Gov. HubbaTd's reference TO the |
crime of 1876 was the most eloquent |
ever rendered in Springfield. He held |
his auditors as though chained |
to the ground. HIS oratory is
of tile magnetic order, and the
reporter will be pardoned by
all who listened to the magnificent
words Of the speaker for failure to
transmit the words to paper In fact,
his entire speech was of the same or
| der. His powerful voice and
commanding presence, well
rounded periods, gliding meta
phor and interesting and appropriate
anecdotes riveted the attention Of
| everybody so closely that all was for
! gotten save the words Of the speaker
| The reporter does not claim to have
made a faithful report. His scathing
denuuciation of the 1876 robbers was
| such as to evoke, many times, long
continued applause. Gov. Hubbard
continued:

Referring TO the MeSweeney case,
Gov. Hubbard said that within six
days after Blaine stepped out aud Fire.
linghuysen stepped into the state de-
partment, McSweeney WAS free. FIRE.
lipghuysen didn't wait for the mail.
He sent his orders by lightning, and
Insolvency. was freed from his dun
geon. And yet Republicans claim the
Irish are going to vote for Blaine, be-
cause he will protect them in their
rights. Bosh! He never protected
them.
He referred TO Butler as trimming
for president for fun and quoted the
latter's statement that four million
lsboring men-presumably in the
South--were vassals, like convict la
borers, and with one eye cooked to
heaven and the other looking down
below laughter and applausel say
IL in ali reverence-this solitary bit
tern boots that if necessary the time
may come when he would lead an army
to the Southland again. With this as
his text Mr.. Hubbard referred to
the work done in the South and
. particularly in Texas, for the cOlored
people. To the Republican statement
) that the South
EXPESTED ITS SOLDIERS PENsIoNED,
he said the people down there were
not tinfernal insane, demented FOOLS y
They didn't expect any such thing.
, He facetiOusly mentioned the Vicks-
T burg campaign and said he was
"pretty sure" he had heard of Gen.
