MR.. EDMUNDs IN BRA TTLEBoRo.
A LARGE AssEMBLAoE AND POWERFUL AD-
DRESS.

gathered in the Brattleboro town hall than
that which met there last Friday oveningto lis
ten to the address of Senator Edmunda. The
evening was one of the hottest and most OPP
pressiyo Of the senson, but the crowded as
scmbage sat or stood, many of them for
more than two hours, paying the closest at
tention to Mr. Edmunds remarks, the silence
being only interrupted by frequent outbursts
Of enthusiastic applause The military band
and gee club were in attendance. At the
close Mr. Taylor sang campaign song with
chorus by the glee club and Mr.. Markham
sang solo which won hearty applause. Sen
ator Edmunds spoke substantially as follows:
summary Of Senator Edmunds' Re
marks.
The Senator said it was the duty Of every
voter be he Democrat or Republican, to cast
his vote for the candidates of the party most
likely to give the people a good, economical
administration, and he thought, Judging by
the acts of the Republican party for the past
twenty years, that no honest Democrat ought
to find fault with the expenditures of that
party. Perhaps, he said, you would like to
make some comparisons. Take the admins
tration of James Buchanan and compare it
with that of President Hayes, and according
to the books of the treasury you will find
that il costs TO collect the revenues lust one
half to mill less now than it did then, and
if you compare any of the previous Demo-
cratic administrations with that of Hayes
,,or viii fnd TINT the balance is LARGELY in IA
yor If tbe present Republican administration.
I am speakinp now of facts. and they can be

Southern States to collect this taxi Why is
il that the revenue officers are liable
to be shot Mt from behind every fence and
brush beap and arc OBLIGED to seek protec-
tion from Tho limited States courts in doing
tbeir duty , Do Won think this INK will lie
any more likely 10 be collected if the Demo-
cratic marty come into powerY WHY there

iurisdiction in these rcyenue cases ont of the
United states courts into local courts An.
drew, Jackson recommended that such cases
sbonld come before the limited States courts
