INN. THOMAS A. 11 E DRUMS,
Demooratio Candidate for Vice Presi

A CONSERVATIVE ADDRESS TO INTELLI
GENT VOTERS.
Siielbyville, Ind., Sept. 2, 76.
To-day Govornor llondriuks lias been
given i glorious welcome home by the
enthusiastic Democracy of Shelby coun
ty. For years be mailo Siielbyville hie
home, was known and admired of the
people before achieving his present
prominence in politics, and people bore
bave a way ot regarding dim proudly,
as ono ol their own manuiacture.
The day opened with clear skies and
cool air, and by eight o'clock Shelby
villi) began to swell. After hearing
various estimates and then making his
own calculation, your reporter con.
eludes that no less than twenty thou
sand people went to Shelby ville to hear
and sco the Governor. He was re
ceived with deafening chocrs, when be
mounted tlie platlorm. 1 nave beard
him make many addresses before, but
be never appeared to sucb splendid ad
vantage, ilis manner was intensely
warm and earnest. Ho forgot self en
tirely, and oven at timosdeviated slight
ly from bis prepared address in order
to put some cogent question, and make
a pointed personal appeal, ilis bear
ers were wild with enthusiasm. At
bis leit hand stood an old man, very
plainly dressod, but evidently absorb
ed with the speech. When tbo Gov
ernor mado a personal appeal and look
ed at bim causually, the veteran nod
ded his head and said he was a con
vert. The Governor stopped, took his
band, and laid : "Hero, my friends, is
a convert Irotn tbo Republican ranks."
men to tbe old lellow, wno looked im
mensely pleased, he said : "You are of
tho people, and you believe in tbe peo
ple's cause, and I am proud, sir, to call
you friend." This incident was tri-
tline, but the audience "went off with
applause. The Govornor had illustrat
ed his consummate power on tho stump.
tie spoke as lollows :
the bpiicu.
My Fellow-Citizens: I hod not ex-
pectcd to address you in tho present
political eontost, but have yielded to
the urgent request of friends, and will
make this and a tew other addresses
to the people.
I n a recent speech, Governor Morton
said : "In sucb a campaign, witb slan
der as the cbiet weapon, Republicans
must be excused 11 tbey speak plainly
of tbe political character, history and
purpose ot their antagonists. At the
close of that speech thore remains no
question that "the campaign," so far
as be could give it character, was cor
rectly described as on. ot slander. Ho
man of intelligentobservation has failed
to see thatmisrepresenation ol the mo
tives of Democrats is tbe purposo and
policy of the press and speakers of the
Republican party. Tbey chargo con
duct, attribute motives and impute sen
timents and opinions wholly unknown
to the parties attacked. Language is
attributed which was never used, or so
misquoted and garbled as to impart a
meaning never intended. A cause
must indeed be desperate when its vin
dication requires a resort to means so
despicable and wicked. In your pres
ence I can not repel by a resort to like
means and the use of such weapons. I
make you, my old neighbors who have
known mo from youth up, witnesses
this day that because of my rosnect for
yon, both Domocrats and Republicans,
I cun not reply as we wore attacked
And why should IT Is this not the
Centennial year? and are we not in
the very midt of ths memorios of the
times when the heroes and patriots of
the Revolution established the Union,
and declared tho Constitution T Are
we not Id tbe midst ol great responsi
bilities that rest somewhat upon every
man's shoulders? When corruption
in every department of the publio ser
vice threatens the stability of our in
stitution! may we smite truth in tbe
face and woo falsehood to our embrace ?
When the "paralysis of hard times" is
tell everywhere, and ail men are look
ing into the future with extreme anxi
ety, may we deny our obligations to so
ciety and becoino the blind followers ol
party ?
