did tbe Northern patrlot notice the superabnnd-
ancc Of Southern oratory in the Tdmmany gorlhca-
ton
II is noticeable that nearly all the Solid Southern
orators who spoke ut the Tammany meeting ie''
called upon to say something on the southern
claims question. Senator Bayard was especia"9
prominent in defence. He declared that the Con
situtiona amendments forbid the payment D.
claims which can be set over against Senator hu-
munds's declaration that they do not There eau oc
no question as TO which mans opinion is entitled 70
more weight Mr.. Bayard also repeated the old
point that the claims are made almost entirely Dy
"loyalr citizens, and that the RepubllcaD ana ho'
the Democratic parry is in favor OF Their payment
An answer to this l. found III The VOte III Ihc ,luH
on June 20, 1878 on Mr. CODgeTs JOINT resoiutoi
for an amendment iOibddlng the payment vi az
claims made by dsloyal persons. Of the 40 Votes
~ favor of that resolution only tour were east ~
Southern Democrats. OF the Gl votes against IL %
were cast by Southern Democrats.
Blackburn the Wiper. always was an able
stLmper-lor the Republican party
Tammany howled poor Belmont off the stage and
listened with uproarious delight to Bayard ll ana
Mackay, all Solid Southern orators. Tammany
knows whicb end Of the party swings 1t.
Ben Hill, that booming patriot whose mouth bad
to be padlocked IN Congress to keep him from rum
ing his party. arises in iammany Hail. and speak
ing tor he Solid South says Try Us, ana If we do
not prove TO You that these Republican charges are
untrue we will covenant never to ask Tor power
again." The country has tired you. YOu have had
control Of the House for nearly five years and the
Senate for year, and what have you net You
have vOfcd sOlldly against resumption and IN favor
OF repudiation you have voted solidly against pen
sious for Union soldiers solidly for pensions for
rebel soldiers; YOU nave voted solifIy III favor OF
taking Offices from Union soldiers and giving them
10 rebel soldiers; you have voted Sody against an
efforts To prevent the payment of dISlOya claims
Won voted soldy in favor of destroying all the sale
guards of honest eec ions and III favor OF all efforts
To bulldoze the President into submitting 10 your
threats to wipe the last vestige OF war Legislation
from the statute-boOks." That Is trial enough 1or
the present.
Tammany chcered Hancock and Plaisted impair
TALLY. GLORIOUS"
Let Kentucky do her duty, and there is no dan
ger about the result in Indiana" That is what
Democratic newspaper of Kentucky says to Ken
tucky Democrats. 1t means that Kentucky Demo
Gratis shall cross the border and stuff the ballot
boxes in IudIana ali III the interest of change"
and what Glorious Hancock calls full yote
tree ballot and a far count"
Hancock dld not view the Tammany parade but
a good many sober citizens did, and mentally ejacu-
lated Well, if that crowd gets possession OF the
Government, we WU have a change
1t was cruel tOr ldMlndny 10 DOitic up bcluOhl
speech IN him, by refusing to hear him. He was
very red in the face when he left the platform. but
he found relief by giving his man script to the
Democratic organs and having the rejected great
effolt printed in full. The trouble that he was
irving TO convince Tammany that a change"
would cause no financial business disturbance.
which Is not al all the view winch the average
Tanmauyl.c takes The widest kind If n disturb

Wade Hampton. III his Tammanv speech, said
that But soft he'll deny it presently. and after
ward confess thar his denial il untrue. and then
the observation will be worth quoting. Let us not
spoil II by being premature.
Charles Francis Adams emlts a few more fervid
words about fraud, but ho has not even a frigid
word for either Hancock or English mot one either
for glorious Plalsted.
This dispatch of Glorious Hancocks to a friend
in California has not received tie attention 1t
deserves 1t was sent directly after the Name
election: "The result on the Atlantic front is very
encouraging. May 1t be equaled on the Pacific
coast to which am warmly attached. with which
am identified by early associations and whose
interes sts | understand. and in any sphere of life
would always endeayOr TO promote" AS square
bid tor votes, that takes the cake"
The South voted soldy against amendment
forbidling the payment of Southern claims 1t is
rank " "sectionalism" to mention tiS fact
