ADDRESS.
Ladies, Fellow Citizens: We have met
here this evening as a representative people,
aud associates Of those that cast their ballots
upon Nov. 4 10 elect a man to represent the
loftiest position in the wOrld-president of
the United States-comprising a population
OF sixty millions of people. We are met
here, victOrs and vanQuished alike,
In joint-reioieing over the election
the great reformation executive Of the state
OF New York. wish TO say well done upon
your parts and feel that l can say truthfully
God permitting" the great reformation
which you are all expected to look forward
10 shall certainly take place under the firm
ness OF him whom you have saw ht TO repose
that trust in.
1t is with pride stand before an assembly
OF voters composed largely of young men
who cast their first presidential ballot, and
which was cast upon the winning side, and
more upon the side which il was absolutely
necessary to become the successful one in
order 10 prevent the riveting Of the shackles
Of corruption so firmly upon the people as 10
forever have made it an impossibility to cast
them to windward. You have cast your
ballots in behalf of what you consid-
cred the eountrY's good, aud
now in conformation of party's
ring, whose head had once been entrusted
with the second loitiest position in the world,
namely. sneaker of the house Of representa-
tives, only TO prostitute it for private gain
and whose aspirations were 10 the loftiest
ont-she 1presidency-whch, if he had re-
ceived. would have been subjected by him
and associates to more degrading position,
but the intelligence Of the voter for once
thwarted the ringsters. We are the ouly
town or city IN this assembly district who
placed the banner OF reformation at our head
Y In the campaign, and when its close
ca me upon US, our banner was still there
with the only majority inscribed upon Il for
"Tell the Truth, Cleveland and RefOrm.'
The grand old party,as the yanqulshed styled
purpose, through its immortal head--Abra-
ham Lincoln Ito which, it received this re
sponse, we are coming, Father Abraham, with
a hundred thousand more.
! see among us grey-haired veteranswhose
politics were the same then as that which has
just triumphed in this great march, but know
ing the cOuntry's fate awaited their action,
marched In conjunction TO that echo. Poll
ties were not q measure then, but now, after
twenty years, you were confronted all through
this campaign with q raiment named the
bloody shirt, by the men whose cowardice
and love for preying upon that prosperity
which should have been yours, remained at
home. But there is one more march to take
place in which you will not Join. The call
will be issued by the head of the same old
party, but how different in aspect, how ut
terly opposite the men composing that array
in comparison to the one in which you
Joined. The call viii be issued upon
March 4, 1885, by James G.. Blaine and
Vill he answered-we are coming, one hun
dred and twenty thousand more. Their
march will b. the retrugrade from our last
funeral. They have held our funeral ser
vices four distinct times, and hung around
our tomb so persistently as to make our res
direction impossible, but at last the ring,
over-conddenced in their trium phaut meas
ured pilferings, sought TO put at their head a
man who would tolerate all jobbery aud not
expose such small steals as the star route but
accept shares IN all channels Of wealth which
they might Sec ct TO steer their bark into.
casting their anchor and reposing upon its
sources, while they had the no dead head in
the enterprise for their leader, but outside of
the ring there was the party in which there
were many Independents who revolted at the
outrage Of putting that ring nominee at the
head OF these people, and those that
had watched Us so closely were
obliged To rush to the rescue
OF tbeir dissatisfied elements, and, when thus
unguarded, We issued forth from our tomb,
and being refreshed with our long deaths
slumber, allied ourselves with nstion's in
dependence and vanquished our quarter Of
century dictators. Voting Republicans,
which are only voters, voted for the man be-
cause they had cast Republican ballots so
succeedingly that they considered It an i'm
possibility to east anything else. Yet for
that we are all 10 live under one form of
government, therefore, we will receive them
into our ranks and In a few years Of absorb
ing Democratic ideas no trace OF their former
associates viii be discernabie. We have at
last successfully tramplcd under foot their
banner, berried the bloody shirt, which has
been their symbol in all presidential cam
paigns FOR the past twenty years. and my
observance the past few DAYS seems TO con-
vince me that the stars and stripes
never shone out more brighter than now,
and the man who receives the rnaioritv Of
