St. Paul, Nov. S. 1854.
They were adopted unanimously.
HON. J. B. BRIsBIS.
After selection By the band a fine ad-
dress was made by Hon. J. B. Brisbin. He
said the present was not an occasion for
speech; it was an occasion for joy aud
iubilation, bonhres and shouting.
All should rejoice that the people had rescued
themselves from the peri.s 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 apprehensive that the same party bad
been machinatiou frauds, and
this was the reason why the news
Of the victory had been suppressed;
1t was feared that the great fraud Of 'T6 would
again be attem pied: IL was fearful sus-
pense, these past four days. The fate Of the
country depended on imperial New York,
Iapplausel and 1t was not 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 suppressed nor their expressed
wall perverted. The speaker then alluded 10
the issues Of the war and high tribute was
paid 10 the vslor 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, be said that corruption had
been so rampant under Grant that the people
wanted 4 change. In abiding 10 Gov. TIlden
be said that history put it's finger on her
mouth when the brand Of 80 was spoken of.
Splendid alluslon was here made 10 the
ilustrious character OF Tilden, whom he
called the unparalleled statesman Of Ameri-
can history.
The election Of 1880 was then alluded to
and the speaker said that history recorded
that It had been bought. But still the peo-
pie waited patiently: the silent thought OF
the people was working out great accom-
plishment, when the quadre NAL period again
came along the people looked to Mr.. Tilden
with one accord.
Mr.. Brisbin referred to the classical letter
Of the latter declining the nomin alton, and
be then alluded 20 Cleveland as the man on
whom the mantle Of TIlden had fallen
Reference was then made TO the Chicago
convention which had nomina ted Mr.. CIeYe-
land, and passing compliment was paid
Geo. WIN. 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 1850;
now he had been again ruled out by the
mighty voice Of the people (Applauss). He
was politician and man
Of considerable dash, except when he
| got before Mr.. Mulligan. naughter.)
He had raised the shibboleth of protection
10 American labor. II 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 lsughable anecdotes were
related, after which he said that Mr. Blaine
had rejuvensted the bloody shirt, he sought
TO revive the war animosities, but thank
God the war was over and man who
sought to raise such issues should be pilloried
high on the altar Of infamY. Applause.
In conclusion, he said that Cleveland had
I'D r.1F ~
filed without criticism the duties of sheriff
10 which he had been called TO clean out the
corruption of an unclean administration; ;
he had then been called to the gubernatorial
chair by majority never equalled. His
career had justified the preference OF the peo-
| pie; be bad been elected by the enemies he
made; there was a manhood In him which
murder could not kill. He had received the
high mission by the viii Of the people and
next March his commission would be given
hin, signed, sealed and delivered. Applause
The Republican party died hard lapplzusel (:
il was the struggle of the drowning man,
but IL 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; 1t 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 afr, and great
merriment was occssioned by the Growing OF
tin rooster at intervals, manipulated by
Prof. Stein.
MAJOR o'BRIES.
Mayor o'Brien was next introduced. He
said it was hardly possible 70 put into
thoughts the glorious feelings Of each Demo-
erat tonight.
What great victory had been won The
judiciary OF the country had been so de-
bauehed that the great fraud of 30 had been
voiced by q chief justice Of the country; cor
rupiion had become rampant. Tonight ey-
cry American patriot departed from this life
loved 10 look down with exultalion and say
perehance the country had been redeemed.
The country had been redeemed by the hon
est votes OF honest men who never sold their
patriotism. lApplause.l He had no fear
| that the ehoice Of the people would take his
seat How despicable were the tricks OF the
| politician by the side OF the great voice OF tho
American people. Who dare speak OF cor
ruptiou now; the man who did would be
| apt 10 grace the nearest lamp post ZAP
plause. He said he had proud thing 10
say; since last Tuesday no citizen had been
arrested for an infraction OF one Of the laws.
In closing Mayor O'Brien paid an eloquent
eulogy to Mr.. Cleveland as the next presi-
dent
