Durlrg the year 18.8, when q alte a lad, I passed through your couuty, with otbe.s of my family, on our wj to Vincennes. My mother had of en spoken of chestnut?, and the boys were anxious to gather them. I remember tbe circumstance well. Paealrg over the knobs In the mouih of No vember, we gabered quite a lot of them and carried thtm to o r -camping place la a blanket. In bu.llrg Ibem nur fingers were pretty tjaciy stuc, diu we rj yea me ran, nevertheless, 'lhe next morulh''. when ready tostarton our journey, the blanket was put on a pony, wni n we rotte mm ebout, anu es someot tbe bum stuck to th blanket, anu the ragh side was placed D-xt to him, he signified his disn'easure bvkkklug up ra'her vigorously, lhe blanket was turn, d rougM sid - up and ih- r.d-r acte-d in a like manner. Kow. we are titrulnur the roub bide of tbe blanket to the It tdlcalN, and they are very an easy, and are kicking out In tvery dt.ec ioo. bat the bum are toti pointed lor iheiu to es cape. There ae very few persons here thai were here iu IMS. Lara here to discuss the oaest ion 8 that divide the pejule of this coun try. V ould like to discuss cur sta'e matters, but as 1 have n.

Ureat stress la generally put on political platform. .That is right and proper when cor rect principles are lnten Jed to be carried out jf not, they are bnt empty words. It will be proper to show which party has acted In ac cordance with the principles enunciated, and which come tbe nearest suiting the neoole o this state. Cur state piatiortn starts oat with the promise nd determination of reform, re treuchment aao eeonomy. homocra'i advo cate retorai in national, rat and town-hip affairs.

For several years me peo-ie bits anown mat ait waa not rignt oar rulers hxe been charzed with corru . tloos. . bal we ha t no opportanl. to prove their mtsdeeds and peculadoDS until trie iast Congress igot into power, it had not been la seosiin long am 11 It was di cover d that many thiucs wci wnio(. a.i wa soon aisooverea loat THE 8KCBS7ARY OP WAR kad been guilty 'grasa wrongs and actual mal feasance lie dice.

AN ECONOMICAL CONGRESS. At the Deglnnibg of the last Congress Democrats determined to cat dowm expenses and ecoDoaalz In every way possible. Congress convened In December, when salaries were high. The Senate refased to cut down expenses to tbe Cgare proposed rv the Hoase. In order to get anvtblng, trte House waa obliged to j U Id tr ucb. In order to ret the reductions they did propose, they were rnplled to al o w the president ts 00,4nsiea''' of AtiO salary a year or get no Oil' parsed. You recllect such a bill did pan once bit he preatden vetoed It. He thought IV',00 nnne uoo mu h for his services tr that of hl sacceeor, e peclally M ha uought at that time he woald be his

Toenum bero emp'oyts in the departments was reduced greatij , THB H0UB PROPOSED A REDUCTION of 1)0 employes, while the Benate wr-.nld not agree to mere than 709. Tbe best we could do wai a reduction in expense of J32,'W),0'0. Is that amount worth saying in less thin one year? Is that not worth something to tbe tax payers of this country ? Huppose this reduction had commenced ten years ago, when reform ought to have began, how mccb better off do yoa think yoa woald be? That amount each year, at half tbe intere-t allowed, in tea years would amount to tl6',i0t)0 n, added to the principal w uld mate Jb, lO.Ooo. would not that be a pleasant inouunito yoa wli are ground down by bard time-?

Are not Democrats starting out iu tbe rUht direction? Are we not living up to our promises and onr p attorms? But many Republicans say tbey don't want any ot this sort of retreuchraenl and re orm. I don't believe they dc. we are carr lag this blngon in reality atd the people have louna It out. TALK RIGHT BUT VOTE WROSa. have a neighbor who 1 a clever old fellow and means to do right. Sometimes I tet my audi-iuce to cry ing, but I find that I always have to cry first. So with my neighbor when we talk politics; I ask him what he th'nks ol tha times, bu.be won't budge an inch until he htars from me. He invariably agrees with me, and stys I am right. He talks right and votes wrone. Tbuusttuds of people are the same way. tvetybodv will agree that we are ruht, but when we ask them to come over io u, and we will do them gooj, and no liaTU, many are line my ueihbor, when the text comes tht-y blubber nut, "1 .alk right and vote wrong." lbese leilows whom we nave bten s ndiug to foreign natious to repre eut tu have been getdng large salaries.

CHAIRMAN CF ACCOUS.S I will tell you how it was that I was appointed chairman of the committee on accounts by s?ptaker Kerr. He knew that I irtquently called out and asked wbat money was to be appropriated for, and I suppose be thought 1 would watch the corners. I am rather fond of rraking comparisons, especially when they rein my favor. Four ears a jo we had a rresl dential eiec ion, a we will r-ave ihl year.

After tbe convening of Congrefsl soonfjund that I conld not have my own way on that question as we 1 as others. To eet the ne rest I could Vlewp, the Democrats wer? bilged to com pro mise, x was in lavor ni me repeal oi the re sum pi ion act, take up oon as at last as poss'beand issue greenbacks insttad Take np bonds with the g"ld as i; cccumulated In the tieasury.

'J he govern ment can redeem mj fan' as the banks can. Ma'jy greü men oppose ray views ot mis matter, we naa to nave a twothirds majority to get the report to the House. Out of the 106 who favored the repe U of the resumption act In the H-use nine were Hepublicans, tbe bil.ince Democrats. Tre eigaty-lx wbo voted again s ir. were Kepnblicatis wiin me-exception oi a lew Ueoao ra s. It was said that Democrats were not sincere la their desire for the repeal of the resump i on avci. uur actions proved mat we were, we eonienoea Tor It from first to l-.st ana did our duty. Tue platform of the Keputiican party not only means hard money but the letter; of acceptance of Jo Hayes pat it la etrorger language.

THB SILVER BILL. Silver has always been a legal tender, and considered good money until a Republican Congress demonetized It about three yean ago. Every one was willing to takelt at par. The bill by which It was demonetized was passed during the last daysofthe session with out ever being read Bonds call for coin, and coin now means nothing bat gold. Hllver as well as gold was legal mouev nnlil Many of those bonds were bought with paper money at from 30 to 40 oenU on the dollar. Hllver was a legai vender wnen the KDds were fiarchased, and nobody would be hurt by sking it now in exchange ror bond. Yoa have all heard of Cot grea a nave. Until recently congiesMmen, clerks of departments ana oiuer employee at washtnc'OD, have been furnished, at the ex Dense of Ike govern ment, wbat Is usually called stationary, mean ing such as paper, envelopes, pens and ink. rsu or loOKiog over items ot allowance it ao pears that most everything else but s atlonery was furnish d. 8;tlonery by u-sge eot to mean pocket knives, poriemoan tles, satchel scseora. car re sacks, gold pens, nold pen cus ana narawsra generally.

Frequently merao-anr'a 'or th nn to be ued about the mill would come to me, and I no led tbe article "gallon of hardware," was almost always on the list. Finally J sked wnat wan iieeu-u wuu so many K"ions 01 i narawarer 1 was toid tc ass the man wno used it, if it didn't mean whisky. You have neara aooat a THB LEMONADE BUSINESS. Well, I had to leave Washington on that ac count. There was an Indictment a gal äst me. Jere Black and Mat Carpenter were the only good lawyers there, but their price to take a case was $ö.0X. I didn't like to pay so ranch, and left. In the year 1871. knives, scissors, Portemonnaies, gold pens and other hardware cut quite a figure. One clerk got forty pairs of clsoors. I 'ems for f SOG worth of gold pens. 2,i 00 worth of penknives and other hardware tone bani, were not rare by any means. But I mast not leu you too much at ence, lest y a may serve me the way the ind-ao did the proa -her. ine preacher was leuing nim about J man swa lowlLg the whale, and many miracles.

