hope IL believed my Republican fellow
citizens were not as interested as am in
the country's welfare. / impeach that
party's policy. denounce its PRINCIPLES.
IL Is their leaders who make the Capitol
den of thieves. such IA Christ drove from
the temple. The Republican leaders came
to the conclusion that the way to keep IN
power is TO use it in the most immoral
way" lApplause.l
But all the advances of freedom have
come about in this way Opportunities
are given to the brave by the stupidity OF
the coward. Freedom has built her
triumph upon the brutal mistakes of her
enemies.
THE FORCE BILL
There is in politics a higher interest than
that two and two make four" as the
Republicans counted when they consid-
cred the districts that could be stolen by
the force bill. You can't introduce force
among equals. III you address your equal
as an inferior an alteration ensues, and
out of the alteration you are punished Tor
the lack of courtesy. ;.
The speaker then laid before the audi
ence the Iniquitous purposes OF the force
bill. in which the Republicans attempted
their dastardly efforts at intimidation.
They couldn't depend on the majority
they bad" said he, but went 10 work and
turned out lot of Democrats who had
been elected.
THE DISTRICTS OUTRAGED.
"In doing this they not only stole the
seats from the congressman. but from the
districts who sent the men there. lGreat
applause c.o
Wise only that they turned him out. 1t
was not only an outrage upon this historic
and illustrious city, but upon every repre-
sentative district. and upon the principle
OF representative government, lApplause.I
They turned out six in this manner
only six. because that was all that was
necessary for their majority. No one IS
going to do any more violence than ls ab-
solutely necessary, therefore they turn ont
only six-for awhile. But they will also
turn out our friend Mr.. Nenable, and my
kinsman, Mr. Breckinridge. Six. turned
out and six turned IN gives them their ma
jority."
SOME LEADING MEASURES.
In his illusions TO the silver bill and
other measures discussed in the House and
Senate Mir. Breckenridge displayed the
most stinging wit and gave very amusing
account of how the Republicans assumed
an air of importance and pomposity.
"Ihey passed q bankruptcy law" said he,
that has no more bearing upon tins
country than it has upon kamschatka."
ITS GREATEST INIQUITIEs.
Speaking of the baseness of the force
bill and the methods contemplated there
bv the speaker said: "It has to me a
deeper atroclty than the reasons L have
given. Twenty-Five years after the war II
would return to the South the unhappy
condition that formerly existed. The
duty of the Southern people is to preserve

PROGRESS IN THIS STAFF.
The speaker then alluded to tho onward
march OF progress in Virginia. but said in
his opinion it was the same old South
lapplausel, not new one.
"But, fellow citizens" he added. the
force bill at this time OF peace means that
there "a no union between the North and
South. When Harry Tucker stood up in
tbe name of Virginia-in the name OF the
whole South in the name of equal rights

who interrupted him was your representa-,

The speaker then said that in thus plead
ing for the Democracy he did it through
no selfish motives; that his district would
never brook the force bill.
LET'S BURY THE PARTY.
Il come here" continued he, simply
to beg of YOU to see that the Democratic
party shall have the benefit OF your voice.
| do not ask 1t on the ground OF secta-
rianism. do not plead in the name OF sec
tional hate, but in the name of every lnsti-
tuition. in the name of harmonious rela-
tions between the States, in the name
of morality, | ask that the party
who passed the force bill be driven out Of
power with public Indignation, and may
God give YOU people of Richmond strength
to do it, We can do it without you, but
we want you to do it with us, Can we not
forever bury this party. not out OF per-
sonal. but patriotic Indignation! lap

Mr. Wise Speaks Briefly.
After Mr.. breckenridge had taken his
seat amid repeated rounds of applause,
the Theatre was filled with cries for Wise,
Wise. Wise" and although that gentleman
had withdrawn. he was compelled to come
forward and said
Fellow Citizens.-I did not come here to-
night TO speak. and after the very able
and eloquent address to which You have
listened, it Is not necessary for me to say
anything.
In your name-in the name of the people
of Virginia. wish to return thanks TO
This cifted son of Kentucky for his noble
defence of Democratic principles, and 10
assure him that the people OF Richmond
will return me on the 4th of November
(cries of You are right Good boy from
the audience) as an expr 'ssion OF lndleha.
tion for the outrage upon the principles OF
representative government by the FIFTY
first Congress. | want TO assure him
that when Edmund WGddill interrupted
in the House of Representatives, one OF the
scions of q noble stock OF Virginia ne od
not speak the sentiment of my people L
ginia Of this dav are worthy of their illus
trious sires. But. fellow citizens, | do not
wish to disturb the spell thrown over you
by the matchless eloquence of this gifted
son of the fairest daughter of old Virginia.
] want you TO 90 TO your couch under Its
influence. and when you arise. tomorrow
let il be with the determination IN your
hearts that Virginia will send Joy to the
hearts of the Democrats OF the Union by
a splendid victory in November.
