 The clock struck nine before the meeting at this stand was called to order The City band was assigned to the stand. Alexander Troup introduced William R. Shelton, who in turn introduced Judge D. 0. Birdsall, of Westport, who was received with applause The speaker said: You have been called to- gether to ratify the nomination of a gallant man. General Winfield Scott Hancock for President of the United States. Four years ago your State went for Samuel J. Tilden giving him handsome majority. This year you will elect General Hancock by majority of 9,99O. The nominee of the Republican party, General Garfield, is covered all over with slime of the corrupt party he represents and the slime of the Credit Mobilier upon him. had the honor to serve in the war under our chieftain of to-day. had the honor to be near him when he was wounded near unto death. I had the honor to know what kind of man he was. He was gallant soldier, and they say he has never had any expe- rience as a statesman What had Gen eral Grant eight years ago? Had he any experience as a statesman. Hancock is noth- ing but soldier Still man who is sol dier is not apt to be honored with anything else but soldier. But Hancock is honored with something else, and he will show what he is made of after November. They say he is political demagogue. He is high above those who seek to traduce his character The speaker alluded frequently to William H. Barnum's campaign textbook, and read what several prominent Republican office holders have said of General Hancock. In conclud- ing Judge Birdsall said that Governor An drews, a poor man and an honest man, who earned his living by the sweat of his brow up in Iitchfield county, had been ruthlessly pushed aside by the Republican party to make room for Mir. Bigelow, who has $50, ,000 to spend for his election as chief magistrate of this State Gentlemen, I tell you the nominee of the convention tomorrow will surely be elected

Preparing for Defeat.

The Republican forces have be.
come SO dcmoruiized from stragglinn
and descrtions, that Gen. Garfield
was ordered TO ride along the front 10
rally and encourage the broken batal-
ions. The leaders have held q council
OF war; but the chief was not invited
TO participate. If ever council OF
war gave token Of defeat, theirs sure
ly did. Each leader regarded his
own part of the line The weakest, and
each ciumolcd for reinfolccmcnts.
The crushing defeat in Alabama has
well-nigh produced a panic. While
the orders arc issued for an advance.
The stores are being moved to places
OF safety and the trains put in order
Tor asuddcn and hasty retreat. jew
ell proclaims that the party Golfers
are full but his hired Hessians will
only add disorder TO the final roul.

WfSsrS Editors:
Please announce MIR. CHARLES B.
GLOVER rs II candidate for the above
office. 1t is useless to say anything In
his favor, as his ability Is already dis
played by the manner in which he has
discharged the duties Of that position du-
ring his term of service. We further urge
our claim in his behalf on the ground
that the incumbent of that office ought
TO have considerable experience in the
practice OF law, rs the Office is not ''min-
isterial," but is beyond doubt "Judi-
cial." Any persons desiring to satisfy
themselves on this point can do so bv re-

In view of this, we say to every one
remember what we have at stake.
Let every one resolve to yield ipdi-
vidual preferences where the good of
the party can bo snbscrvcd. The de-
feat of any individual candidate is a
small matter compared with what

Let harmony and CONCERT Of action

THIS is = hat a prominent member
OF the Republican National Commit
tee at . meeting in New York on the
9th, had to cay OF the Southern pc,i
t'oners: They are simply trying to
make all they c:n out of the fact that
they are Republicans in the South and
10 enrich themselves with money beg
ged TO help in the elections. These
fellows look upon the campaign as n
harvest time, just as the delegates
from the South did on the Chicago
Convention" Now this is pretty
heavy on Straker, Webster G. Co..
who were, delegates TO the aforesaid
convention. We suppose, however,
that the committeeman knew what he