Imagine how some candidates for Congress electioneer. They come around to you every two years, about tbe only time they know you. They say to themselve, I must make a vigorous canvass, flht It right thron ih and be successful. Going along the road a man Is seen spading In the ditch, "Well, Pat, wbai are you doiDg?" "Faith, can't yes see I'm padin' In the gutber." "And what do yen get for jour iDor7 -umy 11 a day, ar a d oreo mesil'." "Pretty htrd on you: what a pity." And phat are ye d 0:1 g?" said Pat. "1 am a candidate for congnst on the Kepublicau ticket." "Let ma ak y 1, says Pa'. why I cin't buy a spade nor anything I need without piylne' so much tax to tbe government." Candidate lor Congrebs replied mat "it is to keep up the cu-rent expenses 01 the government, to pay off the debt made b rebel D-mocrats, that tbe tax was libf, and hardly any one feit it.' Pat asked, ' don! you spind anv money for anything else but to pay oil that rebl debt? don't yoa too si Inf the mney to bay dock et Knives, scissors, eoid pin?et. Why tax the spade 1 need, to buy such thiugs? 1 don't get any knives, sold pincil or to d pins." "where did you learr ah that stun. Pt?" Pdt shows McPherson's teportand Williams' lemonade speech, whe Mr. candidate say , es. Williams is doine hat. I wish he hud siaye in the Leicisla'ure and not gone to Congress. He wl.l soon be "AS BID AS BILL HOLM AN." Candidate goes to the house of Mr. Brown. Mrs. Brown tells him Mr. Brown has gone to town to get some wine, the doctor prescribed It for her as a slight stimulant. "Bnwn is c'janged man," says the wife; "something Is lhe matter with tbe tariff and high taxes what does it all mean, anyhow, Mr. Candi date?" Candidate tel.8 her its only to de fray the expenses of the government the rebel Democrats tried o destroy. "Well. I don't dnderstand how it Is, but Brown says he won't begin to vote for you nor with your party this year." This astoniHhed trie candidate, and he wonders why It is, Brjwn has always been his personal riend and a strong Republican, aid fieas?, Whai'sihe matter with lirowu?" Williarcs sent us bis lemonade speech, ana Brown says H mem tellers aie eo'ok to marts muood Id Congress, let them pay lor Their drinks and not tax the wine 1 drink." Does Mr. Spear nve over youaer yei7" asas Mr. uatididate. "Yes, ' said Mra. Irown. "but yoa needn't e. t ere, for he b down wltn the same complaint, oniy a ntap worse man Brown is." A WELL ABUSED MAN I hadn't been a cindldaie thiee weeks until lhe papers said I was a rebel sympathizer, Tbe record don't bear them out In the asser tlon. While In the legislature I vo'ed for every bill and contingent fund for deirayin? the expenses frr carrying on the war al voted for it. Something has been said con cernlng turnicg out soldiers and placing con federates in their stead. This la false, when I went to Congress I found lour een crippled so uiers wno nan not been patu went to see then, called them out and asked, "Are you a soldier?' yfs. "Are yoa a crippled soldler?" es. "Aie you a Union soldier?" yea. Being satisfied tbeir siaiemen a were true 1 lniro-.tacea a oit a-k Ins that they be paid from tbe 6ih of Decem ber, '75, to J une SO, 7. Before ti e bill pass d I wa- asked " lo jou Enow them?" 1 read tneir r amea. stated that I had seen them : waa ailsfl:d tbey should be paid, and the bill tassed That does not appear that I have ever been much of a rebel sympathizer. Hoidlerscame 10 me with cla.ma. aud when loand correc ana just they were put through. .Neither I nor any ther menabar was as much of a rebel as a me would like to have It appear. The record will show that the charge is false. But I have "BEEN MEAN TO MT FARM HANDS" It is said. "High water floated his jails off Poor man replaced the fence, couldn't get pay sued and got Judgment," and all that sort o stuff. ow, the fact is, I never had a man to work for me that sued me or that I had trou b e wltb. I always paid men for lator. I have done a grea; deal of it myself at low wage My 80u nire 1 a man to gather rain for hla sl-ter and he charged 13 per one hundred for replacing old rat a. The price ae eed anon, he states, was S3 per I'joo, and he refused 10 nay the exorbitant price 01 3 per 10. Yoa seel bow drowning men catch at straws. An- 1 other charge is that my nephew helped mesave my property during the high water by which be lost hiaown, thit be asked me for 92 and I refused to let him have it ' There is a man of my name who had a flat 1 boat and was there tor the part oae ot savi g property. 1 asked him to aaaist me, which be I UIU.

