In the afternoon Judge HOadly was
introduced by Hon. K. NJ. Murray to a
large audience i'll the Opera House, and
delivered THttling speech of two hours
length, which was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the Democrats.
Judge Hoadly spoke as follows:
FELLOW CITIZENS OF MIAMI, DARKE
AND SHELBY COUNTIES i congratulate
you with all my heart upon the unanim-
ity on the occasion of your convention
this morning. IL is the presage of vic
tory. A few weeks ago heard the hon
Ored father OF your candidate would be
your nominee for Senator, but during
that time he has passed from the earth,
and his son is called forward by the
Democrats of this Senatorial district to
take his place. | trust he will fully ex-
emplify the old Spanish prOverb:
Follow your father, good SON.
And do as your father mas done"
Fellow eitizens [ am here this after
noon To congratulate you, to greet you
and exchange congratulations with you
upon the auSplclOuS OmenS of the day
Victory seems within our grasp. Yet we
must not forget that the election will
not take place for more than two months
TO come. | say victory is within our
grasp, for they have commenced lying
already.
This il usually the last resort of poll.

mean by beginning so early they are out
of stock before election. for 1 think the
stock il ineXhaustible; but the lying
which has already begun indicates the
want of facts and argument, and the
desperation of their cause.
1t has been announced by the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette that am here
with view of replying to Judge Fora
ker'S speech at Hamilton. will discuss
with you some points in that speech, but
will recite some others that | may re-
cite them hereafter.
Beginning now with that which is
personal with myself, l must say | was
surprised to find in Judge FOraker's
speech at Hamilton the following Ian
guage:
81 don't think l need say anthing
more in answer to this irrelevant stuff;
and yet there is one other matter want
to refer to. Probably Judge HOadly will
not give me pTOYOcatiOn TO refer to it
again. hope not for his own sake. If
he could know and appreciate how right
minded, sensitiVely honorable men, with
out regard to political bias, regard the
part taken by him i'll the Presidential
controversy of 1876, he would never re-
fer again to the theft of the Presidency"
FellOw-citizens, if there is one thing
in my life of which | am proud; If there
is one thing i'll my life of which my chill
dren's children will have the right TO
be proud of, it is that with all the
strength of my intellectual nature, with
all the strength of my moral nature,
fought against the theft of the Presiden-
cy in 1876. Long and continued ap-
plause.
The only shame 1 feel with regard to
it is not for myself, but for the Republi-
can party. Loud applause.l l am asha-
med that L failed, but not ashamed of
what did IAnniauap I
If ever there was fair election, the
result of which was reversed by fraud,
it is the election of 1876. [Applause.l
Serene and strong in the retirement
of his old age, the victor in that con
test, Samuel j. Tilden, is the uncrOwn-
ed king of every Democratic heart. Elec-
ted by a majority of the popular vote of
over 250,OO0 Suffrages, elected by an hon
est majority of twenty electoral votes,
he is happier in the consciousness that
he did his duty, than all the fussy agi-
tatOrs who stole the office from him, and
from the American people.
Not give him pTOyOcatiOn, ,"Oh, danger

as defiance to our antagonists to strike.
|, with all my power, strike the chip

all L can. You hope 1 will not give

Judge Foraker says: Judge HOadly
ought to understand that everybody
knows there was no theft of the Presi-
dency, and no attempt of theft except
only In Oregon, ana That in the interest
of Mr.. Tilden. Judge HOadly had charge

the opinions of the right minded ,sensi-

''The right minded ,sensitively hOnOra-

partisans of Judge Foraker, who either
assisted or cOndOned the theft of the
PresidencyJ DO you not know that the

ly, that a vote for the ineligible eandi-
date, and the constitution of the United
States, makes your postmaster whom
you tried to elect electOr in Oregon in

result Is the election of the next high
est candidate, - settled law of the state
of Indiana, three times decided by its
Supreme Court, became the settled law
of the state of Maine by decision of the
Supreme Court of that state, and was af-

islature of Massachusetts; was twice
used by the Republican party in the re-
construction of Maryland, and once used
in the reconstruction of Mississippi for
the purpose of assisting to induct Re-
publican Office-hOldeTs when Democrats
had received larger votes. and was at
tempted to be used by Mathew II. Car
penter, and surely he was q good Re-
publican, Judge Foraker, and good
lawyer, Judge Foraker, backed by half
the Republicans in the Senate, to seat
Jos. q. Abbott as U. s. Senator from
Rhode Island.
