Te outside observers the Democratic split in Philadelphia ever the district at at eorneyship seems te be very absurd ; and if there is any sense in it there must be a great deal of rascality in it also. Mani festly no sane Democrat expects te elect either candidate with two in the field, and the logical conclusion is that these who are responsible for this division de net wish te elect cither and have caused it te come about in the interest of the Republican candidate for the disputed office. "We say this en the assumption that this Democratic division has been fo mented, and is net the incident of a sud den outbreak of unruliness of temper. It has all the ear-marks of deliberation. Fer some time the newspapers have been full of renerls that some of the Deme cratic leaders proposed te nominate Ilagert with the purpose of securing through his unpopularity the election of the Republican Graham. This was a very remarkable story, and one difficult te credit. Yet it was told en every side and the Times gave it editorial endorse ment. Certainly the occurrences at the nominating convention go far te sustain it. The chairman, one Cantrell, who in the Ilagcrt interest refused the creden tials of the delegate? of one of the wards opposed te Ilagert, en the ground that they had net been handed into him before ten o'clock in the mprning, as required by the rules. It is true that this is the requirement of the rules ; and it is also true that the rejected delegation was headed by one Burke of unsavory memory who was put out of tins Lancaster Demo cratic slate convention for voting in the name of a delegate. Burke's character, however, is net involved in the present issue. He claims that he could net find Cantrell, the chairman, duiingjthc morn ing licfore 10 o'clock, se :is te present his credentials ; and it is staled that Cantre'.l kept himself in hiding from all the dele gates whom lie did net want te find him before the opening of the convention. Tiiat this charge is true is made very probable by his conduct sis presiding offi cer, in resolutely refusing te receive these crcdculiuls,ultheugh he v:ts urged todeso in the interest of harmony and fairness by some of the respectable delegates who were Mr. Ilagert's friends. Hut evi dently lie had his appointed work te de, which was te secure the nomination of Mr. Ilagert regardless entirely of that conciliation of his opponents which the sincere! friends of Mr. Ilagcrt must have desired te secure. It leeks very much indeed as though the plot was te force the split in the convention which occur red ; certainly Mr. Temple,Mr. Stevenson, and the of her opponents of Mr. Ilagert were of sufficient consequence te have been treated with courtesy and conces sion ; instead of which they were grossly outraged and driven from the conven tion. Certainly no one of self respect could have been expected te stay in a body which thus abused them and tram pled upon their rights. We cannot com plain that they left, have done better another convention. lul they might than organize Certainly they had no authority te nominate Mr. Shop Shep panl, and thciractien cannot receive the support of the party. They slieuld sim ply have left the convention te which they wire elected under pretest, and have carried their complaint te the party organization. Surely if they can show that organization the conspiracy te set tle Ilagert te cleat Graham, and the wrong.-: iiillictc.l upon them in its execu tion, a i:;n'.ly will 1 found if the or ganization is net worthless and corrupt; which it ought net te be after it has se lately left the creative arms of the Dem ocratic slate convention's peace commis sion. Tin-: Democracy of Alabama and Lou isiana quickly respond te the letter of General Hancock en the war claims question by giving it full and unequivo cal endorsement en behalf of the people of their section. Senater Hill, of Geor gia, has already pointed out hew he took this position long age in Congress and was endorsed for it by his constituents, and Mr. Herbert, candidate for Congress in a leading Alabama districts says that were he te run en any ether platform he would be beaten in every count' of his district . The fact is that the present generation of the Southern Democrats, like their Northern allies, have quite as much interest as Republicans can have in resisting the payment of these trumped up claims that are mostly in the hands of Republican lobbyists and claim agents. There are Democratic property owners and taxpayers as well as Republicans, and it has long been patent te every in telligent person that there is no larger portion of people in the Democratic party who would favor payment of un due or exorbitant claims than in the Republican. Gen. Wit.lakp Waisnek, of Ala bama, writes a letter te the Xew Yerk Tribune, dated Sept. 7, and waves " the bloody shirt"' in a way that must be pleasing te the stalwarts. Loek at the facts. Gen. Warner went te Alabama shortly after the war. He was sent te the United Slates Senate by the carpet baggers, served his time, and returned te Alabama. In 1872, recognizing the evil of carpet-bag rule, he united with the Democrats, and voted for Herace Greeley. He aided materially in redeeming the state, and has had his re ward. Under the rule of peace, General Warner has been able te engage success fully in iron mining, His furnace is at Tecuinseh. He lives there and votes as he pleases. Yet he says, " the ballet has been suppressed." His own life proves his letter a " fundamental falsehood." Sekateu Wallace defines the issue dispassionately and honestly when he declares that no material or moral inter est of Pennsylvania or any ether North ern state can be helped, or can fail te be hindered and harmed, by sectionalism, passion and malignant misrepresenta tion. Speaking for his sect ion of the country, Mr. MeCaafrankly admits theerrcr of its attempt te divide the Union, and that all the hopes, the sentiment and the material welfare in the Seuth lie in tlie restora tion of geed feeling, of generous co operation, and of complete harmony among citizens of the same states and states of the same union. Dewx in Alabama, where, according te Grant, a Republican cannot get his vote in or counted, it appears, according te Mr. McCiia,that this cheating is done at a very cheap rate $29 per county. Perhaps our Republican friends here at the North would like te knew the secret of this cheap villainy since theirs is se much mere costly. MINOR TOPICS. At the coroner's inquest it was shown that the death of Rebert Divver, who died se suddenly in Reading, en Saturday, was caused by eating tee many chestnuts.

It is of bronze, of heroic size, and stands upon a pedestal of Maine granite ten feet six inches high. The total cost was 20, 000. Tiie statue is covered with sail cloth te await the decision of the naval authorities as te when the ceremony of unveiling shall take place. Kev. Troyer a Statuvellst. Lancaster, Sept. 29, 1880. Messrs. Editors : The account given in your paper of the 2Sth, in regard te the preaching of 3Ir. Treycr, when in a sup posed trance condition, is very interest ing, but would be much mere se if the true nature of his condition and his pow ers while in it were understood by the community as well as by himself. 3Ir. Troyer is simply in a semnambulic or statuvelic condition, and could easily be taught te become a statuvelist, when his powers would be much increased and the delay and the necessity for se much care of him, new deemed necessary, could be dispensed with, as he then could enter the condition at will or plcasuic. and de all that he new docs uudcrstandingly if net knowingly. It is unfortunate that the community de net study the true nature of statuvelence, as much valuable information in legard te man's natural powers would be gained, and any amount of human misery pre vented. But this cannot be effected as long as prejudice and bigotry are arraign ed against natural conditions and God Ged given blessings, which new the ignorance of the world ignores. W. II. F.

