Democratic MnmOr.
The National Democracy had two or
three days of grand ratification at BAL
timore last week, with representatives
from nearly all the States. Several of
the speakers said good things worth
repetition. Among 'hu~r wMu spoke
was Governor Fitzhugh lee Of Vir-
ginia. He said:
Away down In old Virginia, where
1 live, there ia u railroad station called
Brandy Station. An old man down
there, who had been drinking too
much, was going along one day, and
when tho conductor called out "Brandy
Station" the old fellow said "Ssy
that again." "Brandy Station" an
swered the conductor. "Well, take
my trunk off right here" replied the
old man. When my friends asked me
10 come here l recognized the true,
strong, free Democracy, and said I'd
take my trunk off here. think the
old gentleman was talking OF was a
Republican, for II there's any place
where whisky is FREQ 1t is at Brandy
Station.
l have been asked why l., an officer
of the army of the United States, edu-
Gated at her school, should in 1861
have been found in the ranks of those
opposing what was called tho Union
side. 1t may have been a mistake In
our iorefathers, but there were those
who did not construe the laws to pro-
hibit a State from withdrawing from
the Union. Not being able to agree,
the question was settled by the sword,
and 1t has been decided and we accept
the decision, so there is no such per
picking question before the young men
Of to-day. But tho question, is, in the
words of II Georgia senator, TO make
this country the glory Of our fathers
and blessing to humanity.
Some years ago John Sherman came
down in Virginia while / was running
for Governor and accused mo Of riding
a rebel-s,ained saddle. He was the
guest OF VIM. Malone. How about
his rebei.stained saddle? Because he
voted the Republican ticket Mr.. Sher-
man thought that all of the stains had
been wiped out. The saddle OF Gen.
eral Robert Lee was ridden by man
who thought that he was fighting for
what he thought was right. II l had
lived In New Jersey or New York |
should have been found fighting to
keep the South in the Union. Two
babies were born near each other in
Kentucky. One was Abraham Lincoln
and one was Jefferson Davis Both
possessed strong minds, and no doub,
IL brought up in different sections than
they were, Abraham Lincoln might
have been Jefferson Davis and Jefler-
son Davis Abraham Lincoln. At least
that is the friendly was OF looking at 1t.
| Colonel John II. Fellows OF New
York said:
We will not grope among the dying
embers Of past hate. We leave that To
Mr.. Ingalls, of Kansas, and that crea-
ture Of Ohio who struts and swells,
poses and vaunts himself as an entire
| continent, instead of the miserable lii
tie four acre (Foraker} concern that he
is. Applause and laughter. We
have no ambition to make of ourselves
political hyenaS cropping over the grave
yards and raking up the bones Of dead
issues we will not again fight ovc'
the battles OF 1861 we will not discuss
| the laws and principles OF the doctrine
+ of hcrediiy. II the Repulicnns think
they can win by Il parade of anccstra
lineage they are welcome, but they
should recoiicct that while they hans
on the limb where the grandfatheI
once set the Democrats will employ
themselves in cutting away the branct
where the grandson now sits. A grand
fathers fame like grandfather
clock may stop, never to go again. W.
! remand the solution of these in'crcs,in!
problems to our Republican friends
We have something loftier to accom-
plish. What is the issue before us
What is the issue? Our governmcn
is well conducted, and we arc at peac
with all the world except Ingalls, am
