At the close of his Speech Mr.. McCul-
! loch introduced the speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Evarts was welcomed again in the hcartest
manner he stepped toward the front OF tie stage.
He spoke slowly and in general with clear and dis
tinct eDunciation. For nearly three hours lie held
the attention of the audience, and step by step
carried it to the climax of his speech.
His manner throughout the evening was calm, jul
dicial, and convincing When he closed three deaf
ening cheers given for General Garfield. After
the audience bad rendered its thanks to Mr. Evarts
he surrounded by friends who warmly con-
graduated him.
The burden of the address was the dis
cussion of the question To which Of the two
parties that divide the Nation the conduct of its
affairs may be trusted safely. He compared the
records of the two parties from the administration
Of Buchanan to the present day, and then compared
the present claims % the Democratic party with its
own history. He compared the candidates Of the
two parties, dismssing Mr. English with joke.
In speaking of General Hancock, whom the Demo-
crafts he said, were pleased to call superb" he
declared that there was only one in history called
by his people " the superb" he the last King of
Rome. Mr.. Evarts referred frequently during
20
of the North. His explanation of the phrase,
toward the close Of the evening, created great
merriment and laughter. The termination of the
party by the TRANSMISSION Of new blood from General
Butler and Boss" Shepherd and others named by
the speaker was thought by the audience extremely
ludicrous. Referring to the prosperity Of the
country under Republican rule, he declared that the
Democratic claim that 1t was due to Provi-
dence was q sound argument against change,
unless the Democrats could do better fighting
against Providence. He styled the funding opera
tiOns of the Treasury Department q magnificent
financial march to the broad of prosperity"
Secretary Sherman had given confidence to
capital which before had hid in fear
of Democratic reputation. During the dis
cussion of financial questions, the speaker, turning
toward ex-Secretary McCulloch, paid him hand
compliment which received the emphatic APP
proval of the audience. Toward the close of
the address the speaker criticised the
speech recently delivered in this city by
Senator Hill, of Georgia, IN which an appeal
was made for another trial of the South. Mr.
Evarts declared that the Republican party abhorred
sectionasm ard had supported the Constitution
against it in both aud peace. He closed his
speech with glowing panegyric of the Republican
party, quoting an eloquent sentence from Lord
BoingbrOke's writings