Union, Peace, National Prosperity A Kcbcl lirlfadlcr Bead "What he Says. Ben Hill's Xew Yerk speed). Is it wise, is it patriotic, te teach the people of one portion of our country te hate and distrust the people of another portion of that same country? (Cries of "Ne.") The Republican party say it is both wise and patriotic te de se, andthe Democratic party affirm that it is mest un wise and most unpatriotic te de se. That is the issue before the American people. After the lapse of fifteen years of Republi can rule since the close of the war we had hoped that in this campaign for the presi dency this issue would net have been pre sented. I did net believe that it would be presented two months age, for surely it seemed te me in the light of the early past, that it ought te be regarded as au insult te every intelligent man te continue one party in power solely because it teaches the people of the North te distrust and disparage and hate the peeple of one-half of this country ; and yet it is true. It is represented that the rule of the Democratic party will be dangerous te the interests and the liberties of this country, but I ask you if there is a Republican here de you en your consciences believe it ? (A voice" .Ne," and great laugh ter.) If what our Republican friends say is true, the country is iu a sad condition. Suppose it te be true that thcie have been (as there have)sorae unpleasant differences between the two sections. Are these dif ferences te be healed by perpetual wrang ling or misrepresentation or abuse? What can we de te convince you that the charges against us are false ? We tell you that thev are false but they say we are net te be beheved. We vote in Congress that they are false, but it makes no impression en the ether side. Pray tell us what we shall de ? I knew of no method of set tling this question. Is the Seuth always te be distrusted, is the party with which the Seuth works always te be kept from power because of these charges ? If the charges be false you ought te knew it. I knew of but ene way te settle it, and that is te try us. (Cries of " Geed "' and applause.) Try us, and if we de net prove te you that these charges are untrue we will cevenaut never te ask for power again. (Annlause.) Four years will net be very long. Try us under the lead of Northern Democrats. Try us miner the lead of your Seymour (applause) your Kcrnan, your Bayard ; try us under the lead of the ueblest, the greatest and most valiant of the Union generals, and sec whether we shall be true or net. (Ap plause.) We all belong te the same ceun try and must prosper together or fail te gether. The charge is made that we arc untrustworthy ; but try us by our works and judge us by them. But 1 believe that the people of this country will de us jus tice, and I will say seme things which I bone von will net forget. I wish te deal kindly with the Republicans of the North I am net net astonished that se many people of the North believe these stories, because they arc constantly repeated in the press and by their great leaders. I believe that the great mass of the people are honest and desire te de right. And new, as a Southern man. I wish te say ene thin: There is ene great fact which the peeple of the North, and especially the ucpuuiicaus, de net seem te sec. and this fact is a most important ene. It continues in itself an epoch in the nineteenth century, and yet I am sure that the disttnguisiicd senator from New Yerk, Senater Colliding, docs net even suspect its existence. It is this : There was a Seuth of secession and slav ery ; that Seuth is dead. There is a Seuth of union and freedom (applause) that Seuth is living, doing, prospering every hour. I concede that this wonderful change has been accomplished by a great revolution, and I am net ene of these who think that the revolution of 18G1 wrought no great results, for I think that it wrought very great results some of the greatest in history. There have been three great revolutions in our country. The first was the diffcrence between Geerge the Thirdjand his ministers which ended in the independence of the colenics ; the second, that which began in the move ment the amend the articles of federation which ended in the adoption of the censti tutien, and the third was that which sprang out of the differences of opinion en the subject of slavery and ended iu its destruction. In my honest judgment life third revolution will take its place iu his tory with the ether two. Leng after the war began the Republican party almost unanimously affirmed in the most solemn manner that they had no purpose te exterminate slavary in the states ; but the truth is that in the revolution iu 1801, as in many ether revolutions, there was a divinity that shaped our cuds, rough hew them hew we would, and we are net in debted for the abolition of slavery te the Republican party, but te that divine power which directs human events con trary te human will. And looking at the result and effect of this last revolution, I fa