HON. J. B. BRIsBIS
After a selection by the band a fine adj
dress was made by Hon. J. B. Brisbin. He
said the present was not an occasion for
speech; it was an occasion for Joy and
jubilation, bonfires aud shouting.
All should rejoice that the people had rescued
themselves from the perils pending over
them; the period just passed was the greatest
crisis ever presented To the country; fraud
had become so entrenched that the people
had begun to despair of the Republic; they
were apprehenslve that the same party bad
been Vaccinations frauds, and
this was the reason why the news
Of the victory had been suppressed;
II was feared that the great fraud of 40 would
again be attempted; it was fearful sus-
pense, these past four days. The fate Of the
country depended on imperial New York,
Lapplausel and IT was mol until men with
bullets in their belts stood up and declared
themselves that the arch ring leaders OF
the Republican party came 10
the conclusion that the voice OF the people
could not be ppressed nor their expressed
will perverted. The speaker then alluded 10
the issues Of the war aud a high tribute was
paid 10 the valor of Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan.
The latter had been removed, he said, after
his most splendid victory, and for political
purposes only. Afterwards this same crowd
raised the cry Of rebels and traitors. A
glowing eulogy was here paid
TO Gov. Seymour and the bold
and patriotic stand taken by him was alluded
TO in an eloquent manner.
Continuing, he said that corruption had
been so rampant under Gram that the people
wanted a change. In abiding 10 Gov. Tilden
he said that history put its finger on her
mouth when the brand of '76 was spoken OF
Splendid allusion was here made To the
iilustrious character OF Tilden, whom he
called the unparalleled statesman Of Amerl-
can history.
The election of 1850 was then alluded 10
aud the speaker said that history recorded
that il had been bought. But still the peo-
pie waited patiently; the silent thought OF
the people was working out great accom-
plishment, when the qu4drennial period again
came along the people looked to Mr. Tiiden
with one accord.
Mr.. Brisoin referred TO the classical letter
Of the latter declining the nomination, and
be then alluded TO Cleveland as the man on
whom the mantle of Tilden had fallen.
Reference was then made 10 the Chicago
convention which had nominated Mr. Cleye-
land, and passing compliment was paid
Geo. VIM. Curtis. In referring TO Blaine he
said his record was blackened all over with
the abuse Of high and noted trusts. He had
been repudiated in 1876, and again in 1880;
now he had been again ruled out bv the
mighty voice of the people (applause). He
was politician and man
of considerable dash, except when he
got before Mr.. MulHgan. Iaughter.)
He had raised the shibbolelh OF projection
TO American labor. 1t captured the manu-
featuring districts Of Ohio, but the yeomanry
saw through it and in the farming districts
there had been Democratic gains. Several
characteristic and laughable anecdotes were
related, after which he said that MIR Blaine
had rejuvenated the bloody shirt, he sought
TO revive the war animosities, but thank
God the war was over and a man VINO
e,
high on the altar Of infamy. Applause
In conclusion, he said that Cleveland had
proved himself by his work; he had first full
Tiled without criticism the duties of sheriff
10 which he had been called 10 clean out the
corruption Of an unclean administration;
he had then been called to the gubernatorial
chair by u majority never equalled. His
career had justified the preference OF the peo-
Pile; he had been elected by the enemies he
made; there was manhood in him which
murder could not kill. He had received the
high mission by the will of the people and
next March his commission would be given
him, signed, sealed and delivered. Applause.
The Republican party died hard [applausel
IL was the struggle of the drowning man,
but it was over now and they must all 20
out Loud cheers. The head of majesty
must not only be cut of, but the whole mass
must be beheaded. Cheers. The con-
troversy had demonstrated that the holding
of high Office can not be abused; that dis
honesty in Office must be punished; It taught
that the highest good for the greatest num-
Der was the great rule of the republic; and
this was the maxim of the Democratic party
The band struck up lively air, and great
merriment was occasioned by the Growing of
tin rooster at intervals, manipulated by
Prof. Stein.
MAYOR o'BRIEN.
Mayor O'Brien was next introduced. lie
said it was hardly possible to put into
thoughts the glorious feelings of each Demo-
crat tonight.
What great victory had been wonl The
judiciary OF the country had been so de-
bauched that the great fraud of 20 had been
voiced by chief justice Of the country; cor
rupiion had become rampant. To night ev-
cry American patriot departed from this lie
loved TO look down with exultation and say
perchance the country had been redeemed.
The country had been redeemed by the hon
est votes of honest men who never sold their
patriotism. [Applause.l lie had no fear
that the choice OF the people would take his
seat. How despicable were the tricks OF the
politician by the side Of the great voice OF the
American people. Who dare speak OF cor
ruptiOn now; the man who did would be
apt to grace the nearest lamp post. zap
pause. He said he had 4 proud thing to
say; since last Tuesday no citizen hal been
arrested Tor an infraclion OF one of the laws.
In closing Mayor o'Brien p ID an eioquen:
