Hon. Hamilton Fish was elected chair.
man, and in briei speech introduced
Senator Conkling, who was greeted with
cheer upon sheer as he came forward.
Alter an eloquent allusion to the gran.
deur and blessings OF the Republic, Sena-
tor Conkling said:
The Democratic party is the Democratic
candidate and l am agsinst the ticket and
all its works. The general issue confront
ing US is in itself and in its bearings sec.
tional. Would that It were not so, but It
is so. In twelve States OF the Union
THE APPROACHING ELEcrIoS Is TO BE NO
MoRE THAN A FARCE,
unless, as has sometimes happened, it is to
be turned into a trsgedy. In several
Southern States there is large Republi.
can majority, but all the Southern States
alike, without exception or doubt, are re.
lied on TO count on the Democratic side,
and TO score one hundred and thirty.eight
electoral votes. There is TO be no Tree de-
bale; no equal rights; no true expression
in these States, and yet he who discusses
these questions must betold in the coarse
parlance Of the day that he waves the
bloody shirt"
The Senator denounced the proposed
count in some Of the Southern States,
founded on the last census, and then read
GENERAL GRANTS RECENT LErrRR,
In which he says that "the Democratic
party as now constituted and controlled,
is not ct party to trust with the control
OF the general Goyernmet;" and went on
to say that the South controls the Demo-
cratic party, and that in Congress the
Southern members hold absolute sway.
Should controversy arise regarding the
Presidential election, and the election
being thrown into the House, there the
vote being taken by States, the South
would cast nearly all Democratic votes,
and in the Senate the vote for Vice Presi-
dent would come from the same source.
In any event OF Democratic success, The
Southern end Of the Democratic party must
be to the northern end as locomotive is
to a tender, as horse is to cart. This
Is as plain Us any truth in gravitation or
arithmetic. The South has control Of all
working committees OF the Senate. On
every committee there is q majority OF
Democrats. and OF these majority In all
cases consists OF Southern Senators. The
same conditions prevail in the House.
