son referred TO the new registration and other
reforms given TO the State by the Democratic
party and said that every abuse would be cor
rected by Democratic men and Democratic mea-
sures. Not one of the abuses complained of he
said, furnished an excuse for any man to leave
the Democratic party. A wa:chful adversary is
taking advantage of the distractions in the DEM
ocratic party. Arthur is an astute political
manager, and sees all the weak spots in the
Democratic party. The Republicans have lost
congressman In Ohio, and this, without any
other changes, would give the Democrats con
troll of the House of Representatives after March
4th 1883 The Senate for two years after that
time will be in the hands of the Republicans
If there should be no election of President by
the people the next House of REPRESENTATIVE
will elect the President by States. Maryland
has one vote, cast by the majority. If that is
Democratic the vote will be cast for the Demo.
cratic candidate. If you were to go into the
cabinet of Mr. Arthur you would see that every
power OF his administration is eXerted to secure
Republican congressman. They have lost head
way in the Northern States and are seeking to
make up their losses in Southern States Their
policy Is TO support Independent Democratic
candidates. In Virginia, Malone declares he is
no Republican, yet Arthur has bargained with
him for Republican congressman, and the
price paid is the control of the Federal patron
age in that State. The Republicans in Missis-
sippi support Chalmers, the butcher of Fort
Pillow, as an Independent candidate. In South
Carolina they support Cash, an independent
candidate and independent candidates for Judge.
ships. In North Carolina Fowke, former Con-
federate colonel, is backed by the whole patron
age of Washington.
In this district they have interpolated judi
cial issue of independent candidate for Judge,
Stevenson Archer-a gentleman of character and
highest respectability. He used to know Col.
Webster and Mr.. Creswell They are both able
men. They know what they want and go in
telligently to work TO get it They have with
them Archibald Stirling, of Baltimore, stall
wart of the stalwarts, who will have nothing to
do with Democrats except to get them to pull
Republican chestnuts out of the fire. Do you
believe Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Creswell or Mr.. Stir
ling care who is elected Judge in Hartford coun-
ty? If by getting one-half of the Republicans
to vote for Yellott and one-halt to vote for Ar
cher, and all in exchange for votes for Blair,
they can secure n member of Congress, Mr.
Webster will stand high on the list for promo
ton. The same plan is being tried in Baltimore
city. 1t would be melancholy reflection
after the election, to find four independent
Democratic Judges elected and lose four men,
bers of Congress, thereby giving the Republic
cans majority of the vote of the State in the
House of Representatives.
Mr.. WIN. 5. keech, of Towsentown, was then
introduced. He referred feeingly to the fact
that Hartford was his native county, and said
that in 20 years, when permitted to vote he had
never voted except for the regular nominees of
the Democratic party. He spoke of his friend
ship for Stevenson Archer, and expressed his re-
greet that he had left the Democratic ranks and
was engaged in a crusade against the party. 1t
is a blow, said he, that Mr.. Webster and Mr..
Creswell are striking at your candidate for Con-
gress. George Yellott was fairly nominated

gates to the county convention pledged to him.
We ask you to go to the polls next Tuesday and
support our candidates as we supported your
candidate Stevenson Archer, four times for
Congress. Mr. David Fowler was unanimously
nominated by the convention He is gentle
man and O Democrat but no mere partisan.-
Now when everything looks bright for the De-
mocracy shall we falter and permit gentleman
to be elected whose election will destroy the
Democratic party? | love and respect Steven
son Archer, and am sorry he has placed himself
in this position. | trust he may yet see his err
ror and withdraw. If he stays where he is one
plain duty is before us, to support the nominal
tons that have been fairly and squarely made
by the Democratic party. Will you help the
Republicans and Messrs. Creswcl and Webster =?
1t is even said that Hon. Edwin Ii. Webster
carries Hartford county in his pocket? Is this
so? If not let your votes for Yellott, Fowler
and Talbot, next Tuesday, show il. Do not
let your love for Mr.. Archer induce you to vote
against the Democratic nominees, and bear es-
pecially in mind the great importance of elect
ing your candidate for Congress.
Hon. j. Fred e. Talbot, Democratic candi-
date for Congress, was the next speaker. He
| said that in 1880 the Republicans asserted that
be disastrous to the business interests of the
country Garfield was fairly elected and the
| Democrats acquiesced in his election. The
| Southern people were cheered by his kind words
and all went on smoothly, until an assassin's
| hand struck down President Garfield. The cof-
| fin of the murdered President was no sooner
closed than Arthur locked arms with Grant, and
Col. Webster, who had been q Blaine man, lock-
| ed arms too, with Arthur, obtaining the Balti-
| more Custom House as his reward Then the
| persecution of Blaine's friends began. The
| country has tried Republican rule and the peo-
| Pile want change. Mr.. Talbot referred to the
| labor strikes and said that labor never struck
| for higher wages when men received enough to
| support their families. Mr.. Talbot declared
| his opposition to the introduction of Chinese
labor to compete with American labor The
| Republicans not only stole the Presidency from
Tilden, but also stole Tilden's financial policy.
| He was the first man in public life who ever
said that the national debt could lie funded at
| less than six per cent. Mr.. Talbot showed
| that there could be no such thing as free
| trade" in this country. We must have tariff
to provide for the legitimate expenses of the gov
eminent. but it is wrong to eXtort from the peo-
pie $780, 600 year more than is necessary for
carrying on the government. He urged Hartford
county Democrats to stand firm for their prn-
ciples. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Massachusetts and Illinois are going Demo-
cratic, and Democrats who had for 20 years
! stood by their party would be rewarded. He
was not going to be frightened. He would be
elected. He asked no personal vote, but coun-
seled Democrats to vote for the party of re.
form, the party of law and of equal and exact
