honest Germans" mo Irish need apply.
Judge Woodruff then came forward and
said she was born in New Jersey and a
man was not worthy the name of Jersey
man who would not stand up in a fight
like this and shed their blood in defence
of free trade and Grover Cleveland.
Three-fourths of the men who fought in
the late war were Democrats and the man
who led them to victory at Antietam,
Geo. B. Mcclellan, was democrat"
Ut was our impression that George came
up just in time to order halt of four days
duration and allow Gen. Lee to escape
into Virginia, but we may be wrong).
"The man who won the battle of Gettys-
burg, the decisive battle of the war, Gen.
Hancock, was Democrat" (The battle
of Gettysburg was rebel defeat but not
decisive by any means. Gen. Hancock
commanded the Second Corps and did
good service and we honor him for it, but
we understood at the time that Gen.
George G. Mead was in command of the
Army and to the dead hero belongs the
honors of the victory.) at was Andrew
Jackson, for whom the backwoodsmen of
Pennsylvania are still voting, who whip
ped the British at New Orleans" Now
let us open our ports and kill old John
with kindness.) Twenty-four years ago
the management of our country was
handed over to the Republican party.
What had the Democratic party done"
ct had fired on Fort Sumpter and the
Star of the West, trampled the stars and
stripes underfoot, stole the army, navy
and treasury, and split ITSELF in two.)
"What did the Republican party do"
| Ut started in business barefooted, and
without penny in pocket, it created
large army, crushed the rebellion, restored
peace throughout the land, established
credit u Unprecedented in the history of
Nations, and her flag is respected the
world over.) William Prall came for
ward. He said go te,s tie truth the
Democracy had but one issue and that
had been we'll taken care of and provided
for, we must have honest men to rid the
country of that monster surplus in the
treasury" (put not temptation before u.s.
(which the wicked Republican party has
accumulated by impositions," Gmposed
upon our mother country Great Britain.
Mr.. VIM. b. Rankin came forward and
said he twas surprised that the Democra-
cy had no principles to fight for except
the question of the election of honest men
and the reduction of the surplus. The
Democracy always had the same princi-
| pies free trade) which survived them in
darkness for the last twenty four years.
Governor Cleveland Che said) had no Null
ligan guard standing at his door, and so
sure as sun rises New jersey will poll
from 1000 to 5000 votes in favor of Gro
yer Cleveland (Oh what's the matter,
Squire; why the State is usually good for
IL, 600 to 10, 900 majority and Mr.. Van
derbilt says the party is sustained by
hundreds and thousands of boiling Re-
publicans and honest Germans. 1--WE
can do without the disaffected (the Irishl
and urge you to coax no man." The
American people George Jones, the Har-
pers, Carl Shurtz, Geo. VIM. Curtis and
Henry Ward Beecher,) ''are alive and

British gold) lean spare good many

cratic success will beam on a new era"

The programme seemed to be to frown
down the Irish and whip them in line by
brute force. At Chicago delegate, Mr..
Bragg, in reply to John Kelly, and others
who opposed Cleveland nomination said
1--WE will give the Irish dynamiters good
application of rope" Voices in the gal
lery shouted, "a little more grape, Cap
tain Bragg" and tho band struck up,
"God save the Queen" There seems to
be something queer about this campaign.
The English Journals are taking much
interest in it and are in hot opposition to
Blaine aud Logan. In Ireland, it is the
reverse--the Irish papers enthusiastically
support them, and the Irish World, of
New York, is giving the Democracy much
pain.
Governor Albeit also took the floor at
the Convention, but the day was little
too hot for him to lit very heavy ticks.
He made a pass at Republican rascality
and gave BENZ. f. Butler kick. He said
off any man favors mis-rule, protective
tariff, large surplus, &C., let him vote for
Mr.. Blaine, but not for the little fraud
who is attached to him." The Demo
cratic party dislikes any side show to &C
company their circus but, dear me, how
anxious they are to pitch tents for the
Prohibitionists.
Mr.. Hensel, of Pennsylvania, relieved
the Governor and thoroughly aired him
self. He said ''the people of Pennsylva-
MIA were against BLAINE because he was
born in their state. The people, the
workingmen, the foreigners, the property
owners and tax payers whoever they may
beg of Pennsylvania are all against Blaine,
because he is the candidate and the repre-
sentative Of tho Republican party" "a
party which has believed in home protec-
ton, home industry, genuine American
ism, great and glorious country, indie
pendence of British manufacturers and
British influence, but above all that aw-
full surplus in the U 8. treasury "The
Irish'' he said, "are against him because