Southern man and a born sla'c-helder, lift my voice te Him and say, 'Ged of my fathers, I thank thee.' The Southern peeple have becu the most benefited and are the most contented with the abolition of slavery. I have seen the time when I would have given my life te have prevent ed the abolition of slavery; new I would give my life a thousand times te prevent its restoration. (Great applause.) SOITTllKKN WAU CLAIMS. Hew Regarded by Southern Aim. Colonel A. R. Lamar, of Georgia, at the national Democratic headquarters said en the subject of "Southern claims" and General Hancock's letter. " A large por tion of the se-called Southern war claims are fraudulent and have no real basis whatever. Of the remainder a large majority are se greatly exaggerated that the amounts new claimed bear scarcely any relation te the damage inflicted upon the original claimants. They have nearly all passed into the hands of claim agents and speculators. When carpet-baggers were in power in the Southern states they were very industrious in cooking up these claims, and the Republicans in Congress passed ever $2,000,000 of such claims. The Southern people have accepted the consequences of the war in geed faith and de net expect te get any damages for losses sull'ercd through its prosecution. The letter of Gen. Hancock will be very warmly indorsed by the entire Seuth, which understands the war is a cruel game, all the consequences of which must be accepted by these engaged in it. When the Democrats came into power in Congress they shut down en the war claim business, and the only claims for damages seriously pressed have been these for the destruction of collegcs and institutions of religion and learning. If all the trumped up claims of pretended loyalists were paid the eevernment would be bankrupted for the benefit of sharpers, or the Seuth as well as the rest of the country would be taxed beyond endurance for their profit. General Hancock's clear and masterly letter will net be mere heartily endorsed in any part of the United States than in $ he Seuth. JU..IIU& j. S.m MU1A.U, fcllU VU1LU1 ,11111 IliU- prioter of the New Orleans Democrat, was also at headquarters and said en the same topic : " General Hancock's letter will be sustained by the Seuth with the greatest unauimity. We regard nine-tenth of the se-called 'Southern claims' that have been filed since the war as concocted by carpet bag congressmen from the Seuth and spe culators, and the ether tenth made up of claims for supplies furnished te Federal armies by se-called loyalists. If the Re publican North is disposed te repudiate these last claims the Seuth will certainly have no reason se object. The Seuth is tired of being regarded as a beggar at the floors of the national capitol, and simply ' asks rcspesc and relief from that sense of apprehension created by Republican rule in order that she may go forward iu solving the problem of building up her industries and improving her natural advantages. We arc building railroads and manufacto ries and taking steps te bring emigrants te our rich lands. Seven hundred thous and spindles are new running in the Seuth, and thenumbcr will be doubled within eighteen months. New Orleans and Texas are negotiating te bring the Great Eastern through the jetties. Barge lines are new being formed and elevators con structed te handle 500,000 bushels of grain per week. We are net thinking of claims against the government. The real Seuth has 'bucked' her losses long age and is looking ahead and net behind her. If all the se-called 'Southern claims' were pitch into the Potomac river the Seuth would net complain. Mad. Wells, of returning returning beard fame, and the persons interested with him would lese some $400,000. But the real representative people of the Seuth have little or no interest in the question." Voices rrem the Seuth. The Hancock association of Louisiana, at a meeting in New Orleans, last evening, adopted a resolution fully endorsing Gen. ilauceck s letter against payment of rebel claims. The Democratic state committee of Ala bama yesterday issued an address entirely endorsing General Hancock's letter in rela tion te the claims question, and adding : Onr party in Alabama stands committed by its platform, bv the action of evcrv de partment of the state government, and by the judges of its courts elected by it, first, te an acceptance of the results of the war ; second, te the equal political rights of every citizen; third, te the faithful maintenance of the public credit, state and national, and unflinching opposition te the repudiation of any public obligation; fourth, te the free and fair exercise of the elective franchise; fifth, te the strictest economy iu the administration of public affairs." STATE ITEMS. A freight brakcinan named Hendersen was killed by falling from a ear near Car lisle, en Tuesday night. The second annual exhibition of the Philadelphia Society of Artists will begin in the academy of fine arts en November 1, and continue until December 0.

Justus Heffman pleaded guilty yester day of the murder of his child at Wilkcs Wilkcs baree, and was sentenced te nine years' imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary. He shot his wife five times, in July last, and killed the infant in her arms. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. . m. 111 T11H K5:S1IYTEK1AN ALX.IANCK. A Paper by Kcv Dr. Thes. J. Apple. Ill the Pan-Presbyterian council, at Philadelphia, yesterday, Rev. Themas G. Apple, D. D., of Lancaster, read a paper en " The Theology of the Germau Re formed church." He said: The Reformed church of Germany, extending new into ether lands, and maintaining a vigorous independent organization in America, has its roots in original Protestantism, having started in Germany-Switzeiland simultan eously with the Lutheran Reformation in Wurtcmbcrg,and establishing itself subse quently in the Palatinate and ether sec tions of Germany. In this brief paper it is net difficult te determine the leading feature of the faith of the German Reformed church as compared with ether branches of the Reformed church. While IIcppe has labored te show that the Reformed church of Ger many ewes everything te Mclanethen and nothing te Calvin, and such writers as SndheifandSwcitzer have tried te show that its standpoint i3 purely Calvanistic, the Irnth must doubtless be found between these two parties. It was meulded under the influence of Calvin and Melancthen, and also te some extent that of Zwingle and his fellow Swiss Reformers. It is the province and task of theology te reduce te systematic and scientific form the dogmas of faith derived by a believing church from the teachings of Ged's Werd, having for its guide and ecclesiastic authority the denominational confession which it repre sents, and relating itself te the present conditions of Christian life as unfolding itself in the midst of historical progress. In the progress of German philosophy, especially since the time of the philesphcr and theologian Schlcirmachcr, who him self, it must be granted, mingled much in in his leaching that is very far from being ortherdox. German Reformed theology, in common with German theology generally, has made great account of the Chrhtologi Chrhtelogi Chrhtolegi cal Principle in organizing it system of doc trine The Reformation principles remain undistuibed, bnt they are related from a different standpoint. And this change has come net by theological speculation, but in a legitimate historic way. The assault of unbelief, it was found, directed its force net only against the Bible, but against the person of Christ, in the mythical theory of Strauss and the infidel romance of Kenan. Never before did the church, in response te this assault, produce a richer literature in reference te the person of Christ, and as a result the dectrine of the person of enr Lord has taken its place as central in the ological science. Our church hits inherited a precious legacy from her past history. Frem the mountains of Switzerland, where the voice of Zwniglc and his fellow Swiss Reformers first sounded the nete of Reformation; from her home in Palatinate, where she was nourished under the care of the pious elector ami the teachings of the disciples of Melancthen and Calvin ; fiomthesccncs of persecution, where her people scaled their faith by martyrdom, and though the struggles and trials of her early settlers in this country, pilgrims from the Fatherland and exiles for conscience sake, she has gene forth and lived and piespcred under the care of the great heid of the church, and she comes, in this alliance, through her humble representatives, te present her greeting in this joyous reunion of the Re formed churches throughout the world.

The Democratic meeting in Fulteu opera house last evening was a signal success. It could net be surpassed iu any building of like size for enthusiasm and numbers, and certainly has net been equalled iu the present campaign in this city. By 7:30 every seat i the building, numbering about 1,150, was occupied and by 8 it was crowded in every feet of available stand ing room.

Mr. Lightncr was received with applause and after returning his thanks for the honor conferred upon him, said he would net detain his audience from these whom they had assembled tehcar,and introduced Senater Win. A. Wallace, who upon ad vancing te the front of the stage was re ceived with long continued applause. Mr. Wallace's Speech. Mr. Wallace began by recounting the evidences or returning prosperity that arc visible en every hand,nnd pointing out the rivival of the material interests of the cenntry from the desolating blight that fell upon them in 187!. Business is con stantly improving, and times are in finitely better than they were five years age. The Republican party claims this te he the result of its policy of government, bnt this pretension is without foundation. Of course wise government is a necessary agent of national prosperity, but the redistribution of the forces of the country constituted the real cause of this renewed life and energy throughout the bread domain of the republic. The laboring man, for whom was only idleness in the great cities, went te the country and turned his hand te the tilling of the soil, and from the ample stores of mother earth drew the nourishment that was necessary te sustain life and supply strength aud happiness. All classes of the peeple knew that te better their condition thrift, economy, prudence were rcqusite, and it was by the exercise of these that the republic was res tored te the position of progress and growth. Net by the fiat of legislative and executive will, but by their own nerved right arm, did the American peeple again vindicate their title te be regarded as a free and independent nation. Applause, Ask our adversaries where we would stand te-day if the people of this country had been a generation of spendthrifts in stead of a people of frugality and enter prise. Their claim te have been the agency will net bear the test of criticism aud scrutiny. Fer it was no governmental policy that wrought this change for the better in the condition of the country. The peeple are themselves the governing power and the manor organization or agency that stands in the way will go down before the resistless march of progress. In the clank of the loom, the rattle of the spindle, the busy hum of machinery the country re sumed, and cursed be the hand that would rekindle the embers of sectional strife among a reunited and prosperous people. The stability of confidence cannot be forced upon the people by legislative enact ment. Comfert and happiness at home, by the fireside, produces educational advance ment, and following in logical sequence comes intellectual progress ; and by these the country is led up te the position te which the Ged of nations destined it. Can this condition of business prosperity, intellectual advancement and stability of government be most effectually maintained by nourishing the feeling of party passion and sectional prejudice, by reviving bitter memories, or by endeavoring te restore that unity of sentiment for which se many thousands of lives were sacrificed en many bloody fields? The question is its own answer. Yeu cannot have stability of government, unity of sentiment, by array ing the great sections of our bread land in enmity against each ether. Coming out as I de from among the peeplc,Ican lay my finger en the public pulse and there detect the threbbings that se clearly indicate the desire of all classes merchants, mechan ics, laboring men for a restoration of the era of geed feeling between all parts of our common country. We all want this, here in our own great state, the Keystone of the federal arch, and throughout the sis terhood of commonwealths, the sentiment prevails. The men of Pennsylvania re cognizing the fact that we are designed te be one people, that we have identity of in terest with that portienof our land once unhappily arrayed in hostility against the general government, can net alferd te step new and quarrel with the Seuth, where a new race of men has sprung up making the wilderness there te blossom as the rose, and who arc asking us te take their tobacco and cotton, and rice and sugar, and who want te take in exchange our iron and ether manufactures. Prolonged applause. The Republican party is a sectional party; it has ceased te be national if it ever was national. There is no Republi can party south of Masen and Dixen's line ; they don't want any electoral votes from that portion of the country, they don't make any efforts te secure them. The Republican leaders seek te array the North against what they cheese te term a disloyal solid Seuth andif they secured any of these "disloyal" states for their party their potent argument would be lest. The Southern negre has awakened te the fact that he has been put in a position of self-government; he begins te realize the responsibilities that have been put upon him ; he has arisen from the degraded po sition into which unscrupulous and design ing Republican politicians and adventurers had forced him ; his eyes are opened te his real interests, and as a consequence this colored individual is beginning te vote the Democratic ticket. He is growing in men tal stature and wealth, and the Republican party has discovered that the great exper iment of placing the ballet in tin hands of the unlettered negre has proved a failure se far as it had been designed as an cle ment of party strength. And party leaders will always discover their mistake when they attempt te govern from the top instead of from the bottom and thereby ' ignore the great cardinal truth that man is the unit of free government. Applause. Southern outrages te fire the Northern heart have become useless as Republican stock in trade.