DESMOUR AND BLAIR
Another Dietiasolabed onwert—Gen.
A. hanndent Platt. of Ohio, Desert%
the Itaellealt*He Joint the Democra
cy and titres bhi Demons.
That gallant patriot of Ohio, General
A. Saunders Piatt, has come out for
Seymour and Blair. On Thursday
evening, 13th ult., his Democratic
neighbors of West Liberty, headed by
a brass baud, tendered him a serenade,
and In response he made au able, patri
otic and eloquent speech, Boni which
we make the 'following extracts :
I need not tell you how deeply I ap
preciate this complimentary demon
stration. I feel it the more from the
fact that it gives me an opportunity to
say a few things I wish to say publicly.
No one knows better than I the
strength of party association. Next to
patriotism to one's country comes loy
alty to one's party, and the ties bind
ing this last cannot be severed without
attaching a certain amount- of blame
to the individual who secedes. One is
anxious, therefore, to give his reasons
for such severance, and to Justify him
self, If possible, for the.course he has
taken.
In a few words, then, let messy that
I am disloyal to the Republican organ
izat ion because I Beek to be patriotic- to
my Government. - [Applduse ] Thider
stand me, I attach no blame whatever
to my late political associates. I be
lieve the great mass to be honest,
earnest and patriotic, and that patriot.
ism they have asserted by their blood
upon all the battlefields, and their
lives in all the hospitals, of the late
war. But It does not follow, on that
account, that as a. party, heated by
partisan zeal, they are not as danger
ous to the Republic as the men them
selves they went out to fight.
I lett my motherless children and
my individual friends, and went to
the field when South Carolina and her
erring sisters had thrown down the
glove and etood armed to the teeth to
battle for the wrong. [Long and loud
applause.] I did then what I should
do again—and in my last hour, yea, in
my dying moments, I believe, I feel
that I shall find consolation in the
remembrance that in the deadly hour
of my country's peril I stood In the
smoke of battle, where deadly missiles
carried desolation to 'navy houssliulds,
and fought for our flag and our Gov
ernment. [Renewed and long-contin.
ued applamie ]
We were victorious, and flushed
with victory we now swing over to the
other extreme. This is human na
ture, and heated by partisan zeal and
led by faction we hasten to do on the
other extreme as great an evil as that
proposed by the secessionists. The Re
publican party is wiping out State
rights and centralizing unconstitu
tionally all- power at Washington .
This is as fatal to the Murry of the
citizen as was that other fatal to our
independence. I left the Democratic
party and took up arms against an
archy and disorder. I now leave the
Republican party and take up arms
agginst them. [Applause.]
The General then paid especial at
tention to the Reconstruction, Bond
and Taxation questions, and thus con
cluded:
Again I thank you for this compli
m.nt. lam glad to be with you once
more. I return after a separation of
nine years, to the associates of my
youth, and I breathe freer in the pure
atmosphere of the old Democracy.—
Let us be slow to forget all that is good
in the past, and quick to learn all that
is true in the future.. As a party of
progress—a party of intelligence—the
party of the people—time representative
of labor—l am with you. My vloce
may be weak, but please God I propose
that my words ahail be strong. And
for your kind welcome I return tuy
heartfelt thanks. [Great applause.]

Speech of Capt. AI. R. Butte, Delivered
at the Court House, in Quincy,
Illinois, August 6th, 1888.
FELLOW CITIZENS thank you for
the privilege of addressing you on this
occasion. Standing here to-night, as
a representative of that portion of the
late great volunteer army of the Union
which cannot and will not support
Gen. Grant for the Presidency, shall
endeavor to speak plainly and to the
point, and to the eud that I may not
be misunderstood or misrepresent e d,
I ask your careful attention, promis
ing to ue as brief as the circumstances
of the case will admit.
As a Republican and a soldier during
the war of rebellion, I heartily concur
red In and endorsed ail the acts of the
government which looked to the crush
ing out of treason and the supremacy
of the constitution and the lawa. As
citizens of our commonwealth, la
whose proem* , you and I are alike
Interested, we may have differed,
many
„of us, and di ff ered honestly, in
regard - to those matters, lint that Is no
reason why we should disagree to-day
—whyote should not units our efforts
to secure the election of men to office
who will admit:later the government
in seoordance with our own ideas of
right and Justice. This last we should
most certainly endeavor to do, mu ays
having and always being prepared to
give a reason for the "faith that is in
us.','
The Radical Republican party has
chosen as its most araibitde leader, (I
say available, because this Is the only
true reason for Grant's nomination,)
in the great political battle to tat fought
at the ballot box next November,
General Grant.
The Democratic party has placed at
Its head and Accepts as Its leader and
standard hearer, In this conflict, the
excellent and exalted statesman, Bora.
tlo Seymour. Between these two e
precentative men we are to decide,
each for himself, which one we Neill
follow, and in making this decision
we should act calmly and cautiously,
exercising our better judgments to the
exclusion, so far as in us lies, of all
passion and prejudice, lest we be led
estray and forget the Light trust com
mitted to us. For my part, after a
careful Investigation of the merits of
the respective candid.ites, and the
declaration of principles On which
each has placed hitnself, I havechoseu
to enlist under the banner of Seymour.
PiPEETII OF Llt. PENDLETON
The following is a portion of the
great speech recently delivered , at
Portland, Maine, by Hon. George H.
Pendleton, of Ohio:
WHAT LIAS TILE REPUBLICAN I'AR 4 LY
Do NE ?
The Republican party, my fellow
citizens, has had for nearly eight years
the possession of absolute power in
this (lovernment. It has had possess-
pion of the Fedora' Government,
every department of the legislative.,
the executive and judicial, It has
had possession of most of the State
governments froth Maine to Califor
nia. It has been able to execute Its
Quire will. If the President of the
United States interposed his veto, that
party has beau able to override his
veto and to pass its measures. If the
Supreme Court was thought to be Wl
tavorahle to any of its laws, that party
has Leen able to prevent the delivery
of its decisions. It has hail absolute
power. It has held within the hollow
of its band all the powers of all the
departments, both of the Federal and
of the State systems. My iellow eltl
zens, Republieatis and Democrats, If
any Republican does me the honor to
Isten to me to-night, I ask you, In all
candor, lies the Republican .party liv
ed up to Its opportunities for usetul
, noss ? (Voices, '-'Ni,, no, never.") In
1,965 the war which hail raged thr
four years was brought to a conclusion
by complete success. Lee surrender
ed to Grunt, Johnson surrendered to
Sherman ; the last confederate force
surrendered ; the hist armed tuna laid
down his arms, and the last arm was
given up. We were told that when
this tune about we should have union
and peace. General Sherman, when
he mitered into his capittiltedon. with
Johnson, by the terms of the pacifica
tion sought to establish union arid
peace. He said to his enemies, you
have given up your pause; you have
laid down your arse; you have sur
rendered your organization, you have
surrendered your legions to the Feder
al Government. Go home to your
States and be good citizens. That
would have secured union; that
would' have secured peace; that would
have secured the rights and dignities
of the States; that would have secur
ed and maintained the powers of the
Federal Government. But the Freed
.dent and the Republican party refus
ed to accede to these terms of pacifica
tion. They had another scheme for
restoring the Union. They said to
the Southern States, adopt the consti
tutional amendment prohibiting sla
very iu the States; repudiate the Con
federate debt, and then you shall be
admitted Into the full participation of
all your original rights under the
Constitution and under the Union.
The South acted upon that advice.
They adopted• that amendment—they
repudiated the Confederate deht—they
acknowledged the binding obligation
of the Federal debt. But when Con
gress smite 1885, arid the time mime
for admitting them into the Union,
then it was iound the President had
not the power, for he and Vongress
had quarreled. So Congress had its
plan for reconstructing the Union,
and that plan consisted in the adop
tion of the thirteenth constitutional
amendment, and they promised upon
its adoption that tile Union should be
restored and those States admitted to
their rights. But a few months had
passed away and Congress met again.
It was found that it plan could not
be carried out, for the Radicals then
had obtained possession of the powers
of Congress. Thereupon the Rad
icals found out that the terms which
had been suggested by their predeces
sors were not proper terma upon
which to restore the Union, and atter
six months' trial, they invented the
reconstruction acts. Aud then Con
gress met in extra session in :effendi,
again in July, and again in Novem
ber, and at each meeting they added
to the original severe terms of the re
construction acts, and since then six
months more have elapsed and a e
find ourselves to-day after four years'
of war, after three years of peace, on 1
the very eve of a Presidential election,
face to trice with Whew passed by Con
gress within one week of its adjourn
ment, admitting seven States into the
Union, into their lights of representa
tion in Congress with the right to vote
for President and Vice-President with
coustftutions ulna) they abhor and
institutions which they detest—(A
voice "Good ; that's so,")—with con
stitutions put upon them not by the
will of their own people, but by the
will of Congress, backed by the pow
er of the armies of the United States.
=1
But, my fellow-citizens, if this
whole policy of Congress did not in
volve, as I believe it does, the per
petuity of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States and the liberty of the peo
ple still it is tocroostiv an experiment.
the Republican party cannot, you
cannot afford it. You might lose your
liberty, for human endurance knows
no limit—but you cannot buy more
than you can pay for, and you cannot
pay more than the extortions of the
tax-gatherer can squeeze out of a suf
fering people. (Cheers.) Fieedmen's
Bureaus—(laughte , )—military coin
missions, military governments, the
support of ten State governments, con
stitutional amendments, negro suffrage
and carpet-baggers are pretty expen
sive luxuries. (Applause and laugh
ter.) And when they bring with
them idle hands, short crops, no home
markets for our Western products,
and no articles for Eastern ships to
carry to other nations, they are more
expensive still; and when you super
add to these things high tariffs and
high taxes, au uncertain supply of
work, a high price for all the necessa
ries of life, a low price for labor, and
an increase in the hours of labor, then
these luxuries come to be ad expensive
they are altogether Intolerable. The
amount of money collected from the
people of the United States for the ex
penditures of the Federal Government
alone for three years of-peace, from
the Ist day of July, 1865, three years
of peace, not otAnsurrection, not - of
mob violence, not of revolt requiring

of all this money? If you will Irk
at the report of the Treasury of the
date the 31st day of July, 1843, you
will lind the public debt amounted to
$2,757h00,000. If you wit s l look at the
report made by the came Secretary on
the first day of this present month,
only twenty-two days earn, you will
tied it amounts to $2,633,000,000. lie
hail the extreme goodness with $l,-
194,000,000 to pay :7421 000,900 of the
public debt. The whole amount of
property in the country of every ki pd
and description, rands, houses, farms,
town lots, moneys, bonds, stocks,
mortgages, ships, railroads, farming
utensils, horses, cattle---everything
that is capable of ownership, the
whole amount of it lu 1860 was $14,-
000,000,000. We have had four years
of war with all Its waste; we have
bad three years of petit* with their
recuperative energies; If these three
years of ',ewe have restored the waste
or touryears of war, then we have to
day $14000,000,N10. But, gentfkmen,
If you will compare the amount of
property that we have and the expen
diture of these three years of peace,"
you will had that it took of the pro
perty of the United States to stistaili
the Government these three years,
one-tenth of ail the property of the
Country. ICheere.l The expenditure
made by Englund in that (line was on
ly one-thirtieth part of her property.
The expenditure of France in the
same time one-fortieth part of its pro
perty. If you should divide among
the people of the United States head
by head, this amount of expenditures,
giving its equal proportion to every
mutt, woman and child, the sick mid
the well, the rich end poor, the child
in its cradle, the old man Just totter
ing to the grave, it would amount to
$342'1 a heed. The expenditures of
Prance in that same time amount to
$22 u bead. The expenditures of A UN
trio only $lO. If you should take the
public debt of the United States and
distribute it among the people of the
felted States in tile same manner, it
would amount to $74.35. The public
debt of France, if distributed among
her population, would amount to Ala
and that 01 Prussia to only

Republican party Is eturtled when
these figures are presented to it.
Gentlemen, I do not wonder at it; I
Lever knew in my life a spendthtift;
when he wee brought face to face with
his own extravagance, who was not
abutted. (Cries of "good" and laugh
ter.) In answer to this, Republicans
will tell you that n great portion of
this expenditure was for the back pay
of the army. A gentleman said the
other night to me after I had closed
my remark., in which I hail made a
seniors stMeinent, that inore• -than
$700,000,000 was expended in thot way.
What! the army was disbanded in
:%1 ay. I have commenced my (minim
inlion J lily. Seven hundred mil
hen. were not collected ter a year mid
a half. Will tiny man pretend that
the lock pay of the army was not
made up until a year and a half after
the army wail disbanded. (Applause.)
The Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, in a letter which I'have aeon,
published since I Luvo been In Arline,
states that the public debt has been
reduced $210,000,000, and this ought to
bring about a saving to the country of
about $11,000,000 in Mild. Why, gee-
Semen, If you will examine you will
find the reduction of the publle debt
has been Only i1i3,000,(50, as I have
already told you, and the residue is
made up of money which he estimates
ought to be in the Treasury, but
which is there, not for the purpose ut
paying the public debt alone, but for
the purpose of defraying the ordinary
and current expenses of the Govern
ment. He tells us the estimated sur
plus on the last day of July was $34,-
000,000. This Is a very comfortable
thing, but I would like to knew where
the money is. It has not been paid
on account of the public debt, it is not
in the Treasury—that the Secretary
tells you. I will tell you what has be
come of it. They made appropria
tions in the early part of last year
which they knew would not be suffi
cient to carry them througG the
whole year and after Oiling the bene
fit -of this before the people, they
make it up by deficieney bills. If
you look narrowly into these deficien
cy bills you will find that $27,000,000
were appropriated in that way. The
conclusion of the whole matter is this,
that the people of the United States
0we.52,600,000,000 on account, of their
public debt, and that there are collec
ted front the people day by day us the
year mils around, the annual aunt of
more than kaki,ooo,ooo.
Welt now, gentlemen, put In con
trast with these enormous figures,
this fact that James Buchanan In four
years of his administration expended
$258,000,000, and that James K. Yolk
during the whole of the Mexican
war, expended only $110,000,000.
I=
Let are go a step further, my friends.
I told you the public debt of the Uni
ted States, whieli sits so heavily to
day upon the shoulders of the labor
er, amounted to inn re than $2,600,000,-
000; of .that amount, more than $1,500,-
000,000 are of five-twenty bonds.
These bonds are payable in twenty
years, but stay be redeemed In five.
They bear six per cent. Interest In
gold. They are exempt from State and
municipal taxation. The man who
Otir'lll3 them in the city of Portland pays
nothing upon them for your police, for
your gas-light, for maintenance of your
streets, for the proteetion of your hous
es against thieves; but If he is robbed
of them, lie applies to your sheriff,
to your pollee, to your Judges and your
courts, and asks them to p teet him
in the right of property which does
not pay one cent to the support of his
rights. (Applause.) These bonds are
exempt from all taxation except Fed
eral taxation. I say these bonds ars
payable in legal-tender notes. (Great
applause ) There was not a single one
of these bonds Issued before the legal
tender act was passed. That law pro
vided for the issue of these notes, that
upon every one of these notes shall be
lanted the following : this note is a
egal tender for all debts, public and
irivate, except duties on imports, and
nterest on the publicAebt; not prin
cipal,
INTF:IIEST. Why, gentlemen, a
year ago, when this doctrine was first
promulgated, there was enough oppo
sition to make an argument necessary.
