The venerable John M. Todd took the floor
and made an earnest speech. He had to say of
ne did not propose to forbid any man to cast out
devils. He had voted for Mr.. Cove, but he
proposed to vote for Gen. Anderson He said
that Anderson was Greenbacker before he
lTodd) was. Mr.. Todd here read the Demo-
f p5,o National platform Of 1868, written by
OF this State is weak and when man
is sick and weak he don't like to
be kicked. Mr.. Todd related some of his
experience in the South, in particular
where he saw five children sold from their
mother, and as she begged that the last child
might be left her, SO the Democratic party of
this State, who have seen four Congressional
nominations taken from them have said for
Gods sake give us this last child, this last
nomination" Qaughter) He had known An
Todd.
The Rev. w. f. Eaton did not propose to
make the nomination unanimous If we en-
dorse Anderson we will support him, but if we
are coerced we will make trouble. We be-
hackers, but by Democrats, and we propose to
retire and consider the questions involved.

Mr.. Chaplin of Harrison then addressed the

speech, but circumstances had arisen which
compelled him to speak. The result of this
gathering he had worked hard for and felt
wearied by 1t. He was Greenbacker through

money speech, which did not meet with a
very enthusiastic reception. He believed
that fuslon, however must be adopted lin sub
