It have seen the majesty of the law vindicated against the mob in cities and States. Now we say that wherever the Government has power it is supreme. Yet we cannot collect the revenue in the South without bloodshed. I say that the lawful supremacy of the Gov ernment must and shall be maintained, and at the ballot box as well as everywhere else. The matter of Southern claims has been dis cussed and the tables of both houses of Con- press have been loaded with this class of claims for years, and but for Republican President at the other end of the avenue
 many of them would be passed There is no use in saying that the Southerners will not press their claims for losses during the war If you give them 8 chance.
 The Democrats have had the power, sub stantislly, for two years and will ask you what they have done during this time. Well, they have expended $26o; OOO on nvestlgat5 ing committees, and yet they have not found enough to make 8 two page pamphlet of scan- daI against the Republican party. (Cheers-) You may find individual wrong doers, but that has nothing to do with the Republican party at large.
 The General then took up the tariff ques- tion He said the Democrats have now de- clared for revenue tariff. D We'll, there is we will say $40, GOO, ,000 of revenue to col lect, and they say we will collect 1t in the easiest way we can. A revenue tariff means virtually free trade as advanced by the Demo
  He thought it would be disastrous to the peo- pie of the country at large to go from the present limited protective tariff system to revenue tariff system. We have, continued the General, everything in this country to make it land of diversified industry, and we propose to make everything in this coun- try that we need and have some to sell. We ! have the materials and why not make what is required instead of going abroad to buy what we want and thereby sending our mon ey out of the country, and 1n consequence have our mills and manufactories stand idle. I holdNit to be the duty of nation to take care of it's own and to protect its own indus tries. desire to have our tariff revised, but want it done by our friends and not by those who would kill us. All foreign countries protect themselves by tariff, and many of the colonial countries tax their own mother for goods sent to them. Why does not Great \ Britain interfere with these tariff laws i'm posed upon her by her colonies? Well, she has not been much in the habit of interfering with colonial governments since 1776. (Cheers I believe the Democratic party will adopt revenue tariff, and they would have done it long ago had they had man at the other end of the avenue to sign their bill after they had passed it. What do you sup pose the great mass of men down South think of New England anyhow? They think New England is the mother of all the here sies of free schools and free ballot, and they want nothing to do with us. I believe that if they get full control of the government New England will receive such a blow as they have never had.
 General Hawley then considered briefly the 'solid South, ' and said that this title was not given them by the Republicans. They-pro- pose to have 138 electoral votes in the South and they declare it openly. They talk it in their speeches, and they have laid their plans
 for it. Republicans in the South are impris-
 oned and in chains, and the Southerner holds that the federal government has no right to interfere with the ballot box, and there never was such union among this Southern class as there is to-day. Are they not ambitious and do they not expect to rise from the grave of Appomatox I tell you that they again expect to rule this land, and wonder that the mechanics and ''mudsills'' of the North should dreamily stand by and see these men again try to take the reins of government The General continued and asked if the many millions of the North were to submit to the dictation of the few millions of the South.
 In closing, General Hawley paid glowing tribute to the Republican candidates His reference to Mayor Bigelow was received with continued cheers. It gave him, he said, great pride as a Hartford man to pay his respects | to the Republican candidate for Governor. A few complimentary words were also spoken for the Republican candidate for Congress in ! this district. He then took up General Han | cocks record, referred to the 'sOrder No. 40," and stated that the idea that the military should be subservient to the civil authority was an idea well understood by every boy who has ever perused Blackstone. He then asked why the Democrats did not take up Thurman, or Bayard, or Seymour, or Hen 1 dricks, and answered it by saying that they ! wanted a man who was good looking and had | said but very ittle and so they took Han cock.
 He then referred to the Republican candi- date for President, and when General Gar 4 fields name was brought into prominence there was immense enthusiasm. A brief statement of General Garfeld's early and I later life, and the successes that had followed him through life, was here given. His con- stituents had sent him to Congress nine times, and they would have sent him nine
 times more had he not been nominated for President. He lives in district that is near CT like New England than that the speaker
 was even in. They are an intelligent people, and as I said before they would have continued to send him to Congress if he had not been wanted at the other end of the avenue. General Gar fields ability and great work in Congress were referred to, and the speaker affirmed that he
 was never guilty of mean act. The speaker efectually disposed of the charges against
 General Garfield, and said that that man did
 not live but what had some time or other
 stepped out of the bounds of true rectitude
 of conduct, and if 8 search was made he
 thought it would be found that at some time
 or other General Hancock had made fool of
 himself
 In closing, General Hawley excused himself
 for talking so long, and bade them good night
 General Hawiey, who had spoken for two hours and half, was greeted with loud cheers when he closed
 MT. Sperry then introduced Miss Nellie Holbrook, of San Francisco. The lady, on coming to the stage, was greeted with cheers. Miss Holbrook is slightly above medium height, is blonde and was dressed in black velvet trimmed with lace. Without prelimina- ry remarks she proceeded to discuss the is- sues of the campaign. She thought it should not take man who had the love of his country at heart long to decide which way he should vote. The solid South and the important significance of the position taken by that section of the country was dwelt upon at length, and the danger to the loyal North was dwelt upon at length. The posi- tion of the Democrats during the war and since was referred to in scathing terms, and in closing she referred to the false position of General Hancock and declared that the Dem ocrats could suit themselves to all occasions. General Hancock was the candidate of the South, and if elected he will be subservient to their wishes. The solid South will SUD- port General Hancock, and if elected he will support them. But his election is not possi ble; it never can be- In closing, the speaker paid glowing tribute to General Garfield. and predicted his triumphant election
 On the conclusion of Miss Holbrook's ad- dress three cheers were given for the candi- dates and three more for the speakers and the meeting then adjourned.
