vice. We were not able to follow Gapt b.
closely through his entire speech. bnt :ils
was his first appearance on the stamp since
his nomination We Yill endeayor to give brief
synopsis of his views. He started out by say
ing that he was gifted speaker, and would
not undertake to entertain his audience by
humorous remarks,- but--by-- giNingiheln a
plain talk. His first topic was the reconstruc-
ton record of the Republican party. He said
that the record Of the party during those days
with our liberties, and cited, during half hour
or more, illustrations to show that the party
lin power had been tyranical and unjust and
had for its object, not the welfare of the peo-
pie. but the perpetuation of it's own power. He
went on to Illustrate this by declaring that
Tilden was. elected President OF the United
States but that acorn mission OLA 1ess number
of men than you could count on the fingers of
both hands, had decided in favor of the de-
feated candidate, and that it had beenqperfyF
declared on the streets Of StuunrUn By SIeaAih g
Republicans, when conf letting reports of the
election were coming in. that even if Cleye-
were elected, he would not be perai tied to taSe
his seat, and that the people owe It to tfedem-
pcratic party that this state of things had been
broken up. He said that he had no objection
