following speech q few nights ago at q
Democratic meeting
"My friends, the Republican party
has nominated for It's candidate fol
President James A. Garfield, Of Ohio
| dsrisive laughter]--a man who hal
long been in public service, long beer
the leader Of his party, and who standi
to-day the mightiest warrior Of then
all, the greatest Republican member Of
the lower house Of Congress. fSsnsa.
ton. knew James A. Garfield by
being with him in the lower house Of
Congress for years, and know there IL
no Republican in that party ADLER than
he. / see the newspapers are making
charges against his character, but, my
friends, l can not say that they are in
any wise true. Ilhave not readithe reply
TO these charges by the Republican
press, II they are true, ! do not know
II, and you, my friends, know as much
about them as do. must say to you
my friends, that l had hoped that tht
good old Democratic party would selec'
civilian for It's standard bearer in thii
campaign, as I think 1t would have
been more preferable To us, GER
tainly more preferable to me, thar
to have man who is solely q military
man. Tho President Of the United States
should be q man who knows all about
public affairs; who knows the regula.
tions Of the various departments; the
management Of the Judiciary, Legisls.
tive, and Executive Department Of
State, which deals with foreign coun.
tries; the Treasury Department, with
the millions Of treasure; with civil ser
vice, and wish the great and rapidly
growing commerce Of our land, thereby
bringing the greatest happiness to oul
people. / therefore thought the best
interests of our people demanded q
man experienced in civil affairs, and
when our Convention at Cincinnati
nominated purely military man,
must confess to you, my friends,
thought it would have been better tc
have nominated q man with some civil
experience. But, as none Of the great
civilians Of our party were selected We
looked around for an available man,
and found him in the person Of Gen.
Hancock, who, l know, If elected, will
take his seat. [Applause.] It does
not matter particularly which party
succeeds in having control Of the Gov.
srnment, because / believe that II
either of the candidates are elected we
will have q good Government, peace,
plenty, and prosperity. don't care
so much for party as l do to have a
good man, aad l think either Of the
nominees would give US good Admin
istration."
HOW DID fHRY GET IN OP1ICRi
Says the North American (Rep.) Of
Philadelphia "This is q Republican
city, but at this very time several Of
the most important positions in the
city government are filed BY Demo-
crats. OF the incumbsnts Of these
places we have no harsh words to
write. II we must have Democrats in
these Offices probably 1t would not be
be easy to select better men than they
who now occupy them. But every Re-
publican in this city is aware that not
one Of these Democrats was elected BY
Democratic votes. They owe their cleo
ton to direot-voting and non-veting
Republicans. And there are few Re
publioans who do not know that the
success Of these Democrats was made
possible by blundering management on
the part Of our own party" }

Senator Hoar says that the Cinoin-

viz: That American history is q fail
