(Cheers.)
All there was to show was the perpetua-
ton of thievery. The speaker had no doubt
that Gen. Hancock would be the next Presi-
dent CT United States, (cheers.) There was
no other man but one, (Gen. Mcclellan
(cheers,) that could arouse the enthusiasm OF
the voters of the United States. Mr.. Bris-
bin closed by arraigning Republican misrule
and paid high tribute to the patriotism of
the next vice president, w. II. English.
| HON. e. NJ. WILSON.
Hon. E. M. Wilson, of Minneapolis, was
the next speaker. He was sorry his voice
was not in better shape so he could be heard
by the vast audience before him. In COM
pany with the other representatives of Min
nesota he had been at Cincinnati, and for
week past his voice had been lifted up to So
cure the nomination of our great standard
bearer. Although somewhat worn out
physically, he could not resist the invitation
to meet his Democratic friends of st. Paul
and Ramsey county, and say few words for
the nominee of the party. When we left for
Cincinnati we knew that the Republicans
had nominated their candidate, and once
more inaugurated campaign of hatred
that once more the disgusting bloody shirt
would be Haunted in the face of
the people. This disgusting cam
paign had hardly commenced before
a voice came up from Cincinnati, and the OK
element subsidized or in other words, went
down like the Window boom, never to be
heard of again. Cheers and shouts of ap-
proval) The eloquent speaker then rapidly
reviewed the political corruption of the
Union and predicted that General Hancock
would be elected by the largest electoral vote
ever received by a candidate for that high
office from united country. Passing TO
his knowledge of Gen. Hancock, he COM
pared him with other leading and noted
men Of the past, and declared him to be the
General Jackson of to-day, who, especially
at New Orleans, demonstrated that even
when clothed with daspotic power he volun-
tarily and patriotically asserted that the
military must be subordinate to the civil
power. MIR. Wilson closed his stirring adj
dress in grand burst of eloquence appeal
ing to all to march under Hancook's banner
to achieve peaceful victory equal if not
superior to that of Gettysburg.
HON. ALBERT sCHEFFER.
Mr.. Scheffer being introduced. Gen.
Johnson arose and stated to the audience
that request had been made that MIR.
Scheffer deliver his address in German.
Mr.. Scheffer smilingly consented and. then
proceeded to make one of the best speeches
of the evening in the purest of English. He
spoke for some time, and to the utter as
constituent of many. They discovered they
could understand German as we'll as any one.
Mr.. Scheffer was listened to with profound
attention except when he was Interrupted by
outbreaks of applause. He made no appeal
for General Hancock on account Of his SOL
dierly qualities, brilliant as they were, but
he did ask the suffrages of the people, for
him as statesman, reviewing his career in
civil life, and drawing the con-
clusion then General Hancock is
afe man to rally round, and q safe
man to place ut the head of the nation. In
graphic words he described Gen. Hancock's
military career, and all his enemies could
say against him was, that every glorious
achievement, whether in military or civil
life, was bid for the Presidency. After
indicating this idea, he said nothing could
be farther from the truth than that Hancock
had sought the nomination. When the an
nouncement was made to him he was the
most surprised man in America. He had
not sought it. He is not the nominee of any
clique, ring or nationality, except that broad
nationality which embraces every citizen of
the United States. The eloquent speaker
then drew a comparison between Hancock
and Garfield, reading certificate of character
from the pen of Jere Black, showing
that Garfield is a fool, if he is not
knave. Mr.. Scheffer's remaining remarks
and interpretations were received with cheers
anu laughter, and at the conclusion he an
nouncod that he was rival of BodenStedt
as a poet, and when he saw the smiles steal
ing over the faces of his large audience, he
said he would give them sample of his
powers in this line, which would convince
his hearers that he was a better poet than
Conkling. Garfield had not been embalmed
in verse, and since he had been on the plat
form the divine affiatus had struck him and
this was the result:
When asked where he came from,
His friends, dsgusted say:
Back pay, De Golyer pavement,
And Great Mober.
After the applause had subsidized, Mr..
Scheffer continued his remarks, this time
in German. Mr.. Scheffer is pleas
ing speaker, with a firm voice, and
held his audience all through.
Just as Mr.. Scheffer concluded, fine
of "Hancock and English" and the crowds
in and about the square cheered it again and
again.
JUDGE TLANDRAU.
Upon having introduced Judge Flandrau
said:
Fellow citizens and brother Democrats: l
congratulate you on this suspicious occasion.
We are assembled tonight under circum
- kha 10 -,
been a stranger for long, long years. We como
together with enthusiasm, hope and pride in
our candidates. We are inspired with that
confidence which an army feels on the eve of
coming battle when IL is to be led by men
accustomed to victory. We are about to make
an aggressive and vigorous campaign. We
have no apologies, explanations or defenccs to
make for our positions or our candidates. The
glorious old constitutional party has been new
born in Hancock and English. Their names
arc the synonyms of constitutional liberty,
free speech, free elections and all that gives
| value to the name of American citizen.
For twelve long years l have
believed that General Hancock was
tue man appointed by Providence
to rescue this Republic from tho dangerous
| thraldom of the party which has brought it to
the verge of Imperialism. For twelve long
| years have chung to the hope that the good
sense OF the Democracy would at last recog-
nze tho claims of this great man, and place
him in the position where his exalted worth,
his pure patriotism and bis great talents could
| be cxerted to regeuerate the Republic. Ny
hopes are realized through the wisdom of the
delegates whom we sent To Cincinnati to repre-
sent us, and to night 1 feel more hope, more
confidence, more happiness than it BIAS been
my lot TO experience since the termination of
our civil war.
We owe to our delegates debt of gratitude
which their limited number would not, at first
thought, seem to Justify. They were but ten,
but tacy were from Minnesota, where Hancock
had passed large part os his life since he be-
came prominent before the American people
| as Presidential candidate, and the world
knew it. Had these men not acted with una
nimity for him, the detection would have been
more noticeable than that of any other State
with a representation Of treble their number.