What is the troth, and your duty
and mine, in respect to the South? 1
repeat my letter of acceptance when I
say tbat all tbo people must be made
to feel and know tbat onco more there
is established a purpose and policy un
der which all citizens, of every condi
tion, raco and color, will be secure in
the enjoyment of wbatover rights the
Constitution and laws declare or recog
niso, and that he u a dangerous enemy
of bis country who would arouse or
foster sectional antagonisms. Is it in
deed truo that for full ten years
tho Republican party bos been
enacting laws, has boon expending
great sums of monoy, and bu
been using the army to establish
and maintain control throughout the
South, and tbat yet strife and blood
shed prevail in some localities ? Fail
ure, cruel failure, is stamped upon their
policy. In but two Slates is thore
bloodshed and death between the
racoa. In those States alone, Louisi
ana and South Carolina, is tbo Repub
lican party dominant In eve ry other
Slate in the Mouth the people bave re
covered and restored the American
rieht and power of self-irov.srnment,
aud tbo negro race has oeasod to be
the tool ol party, and peace and har
mony prevail, ami prosueritv is rnnid-
ly returning to all. Do yon recollect
tuai lees man iour years ago, uiayion
nnd bis plondoring associates innintaln
ed a horrid government in Arkansas
by bands of armed men, and tbat there
was no satoty or peace to tbe blaolt
man nor to the wbito maa? Under
kind Providence the people obtained
an opportunity to hold an election.
They revised their Constitution and
elected good men to offloe, and line
thai day tho mild away and aitnonty
of the law has been over all and re
spected by all, and the races have
dwelt in harmony. One year ago the
Democrats earned tbe elections in
Mississippi. Both branches ot the
Legislature were Democratic The

doned their positions to avoid impeach,
ment upon crave chariroa. Tbe pern I
cions influonce being removed, and tho
people no longer distracted and plun
dered, the black and the wbito man
have since been friends, and now strive
together for the restoration of their
Slate. The same story tells tbe histo
ry of North Carolina and Toxas and
Alabama. Why not restore Louisiana
and South Carolina to the blessings of
good government, tbat blacks and
whites aliko may together dwell under
the mild influence ot peace and harmo
ny? As wise men and patriouo citi
sens I ask you to judge whethei it be
right or expedient, or huraano, to con
tinue the men in power who make po
litical gain out of scenes of violence
and bloodshed? Will you follow tho
party banner stained witb human
blood, and tho political battle-cry, "A
bloody shirt and monoy ?" Is it not
wiser and better to trust a party whose
fortunes are identified with tbo suprem
acy of law and tbe triumphs of peace?
There is not ono good man in the
whole country whose heart is not made
glad by tbe assurance that onoo more
the Methodist Episcopal Church is to
become one and undivided. The Chris
tian and patriotic, gentlemen whose
labors bave brought tbat result about
merit tbe gratitude of the country, as
they will receive the blessings of God.
That mighty Church will no longer be
divided in Amenca by geographical
lines, nor disturbed by sectional pas
sions, but united, as the body of Christ,
will press lorward in tbe work ol man s
elevation every where. In the address,
a week since, it is declared: "These
fraternised churches have no further
occasion for seotional disputes or acri
monious differences. As tbe love ol
the whole for all tbe parts has animat
ed tbe cburchos.and raised them near
er tbe Tbrono, so the samo spirit will
strengthen our Union of Statos, and
will raise our oottntry into higher re
gions of patriotism and upon brighter
neitisoi glory.
Now, my countrymen, I have to ask
your judgment touching the question
and measure of reform. What think
you ? Is reform a necessity of our con
dition 7 Do we need reform In respect
to the purity ol the publio service ; in
respect to the number and character
of our public officers, and in respect to
the amount of monoy collected from
tbe people, and tbe economy oi its ex
penditure? 1 think I know your
judgment and feel tbe response of your
hearts.
When you say tbat corruption per
vades tho publio service ; that a great
army of officers oat out your substance,
and that waste and extravagance in
expenditures destroy your resources,
Governor Morton and his followors de
nounce your complaints as "bosh and
domagoguory." But they must excuse
you from heeding their denunciations.
They bave been actors in tbese things,
conspicuous, controlling, responsible.
Their conduct, and tbat of their polit
ical confederates, is passing under the
judgment of tho people. Corruption
is tound everywhere, uncnecxea by me
men retained In power. It is found in
ovory department of the service ; it is
proven in investigations, in reports, in
dismissals, in impeachments, in indict
monU, verdicts, and judgments. Must
this groat host of offlce-boldors Decome
a standing army, fastened permanent
ly upon the industries of the pooplo?
And shall the national expenditures
continue, aa in tbe past, largely to ex
ceed the necessities ot an efficient pub
lic service?
