profusely distributed. but the voters did not

time, gathered in about seventy-fully one

Hill first took the floor. He did not have his
little piece learned, so he read it from legal
cap, where some kind friend had prepared it
for him. He haunted the bloody shirt and
talked Southern claims wildly. he claimed
dead issue. Mr.. Severance, the
orator from Appleton, sat in the rear
of the hall and started all the applause that
poor Hill received. which was indeed sick.
Hill did not attempt to deny the charges
against Mr.. Garfield, but claimed that the solid
South should be divided. He said the solid
South, under the disguise OF the Democratic
party, are attempting to get ontrol of our
government. Here MIR. Severance attempted to
raise an applause, but no one Joined him. Hill
claims to be personal friend of Garfield and
at the time of the nomination he said Garfield's
election would be big thing for him. He
says the only time he ever considered the Re-
publican party did wrong thing was when
they returned to the South the power to cast
ballot. He would have had them left as ont
casts, and believe that to be the principle of
most of the party. Ho says should the Demo-

As for Mai. Strait he could not say much.
He thought Mr.. Poehler a good, genial man,
but Democrat. (Slight applause.)
Here MIR. Severance took the floor.
MIR. Severance is quite a nice gentleman, he
had his piece learned and delivered it very
well. He was here because his heart was with
the Republican party. He owed it duty Sec

his church. He talked about the ku klux the
danger for a Republican to speak his thoughts
in the South, Haunted the bloody shirt and
sported Southern claims. He gave few
sketches of war and battles, which would have

against Garfield or Arthar. Nor did he say

Vice President is now before you. State an,
local dissensions are eliminated from the is
sues of the day. The magnitude of victory O
defeat can only be estimated by the forces ant
means employed in securing it.. By fraud ant
corruption the people of the country were de
feated in this purpose in 1876. and the rightful
ly elected President was kept from Office. B.
