When the line had halted near the
I'D sakers' stand, which had been erect
cd at the intersection Of the two roads,
the meeting was called to order be-
tween ten and eleven O'Clock, by
Spencer Chandler, Esq. BetW cen ii rec
and four thousand persons were pre-
sent. Edward G. Bradford, Jr., deliver
ed the opening address. His remarks
were as follows
Fellow CITIZENS OF HocKRssIN:-What
Is the great and controlling question OF
this campaigni 1t is one Of govern
mental policy. II Is the question
whether for four years we shall have .
man who is in accord with Republican
principles. 1t is q question OF choice OF
party.
Democrats speak OF change In the
administration Of National affairs, but
why should we have change Would
a change be beneficial to the country
We have prosperity and happiness now,
and It would be well for rs to lean
on, the known than 70 rely on the un-
known.
Consider few great achievements OF
the Republican party and then see why
we commend 1t to the country. Com
pare the past administration with tfe
last Democratic administration When
the Democrats were in power SO per
cent. bonds only realized SO cents on
the dollar, but under the Republican
administration A per cent. bonds sold
at $1.O4. This shows sound National
credit.
In 1860 the balance Of trade was over
go, 900, 900, but now it is in our favor
by over Sl62, 900, 900. In 1850 1t was
uncertain whether We were Nation.
II was even declared that we could not
cosrce the power Of the States. In 1881
we could command the respect OF the
world. We have caused resumption
and now have 100 cents on the dollar.
The Republican party has paid over
$627, ,O0O, 900 Of the National debt which
b r. interest, and thus we save $7l,..
OOO. 900 annually. We have fostered
American industries and reduced the
revenue rates. Why then should there
be a change in the administration OF Ma
tional affairs
Consider the malignant! charges made
by the Democratic party. 1t says that
the Republican party Is rotten with po-
litical corruption. After the Democracy
had gained power of the House Of Rep
resentatives SO investig ating committe Q
were appointed to search for Republi-
can misdoings, and after 100000 OF the
peoples money had been spent the task
was given up as futile.
The SECRETARY of Internal Revenue
states that during the past four year he
has collected $467, ,OSO, 1856, 10. The
creates losses to the Nation occurred un'
der Democratic administration. l re-
Ter to the enormous defalcations Of Isaac
v, Foller, Samuel Sw wardont, s. T. Ham
mond and others
The Democracy also charges the hs'
publican party as guilty Of extravaganza
|. and wastefulness. During the las'
three years of Democratic control In
Congress we find the average annual
appropriation for current expenses, II
gold, was over $l62, 100000, whiis'
I during the last three years that th'
a Republicans were in Congress the ap
) propriation did not exceed $l4O, ,O0O, 0o'
per wear. The Democratic appropria
I lion Amounted to $l62, ,000,0 900 In golt
ANNUALLY whilst the Republican
amounted to but $4,000, 900 In green
