OF ME.. BUCKALEVy. r Felipio Citizens of Lancaster County; i appear before a Lancaster county an-| ■ dienfio for the first time'. Although Ii have known many, of your, people ma- 1 ny years, it .has never happened that Ij ■tvas 1 with ydu In your popular assem- 1 biages In any of the great election con- j .tests through which we havb passed In i the last twenty-five years. ■ But I am; here to-night,to salute, yon ail, I hope, i as friends, and I hope, also, as fellow ■ co-workers with me in an enterprise in Which we are jointly Interested. It is not one peculiar to the speaker who now addresses you. It is one that goes home to each and,all of you. The question is: “ Can vye in peaceful times, undisturbed by the clangor of war or any disturbing force from abroad, can we secure to ourselves in this country just, honest and successful governments in pur States, and In the government of the Federal Union ? Gentlemen: I might say many pieaa ;ant things concerning your county as introductory to my remarks to-night. I might speak of its early as well as of its recent history. I might go back to the time When Benjamin franklin ap pealed to the iarmera of Lancaster county for transportation and supplies for the ill-fated expedition of Braddock jnto the wilderness, and when his ap peal was promptly met. I might go on and point to successive periods qf your history, when your county exhibited her patriotism, energy and. devotion to the country in times of emergency andperil.- I might dilate also upon the peculiarities of character in your popu lation, as settlements were originally made and as society grew up and in creased in magnitude, with a corres-' ponding swollen volume of various in terests, and an accompanying prosperity such ns is vouchsafed to few sections of our own Commonwealth or ,of other States. But, gentlemen, X shall not dwell upon, these, points, however pleasant it might bC fop us iq pass some time speaking of them and listening, to them. 11 Although my mother.was of Irish descent, I never lwd my i dngiie upon the blarney stone, and therefore you will excuse me, [Laughter.]; t ' AN ELECTION CRY. I pass on to matters ihat may bo if not more interesting , and, plepssnt at least uSpreisuitable to tbejocoasion./ In.' a work written, bjtp’Jsftieli, thp young, eiy a work of imagination, he depicts the trouble and! difficulty of a- pair of English politioiahs l about W generation ago; ; and early, inthe reign of. hen pres ent majesty the Queen of Great They were named Tiaper and, jacipole, and their, difficulty was to obtain an election cry. Now, it would seem as important that ap,election should have a ; cry as that, a sermon should have. a text or a newspaper a motto. Weil, Mr, D’lsraeli’s politicians, after racking tl)dir l itfgdnulty, finally settled'Upon' their, election cry, which'.was :this: “!Our young Queen and our ol(I insti tutions.” There was. a. pleasant collo cation of language, vogue and general in signification, suited to the necessities of the political situation. Xu this elec tion campaign there was no difficulty in sotting upon a cry for Democrats and reformers in this State. It was a plain matter. The language lay before them They could not miss it; Therefore tho cry was raised early; it continues to this evening, and it will be reiterated hereafter. Their election cry is: “Down with Bings |” . [Applause.] “ Down with the Bings I’’ [Great applause.] ■ THE IIErOKMKII’S CRY. . But wfiat does this tneah 1 Why. It canies upon its fiice words aignifleant to every Intelligent citizen of tho Com monwealth. It means that Govern ment has gone wrong. It means Unit men in public stations have consulted their own interests instead of those of the public. It means that there is odi um, suspicion, and soine measure of disgrace in public affairs in this State, and connected with those who have been entrusted by the people with the exercise of their sovorign power. Our cry-was really made for us by our op ponents. They brought into existence the wrongs out of which this common watchword arose, and I trust that so effectual and complete will be the de cision of 6ur people this year that a repetition of this cry, a(\ least in our Slate, Will never'heretiftef be' required. [Applause,]. That the lessen now to be ad ministered.' by' the people, will not only bo wholesome 1 , iu character, but raj so so enduring in its consequences,,that public men hereafter will not transgress —will not render such public action us we now have necessary and proper; to vindicate Republican institutions from reproach-[Renewed applause.] ; ' THE ItX.NG CRY. i - But our Opponents Have been trdub blecl for an,election cry, and they-have gone without one for three sorry, weary months, from early in April until a very recent date. ’ They know not What to say in spine brief sentence in which to sura up their Side of the issues of the campaign, .

SUPPORT OF APPROPRIATION!}. So much for declarations or statements ipf position'. Now I come to the senato rial record of 1801., On the 15th of Feb ruary a- deficiency bill - was 'pending in the senate relating to the civil service.— The military committee of the senate re ported an amendment appropriating cer tain moneys for, the war department to cover ideflcienolea; for 'the, current deal year,' which ended the 30th of June, 1864. The 'items of, appropriation In this amendment amounted'to $97,504,040, and 1 have them hero. In the same bill was contained appropriations' 16 navy de partment of $2,735,500. At that date, the 15th of February, this amendment was agreed to in the senate by a unanimous vote, the record showing that I was pre sent,and again on the 11th of April, at a subsequent stage 'of mo uni, uuuuim unanimous vote covering these appro priations was given, and on the 14th the bill was passed finally in the same man ner, the Olobe showing-that I was pres ent at each of these sessions, and imme diately before and after the passage of the bill. These appropriations for the arihy and navy amounted to $100,239,540., In the same spring an act makiug 'ap propriatlous to the naval service for the year ending June, 1865, and for other purposes, approved May 21, 1884, was passed. Tljpt bill provided for appropri ations to Che naval service amounting to covered by nineteen items of appropriation. Then to seven bureaus in the naval department the amount ap propriated was $3,282,500, and to the ma rine corps an amount appropriated under the came bill was 51,332,508 99; the ag-‘ gregate of these appropriations being $106,102,987 00, besides large and liberal appropriations to the several navy yards along the Atlantia coast, which I have pot included. In that case also, the bill passed unanimously, the.record showing! that I was present. But I come to a more important bii), the largest of all, under which: expendi tures, were made daring the war.

March, 1865, yon will find an act making appropriations for the naval service for the year ending June 30, 1806, The amount appropriated was $121,480,928 95, and that bill passed .the'senate unanimously ITlh of February, the record showing that I wap present. At that same cession, on the 3d of March, 1805, yon will find another act among our statutes,,“an act making appropriations for the support of the ar my for the year ending 30th of June; 1860, 1 ’ that passed the senate on thoJßth of February, the record showing that I) was present. The aggregate amount of the appropriation made by [hat bill In thirty-four items, was $554,579,527 70.—! Here are efive successive money bills; every one of which, by the . record is shown to have been passed with my.con sent: and:, approval, because they were] ipasSod unanimously with the one exoep-i tlon of the army appropriation bill of .1804, and Tor that i have read the vote. They amount altogether to $1,427,822,: 881 80., 1 ■■■ , ! SOLDIER'S PAY. I come to another subject; the question; of the pay of the soldiers. On the22d of I -December, 1863, the, record shows thptj was present when the bill passed unani mously, appropriating $20,000,000 to pay bounties to soldiers, and it also shows that an amendment, offered at that time to reduce bounties from $3OO to $lOO, or to compel the President to pay no more than . $lOO bounty to a soldier, was op posed and voted against by me. Then, gentlemen, you will find that on the 22d of April, 1864, Mr.'Hendricks, of Indi ana, offered an amendment, providing that the pay of soldiers in the army should be increased fifty par cent., pro vided, however, that no non-commis sioned officer should receive-moro than $22 per month. That amendment was put to a vote, and I voted for It. I tho’t it was but just to the soldiers, whose pay was then but $l3 a month. [Applause.]’ That increase would have made their pay $l9 50, which)! thought was reason able. Again, you will find, on the.l7th of May, 1864, that an amendment was offered In the senate to pay soldiers in gold. Their wages then being low„and gold rising, and they having families to support at home, the proposition was made to pay them in gold, or Its equiva lent. For that, also, I voted. Then a bill was considered iu tbe senate, and passed on the 10th of May, 1884,f0r an Increase in the pay of soldiers from $l3 to $lO a month, with sundry other rates running up, in some cases, as high as $34 per month, for non-commissioned, officers ofthe army, and it is shown that’l was present at the time the amendment was agreed to, unanimously, and also after wards on two occasions, until final ac tion upon tbe bill, ■ You have, therefore, in reference to that subject the facta pf tbe vOto for the appropriation for soldiers’ bounties of of $20,000,000; the vote against bounties from $3OO tp $100;. the. vote to increase the pay of soldiers SO per pent.; the vote to pay them in gold, and after wards a support cheerfully given to the Increase from 1 $l3 to $lO per month for private soldiers, and larger sums for non commissioned officers.' ■ THE PAY, OF.COLORED TROOPS. 