OF representation was no pigmy on that
occasion, towering as she did in the
ranks of the Democracy. The Demo
Gratis OF the North, men of intelligence
and true principles had given them u
cordial greeting and to-day the bonds of
Democracy were stronger than ever be-
fore. The speaker rehearsed the history
of tho Republican party ut length.
When the war ended the southern peo.
pie and the Democracy Of the country
tancied IL was over but by carpet
the Republican Senate and the work
ingS Of the infamous returning hoard
which counted Tilden the choice of the
people olt and HAYS, the imposter in as
President. He reviewed the wrongs
bag rule and other nefariOus means the
Republican party had plundered the
people and kept upa ceaseless war in
spirit, if not in fact, against the South,
which, despite the oppression
was again coming to the
front. That party had robbed the
country until the people are in dire des
peration, all over the broad Union, from
Maine to Florida. The Democrats and
extended to the South helping hand
and these locking shields together
would, by their united efforts, save the
country from wreck and ruin. To-day
the Democrats would be in power
but for treason on the part OF
done Tilden and his party. The Demo
cratic party WAS n grand old party, in
both peace and war. 1t was party that
could not be killed by war. A
party of the people, and for
the people. When in power
1t was tho party Of peace and plenty
anl honesty, one that insured II free
aud stable government. The sneaker
haudledcivil service refOrm,aS practiCed
by the Republicans, without gloves,
gave the navy II broadside and told how
the Government officials are made TO
pony up good per cent. Of their sala-
ries to furnish money to corrupt
the ballot box and keep them IN
powe. He recalled how under
Democratic rule Martin Kasta, the poor
Hungarian, who had signitiod his will
llngnGss TO become an American citizen,
had been rescued from u foreign power
aud the dungeon. He exposed fully
the tricks of Blaine and his party to
catch the Irish vote, and quoted from
the kennobec Journal of 1854 and 80,
knownothing paper edited by Blaine,
showing how he denounced the
foreigners and the Catholics. He would
not believe the Irish would permit
themselves to be guided by such man
and such party. They would he felt
assured see the snare. Blaine
had borrowed the tail of the English
lion to twist tor "A time. with the hope of
riding into the presidential chair on il.
lie paid glowing tribute to the
sisters of the Catholic church, angels of
mercy to the South when she
lay torn and bleeding ut every pore. In
Cleveland tho country had found man
who dared to tell the truth, dared to do
right. Tho record of Cleveland com
pared to that of Blaine was
rs daylight to darkness. Pay
ing fitting tribute to
Hendricks, the Democratic nominee, for
the Vice-Presidency, the speaker closed
by admOnishing every one to vote
promptly NJ every election, and to cast Il
straight Democratic vote. When nc
concluded he was vociferOusly ap-
plaudcd.
Hon, Barnett Gibbs, the Democratic
nominee for LieutGuant-G Governor, Mr.
w. G.. McKamy, Hon. j. W. Throck-
morton, addressed the meeting
but as it was late in the afternoon, and
the reporter had to catch the train for
Dallas, he did not get their speeches.
The people OF Plano entertained their
guests IN royal style, and the barbecue
was grand success.
