oonta'ns the following account Of ~
"Gov. Hubbard, Of Texas, was intro
duc-d by Il. j. dement, To the vast audi
.nce nj ON Of the stands. Dement, told
the people Ia sit down on tho grass lusl
like tho disciples used tn do. Gov.
bard said he came from u far distant
State To talk over the issues ~ the day.
VAST Interests were at stake III this elec-
ton. After the great war had gone by
for u quarter of "A century, aiterthe tri-
umph of the Democratic party In con
trolling "a majority OF In States Of the
Union, after u presidency mad been
stolen from the u mocrary, no apology
was needed. Cheers lie felt as much
AT home IN Illinois 49, he would on the
banks NJ the Rio Grundo. Southern
Democrats more Than any other men
would be opposed Ia another war. II
Northern Democracy from the great
states of the Yves, had been the first Ia
extend tho hand of fellowship 10 the
impoverished south at the close of the
war. l%Applause.l
Gov. Hubbard then depicted the course
of the Republicans toward he people Of
the South after the rebellion, And said
THE ouTH
had been called and was solid TO the
party and people which came To its res
Que. CHEERS. lie was not here TO deal
in personal abuse or carry Goals To New
10 do their duty. a host of orators had
goue To the South to brace up IL people;
surely one humble citizen of Texas had
the right TO come u the home OF Doug
las aud other great men u talk tn his
fellow men. IApplause.l The history
of the Democratic party was writ
ten before tho era OF a blood
aud cruel war. The record was made
aud would never die. Applause! II
lived immovable rs tho u of ages.
The party amid war, misrule, in peace
aud misfortune, had lived perenniaily
fresh In its principles. Men died, but
princi les lived. lCheers.l The consti-
tuition would never perish while liberty
had u votary or a lover. The names of
Mcclellan and Hancock would live Us
the stars.
The speaker then paid a handsome
tribute the Democratic boys in blue,
and told of the yrowtho OF the Democratic
party and uf the robbery of the Presi-
dency in 1876. The same principles
| whicn sustained Democracy seventy
! ive years ago were alive to-day. 1t WAS
opposed To the
GENERALIZATION OF POWER,
high taxation, and protection obtained
AT the expense OF the toilers of the land.
II was sand that the reference to an elec-
tor | commission of the election of 1876
debarred the Democrats from speaking
of tho matter. THEFT was like BanquO's
ghost and would not down. Applause.
Louisiana never had cast its electoral
vote for Hayes and "A Vice President
whose name the speaker had forgotten:
Loud laughter. The greatest issue of
the campaign was to right the great
wrong of ls76-a presid ;ncy which was
by impious hounds b ught with basest
god. Cheers.
The speaker referred to the tariff and
other blanks in the Republican plat
form, and said the record OF the party
showed it to he a huge iaisehood. Inc
Republicans promised some years ago
to reduce the tariff . per cent, but on
applying the knife only cut it 4 per cent.
The treasury was now 'ull of money,
and taxation was two high. There
would be no poverty, no pubic works
stopped lie had heard their orators III
DAYS gone by sav to the w~orkinSinen:
LET well enough alone. Don't trust
the Democrats. Stand by W. and you
will never be out of employment"
These men had
wIlFULLY TOLL FAsEHooDs,
and deceived the workingmen of the
land. The speaker made Il most eff
fective and eloquent address, and said,
ifthc expression was permitted, most OF
the Republicans who were now bowling
about the bloody shirt never had any
blood on their shirts in the war. tGreat
laugiter.l Southern Democrats were
not intolerant, and the speaker told the
audience that the enfranchisod negro
mover had rs good a friend as the man
who raised him. There were not 10000
men in Texas who would put the negro
again in bondage, but there
were 2,U0O,0W southern uen who
would not permit it,. lChee s.
Buffers talks were nero ricochet
movements, as they were called in artil-
l-ry practice, for Mr.. Blaine. .Lauhg-
ter. The speaker referred to the vast
wealth of his state and said the negroes
were being educated. The negroes were
the happiest people On earth. They did
not work to hurt themselves. Cries of
"No, no!") A pol tax was imposed on
the negroes the same as on the whites,
but it's collection was not enforced
