The evening session began with the Tooth bal
ilot-exactly like all Others exactly like the In.
formal ballot; and so the farce continued until
the 125th was reached when Kendall man
moved that for future ballots, each delegate
should cast his own vote.
Hart who owned La Sale body and soul as a
voting machine in this convention, objected be-
| cause the delegates had that right.
A Will county man, who had been most eyre,
giousy deceived as to the amount OF nerve"
in individual delegates, said in such way individ-
ual preferences might be got at
The chair ruled the question out OF order until
the old rule should be reconsdered, but changed
the ruling on the suggestion 1t was simply a
change of rule, and put the question which was
carried.
All latent hopes on anybody's mind that the
delegates generally had courage enough to
break away from their instructions, was soon put
at rest for the ballots gave the same result: 10
IL, 5, s."
On the 13lst ballot one vote was cast for Bush
nell, out of the La Sale IL; which vote raised
big row in the delegation, because it looked like
feeler to break up their vote.
On the l39th ballot the secretary dropped the
names and read the result simply, 40, IL, D. D,
with great success.
Alter the l43d, a Will man moved to adjourn
to o'clock next A. NJ, which Gfundy man
moved to table. Adjournment lost. After the
l49th the motion was renewed and again lost.
After the 15Sd Corbus moved that a committee

But the Doc was sat down on.
After the 18th (about IL o'clock recess OF

was repeated until 1885, when the l61 ballot was
taken, being 40, II, 5. s." Then We quit in dis

CORRECTION.


The Republican press, in the ankle.
ty TO secure words from Democrats in
dorsing General Garfelds political and
private character, in several instances
have materially altered the words Of
Endorsement. We have an instance in
hand, They give Hon. II. Milton
Speer's words at Pittsburgh as FOL.
lows:
"This is my first public utterancG
since the Chicago nomination and
desire to say right here that | served
four years in Congress with General
Garfield. | know him well, and
honor him for his honesty, his integri.
ty, his ability, his breadth of knowl.
edge and his upright character"
Now this is what Mr.. Speer said:
"As this is my first public utterance
since the Chicago Convention, | wish
TO say that served four years in the
House with General Garfield, and
know him well. He is q gentleman Of
fine culture, broad Information and un.
doubted ability"
The Monitor published at Mr.. Speer's
own home adds these comments. Read
them:
"No reference whatever was made
to General Garfeld's official conduct
or integrity. Mr. Speer could not
truthfully or consistently have made
use of the language imputed to him,
because he is on record in the House as
aSSd,ling General Gdrfeld's connection

Mr., Speer has said in regard to Gen
eral Garfeld's zine culture" broad in.
formation" and "undoubted ability" is
no doubt true, but the Republican or.
gans cannot dlstort his language into
an Endorsement of General Garfield &
official conduct or integrity. His guilty
connection with the Credit Mobilier
job has been clearly established by the
report of a Republican Committee OF
the House, and nothing that his Re.
publican friends can say for HIM now,
will remove that stain of dishonor"

loni ,no isvpuUncan party IN obedi

duty that impelled them to take uT
arms against the rebellion and fight it
as Hancock did, until it was dead
They are patriotic citizens Then
creed is that their acts should be such
as will best promote the public wei
fare, They went into the war be
cause they felt that the success of the
Coniederacy would be the destruction
of the best government on earth They
fought for the restoration OF the Union
They will not believe and they can't
possibly be made TO believe, that the
object for which they sacrificed SO
much, and for which so many of their
comrades died, was not attained.
They believe the Union is restored.
They are confident that Gen. Grant
told them the truth when he said, in
his tour up the Mississippi, that he had
seen, in every State Of the deiunct
Confederacy, the most convincing OF
proofs that the men of the South were
as loyal to the Union, and as devoted
to the old flag as the people of any
Northern State
They have seen enough of sectional
hate, have heard the bowling of the
bloody shirt chorus until they are sick
of it; have witnessed the untiring ef.
forts of the Radical leaders TO fan the
embers of expiring malice into flames
until their very souls loathe the old
shibboleths and notices by which the
Northern heart has been fred until L
has ceased to respond to the old inhu.
ences.
These men recognize, in the cheer.
iul alacrity with which the South
comes TO the support OF a soldier like
Hancock, the best possible evidence of
desire on the part Of the Southern
people to get the country out of the
old sectional ruts, and put our politics
upon higher plane. They are with
Hancock in this campaign for the same
reason that they were with him at
Gettysburg and other fields where he
earned bis immortal fame-because
they are sure that the future of our
country will be happier, more prosper.
GUS and more glorious il the cause
which he represents is triumphant.
Against this patriotic impulse how
poor, how small, how impoteEt are
such devices as the discharge Of a gal.

a departmental position for declaring
that he would support Hancock. True,
the sneaks who discharged him want
ed him to resume his place when they
found that he was gentleman OF in.
fence and would take the stump in
Illinois, but this only aggravates the
original business. Captain Hamlin
spurned their offer with the contempt
that is shared by the whole country.
As persecution is the seed Of the
church, so this sort of prescription,
which is bong tried in not less than
three of the departments, will but add
to the tide it is intended TO check.
The soldiers lo,n rally to the Hancock
column. They will vote for the great
General who fought to the end OF the
war, and whose record is spotless,
rather than for the smaller General
who left them in the midst of the ter
rible conflict to take civil office far
TO the rear.
