF the Re.
publican party? He had said it is true that
slavery is abolished, but tine geography of the
country, the latitude, the commerce of the
country, demand that they should be va.sals.
The speaker thought that if Conkling was to
go to Luclfer with such damnable theories on
his lips that the devil would say, Here is
box Of matches; go out and make hell for
YOURSELF (Applause and lauehter.) Although
you have abolished slavery, although you have
recuperatod your commerce, because you live
In certain latitude and place, Conkling has
said we will consign you to perpetual ienor-