- Just after the war, indeed, when that party in the Seuth refused te admit the subordination of the military te the civil authority, and rode rough-shed ever the natural rights of the people, that portion of the country may have been con vulsed with disorders ; but a comparison of 18G8 with 1880 shows that all these have passed away: that under the beneficent inllucnce of Democratic government and constitutional rule the region has been re stored te tranquillity, happiness and pros perity ; and as a final veto this Republican outrage cry is silenced by the Democratic party's nomination of a Union general for the office of president of the United States. Wild cheering. The bloody shirt has been a failure, as even our friend Blaine admits. Mainebas sounded the muster, the day of the general resurrection will come in November. Great applause Pennsylvania has been went te be called the Keystone of the national arch, and she must continue te occupy that proud posi tion. As the great workshop of the nation, whose interests as a manufacturing centre are se closely identified with these of the Seuth as a great producing region, it is for her te call in thunder tones that there must be an end of strife, te step this sense less Republican chatter about the traitor eus Democracy of the North and the un repentant rebels of the Seuth. Pennsyl vania's pocket is directly affected in this matter, and at the ballet-box she will net be found frowning upon the effort that the geed peeple of the country are making te restore unity and geed feeling between the scctiDns of a restored Union. Sensible peeple of all parties agree that this stirring up of old animosities must cease, and they knew, tee, that the Democratic party propeso te gevern this country in the fear of Ged and according te the constitu tion, when they get it, which they will en the 2d day or November next. Cheers. Mr. Wallace demonstrated that the poli cy of the Republican party has wrought the destruction of American commerce, and remarking upon the the necessity of a change ofadministratien said that change is the law our being ; enr very physiology undergoes transition iu the course of every seven ycars,and the operations of nature re veal a continuous course of changes. The same principle applies in the operations of government, the same necessity for a change prevails there ; and in a government of the peeple it is the peeple who must apply the remedy. The Democratic party is net superior te this common law of nature, and, said Mr. Wallace, when we shall have become in power corrupt and defiled and stink in the nostrils of the people, why kick us out and put the ether fellows in. Applause. The Republicans say we can't be trusted with the business interests of the country, aud they have sent hundreds of thousands of dollars te Ohie and Indiana te save these commonwealths from the avalanche of Democracy that is sure te sweep ever them next month. Cheers. Loek at the facts. The Democrats have had control of two Congresses ; and right along they have been applying the prun ing knife of economy iu every branch of the government. Useless expenditures have been lopped oft" ; wholesale stealing has been steppcd,and the lobbyist has been driven from the halls of legislation. With all this retrenchment and economy the ap propriatiens have bcen ample te cover the legitimate expenses of the government, and the interests of the pensioners have been protected. Mr. Wallace exposed the hollewncss of the Republican charge that the Demo cratic policy is hostile te the material in terests or Pennsylvania, and quoted from the record te preve that General Garfield and ether Republicans had voted yes when the question of reducing the tariff en manufactured iron was before Congress, but when the peer man's table was at tacked Garfield was found among these who sought te raise the tax en coffee, tea and ether little home comforts. Frem the pages of the record the senator again exposed the position of another man, who is a candidate for an important position in the gift of this state, which will be vacant en the 4th of next March. Galusha A. Grew, for whom Lan caster county's Republican candidates for the Legislature are instructed te vote for United States senator, advocated en the fleer of the Heuso the free trade doctrines of David Wilmet, whose pupil he was. just as Garfield reflected the views of Jeshua R. Giddmgs, the Ohie free trader, whom he succeeded in Congress. Let these Republicans who arc charging home upon the Democracy principles hostile te Penn sylvania first remove the sin from before their own deer before they attack ours. The record of Garfield and Grew will show very clearly where they stand upon this question of tariff, about which our Re publican friends arc making se much ado. The Republican bugaboo of rebel claims, which scusible peeple always laughed at, has disappeared before the ringing utter ances of General Hancock's recent letter. Applause. In 187ft Mr. Tildcn was elected president of the United States by a majority of a quarter of a million of the American peo ple. Prolonged applause. That deci sion was reversed by the partisan vote of an electoral tribunal. The Democratic party is the party of peace, and in order te preserve the business of the coun try submitted for the time be ing te the indignity that had been put upon it and upon the American people, bided its time, and new comes be fore the great tribunal of the public and indicts the Republican party for the larceny of the presidency of the United