1 I dismiss chat, and I. come to another point, the pay of colored troops, and for this a very fdw words will answer. By an act passed 17th of July, 1802, before I ! was a-member of the senate, the, of oplored, soldiers or persons ,employed; in the army was fixed at $lO permontb, the pay of white soldiers then being sl3. Tlmt law remained la force until 1804, although Mr, Lincoln in bis message at the beginning of the session.of 1803-4 In formed us that about 100,000 colored men were In the public service, about half of . them nctually In the ranks of the army and the others engaged in those pursuits and employments connected with the army for which colored men were suited. Mr, Wilson, on the S2d of April, 1804, offered an amendment to the army bill against which I voted, and that vote has been misconstrued. The objections to bis amendment were several, and I men tion those that I remember. One was that it was retrospective. It went back as to time. When we came to Increase the ; pay of white soldiers in May we only Increased it from the time of . the pas sage of tbo bill, but Mr. Wilson when he proposed bis amendment proposed that we should go back to the beginning of the year and increase colored soldiers* from that time. Hie amendment also provided for an allowance to persons who secured ,lbc enlistment of colored soldiers which many of us understood was to be given to New England agents who went to the southern- states to procure colored soldiers to till up the quotas of the eas tern states ; and tfapre was another fea ture which was objected to. It . looked to the payment of certain South Carolina and Massachusetts regiments, two from each state, and giving -them increased pay equal to that of white soldiers while ail- the remainder of the colored troops were not increased. This I thought un just and unequal. It was alleged In be half of these regiments that some prom ises were made to them when they were recruited that they should have higher rases of wages, but the then existing laws applied to them ns well ns others, and it seemed unjust to change the law os to them, and give them increased pay nbt for the future but going back to the time of their’ enlistment. They’ had been in service perhaps two years’. Yon perceive then that there were apparently good objections to bis amendment. But though I voted against it, it, was put in to the bill, anil I afterward voted for the . bill. With that 1A it, and' you will observe i that in the committee of‘conference, of which I have spoßen, we made a general .adjustment of this payment tq colored troops both os regarded bounty and monthly pay, and we did the best we could. We agreed that colored troops should be paid the same as whlte : troops from; the.first of. January, 1861, and that all the colored men who hed enlisted under the President’s proclamation of October, should be. paid the same amoiiut, anil we agreed further that the attorney general might determine wheth er: there was any obligation upon the government bo pay la suoh cases as.those of the Massachusetts nndSouth Carolina tfoops. This was the,general of whloij'i have spoken, find with regard' ti'that’all ibive now to say Is . that. |t. was liberal. [Applause.] ' X have apdlieti of these points, afad r dismiss them from further’ notice. I come to another polnt of iny discourse'. !

Last winter, In the ease of McClure against Gray, we said the same thing precisely, and the former report was quoted. Although, asl have already stated, the legal proof of fraud in ten election divisions of, that oily was such that we set aside the .rejtprps, yet the all ting member,' COI. Gray, was permitted to call witnesses to prove what bis vote was in those divisions, and the commit tee sat day after day—ln some cases late at night—hearing testimony to that ef fect, blight hundred witnesses wars ex amined to enable him to prove what his vote was in those divisions. We did the very thing that at the previous session the committee In the Dechert cose said ought to be done. When there Is no va - lid return ftoba’a district you 'ought to permit the people of that district to prove how they did. vote, or the candidate to prove what bis vote was, and to substi tute it for the false and .fraudulent re turn, which cannot, be believed, add 1 must, therefore, be rejected.
