The first OF tho regular speakers that
evening was Hon. Jcrc u. Mnrphy, OF
Iowa, who said ho hoped the enthusiasm
of this meeting was earnoSl OF that with
which the Democracy Ol the Union
would next March place IN the Prcsi-
dental chair the nominee, the present
Governor OF New York. Inc principal
reason he had for his filth that the
Democratic nominee wOuAl he elected
was that the people domanSed a change
in order that they might lAve = settle
examine the cash account of the
Nation. He alluded to- the Re
publican tyranny in Iowa A enacting
prohibition laws there after having in
vited immigration To that Sttte IN the
name of liberty He thanks lGOd that
that law in his State receiIed not II
single Democratic vote. liz thought
people should eat what th1 choose,
drink what they choose and worship
God as they please. That 1is Demo-
cratic doctrine. aud that party proposed
to allow the German to drinY his beer,
the Frenchman to drink hiSJwine, the
Irishman his whisky and he Amer
lean to drink them all.
Senator Jones, of FloridSr then adj
dressed the meeting. He sud: "Nic-
tory is in the air, and we AN going to
have n change. The decreeI has gone
forth, and in November it Vii. be re
corded that the united ttic party
will place its candidate in u White
house, and we do not inteiN to be
cheated out of it," He then alNded to
what he called ''the great frandA,f 70"
great wrong at this election.'NCon-

the rights and privileges Of the people
have been usurped by a party that ha,
long ceased to be anything but n party OF
plumber. The people won the election

dent, and they were deprived of their
rights and DISTINGUISHED before the world

He severely criticised the legal opinion
of the Supreme Court and said that I'M
der the Republican, party the Govern
ment had taken charge Of the ballot
boxes in States that had provided for
supervision of elections, and had done
this as we'll as taken charge of the pros
perity of tho country. They
have done this with the de
liberate purpose OF getting more
plumber, in order that they may per-
netuate their power. Abiding to the
nomination of Blaine the speaker said
the Republican party had made a
proper and appropriate nomination

very exemplar and exponent of their
principles. He said he supposed they
had the assurance thai he will be a dead
head in the position Of President of the
United States. There was not a railroad
%speeulator in the country, not a lobbyist,
not y jobber on Wall street or a
speculation on public lands that oppose
him. Concluding, he said the issue is
whether you will have, an
honest government of honest
men, administered in a simple,
pure way, or whether you will have a
grand gift enterprise, with a C nance for
everybody to steal something.
Speeches were also made by Repre-
sentative Post, Secretary of the Demo

mite and Representative Ellis Pow

lby Glen. Rosecrans, Gen. Eppa

Malone az a second Judas lscariot.
Great enthusiasm was displayed
throughout and the asseMblage dis
