want no more extra police at ou- elections
in this city. He advised his friends who
might be disposed to vote the Democratic
ticket, Monday, TO pray over it and he felt they
wouldn't do i. He wanted telegram sent
him al Columbus, Monday night, that he
might sing with his fellow-citizens: Praise
God from whom all blessings flow
Mr.. Vim. N. Whiteley was called from the
rear of the house, but asked 10 be excused, as
he couldn't get through the crowd easily, and
Michael 0'Neil, Esq, responded in his place
and said we wanted none in Springfield now,
as we had none last iall. Mention of the
name of Blaine was cheered Justify. Mr.
O'Neil said politics, Ike charity, begins at
home, ana he hoped to see the Plug Hat
Brigade do additional effective service Two
years of Democratic rule in this city have
certainly been enough. As a defeated candi-
date he expressed determination to do all
he could tor the ticket nominated.
Captain Asa S. Bushnell was called. but
asked 10 be excused from speaking. He re-
sponded to earnest calls, however, and made
an earnest speech in behalf of the candidates
on the city ticket, and thought the large
turnout tonight an omen OF success
next Monday. We want officers in
Springfield who will execute the laws
and ordinances faithfully and fesrl ssly,
without partisan bias and such an adminis,ra-
ton we shall have in the election OF the
Republican candidates. This election will
help us to victory in October, which settles
the choice of L. S Senator.

mocracy. Il the Democrats got fifty colcred
votes next Monday it would be more than he
thought they would. He urged united action
and hard work, which would insure the sue
cess OF the Republican ticket.
Gen. Keife-, on taking the stand, was met
by a tremeu deus burst of applause He re-
garied this meeting as indication OF unusual
interest for a municipal election, which is the
most important in some respects, as i, is the
basis and starting point of all political affairs
and movements. Our party ought to be one
to make us better in our homes, giving us
greater security and happin ss In these
things the Republican party hrs distinguished
itself from the Democratic. The application
was made 10 local affairs in this
city. To thoughtful man it will suggest
itself to support the candidates OF such
party locally. We are in a transition state
politically, and ale TO be governed by the
general Drift of affairs; not by isolated cases.
The fact distinguishes the times that men are
coming out aud cou'essing crimes and then
defending them in The public prints. This is
on the principle that men may justify any
thing that helps TO the success OF the Demo
cratic party. Who would ever have dreawei
twenty years ago the Patent Office won
ever be drapei in mourning for one who,
across the border in Canada, attempted de-
s,ruction and ruin IN this? But we will try
20 be just aud hope that time will right this
as other things.
