senior Senator from New York, challenges
our wonder. The bones of greatness were
dragged from the tombs of patriotic history.
The argument for the right Of Republican
ism to rule this people comprised
few correct plstitudes upon finance; an al
lusion to the danger of interference with
the traffic; q playful suggestion that his
partisan friends were not all excluded from
office on account of defect in civil service
rules as to iail birds, and trenchant sp-
peal to his party not to desert Its principles
because the wagon train and eommisssrist
bad been plundered by the Democracy.
forgetting that the nation had sounded
for taps" for the orgies Of Dorsey republi-
canism, and that an indignant people had
demanded Of the Grand Old Party the robes
of Office and keys of the treasury full to
oyerhowipg; forgetting that the memories
of battles fought for unions of hands
and hearts, of holy sacrifice OF
blood inf the cause of humanity
had been by supreme de.
cree forever lifted from the controversies of
partisans to be vererated by mankind; for.
getting that the great war chiettlan had
laid his fame upon the heart OF united
people to feel its throb when msusoleums
crumble. The thought Of 1876, of patriotic,
but shameful surrender of the Presidency
for the place of the people could not again
be endured By free people. The terrible
energy of purpose warned the conspirators
Of fraud to desist, and in the course OF
months President of tke model of JeHer-
son and Jackson was elected and inaugur-
sted in the person Of Grover Cleveland.
The speaker then concluded amid an enthu'
sisstic burst Of applause.
Representatives of the Anti monopoly
League and the State Trades Assembly

lutions are similar to those adopted by Tam
many Hall some weeks ago.