Upon which side do you stand ? Are
you lor reform, or, with others, do you
denounce retormors? It your judg
ment does condemn tbe present man
agement and does domand a purer,
better and cheaper service, how will
yon, as responsible citizens, give that
judement expression? Your ballots
win be the record oi your judgment
and purpose. Are you content tbat
they shall repeat tho past and indorse
tho present as woll enough ?
1 now assume that, intelligently and
earnestly, you are in favor of reform ;
that you sincerely aosire an improve
ment in the publio service, so tbat it
shall become purer, more efficient and
less expensive. The practical question
of thoso times is, how can those results
be attained? and bow can each man
contribute to their attainment? Ex
perience has taught us there is but one
remedy, and that is a chango of Ad
ministration. You may hold mass
meetinirs and Conventions, and declare
your wishes in resolutions, but your
i - . mi ... .i i :,"
cumpiaiuiB win gu w ins wmus ll you
do not give them lorco by tne ballot,
cbanirinff men and policies. What
other reliance have you ? Is it in the
. j i- , t
cnaracior ana promises oi me canut-
date for President ? Four years ago
last 16th of April, General Grant ap
proved a systom ol regulations for civil
service reform. He gave assurance,
tbe most solemn possible, tbat political
assessments bad been forbidden witbin
the various departments, and that
"honesty and efficiency, not political
activity, would determine the tenure
of office." That approval and assur
ance are found in an "Executive or
der." Many of you trusted and ex
pressed your confidence by voting for
(ion. Grant s re-election, i on thought
that with the aid of a Board of Officers
ho could and would remedy the grow
ing evils. You trusted bim because
you admired him aa a great and suc
cessful soldier. And you relied upon
his personal integrity and his iron will.
Have you boon disappointed? Politi
cal assessments, tbe most pernicious
influence, bave been and are enforced
with relentless exaction. Collected as
a tax, and expended as a bribe, man
hood, honor and publio virtue are an
assailed. And has tbat other insur
ance been kept to the hone? Havo
"honesty and efficiency, and not polit
ical activity," determined the tenure ol
offloe? Again the answer is found in
investigations, reports, indictments,
verdicts and judgments. Whose fault
Is it that there has been no reform, but
on tbe contrary that the pnblio service
has beon drifting from bad to worse ?
Is it fair to charge it altogether anon
General Grant? That charge springs
from an unworthy motive on tbe part
of olass of Republicans who seek
Governor Hayes' eloction upon the
ground that be can accomplish reforms
which General Grant could not or
would not bring about. Upon this
subject Governor Morton expressed
the following opinion in his late speech :
"lbs Administration oi any frost
dont will be in the main what the par
ty which elected him makes It. Il he
breaks away from bis party, the
ekeaees are that be will be broken
down. In tbe Government of parties
like oars, the President most bave his
choice of officers. The men to whom
be owes bis eloction, who bave defend
ed blm from assaults, to whom be must
look tor support in the future, will or
dinarily control bis action, and bo will
do nothing offensive to them."
In a largo degree thut expresses the
truth in respect to General Grant's
Administration. It il what bis party
bos made it. . And bis party is what
its leaden have mado it. Four years
ago, in my opening address as a candi
date for Governor, I expressed my per
sonal resneot for Gen.rsl Grant in tbe
opinion tbat the people ld loss cause
to approhond an evil policy from him
than from tho malign and powerful in
fluences with which ho would be sur
rounded. You all know that the re
sults bave more than realised my pre
dictions. Civil service reform is now
sneered at, and has ceased to bo evon
a pretensu. Wasteful expenditures
have continued, end-uHoiil misoonduot
has become wide-spread and alarming.
Surely tbe President can not be reliev
ed of responsibility for so shameful a
condition of publio affairs, but yet the
Administration is, in tbe main, what
the party managers bave made it.
Will it be otherwise if that party elects
tho successor ? Do you find the ground
ot such a hope and expectation in the
candidate himself? Do you claim that
he is a person ol higher personal in
tegrity than Goneral Grant? And
that he will more certainly keep his
pledges to tbe poople? Or do yon
think he is a man of stronger will to
stand by his convictions and his pledges?
Goneral Grant bad four years ol civil
experience when he pledged himself
and his Administration toretorm. f.von
he was not strong snough to achieve
success in tho midst of adverse influ
ences which party and party leaders
brought about him. The failure has
been so disastrous as to cause a lead
ing Republican nowspapor to exclaim :
' "Tbe Republican party bos reached
the decisive crisis in its history. Witb
in a sboit time it will either shake
itself clear of the rascalities which have
disgraced it or go down to dishonor
anddofeat"
In ovory State thcro are thousands of
voters whose minds are made up this
day beyond possibility ol chango, to
redeem the honor of the American Re
pnblio by sucb votes horoafter that
neithor Grant nor any of his favorites,
nor any man who has impudently call
ed our civil aorvice "tbe best the world
ever saw," nor any dclender and apol
ogist for this most scandalous Admin
istiation, bhtll ever again be able to
claim that be has tho American peo
ple behind hint. Democracy may be
dangerous, true; but it is not filthy
with bribes and stealings.
Is tho party, with the machinery In
tbe hands of the well known managers
and leaders, better than General G rant ?
Docs it show a disposition or ability to
reform ? A Democratic House of Rep
resentatives has lifted the covering, and
the country is astounded and shocked
at the spectacle. You may judge of
tbe temer ot the party by the man
ner in which it receives the investiga
tions, exposures and proposed reforms.
When yon see the newspapers and
leaders convulsed with rago because
crime is exposed and criminals ire
brought to punishment, you may know
full well that a party under such con
trol can not restore publio virtue.
Again, you seek retrenchment in pub
lic expenditures. Can you reasonably
expoct it from tbe party in power?
Turn to tbo history of tho past eight
months. A Democratic House deter
mined upon retrenchment. In overy
bill appropriating money they applied
the test the lowest sum possible con
sistent with efficient administration.
Useless officos wore abolished, extrav-
gant salaries reduced, and unnecessary
work suspended or abandoned, and the
result was a reduction f about forty j
million dollars as the bills passed tbo
jiouso. ins retrenchment was resist
ed in the Senato and tbe opposition
was earned to the extreme of a threat
ened suspension of tho publio sorvice.
So determined was the Senate that
upon many bills tbo Jiouso was com
pelled to yield somewhat. The result
was a reduction of only thirty millions
in tbo appropriations, as they finally
passed. A reduction ot thirty millions
at tho first session is tho reform in
economy with which tho House re
turns to the people. Will you stand
by the Jiouso, or will you sustain the
Senate and tho Administration? My
fellow-citizens, upon which sido of tho
well-defined line will you stand?
General Harrison mado a singular
proposition in bis Dsnvillospocch. Ho
said: "I say to tho Democracy that if
their investigations shall succeed in
detecting any Republican ofFlcor in
abuse of bis office, we pledge ourselves
to correct the abuses, and punish the
offender, and wo mean to redeem tho
pledge." Why must il be left to Dem
ocrats to detect and expose official
abuses ? Why does tho pledge not in
clude that also? But the past does
not justify any confidence in tlieplcdge
when mado lor tho party and Admin
istration. When the fraudulent con
tracts for the collection of tlio rovenuo
at a ruinous per cent were exposed,
and the indignation of the people com
pelled Richardson, the Secretary of the
l'reatury, to resign, was tha olToudor
punished r Un the contrary, within
two weeks he was appointed to a life
office, in which ho adjudicates claims
against tha United States, and his ap
pointment was connrmod by theoonate.
Duiing the last session it was re
ported to the House that the Superin
tendent ot Publio Priming bad been
guilty Of extravagance, waste and
favoritism, costing the United Slates
mora than one-half million dollars an
nually. So gross wore tbo faults that
the report recommended the inquiry
whether the Superintendent was an
officer of the United Slates and liable
to impeachment. Tho result of the
report was a change of the law so as
to discharge tho Superintendent and to
provide for the appoinlmont of a suc
cessor. Witbin a few days before tho
adjournment the President reinstated
tbe earns man and tbe appoint
ment was confirmed by the Senate. 1
need not refer to the case of ths present
Minister to Japan and his connection
with the Credit Mobilier before his ap
pointment and confirmation, nor to
other cases. It is very plain that the
leaders of the party will not allow their
party friends to be expoeod and pun
ished. I have another inquiry to make of
you, tbe answer to wnicn win influence
your votes. Have you reason to con
fide in and rely upon the pledges ot
reform made at St Louis ? The
pledges were distinctly made ; not so
in tho Cincinnati platform. There no
reform, no retrenchment wai promised.
