the hall as well as Republicans attracted there
by curiosity to see the speaker.
Mark II. Dunnell made the first speech.
He claimed that the government is better
run, better administered than it was twenty
years ago. Thomas A. Hendricks knows
that it is not true when he says the last adj
ministratiou is not as good as was Buchan-
ans. During the administration of Wash
ington the shrinkage on $1,000
was 50; during Van Buren's administration
it was increased to Sill, and it then grad
ually began to reduce until it was S3.S1
during Lincoln's administration it was 76
cents only; in the next it was only 81 and
Grants administration it was but "a cents,
ard under Hayes administration it was only
3 mills, and under Arthur's administration
it fell to 1 $40 mills. 1 insist that
no party was ever more loyal than
has been the Republican party since its ad-
vent. 1t has been wonderful career. The
Democrats did not go out of power leaving
money in the treasury; there was nothing in
the treasury, not enough to make a noise.
The Democrats charge Us with having $780,
100000 in the treasury as if we

cure these liabilities. want
to show that almost all this money is there
for a legitimate purpose. OF this large
amount of money $40, 900, 900 is there for
the redemption fund and to pay the interest
not yet due, 1884, 600, 900 is for the redemption
of the gold and silver certificates that we are

them; $23, O00,000 is there for
the payment of salaries of officers in the civil
service; S12.00 TO secure the per cent
bonds; S39, 900, 600 for notes on national
banks, which have failed. On the first of
the month bonds in the sum of SIC, ZOO, 900
will have become matured, so you will see
that seven -eighths of all this money is there
for purpose. After all rascals have not been at
the helm, and we have been enacting good
laws Tor good government. In 1860 census
of the country were taken by Democratic Of
fcers. As an American citizen | am proud
to compare the statistics of 1860 and 1880.
1t shows that in twenty years of Republican
rule there was a thrilling of the manufacture
ing industry of the country. The increase
was owing to the protection tariff.
If these things arc to be discovered in the
census of the country it is because of the
Republican party. To the Republican party we
must give the credit. England is marvel
ously interested in the present election.
There are two reasons for this. One is that
statistics have been spread out before Eng
land. Mr.. Mulhall has made a
confession. He says that $685.
900, 900 have accumulated in the
United States; in England 1886, 900, 900
have accumulated: in France 325, ZOO, 600

have accumulated, and Mr.. Mulhall tells the
world that there is greater aggregation, of
wealth in the United States than in all those
countries. No wonder that England is ex-
cited over this state of affairs. The reason
England wants Cleveland elected is that the
tariff will be done away with,
England is the mother and America the
daughter. The daughter is fairer and
stronger than the mother. America has
been represented as a horse passing by Eng
land on a canter. Shall we stop the canterl
What kind of horse was our government
in Buchannan's administration! The horse
was poor, uncurried, unfed, uncombed, I'M
shod and stuck fast in the
mire. Now the horse has been
fed, combed, shod and is now passing its
mother on canter. Voice in audience

pun but proceeded in landing the GO p. and
the government, and to show the second
reason why the English government
advocates Cleveland's election, he
said: "The Englishmen do not like
Blaine. He promised and if not for the as
sassination of Garfield would have carried ii
out. 1t was that planned by John Quincy
Adams that the North American govern
ment should pay more attention to the South
American republics. Mr.. Blaine has been
attacked and assaulted. l desire to defend

was twenty-four years OF age and have known
him to admire him not for his craftsmanship
alone but for his integrity in office. 1t won't
do to say that he falls behind any man in the
country. In six years in congress Mr..
Blaine had passed all his compeers and
stood at the head the acknowledged leader
OF them all.
Mr.. Dunnen spoke at length IN the de
fence of the famous Mullgan letters and
claimed that Blaine was entirely exhonor-
ated. He then said he would not attack Mr..
Cleveland, but gave the lie to his promise
by straightway charging Mr.. Cleveland OF
being an ignoramus. He said he was a man

He then spoke of the army career of John
Logan, and paid him a high tribute
as soldier. Col. Hicks, who never loses an

he did not like Thomas A. Hendricks, and in
order to show why, he took up the ''bloody
shirt and shook it for about fifteen minutes.
! Everybody expected it and the wonder was
that ii was not brought out earlier in his
speech. The bloody shirt let him out, and
when he had satisfied himself that the red
rag had been sufficiently shaken he took his
seat, and the band took up sad refrain.

stage from the center of the house to put a
flea in the chairnan's capacious
ear, what the purport was, soon
was developed. The stage manager rolled
up the curtain and there stood the colored
jubilee singers so called, and they sang

paign song was sung, and Willard, the
| trombone player contributed considerable
amusement by pretending to accompany the
chorus with his famous instrument The
jubilee singers evidently made tt hit of the
evening for they were called back repeatedly
until the Democratic portion of the house
grew weary of the monotony and withdrew
leaving score upon score OF empty seats, and
making some Of the Republicans look de-
! cidsdly lonely.
