/. JUDGE TERRY
Was loudly cheorcd. He said: We have
stood shoulder to shoulder in this State
in one fight, and in spite Of slander,
corruption and bulldozing, achieved u
glorious victory. This time far grand
er one will crown our efforts. Applause ]
Your choice must be made between Gen.
Garfield and Gen. Hancock. DO you
hesitate to make % choice? mo, no!1
Hancock is d man without fear or ro-
proach, while Gar6eld's record will not
bear inspection, and who has been con-
demncd by his own party. In 1867,
Elihu B. Washburn introduced bill to
appoint a board of railroad commission
crs to control the freight and passenger
rates of the Central Pacific and Union
Pacific Railroads. Among the men who
we're proved to have taken railroad and
Credit Mobilicr stock were Schuyler
COlfax and James A. Garfield. If the
former was thief, tho latter was, for
they both took the stock under similar
circumstances. 70 have been cOnsis-
tent, the Republicans should have NOM
mated Colfax. for Vicc-P President. Ap-
plause.1 His record in the DcGolycr
pavement case was exactly similar. We
don't want Garfield in any public office.
We want 10 man whose statements, if
true, prove that he docs not know q
bribe when he is offered one. Thank
God, Hancock's name never appeared in
Oakcs Amcs' red pockctbook. His name
| is above suspicion, and thank God for
it. [Applausc.] 1t is time
THE BLOODY SHIRT
Should disappear from politics and
Hancock's election will ctfectually do it.
[Chccrs.] Why do the Southern people
so cordially support Hancock 1t is
because they respect, love and even
revere him for his noble actions while
military Governor of Louisiana and Texas
for taking the honest ground that the
war was over and the civil authority was
superior to the military. Garfield, who
they say is q statesman, denounced
General Hancock for his obedience to the
law. Those who wish this to be a united
country want Hancock for President, and
they willlave him. [Applause.] Where
do tue two parties stand on the Chinese
question: We all know what " wishy-
washy plank the Republicans have
placed in their platform. There is no
relief to be obtained from them.
Judge Terry then sketched the history
of tho Fifteen Passenger bill vetoed by
President Hays, and GarAcld's connection
with it, and pointed out that lie was OIL
record as q lover of Chinese. New York
is sure for Hancock, and the 10000 ole
soldiers in Pennsylvania will never &C
back on the gallant General. The
people submitted to the fraud of 1876
but they will not vote to put ono of thu
perpetrators in the Presidential chail
this year.
CALIFORNIA WILL DE ALLOWED
TO FREQ herself from tho Chinese curs(
without interference of tho Fedora
authority when the Democratic party
comes into power. [Applansc. Thu
Government should itself pay for all the
provcrty of every kind owned by Chimes;
in this country, and pay the passage o
lcvery one of them back to their owl
country, [AVlausc. Relief can ant
will come from the Democracy. Il
Jncycr can como from that creature o
corporations, the Republican party
Elect Hancock and the very mex
Congress that assemblies will grant thi
State what it wants and deserves
