The speaker went on to show that Andrew
Johnson, having reconstructed the South en-
tirely in the interests of the rebels Congress
found II necessary TO pass the Fourteenth
Amendment. He then explained the nature
of, and the necessity for the different clauses,
showing that only by their enactment and
adoption were the lives and liberties of the
Union white man or loyal blacks secured.
After referring to the great claims of the
nominees of the Republican party, he came TO

THE following is from the Enquirer's account
Of private meeting of the Ohio Democratic
delegation June % 1885,
1.-THE Ohio brethren had a very peculiar sort
OF a love feast at their rooms at the Grand last
night. General Durbin Ward opened the ball
with q durbiniad, so to speak, of woe, in which
he had much to say in the way of lamentation,
and considerable more in the way OF denuncia-
ton of those recreants who had indicated q de-

"Then up rose Hoadly, the eloquent, and %
the dmdzenent Of eperybody c,ssed right out loud.
| The Judge didn't talk about traitors and things
one bit, but read lecture to the minority, in
which the great, grand and growing principles
OF Democracy, on which his pedal extremities
had firmly rested for 10! these many years,
were held up to the light, examined and
praised with all the eloquence and volubility
OF the auction block, protested his undying af-

Scarcely had the Judge taken his seat when
Bill Hill, OF Defiance, took the floor and
/ hurled hot shot, intermixed with profanity,
into the camp OF the Payne men, asking, in
the course of his remarks, Why, if the gen.

man Long had gone directly from the Ohio
quarters to the rooms of the New York delega.

himself to Hoadly, he said:

The Manufacture of Democratic Majoritiei
in Cincinnati.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer July 8, 1885,
To review the last few local, county and Stat,
elections involves the politician in many diff
culties with the political slate, and at times thu
calculator is made dizzy by the queer ways il
winch tlle NOteS-part1CularlyQ OF the last eleC
tion--present themselves. So much has beer
said and written about the large Democratic
German vote that the Enquirer has been u
work to prepare brief statement of the las
vote had in this city. 1t will prove interesting
to the reader of politics:
"In estimating the chances of the next Gu
bernatorial election, great many calculation
are made on the majorities which the larg
cities are TO give for the Democratic ticket, ant
these najorities are to be made up by the Ger
mans, whom, it is claimed Mr.. Hoadly car
retain in the Democratic ranks. Their vote
are to overcome any losses he may sustain il
the country, and sanguine Democrats CLAIM
counties like Hamilton and Cuyahoga by ma
jorities of five thousand TO ten thousand each
But all these eXtravagant figures will not bea
the test OF close scrutiny, and careful com
parison of the vote cast in the city of Cincinnati
last spring with that cast here during the las
few years will show that it is idle to talk abou
retaining the entire or the larger half of tn
German Republican vote. The great mas
of the Republican Germans that voted witt
the Democrats in the spring and fail of 1888
left them, again last spring, and although
number of persons who are directly engaged
in the liquor traffic, and who feel sore abou
the Scott tax, may still act with the Demo
. cratic party, the great mass of the German
population, whose anger was aroused by th
Smith Law. do not seem to feel the same III
dignation in regard to the Scott Law whic
only imposes tax upon liquor dealers. Th
latter advocated the election of Stephens in tn
most urgent manner, and used all means il
: their power to bring about his success, but wer
unable to prevent the four Republican over

majorities. A glance at the figures will prov
this. The Seventh Ward which had give
