ANNAPOLIS WEDNESDAY, SUPPLEMENT.

cock was nominated. His nomina-
ton meant victory for the Demo.
srsc S,s sty, nIaed ana N NTnyF because
nomination meant l3S votes from the South.
His nomination meant New Jersey for the
Democratic party, and Connecticut for the
Democratic party, and Indiana for the Demo-
cratic party. This caused the great enthu-
siasm. 1t is said we have strong General, a
military man. II we have soldier and
military man, We have soldier that does not
fight in time OF peace. IApplause;l We have
The only use that he mad for the military was
10 restore civil authority. lApplause We
have many soldiers In this country who be-
long to the home guards, who are lighting a
war that has been over for nfteen years
General Hancock is not enc OF them. He,
like Washington when the war was over, was
pruning hook and resume the civil avocations
OF life. He was ready 10 say that the civil
were superior to the military author

WIFI, and when we elect him we expect to
lnanguraie him. lApplause Let me say, to
our Republican friends we will not ask for his
Inauguration unless he is elected, but If he is
elected let me say to you, if necessary. the
qualities that have heretofore been exhibited

plause.I We expect 10 carry this election
and why? Because the Democratic party
will go before the country and show the peo-
pc that since the Democratic party has mad
control of Con gress they have economiZed In
every department: they will show the people
mum in expenditures; and that, too, with
out any detriment to the public service.
that in our own State administration we
have saved many thousand dollars to the
people, and more economical adIninistra
tion we have never had. Is not that what the
peop want? Do you not want economy? Do
you not want Your business transacted in
a way that is in the interest of the whole
country? In business affairs we want a man
agement OF our business that is most success
ful for the least expense. We will show that
the Democratic party is party OF rigid econ
Government Moreover, gentlemen, we ex-
pect TO claim for the Democrats what belo1gs
to them. We expect TO show 10 the people OF
Indiana that the reason why their furnaces
have been started up, the reason why the
laboring men are employed is because OF DEM
ocratic legislation. Gentlemen, business was
paralvzsd when the Democratic party adopted
their policy in Congress. II restored the silver
dollar, ana said TO the people, no more green
backs should be destroyed. Their confidence
was restored Immediately, and the smoke was
revived in the stacks, and the labOring men of
this country found employ ment. Notwith-
standing these facts, the Republican party
have claimed throughout the country that all
this revival of business was due TO their policy.
Can they point to q single financial measure
of theirs that is in existence to-day? That
party demonetiZed your silver dollar; that
party passed a law through Congress for the
destruction OF your green backs. The Demo-
cratic party remonetized your silver dollar
and passed law for the reissue of your green
backs and thereby prevented their destruction.
In this canvass we will not be like the Repub
lican party. We will not claim for the De-
mocracy that which does not belong to them.
Our platform is right upon that question. We
give the Lord the credit that is due Him. He
has blessed us with abundant crops, and that
and the blighting OF crops abroad has done
reyive the business Interests of this country
In view of the fact that we expect
fsvors in the future, we will not claim for our
Laughter and applause Why was it that
John Sherman was only third in the race
at Chicago when one year ago he would
party for President? 1t was because the people
of this country found out that his aim was
fraudulent; that the prosperity OF the country
down the DemocIatic flag went up, lap
p!ause.l At times, in hearing Mr.. Sherman
make his speech in Oaio, thought OF the
devil. You will recolect that on one occasion
the devil had the impudence to carry Christ
up on the top of very high mountain, and
claimed that all the world belonged TO
Christ il he would fall down and
worship him, when at the same time he did
out. The claim of the devil on that occasion
was valid as the claim of John Sherman
that his policy restored prosperity TO this
me say to you, the enthusiasm that is here
to night is spreading all over the country. 1t
was at Cincinnati, and 1t is visible everywhere
since the nomination OF Hancock md Eng

Judge David Turpie was next introduced,
and spoke as follows:

II may be used to control elections at the polls,
thus suhjecting the lawmakers and the law
itself to the orders of a military dictation,
care not what specious pretences may be in

The party which claims that military power
may be used TO supervise and inspect the voter
will at last do all the voting itself, and the
bayonet, pure and simple, will take the place
OF and become the law-the law of death TO the
Republic and of damnation 20 all OF its sup
porters and defenders. L was profoundly graf
flied the other day, as every friend OF liberal
republican institutions must be, TO
read the letter of General Han
cock to Governor Pease, refusing
10 appoint military commissions for the trial
OF offenders, and giving the reason for that
refusal. In my judgment that letter was
thing that has fallen from the lips or pen of
his distinguished competitor. IL was a great
letter-the letter of soldier in defense of civil
liberty and the constitutional rights OF

civilian who was eager TO abandon and willing