The assurance tbat the civil service
should be purified, the expenditures
reduced, and nseloss offices abolished
would bave been a rebuke and condem
nation ot the Administration of General
Grant. On the contrary, the Cincin
nati platform declares the "National
Administration merits commendation
for Its honorable work in the mamge-
REPUBLICAN.
ment of domostio and foreign affulrs."
But may you tmst tho pledges made
at St Louis ? Who will be the most
likely to abolish tho thousands of use
less offices ? In so mo instances they
were created for party favorites, and
in others they have been continued
after theiroccasion bus coased. Tboy
are now filled and their emoluments
enjoyod by men who contribute money
and bestow thoir labor to eloct Gov
ernor Hayes.
Govornor Tilden will encounter no
political embaressmont in correcting
this great evil. Not so witb Govornor
Hayes. This reform requires that
thousands of places of profit be made
vacant now filled by bis supporters.
The prciontHouso 1b Democratic, Has
it not provod itself truo to ovory pledge
givon ? In Its investigations it has
gone thoroughly into the work as was
possible for men to do who had been
oxcluded from tbo records and theDo
partmonts for many years. In tho re
duction of expenditures and the aboli
tion of useless offices it wont as tar as
tbe persistent opposition of the Senate
would allow. Havo you occasion to
bo offeuded with the liouso ? Has its
work not boon in the interest of tho
people ? Was it not for you tbat nse
loss offices wore abolished ; that f.'iO,
000,0110 were saved, and that the enor
mous corruption was brought to light?
It this House had not been Demooratio,
do you not know that Gon. Belknap
would still be Secretary of War ? Bo
causo that Jiouso is of und for tlio peo
ple, it is denounced by every epithet
that a vicious political tasto can com
mand. It has boon deemed sufficient
to say tbat Goneral Belknap was a
Democrat until mado Secretary of War.
Does tbat, fndoed, satisfy you ? Asa
Democrat ho remainod without a spot
upon his character nntil the meridian
of his manhood, but as soon as became
under tho now associations ho full.
That is, indoed, attributing a terriblo
influonce to tho habits tbat bavo boon
obtained at Washington tbe habits of
extravagance and of expenditures bo
yond legitimate income Have you
been quito content to bear tbo House
described as tho Confcdorato House ?
It is true thoro are many from the
South who support "tlio Democratic
party. Is that offensive to you ? They
are chosen by tho people in pursuanco
of the Constitution. Would you have
it otherwise. ? In what rospeot bave
the Southern Doniocrats in the House
ofl'undod against the rights or the honor
of tho North ? Surely you will not
say that they have offended you in
voting to reduce the National expendi
tures 130,000,000. Dealing fairly witb
this subject will you not admit thut it
was liberal, as it was honorable, on
their part to vote to support '.ho Cen
tennial Exposition rather than suffer
tbe honor of thocountry to be tarnished
and our prido humiliatod by a failure
after tbe Congress of 187 1 had com
mitted the country to the entorpriso ?
Was it not honorable on their part to
voto for tho equalisation of bounties
among the soldiers of tho Federal
army 7 Their own constituents could
not share tlwruin, and yet supported
the measure. The House has boon
denounced and declared revolutionary
because reform measures were put
npon tbe appropriation bills. Legisla
tion upon appropriation bills is not new
nor is it revolutionary. It has pre
vailed heretofore. It has boon prac
ticed more than at any other time
when both branches wore Republican.
Tbe practice is not a good one as I
think, and should not be encouraged,
but tho position of the present House
was peculiar. It bad bees chosen by
the people with express reference to
the correction of evils and tho reduction
of expenditures. It soon became ap
parent tbat in carrying out tbe wishes
of the pcoplo the Houso must encoun
ter tbe determined opposition of tho
Senate and of tbo Administration. The
correction of prevailing evils and tbe
reduction of expenditures in many in
stances required the repeal or tho
amandobent of existing laws, and it
was found that that could be accom
plished only by putting the repeal and
amendments) upon the appropriation
bills. Tbe House comes directly from
the pooplo, and represents them special
ly upon the questions of revenue and
expenditure and may be oxcuscd in
tho exercise of some judgment nnd dis
cretion In respect to tho mode of pro
ceeding, whon the will of the peoplo
can bo obtained otherwise. Until tbe
C resent Congress the Democrats havo
ecn a small minority for many years,
and havo been unable to control tho
record ; but in the House tbey bavo
now mado a record, by no means as
IUII and complete as if tbey bad con
trolled the lortuncs of their measures
elsewhere. You may not agree to
many things that were ssid, and you
may be dissatisfied that some measures
wore delayed and others lost in the
House, yet do yon not choose to go
forward and comploto the work now
well begun rather than go back to the
practice ol preceding years r Mould
you venture to repeat tho party rule
of the past eight years ? find 130,
000,000 boon saved every year during
that period it may bo that you would
not now be in tho contracting folds ot
hard timos. Do you hesitato to trust
Governor TilJen in tho great work of
reform ? Alone ho might not accom
plish complete success : but ho will call
uround bim thoso who are without em-
bnrassmont in bis support. His elec
tion will be without tho help and over
tbe opposition ot thoso wno are and
bave been making money out of public
employment without tlio help and
over tno opposition of all tbo rings and
combinations against the Treasury.
For bis election lie will be indebted to
those who sincerely and earnestly de
sire reform. Ho will, therefore, have
their support in carrying out bis policy.
Thus surrounded, cun you trust bim 7
You know that in such a work ho is
both sealous and capable. You know
that neither political nor personal
friendship can stand in the way of his
efforts to purify and cheapen tbe pub
lic service. In the city of Now York
he overcame and destroyed a most
poworful and corrupt combination. As
Governor of tho State, succeeding Gen
oral Dix, ho introduced notable reforms,
and tbe taxes of New York have fallen
from sixteen millions to eight million
dollars. No other citison can bring
such evidonce of bis ability and teal to
accomplish what the people now so
much desire. That fact gave him the
nomination, and a conviction of that
fact on the part of the peoplo will elect
bim President All the corrupt influ
ences of the country are against him.
Falsehood and dotiaction will do their
work nigbland day, but tho people will
stand by the champion of their causo.
Are you quite sure that these hard
times were inevitable ? If not, then
there is a great responsibility some
where. Our people are Intelligent, In
dustrious and enterprising. ' We have
great and constantly increasing sources
of wealth. New mines are awaiting
development and lands are constantly
coming Into cultivation. Why, then.
does capital shrink from Investment I
Why is labor without employment ?
Somo answer should bo givon by thoso
who domand yet longer to conti-ol pub
lio affuirs and to fix our policies. If no
answer be given, or if the answer bo
an insult to their intelligence, the poo
plo will wisoly rosolvo upon a change.
When tho laborer of tbe North asks
why be can get no work, be will not
be satisfied with tlio answer thut thoro
wss bloodshed at Hamburg ; that thoro
was a bloody riot at Newark, N. J.,
or that a man was driven from his
house iu Mitchell, Indiana, by a band
of armed men and wounded. In such
a caso as ours tbe only remedy of tbo
poople is in a chango. It can not be
worse it will be better in many re
spects, it may be better in ovory
rospoct.
Retrenchment in publiccxpcndilurcs
will surely rcliove the industries of the
country of a portion of their burdens,
and tho adoption of a system of econo
my, and of wiser finance, will restore
bettor timos.
Where may capital look for invest
ment er.d labor for employment in this
country ? Can it 1)0 to the leaders
whose Administration stands con
demned, and under whoso measures
disaster has come upon all our interests?
Wben the chango has taken place and
tho people shall have placed in power
an Administration pledged to radical
reform ; pledged to a restoration ot par
value of the currency without artificial
contraction, by public economies, by
onicial rotrenebmontsandwise nnanco;
pledged also to administrative policies
and measures tor tho boncflt of a class
or a party, hope will revive, and confi
dence be restored, and wo will experi
ence tlio blessing ot a roturning pros
perity. I speak to you to-day in that causo.
1 speak to you to-day in your own
cause. I have no wounds in tho past.
I have borne my share of the responsi
bility of success, of defeat and disaster
with you men of Shelby county. I
stand to-dny with you in favor of what
I bclievo to be your cause and tbo causo
of tho people. Will tho pcoplo act to
gothor ? Will thoy act to build up an
aristocracy in this country, or will
they act to lay tho foundation of an
enduring prosperity ? God intends
tbat we should be a prosperous peoplo,
and if we do not stand in tho way of
our own success it will eomo.
I had intended to make somo reply
to a very villainous speech mado by
Governor Morton at Lebanon, but 1
bave beon induced to occupy more time
on tbe subjects I bavo sioken upon
than I intended. Voices of "Goon!"
He has a hold upon tho power for the
E resent, but it will be taken from him
y tbe people at tbe next opportunity,
lie will pass away as 1 will, and as wo
will all puss away, but tho principles
we contend for will enduro forever.
Great applause. Govornor Tilden,
in his letter of acceptance, says more
in asinglo sentence than all tbe spoocbes
that Morton has ever mado, and that
sentence is this ; "Governments, like
tho people, must live within their in
comes." Cboera and orias of "That's
sol" With a view of prejudicing the
people at Lebs..on when I was put
present Governor Morton told them, as
reported in the papers, that I was in
sympathy with a treasonable organisa
tion, understanding tbeir motives nnd
their purposes during tbo war. A
voice, " It is a Ho." Laughter and ap
plause. I am much obliged to my
friends for furnishing the only answer
thstcanbeircn toit It is a lie. Ap
plause. Thore is one resolution in the plat
form adopted at Chicago, in 1804, that
bos boon the subject ot great miscon
struction. It bos been construed to
Bhow that tbo war up to thattimo had
been a failure. I don't think it prop
erly bears that construction ; but it is
a thing of tho past which 1 shall not
discuss to-day. Morton told them
yesterday that Governor Tilden and I
wore both members of that Convention,
and both in favor of tho resolution.
Govornor Tildcn's friends, who wore
on the Committee on Resolutions, in
formed the country long ago that in
the Committee which decided that he
opposed tbo resolution, and so fur as I
am concerned it is simply a lio made
out ot wholo cloth, for 1 was not a
member of tho Convention at all.
Great cheering. What do you think
of such leadership ? you proud Repub

Will you follow it ? Havo wo been

BAD FOR THE ELEPHANT.
When old George Stephenson, the
father ot the railroad systom, on his
examination before a committee of tbo
British House ol Commons, was asked
by a skeptical interrogator what would
bo tho result should a stray cow get
on the track, bo replied in his broad
Northumberland accent, that it would
be "miso bad for the coo." Probably
the possibility of a collision botween a
locomotivcand an elephant never enter
ed his brain, fertile as it was in anticipa
tions which mankind generally scouted
as prepnstorous. Such an affair, how
ever, lately occurred on an Indian rail
road, in which the tusked monarch of
tbe jungle fared no better than tho
"coo," whose powers of resistance it
was onco gravely supposed would be
a scriousobstaclo totbe railroad travel.
As a train was proceeding at a fuir
rate of speed, the engineer noticed a
herd of elephants advancing along tho
lino. The brakes were at once put on,
but too lute to prevent a collision. The
loader of the herd took the whisllo for
a noto of deflanco and charged tho ad
vancing train. Thore was a terrible
concussion, tho elephant was thrown
on one sido, badly demoralised, and
the train, after a series ol violent jolt
ings, brought up against two other
members of the herd. Tbe passengers
were much trightcned,btil little damage
was done. An English gentleman on
board killed tbe wounded elephant and
secured his tusks, and the train pro
ceeded on its joarnoy, tbe remaining
elephants running oft" in alarm at tho
strange monster which bad successfully
disputed their hitherto unchallenged
supremacy.
A farmer ths other day wrote to a
New York merchant, asking bow the
farmer's son was getting along and
where he slept nights. The merchant
replied ! "Ho sleeps In the store In the
day time. I don't know where he
sleeps nights."

THE GREAT EXPLOSION.
11 ILL QAT1 DEMOLISHED.
General Nowton's baby girl, of two
and a half years, started tho commo
tion at Ballot's Point, in N. Y. barber
on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 21th, 1878.
