THE SPEECH OF SECRETlRY ETAR7S.

A speech by Mr. Evarts. at any time, on any
subject or on any occasion, is eagerly looked
for as the best intellectual entertainment this
city affords. political address from him is
perhaps anticipated with greater appetite than
any other, because here his matchless powers
have free range. The size of his audiences is
only limited hy the ability of Republican voters
to get within sound OF his voice, for no one who
has ever seen the fire of his wit playing over
the battered and broken amor of the Democ-
racy likes to miss the spectacle. The speech
of last night, which we give elsewhere in
full, was more than equal to Mr.. Evartss rep
uiation 1t bristled throughout with telling
epigrams, and the audience were kept in
almost continual laughter with its wit, which
was never without wisdom. Amusing as the
speech was, n single wise and grave motive
underay it all, and many OF its sayings viii
pass into the current coin Of the campaign.
stimulating thought and carrying conviction
with them.
The argument of the speech dealt with the
simple question whether the fact that the Re-
publican party has governed the country
wisely and well, i'll spite of the opposition
of the Democratic party, is reason
why the Republican party should be turned
out and the Democratic party put in. The
people are asked. IN Mr.. Evaits's own words,
whether they are tired OF patriotism
land wealed with liberty He well asks
whether the Democracy suppose we are "a
nation of red Indians. that a few years OF
"peace seem irkSomc and tircsome and
"changc is desired p The only plea OF what
he wittily calls "the dcsiccat;G Democracy "
for popular confidence is and has been
all these years that their candidates have
been better than their party or, as Mr.. Eyar;s
puts it, that "t;ie party is worse than its
candidate" No Democrat can deny that
this is a fair way of stating it, while no Repub
hcan will be able to see III such a plea a
good claim for four years power. Such
change rs the Democratic party calls for
wonld be far more than 80 the toss of copper
"0r the wave of Il hand" The difference between
the election OF Garfield, to whom Mr.. Ev.rts
paid Il very hearty tribute, and the
election of Hancock. may be the dif
ference between prosperity and disaster,
good government and bad government. The
Democratic party shows nothing to offset
its bad record but promises, and as tie
speaker sad, in his incompatible fish story,
"atli,layits are MOI lObstcIs."

A DIFFERENCE or OPINION.

General Hancock says that "nobOdy wants or
expects such unnatural action as the pay
ment of rebel claims. Ex-COnfederate Bnga-
dier-Gencral ZebulOn B. Vance, of North Caro-
lima, who has introduced bill in the United
States Senate directly repeating that section of
the Revised Statutes which forbids the payment
of disloyal claimants, must be secretly OF the
opinion that General Hancock doe ;nt know
what he is talking about. Ex- Confederate Colo
mel Gunter, of Arkansas, who has introduced a
similar bill in the House of Representatives is
hardly in position to write letter 10 the news
papers saying that General Hancock does know
what he is talking about. Ex-Confcderate Colo
mel CulbersOn, of exas who has introduced a bill
in the House to revive the right of action under
the captured and abandoned property act, must
have rubbed his eyes when he saw General
HancOck's letter. Congressman Thompson, OF
Kentucky, who has introduced Il bill providing
that no claim shall be rejected by reason OF dis
loyalty, unless the proof is such as will convict
the claimant OF treaSOn-(Of which nobody has
been cOnvicted)-mus5 have wondered where
General Hancock got his exclusive Information.
Mr.. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, who has IN
trOduced n bill throwing the Court OF Cia ms
open to war claims, and thus under the decision
of the Supreme Court that President JOhnsOns
amnesty proclamation gave dislOyal claimants
the same footing III the courts is !oya! claim
ants, throwing that Court open to the whole
army of rebel claimants, must have smiled
over General Hancock's letter. Perhaps he
winked. Senator Johns on, of Virginia, has
introduced bill providing that any person hay
ing claim against the United States, Of which
the Court of Claims would not now have juris-
dctOn, may file it in that Court. This puts the
door wide open. under the amnesty procar'a-
tion. General iIancOck's letter must have i'm
pressed Senator Johnston as being best adapted
for Northern circulation.
These are jus n few Instances. There are
plenty more. THE TRIBUNE has published the
names of seventy Democratic Congressman who
have offered bills directly or indirectly, in the
interest of Southern claims. General Hancock
says that "noboly wants or expects such un-
natural action These seventy gentlemen,
whose constituents number several millions, say
they do want and expect such action. which
does not seem unnatural to them. Shall we let
