last Evening.

tillery, manned by Thomas Mills and
George s. Hill, made the echoes re-
sound. Quite a large crowd had as
sembled at the Hall, several ladies be-
ing present, as Judge Berry, Chairman
of the Hancock and English Club,
| called the meeting to order and intro
| duced
JOHN II. DENNIS,
One of the Hancock and English Presi-
dental Electors, who was received with
loud applause. Mr.. Dennis said ora
tory was not his forte, as they would
find out before he got through. An
honest man had but to open his mouth
| and Democratic sentiments would flow
from it as naturally as Sharon Repub-
licans reach for the ''sack" or Demo-
Gratis for whisky. The shirt which
Hancock wore at Gettysburg had a
hole in it made by a bullet which struck
him while fighting for his country.
Ask Republican about the Credit
Mobilier, the Salary Grab or the De
Golyer pavement job, and he assumes
q dignified air and refuses to answer or
discuss these subjects. He would re-
fer the people to the Congressional
Record for Garfeld's history, and any
body who reads and does not doubt
Garfield's integrity, would go on the
stand, after reading the evidence in the
Beecher trial, and swear that Henry
was a Joseph and Elizabeth a Lucretia.
He read Garfield's testimony before the
| Poland Committee, and the findings of
| that Committee, and read from the
Springfield Republican, which supports
| Garfield, "that if Garfield had half as
much deceRey as Judas Iscariot he
would go and hang himself. " He
| quoted extracts from the Virginia En-
terprise, when it was edited by K. Nj.
Daggett, denouncing Garfeld as per-
|
that Mr.. Daggett now says he would
as soon impugn the chastity of his own
mother as Gartield's honesty. Repub-
licans should not blame poor ignorant
Democrats, for accepting the Republican
verdict Of Garfeld's integrity, nor call it
'mud singing" to repeat what they
said of him. Republicans, not Demo
| Gratis made the mud. The public record
of Presidential candidate is legiti-
mate subject for criticism and discussion.
Arthur, whose career as Collector of
Customs in New York City, was sud-
denly Terminated by President Hayes
for dishonesty, received the nomination
| for Vice-President at Chicago, though
plank in the Chicago platform indorses
the acts of Mr.. Hayes, and one of these
| acts was to ''tire out" c. A. Arthur from
| the New York Custom House, that the
office might be honestly administered.
Garfield said in speech i'm Congress
| in opposition to the Silver bill, that sill
yer would become so valueless that no
| one would care to steal il No Pacific
State ought to vote for Garfield, but, if
any of them do. it ought to be overrun
with Chinese. The speaker read the
| planks from the Chicago and CINCINNATI
| platforms on the Chinese question, and
remarked that the language of the Re-
! publican platform showed bhat the
| trainers OF the Chinese plank under
stood that language was made for the
purpose of conaealing thoughts While
the Cincinnati platform. was right to the
point and said "No rsore Chiaese i'm
migration, except for travel, and edu-
cation and that carefally guarded. "
| Hancock said, eff Congress gives me
such Chinese bill as it gave Mr..
Hayes, l will sign it if il is the last act
OF my life.
The war ended, nearly sixtecn years
ago, and must theremnant of the bloody
shirt be used to array one section Of the
| Union against the other? Compare the
war record of Garfield with Hancock's.
| If the war is to be the test Of the eligi-
| bility of the candidates, Garfield would
stand as much of a show sgairst Han
cock as Chinaman would have against
an Irishman for President OF the Miners
/ Union.
Lyman Trumbull, as pure a. Republi-
can as the revered Lincoln, shows from
the records that the State of Missouri,
which is classedl with the South, and
only gave Lincoln II 900 votes, furnish
ed more troops for the Union army than
| Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and two or three OF the New Eng
land States thrown in.
