popGEp orr on THE TARIFF
issue. in reply TO which lac alluded to Gen
eral Hancock's New Jersey letter lie al.
luded to the nominations Of Epson and
Finlay as gross departures from plat
form democracy, both OF which con-
gressional nominations were made IN the
interest of high protection. He challenged
Mr.. Wellborn, who he had heard, was going
around with little books, to show any meas
ure of good to the people passed by the
democratic party, or where any proposed
by them had not been defeated by coall-
ton between democrats and republi-
cans. He charged also that ON the action
of the twenty democrats voting against the
majority of the party, Reagan had pro
nounced the party "debauChed. From this
statement OF facts he argued that the same
state of affairs must always exist as 1t had
for years, and that remedy for evils
must be sought outside Of that party.
Those twenty democrats ruled, and 1t was
utterly impossible with them in the
ranks to nominate or elect to office
man south of Mason & Dixon's line,
Colonel Jones scientifically said that all the
democrats could do was to allude TO the
rule of Davis, the black rule OF radical
Davis, etc. That was cheap and senator
Davis, of Illinois, had APPLY said that the
republican party would never go down
until the democratic party did.
He contended that several years ago Il
large party in the north determined TO
abolish the bloody shirt but that they
were not met half way, and directly the
democratic party got into power they went
to work making u solid south, which had
the effect OF increasing republican ma'ori-
ties in the north, as witnessed by several
votes of states, Oregon aud others which he
cited
He said the democratic party was al
ways "iust about" to do something, but
Just as they were about to do it, Randall
would he called on blythe bank.men and
monopolists, when he would crack his fin
gers aud call in enough democrats to spoil
the thing.
He alluded to Senator Maxey's having
said ut Paris that God made money
and accused him of want of knowl
edge OF tho spelling book in which
he had learned wherein ii was laid down
that God made man and man made
money
But he wanted to know how many DEM
Ocrats il would take to pass measure, and
said his calculation led him to the belief
that il would require just seventy.siX dem.
ocrats aud seyenty.nine grecnbaCkers. lie
told the story of the three boys that freed
the coon and the man who had the coon by
the tail, wanting to give it away. A re-
publican, greenback and democratic boy
CAME up. The man stated he would give
IL to the boy who would announce his poll
ties, with the best reasons for entertaining
them.
The pub. stated he was republican be.
cause the party had saved the Union, es-
tablished universal freedom and saved the
nation.
The greenbackcr stated his reasons, which
were good-statcd that the country was
going to ruin--was run by machinery and
IN the hands of politicians and monopoliSts,
rather than in the possession OF patriots, etc.
The democratic boy said he was demo.
crat "Kasc he wanted the COON"
Colonel Jones then called upOn,Mr. Well
born to meet him on q grand issue,

the election committee before whom there
were twonty-thrcc cases, For his action ON
that committee he was arraigned b. Judge
Ireland although 1t was a purely judicial
question. Referring especially TO the case

for seating Lynch, thO objection to the ma

He then argued that Hancock aud Ireland
were both know-nothings before the war,
the former running against the democratic
party for the office of district Judge. Why
should not they who We're now for the
democracy vitiato by their support the
regular democratic nominations MS much as
