on every great battlefield of the East, had
gloriously fought for the preservation of the
| Union of the constitution. Four years ago,
| he said, the country elected Tilden
and Hendricks and the Republican party
crowned its career of yillainy with that
damning political wrong, the theft of the
chief offices of the United States. That
| was party crime which should never be
condoned. It must never be repeated. In
conclusion Mr.. Willes congratulated his
hearers that the false issues on which the
Republican party has fought its campaigns
were now forever obliterated and in the
nomination of the most gallant soldier of
the republic we had raised happy portents of
Democratic victory.
WIN L. KELLY, ESQ.
Upon being introduced Mr.. Kelly said
Do you ask me whence comes our candidate
Then will answer thee
He cO1Jes from an undivided nation,
And its President will be.
Not from one section alone-but from all the
| States, not from one battle field of the Repub-
| lie, but from q hundred, not from one victory,
! laurelcrowned and glorious, but from sc pres
of victories, not alone from the military camp,
| but from victories of peace as well as Wharf.-The
| idol of the people, the expectancy of the
| nation, the leader of the defenders of con-
| stitational liberty, the next President of the
! United States-Winield Scott Hancock comes.
! He comes the free choice of the Southern
| people whose mad rebellion he did so much to
| conquer. He comes, the free choice of mill
| ions of freemen who chung through those dark
| days to the Union of States under a govern
| ment of just and equal laws, as the ark of our
national safety. He comes TO allay all sectional
hate and bind our bloody and broken banner
| with abe olive of peace.
Do you demand strong man. man of
| iron and power, fer your President? Behold
him at Warwick Court House, at Yorktown,
at GARRETT Hill, at Scragg Station, at White
Oak Swamp, at Williamsburg, at Chancellor
VILE a. Smith Mountain, at Antietam-
always the front Heading his resistless column
Behoiu him after the death OF Reynolds snatch
ing victory from defeat at Gettysburg when
terry Hill, the againsts desperate but
vain assault of LoDgstreet, at
the head of as brave an army ever march
ed to victory or death. There the pride of the
| south land was broken; there upon the soil of
the Keystone state in the red hbatiOn of pat
| riot blood the arch of the Union was cemen ted
anew never to fall again. And the men who
lowed him in honoring the genius that directed
the matchless carnage which won that blood
bought and glorious field.
They fought like brave men leng and we'll
They piled that ground with rebel slain,
They conquered-but great Hancock fell
Bleeding at every yein."
But not until the enemy had broken in
all directions before him was he borne from
the field, his blood pure offering upon his
couutry's altar.
Do you demand, my countrymen, man for
your President who himself is Obedient to the
law? Behold Hancock after the war had
ceased--placed in command of the depart
ment of Louisiana, vice-regal power, no one
to gainsay it, a conquered province at his feet,
sheathing the sword of the military chieftain,
dofhng tho plumed helmet of the victorious
knight before the simple majesty of the civil
law. Orator and poet will
wreathe his name with laurels
in commemoration of his victories upon the
tented field, but when the calm heart and the
cool brain of history sums up the record of his
eventful life, high above kis deeds of valor
out of the SMOKE out of the beating light of
battle, up, up among the glorious stars in the
heaven of enduring Immortality, will shine for
ever Hancock's famous Order No. 40.
In ringing Saxon he proclaimed to the over
thrown South this second declaration of indie
pendence:
I'm war it is indispensable to repel force by
force, and overthrow and destroy opposition to
lawful authority. But when insurrectionary
force has been overthrown and peace estab
liehed, and the civil authorities are ready and
willing to perform their duties, the military
power should cease to lead, and the civil adj
ministration resume its natural and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the general announces that the great
principles of American liberty are still the law
full inheritance of this people, and ever should
be. The right of trial by jury, the habeas
corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom
of speech, the natural rights of persons, and
the rights of property must be preserved.
"Free institutions, while they are essential
to the prosperity and happiness of the people,
always furnish the strongest inducements to
peace aud order. : = While the general
thus indicates his purpose to respect the Hber-
ties of the people, he wishes all to understand
that armed incursiOns or forcible resistance to
the law will be instantly suppressed by arms. "
Conkling at Chicago said that the struggle
to-day is whether this government shall be
Republican or Cossack." We answer in this
nomination, it shall continue republic in
the broadcast aud purest sense. The big Cossack

appeared from sight, and as far as the little
Cossacks are concerned, united, enthusiastic
national Democracy will sweep them from the
field as a prairie fire sweeps the stubble be-
fore it.
Do you wish a pure man for your next Presi-
dent? In Hancock you have character SO
clean that even envious malice cannot point atiit

HON. VIM. M. CAMPBELL.
In response to calls from the audience,
| Chairman Sibley next introduced Hon. VIM.
M. Campbell, of Litchfeld, who said he
would try to content himself with expressing
his qualification at being present to witness
the general rejoicing ard enthusiasm with
which the Democratic nominations we're re-
ceived. He thought that all present would
agree with him that never in the history of
our country had there ben such general and
enthusiastic rejoicing as has been caused by
tho nomination of Winfield Scott Han
cock for the Presidency. Patriots all
over the land are fairly wild with
enthusiasm. We haveanow united Demo-
cratic party-united as it never was before.
In New York in 1876 there was unity, but
under protest Now it is real union, for
Hancock is distasteful to no one, and that
union insures beyond doubt the thirty five
electoral votes of New York. Randall and
Wallace are united and that transfers the bat
tie ground to the hitherto Republican State
of Pennsylvania. tell you the per oentages

is not money enough in all the Republican
party to defeat the election of Hancock

States. The eloquent Dougherty, in pre-