There is not so much now. The law
which regulates the contract says that
these bonds shall be paid In legal -ten•
den.. The contract says so; the bonds
-ay so; Thaddeus Stevens said so;
Senator Sherman, Republican riathor
ity in Ohio, says so; Senator Morton,
Republican authority in Indiana, says
so; the funding bill goes upon that
principle; the Democratic Conten
tions of Oh.o, Indiana, Illinois, Ken
tucky, Wisconsin, California and Or
egon, lowa, Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Minnesota and Michigan, silly so; the
Democratic Convention of Maine says
so; the great Convention of our party
at New York, says so. (Applause.)
Gentlemen, I do not know how It is
among your Republicans id Maine,
but I can tell you that out lathe West,
and particularly in Indiana and Ohio,
the people—not the Republican lead
ers—are so anxious to get on that they
almost Jostle me off my own-platform.
(Applause and laughter.)
I=
Somebody tells me that this is repu
diation. Repudiation, my fellow-eft
izens ! When that legal-tender set was
passed In Congress, every man that
had a $l,OOO stele payable in gold was
obliged to take legal tenders for it.
Every man who let a house for five
hundred dollars a year payable in gold
was obliged to take this depreciated
currency. Every man who had hired
himself at a yearly salary,. payable In
gold, was obliged to take greenbacks.
Many State debts, contract ed before
this act wail passed, the Interest of
which was payable hi gold, became
payable In legal tenders; and It the
pr os tAial became doe, that abet:was
eto legal tender* Oteie beside,
City bands, 'Railroad bonda, in tact
every bond made before this net wee
passed, though payable In gold, be
came payable by this law in legal ten
ders, Every Democrat In the Roues
voted against that law, and every Re
publican voted for It. And now, after
to mea hitve compelled the people
legal-to meat of thelrAebta thews
and any we tbs,they turn round
e repudiator.! If
three legal tenTert-- moo d t omegh to
pay the laborer, they are good enough
to pay the bond holder, ((irem and
I 'nested cheering.) In whonc mouth
does it Ile to call this putt proposition
repudiation? I am not an enemy of
Dia bond holder. I would five up to
the very letter*of the contreet or the
United States, whether It wee coy or
hard. Where I had promised to pay
In gold f would pay In gold, to the ut
most farthing; where Iprotulsed to pay
paper I would pay peperand not gold.
(Applause). The questionpresented
to the people of the United States to
day is not whether they will do injus
tice to the bond holder in paying him
whet they have promised, but wheth
er they will rob the people to pay In at
what they have not promised.

There to In the Treasury s.'tkio,oott,ool --

these nation-al winks worn established.
Two or three gentlemen get together
and raise two or three hundred [Mato

they buy bonds. They take them to
Washington and say to the Sectetary
of - the Treasury, "My dear air, it yon
will take cure of-these bonds and clip

much obliged to you." Thu Secretary
receives them and then they say,
"Now, sir,. If you will Just give UK
ninety per vent. of them In national
Lank paper you -will oblige us still
more.' they come home perhaps to
Portland, I know they do to (•ineins
and when a men wants to borrow
some of this money, they let him have
It at six, or eight, or tlfteeit, or twen

IN 'V EATIG ATING COMMITTEE&
These investigating committees are
an institution of the-Radical party.
In Democratic times they were un
known. They are never gotten up for
any better purpose than to smother
Investigation, instead of honestly
making it, or to put money unlawfully
into the pockets' of the member*. The
system commenced in the Radical
Congress at Washington, and during
the summer af 18q7, there were Inv or
eight of them travelingabout the coon. ,
try at tile public expense. It was not
long until-their brethren In the Penn
sylvania and New York legislatures
imitated them. In Penney Weenie they
became an intolearble nuisance, anti
the Hon. Charles B. Boyle, in order
to abate it, introduced it provision in
a section of the appropriation bill of
1887, forbidding the payment of any
members for services on committees
when the Legialaturewaa not in ses
sion. But this 'law was deliberately
violated,atidseven of these committees
were paid by the State Treasurer ou
thetwder of the Auditor General. We
