We can call to recollection what the republicans

intimate friends have told his history. Mr. Ditty

Democratic principles, who will see that we are
represented by "A Democrat in the United States
Senate. Compare our legislative ticket man by
man with the Republican ticket. Is there any
man on it whose character is unworthy and who
will not at least compare favorably in ability
with the Republican candidates? II the latter
are no better they are certainly inferior to our
candidates in Democratic principles.
Can any man lay his hand on his heart and say
that Walker your candidate for Sheriff, is an i'm
proper nomination? He would not say that he
is better than the other aspirants to the position,
but he is q good man, good citizen and equal to
any demands of the office.
Have you any real grievance with the past acts
of Democratic County Commissioners which can
be rcmedied by clecting the Republican candi-
dates for Commissioners?
The Republican party say they are friends of
the laboring man and bitterly opposed to rings
fusion in Hartford. When the Democrats selected
candidates they did not get certain gentlemen TO
name their ticket SO that it was known a week
before their convention met. TO elect any of
their candidates will require heavy draft on
their pockets.
The first time money was ever spent in Hartford
county was of recent date. You remember when
crisp hank notes were spent to buy popularity
for II Republican candidate who was not elected.
lie did not mean To say that money is not neccs-
sary for legitimate campaign expenses hut up to
that time no one ever heard in Hartford of money
US an element to secure an election.
The Republican party in this county had pro-
posed TO do the county printing for an amount
which bore no relative value to the actual cost,
but the proposition was solely political trick.
Gentlemen had put their money in that paper
and say, we want no dividends if we can only
succeed ~ getting political power in Hartford
county. They say, we are willing to spend our
money for that purpose.
The Republican party has counted in n Presi-
no man in power to guard our liberties or our
treasure who has robbed us of both.
Ex-Judge Grason was the next speaker. He
was suffering from Il severe cold which had pre-
vented him from keeping an engagement to speak
elsewhere, and had only come TO meet the Demo-
Gratis of Hartford, where he had always been
treated with marked kindness. What have the
Republicans of this State done, he said to justify
the belief that they would give us any reforms.
He briefly sketched some of the unlawful and
arbitrary acts of the Republican party when in
power, and hoped every Democrat in Hartford
county would vote the whole Democratic ticket,
Mr.. VIM. Young was next called upon for
speech. He said that at one time it looked as If
the meeting might be failure, from the absence
of the speakers who were expected from the city,
but if the humblest Democrat had stood before
this large audience and merely announced the
fact that Ohio had gone Democratic by 5000 ma.

make speech but would say to the Democrats
of Hartford county that they had met in primary
meetings and nominated their candidates, and
every man who voted in those meetings was in
honor bound to support the nominations and
stand by every man placed on the ticket. There
man If the Democrats will stand by the agree
ment made when they voted in the primary meet
ings. Every man on the ticket is worthy of our
his vote for Mciane against Hoton? The latter
when turned down by the people of his county
accepted q seat in the Senate to which he was not
elected. Take the picture of Hoton painted by
Ditty and Albert, both Republicans, and tell me
il any Democrat is willing to contribute to his
success. We are going to have McLane for
Governor of Maryland and the whole Democratic
ticket in Hartford county Don't talk but orga-
nize and work ard your ticket is safe beyond all
Mr.. George Y. Maynadier said the sound of the
first cannon of the campaign had been heard in
the Republican ship. 1t is so crippled that in
1884 it will be hauled into port rs a prize of the
Democrats.
When the Republicans of Hartford county tell
you to ignore this or that man on your ticket il Is
nonsense. If you are Democrats you should sup
port Democratic principles, unless you have Sc
leced men who are not to he trusted. who Sc
lected your ticket? Did not every Democrat, no
matter how humble who went TO the polls have
the same voice as the highest and wealthiest? a
convention was held by the Republicans in this
room, and according to the behest of certain par
ties certain names were placed on their ticket
1t is boosted that they had to be urged to allow
their names to be used, and only consented for
the good of the Republican party. Are Demo
Gratis called upon to vote for those men tn aid the
Republican party? What does il mean to aid that
party? 1t means to restore the wise legislation
of the Rcpublicans-tO go back to the time when
Republican laws prohibited you from voting. -
The men you send to the Legislature will have to
elect United States Senator, and the next Senate
may have the duty devolves upon 1t of choosing
the next President. Not one candidate upon the
Democratic ticket will be defeated if every Demo
crat will turn out and do his duty.

He said the meeting seemed to go on the prnci-
pie that If little is good more Is better. Give us
