Special Correspondence Of the IntslilsOnser.
The opening Of the campaign by the R
publicans was announced for last nigh
as was also a meeting Of the Democrat
for the purpose OF forming a Hancoc
club. The Democrats claim to have stole
march on the Republicans and secure
all the music except the colored banc
which It is very hard to get together o
Saturday night, as q great many Of tn
members are BARRIERS. Your correspondent
must own that he felt blue early in tn
evening as the people aocked to the plac
OF the proposed Democratic meeting, ,Wher
the City Band snd drum corps were play
ing, and the colored band had not yet pu
in an appearance, 80 the noise was all one
sided. But as soon as the Democrat,
music subsidized the people tlocked up Mar
ket street by tens and hundreds, and soer
the street in the neighborhood Of the Re
publican headquarters was crowded
About eight o'clock the meeting wa
called to order by President sherrard, and
the Glee Club opened with that good old
ssug, "John Browns body, etc" The
Chair then announced John NJ. Cook and
W. A. Walden as the speakers Of the oc
Casion, and introduced Mr.. Cook as the
first speaker. The appearance OF this gen
tleman was greeted with applause by the
large audience. Mr.. Cook said he had
been asked what he thought OF our pros
poets, and had replied he thought we
would succeed. But he had studied the
matter and now knew we would succeed
and demonstrated the fact that as in for
mer campaigns the Republican party
must Of necessity succeed. No such word
as fail. He gave Hancock all the glory he
deserved for mis- military career, but he
was no statesman. On the other hand
Gen. Jas. A. Garfield [applause was the
Gladstone OF America he had no peer In
the country. The controversy was not be-
tween these two Generals,-it was the
grand old Republican party against that
hideous deformity all bloated and SCARED
by political debauchery. Immense ap.
pIause. Mr.. Cook said II was sometimes
said we did not need to work in 0hio-but
we did. While Ohio was Republican, she
was an October State, aud what would be
the effect II she should give less majority
than she did for Foster. What would be
the effect on New York II, on the night OF
the 18th OF October We telegraphed abroad
that Soho gives $4,000 majority for the
Republicans" ....
The band. at the close Of Mr.. @. 3 speech,
played one OF its selections, and then q
motion was made to allow further sigma
lures TO therolls OF the club, which had
been increased, Mr.. Sherrarl said to l,040.
At this point liz more signed the roll, and
the Glee Club sang "Marching Through
Georgia" which was joined in by many Of
the audience. At the close OF this song,
loud calls were given for Walden, who was
then introduced. Mr.. Walden was greet
ed with immense applause, as, although
he Is q staunch Republican, he has not
madea political speech for years. Mr..
Walden prefaced his remarkslby saying he
had been studying Hancock's letter all day
to see If be could find anything In II, and
had retired fatigued and successful In
fudingzas voice in the audience give 1t
only froth. He gave Hancock all the
glory he was entitled to, but said he had
been educated aud clothed and fed and
paid by the Government, from his youth
up, and had only done his duty In fighting
for that Government, inspired by his de.
sire for promotion and with II higher
pay. He concluded that he had fought
bravely, but no more so than hundreds aud
OF others, and he didn't deserve
any more credit than the private, as he
didn't have half the suffering, privstion or
real hardships that the private did. To tue
private belonged the praise and the honor
Of putting down the rebellion.
Our party had not only loyal head.
but was loyal clear through TO the core,
aud didn't have 10 train under the shadow
OF great big Maior.6eneral 10 shew that
they were loyal. There were loyal men
in the Democratic party, but the leaders
were not loyal. They were loyal to their
party in preference to their Government,
and would let the latter go to the dogs
sooner than give up their party. The
loyal men OF the party, such as Edwin NJ.
Stanton, left 1t. The speaker had heard a
speaker, he would not say who, at the
Hancock. English ratification meeting in
this city, say the Democratic party had put
down the rebellion. This same gentleman
(who we find TO be Hon. ]. II. s. Trainer
-RRP.) had made a speech at the Chicago
Convention in 1864, and Mr.. w. had the
Secretary read the following extract from
it: "If you wish for peace, great, glorious
peace, vote for the nominee OF the Demo.
cratic Convention. Now, the President
has called for 10000 more. Shall we
have them9 The Democratic party
want peace; for II we don't get it we will
have to submit to military despot. He
would urge the people to be ireemen, and
hurl Abraham Lincoln and his miniont
from power. There is no difference be-
tween war Democrat and an Abolition
ist. They are both links in the same
sausage, made out OF the same dog, Should
resistance be offered at the polls TO pre-
vent our Suffrage, let that resistance bt
met with resistance"
In relation to one OF the dangers OF the
election OF Democratic President, Mr.
Walden said there was nothing but tha
officer in the way ot such complete reor
ganization OF the Supreme Court OF tn,
United States IS would give the maloit!
OF Its members to the Democrats, and al
that was necessary was 10 change twt
words in section 673 OF the Revised Stat
utes OF the United States 90 as To provld
that the Supreme Court "shall consist Of
Chief Justice and fifteen, twenty.one o
any other number OF Associate Justices
instead Of eight as the law now stands
Those additional Judges would be az
pointed by Democratic President an
confirmed by q Democratic Senate, an
would pronounce the war measures uI
constitutional; that the President had n
right TO emancipAte the slaves, and tbs
the Fourteenth Amendment prohthitin
the payment for slaves, had not been rat
fed In accordance with the requirement
Of the Constitution. ~
Both these addretses were very adj
and well delivered, and we regret sPt.C
will not admit Of giving more Of tn
points In them. @.
