heart have become useless As Republican
stock in trade. just after the war, indeed,
when that party in the South refused to
admit the subordinatiOn Of the military to
the civil authority, and rode rough -shod
over the natural rights of the people, that
portion Of the country may have been con-
vulsed with disorders but a comparison Of
1865 with 1880 shows that all these have
passed away: that under tho beneficent
influence of Democratic government and
constitutional rule the region has been re-
stored to tranquility, happiness and pros
pcrity and as final veto this Republican
outrage cry is s;lenced by the Democratic
party nomination of Union general for
the Office of president Ofthc United States.

been \ failure, rs even our friend Blaine
admits. Maine has sounded the muster,
the day Of the general resurrection will
come in November. [Grcat applausc.]
Pennsylvania has been wont to be called
the Keystone Of the national arch, and she
must continue to occupy that proud posi-
tiOn. AS the great workshop of the nation,
whose interests rs manufacturing centre
arc SO closely identified with those Of the
South rs great producing region, it is for
her to call in thunder tones that there
must be an end Of strife, to stop this sense

matter, and ut tho ballOt-box she will not
be found frowning upon the effort that
the good people of tho country are
making to restore unity and good feeling
between the sections of restored Union.
Sensible people Of all parties agree that this
stirring up Of old animositics must cease,
and they know, too, that tho Democratic
party propose to govern this country in the
fear Of God and according to the cOEstitu-

the 2d day or November next. [Chcers.
MIR. Wallace demonstrated that tho poll
cy OF tho Republican party has wrought
| the destruction Of American commerce,
| and rcmarking upon the the necessity of 4
| change of administration said that change
is the law our being our very physiology
| undergOes transition in tho course of every
seven years, and the operations of nature re-
veal 4 continuous course Of changes. Tho
same principle applies in the operations of
| government, the same necessity for achange
prevails there ; and i'll \ government Of
the people it is tho people who must
apply the remedy. The Democratic
party is not superior to this common law
of nature, and, said Mr.. Wallace, when We
shall have become in power corrupt
and deiiled and stink in tho nOstrils of the
| people. why kick us out and put the other
fellows in. [Applause.1
The Republicans say We can't be trusted
| with the business interests of tho country,
and they have sent hundreds Of thousands
of dollars to Ohio and Indiana 20 save
| those cOmmOnwealths from tho avalanche
! Of Democracy that is sure to sweep
| over them next month. (Cheers.
Look ut the facts. The Democrats have
along they have been applying the pr,ln-
ing knife Of economy in every branch of
! the government. Useless expenditures
have been Topped off wholesale stealing
has been stopped, and the lobbyist has been
driven from the halls of legislation. With
all this rctrcnchment and economy the ap-
preparations have been ample to cover the
legitimate expenses of tho government,
and the interests Of tho pensioners have
been protected.
Mr.. Wallace exposed tho hOllOwness Of
the Republican charge that the Demo-
cratic policy is hostile to the material in
tercsts or Pennsylvania, and quoted from
tho record to provo that General Garfield
and other Republicans had voted yes
when tho question ofreducing the tariff OH
manufactured iron was before Congress,
but when the poor mans table was at
tackled Garfield was found among those
who sought to raise tho tax OH coffee,
tea and other little home comforts.
From tho pages Of tho record the
senator again exposed the position of
another man, who is q candidate for an
important position in the gift of this state,
which will be vacant on the 4th Of next
March. Galusha A. Grow, for whom Ian
caster county's Republican candidates for
the Legislature arc instructed to vote for
United States senator, advocated on tho
floor of tho House the free trade doctrines
of David Wilmot, whose pupil he was,
just rs Garfield reflected the views OF
Joshua II. Giddings, the Ohio free trader,
Republicans who arc charging home upon
the Democracy principles hostile to Penn
sylvania first remove tho sin from before \
their own door before they attack ours.
The record of Garfield and Grow will show
very clearly where they stand upon this |
question of tariff, about which our Re-
publican friends are making so much ado. |
The Republican bugabOO of rebel claims,
which sensible people always laughed at,
has disappeared before the ringing utter |
anccs of General IIancock's recent letter. |
Applause
In 1876 Mr.. Tilden was elected president |
of the United States by majority Of |
quarter Of q million of tho American pco- |
pic. prolonged applause That dcci- |
sion was reversed by tho partisan vote of |
an electoral tribunal. Tho Democratic |
party is the party Of peace, and in order to |
preserve the business Of tho cOun- |
try submitted for tho time be- |
ing to tho indignity that had |
been put upon it and upon the American |
people, bitlcd its time, and now comes be- |
fore the great tribunal of the public and |
indicts the Republican party for tho larceny !
of the presidency of the United States. On |
this issue, rs much rs upon any other,
it comes before tho court Of last resort,
and the verdict will bc rendered in unmis- |
tagable terms OH tho second day Of NOvem- |

Senator Wallace s closing words cOmpris- |
cd graphic description Of tho battle of
Gettysburg, where three noble sons Of
Pennsylvania stood like q wall Of adamant |
asains: an invading host, and where at the |
most critical juncture, when the issue |
hung trembling in the balance, Winfield |
S. Hancock like viking hurled back the /
tide of threatened destruction and saved |
the commonwealth and the country. |