States. On this issue, as much as upon any ether, it comes before the court of last resort, and the verdict will be rendered in unmis unmis tagable terms en the second day of Novem ber. Cheers. Senater Wallace's closing words compris ed a graphic description of the battle of Gettysburg, where three noble sons of Pennsylvania steed like a wall of adamant against an invading host, and where at the most critical juncture, when the issue hung trembling in the balance, Wiuficld S. Hancock like a viking hurled back the tide of threatened destruction and saved the commonwealth and the country. Great cheering. In the hands of Gettys burg's here the Democratic party has placed its standard in this campaign, and him we fellow te certain victory. Renew ed cheers. The speaker graphically por trayed the scenes in the Cincinnati con vention which culminated in Hancock's nomination during which he said he felt the inspiration as he new feels it, " Glory te Ged, we are en the high read te victory." Senater Wallace retired amid tumultu ous applause at the conclusion of his mas terly address, which was delivered in the calm, logical and impressive manner that distinguishes his forensic cfTerts, and after the cheering had in a measure subsided, President Lightncr stepped te the front of the stage and introduced Eugene McCaa, Esq., of Alabama, who was received with a burst of applause. Mr. McCaa addressed his audience as fellow citizens net alone or Pennsylvania, the home of his ancestry, but fellow citi zens of a reunited country. He said that he came from that land of rest, fair Ala bama. He was net a rebel brigadier, nor colonel ; net even a major nor a captain,but the last high private left of Longstreet's corps. Langhtcr. He at once took up the subject of the "solid Seuth," and he said that this is net the first time it has been solid. In the days of reconstruction the Republican party, through fraud, chica nery and the most infamous corruption, had placed it solidly under carpet-bag regime. Te be sure, his own state of Alabama had voted by fifteen thou sand majority, as certified te by Gen eral Meade, te defeat the reconstruction constitution, bnt the Republicans calmly stifled that popular decision and forced the yeke upon the necks of the unwilling people. Mr. McCaa pictured the con dition of the state under this corrupt gov ernment thus illegally foisted upon it. Business withered, production ceased in a large measure, and thieves and cormorants fattened en the substance of the people Since 1872 all this has been changed. Corrupt carpet-bag rule has been overthrown, and the state has rapidly arisen te a proud position among the commonwealths of the repub lic. Especially notable in the improved and improving condition of affairs is the advancement of the colored peeple ; they are happy and contented ; their children are being sent te school and educated for the duties of citizenship ; they have be come and are regarded as an important factor in the business interests of the community, and they are treated with kindness and consideration by the white population. The speaker lived in the cen tre of ene of the most densely populated negre districts of the state, and he could truthfully say that at the election in August last he neither witnessed nor heard of a single case of intimidation, violcnce or fraud, and as indicative of the simplicity of the manner of conducting elections he mentioned the fact the truth of which he was in a position te knew that the entire expense of the campaign in his county of 30,000 people, was exactly $29.75. As had been said by the distinguished senator, the Republican party Seuth has disappeared, and the Republican mana gers have aided this condition of affairs by removing all the efficient organizers of the party te pests where they could net employ their talents in creating an organi zation. Gen. Lengstrcct, the speaker's old corps commander, and ene of the best political managers in the Seuth, had been sent by the Republican administration at Washington as minister te Turkey ; Mesby has been shipped te Heng Keng for the same reason, and R. 31. Reynolds, ene of the most cultured Republicans iu Ala bama, has !ecii appointed te a position that keeps him at the national capital. It is the same with all the prominent Republi cans in the Seuth, and the reason is trans parent. The Seuth is solid for Hancock becanse she wants te ceme back into the Union. Old rebels like myself recegnize the results of the war, and want te sce a restoration of unity and peace ; and Hancock is the representative of that feeling, xs he is the representative of the constitution and geed government. The Seuth was solid for Geerge Wash ington because he steed up against op pression and tyranny, and is new solid ler the man who saved us, and by us I mean the citizen alike of North and Seuth. Jlr. McCaa spoke with marked effect and genuine earnestness; he was fre quently interrupted by applause, and after Geerge Pent, had sung a couple his popu lar campaign songs, the immense assem blage slowly dispersed firmer than ever iu the support of Hancock aud Union.