Her tiny fingers wore guided by tbo
strongur hand of bar father in closing
the elect rio evil. We here copy tho
Now York Tribune"! account of this
great feut in engineering :
At 2:30 p. m., hnll'an hour before tbe
blast, a gun wusfircd from tho Govern
ment scow, to givo notice to all. Ves
sels bad ceased to pass tbe J'oint about
1:30, tho Pleasant Valley being tbe
last to go by, as she steamed up the
river to her position, just a littlo above
tho firing point. Ten minutes before
the explosion another gun sounded its
warning, and at the samo time Mrs.
GeneralNewton arrived at tho firing
point, accompanied by a nurse who
carried in her arms littlo Mary New
tow, two years and four months old
a pretty little child with blue eyes, fair
skin and light, curly hair. The baby
girl looked around upon all with per
fect sclt-posscssion, while tbo party
passed into tbo shod which was con
structed without sides, tbat the view
might not be obstructed and took
tbeir placos. Two or three minutes
later General Nowton came from the
bomb-proof with General Abbort.Capt.
Mercur, Mr. Striedinger and others.
Tho officers and civiliuns stood outside
tho shed and close at hand, while Gen.
Newton frequently consulted his watch
as bo tiilked in a pleasant way witb
Mrs. Nowton and his staff". Not a line
in his face betrayed tbo slightest anxi
ety. Twice ho turned to his little
daughter, whom the nurse held in her
arms, patted her check, and taking her
bund in his, touched with it tbe keys
which was to givo tho finishing stroke
to tho great mino. As be did this the
aye involuntarily turned to the mino,
but the battery plates were still out ot
the acids and consequently the touch
was harmless. After looking at his
watch again, bo said : "Come, my little
girl I " and lifting ber from the nurse's
nrms stood her by the sido of tho key
board upon a box placed there for the
purpose. Once more he took the
child's band and held it with his right
hand immediately over the key, the
spectators looking on in breathless sus
pense, mingled with a fooling of awe,
at the thought of w hat that littlo hand
would soon accomplish.
General Newton stood with his open
watch in his left hand and tho child's
hand in his right Silently ho watched
tho seconds pass. At length he shut
bis watch and returned it to his pocket,
said something to Mrs. Newton which
was inaudible to persons outsido of tho
little shod, and pressed tho littlo hand
of his child upon the key.
Tbe result was just what bo had
confidently assorted weeks ago tbat it
would bo. An ongineor who bos had
long experience in tho usoot explosives,
exclaimed, "Tho roan was a prophet,"
almost before the detonation bad ceased.
A column of water was seer to shoot
up to tbo height apparently ol 7D ur 60
feet, enrrying a part of tbat distance a
lew stones ot small sir.o and several
portions and sections of tbo coffer dam.
Some imagined tbat large portions of
rock wore tiirown up, but spectators
from both sides agreed in the state
ment thatonly small rocks and portions
of the dam were projected into tho sir.
The report followed instantly, and, at
the firing station, was not so loud as
that caused by the discharge of two
or throe pieces of ordnance, while the
jar was no greater than that felt from
such a discharge, say of 100 foot. The
commotion of the water was great for
a few minutes, and the earth of which
tho coffer dam was partially composed
made it very muddy, while pieces of
timber and boards wore thrown over
and over on its surface in such a man
ner as to show how greatly tho clement
was stirred. For a few minutes after
tho ox plosion tho peoplo .on tbo shore
and on tho vessels uttered not a word,
hardly breathing, as thoy stood in per
fect silence watching the spot whore
more than 60,000 pounds ot powerful
explosives hsd been fired. W hen tbe
conviction at length forced itself upon
their minds that the great explosion,
which had been tho subject of so many
wild theories, nnd had been tbe causo
of fear to thousands, was over, tho
cheers that broke from tbo crowd were
deafening, wbilo tho whistle of every
steamer was employed to increaso tho
sound of rejoicing. "Three cheers for
General Nowton I" somoono exclaimed,
and tbey were given and prolonged by
loud and enthusiastic shouts. As soon
as possible bo boarded the launch, leav
ing Mrs. Newton to follow on tho Star,
and started for the scenes of his tri
umph. Before be left the flringstalioit
with bis stun many friends pressed
forward to congratulate him and them
upon the success of their labors.