A nephew did write to ne askiog m to sell him a pair 01 mules and that he would give security for payment. I answered him to TAKE A PAIR OF MULES, if he wanted to buy at I1C0 each. If he pre ferred. take them, work them and return them to me In the fall without charge. He soon wrote to me that others wanted more mules on the same terms. I replied, take them and break the one for hla sister. It haa been reported that I made a fortune out of swamp lands. The fact is that I bought 3,0 acres of swamp land and raid all that was a-ked for It, and received as good a title as the atate can give. Ho one disputes it. S me smart fellow went to Washington to see about the matter, and has not sinee been heard from. Yoa see that I have b-en the most thoroughly abused man in tho state. It It is not stopped boon 1 will be elected governor, sure. Kow, my fellow eltUena, let na bo to work. Economize. Begin at home in your townships, and carry the principle of reform and retrenebment tbroueiiout the state and nation. If this Is n-.t done the people and tbe eountry will bo bankrupt. Lot as all determine to do it and It will ba done. You have ben patient in listening to me and I thank von klndlv f r your attention. At the conclusion of Mr, William' speech, quite a nunber of old ajrey-baired veterans, wbo never voted a Democratic tic itet, took Uncle Jimmy by the hand and E 'edged their votes and th.ir influence lor im and tbe eaus- ot refoim One of them ald, 'We are not like your o'd oever neigbbo' , talk one way and vote another: we are going to t Ik goiugtoi ik ruht, work right and vote riant Irom this time until reform is accomplished."

DOMINANT DEMOCRACY. Concluded from Third Page.

tlieir adrent as a date, and make a Tery eimplj com parison. Eight year ago the w ages of every labor ing man within tbe eoand of my voice ranged from wo dollars to two dollar and a half per day and gold ranged from 108 to 112. To-day hie wage range from a dollar to a dollar and a quarter per day, and gold range from fl 11 to !1 15. (Applause.) Eight yeara ago onr farmer were growing rich. To-day one-half the farm beween tbe Ohio river and the lakes are under a cut throat mortgage to eastern capitalists. Eight year ago merchant carried large etock of RooU and sold them at a fair profit aud met their bill promptly. To-day your atock are small, your profit low, and your bills often give yon trouble. Eight years ago very mechanic in tbe laud wa emuloved. To-day, thousand upon tbottand of them are beg ging for work o that their wire and little cn may not beg for bread nor ufler from the cold of the coming winter. Eight year ago every factory and furnace in the Uad ran to it full capacity. Today one-half of them are cloned, and the highway and by-way are filled with tramp, and tne red nag of the sheriffs may be seen upon every street. Do I exaggerate? Do you not know that it i painfully and undoubtedly true, that for three years or more A DARK CLOUD OP DEFP DEPRESSION. growing darker and darker every day, slowly but tardy, has settled like a funeral pall upon the business and commercial interetita of the country? The very fi rot question that uggests Itseif is this who is responsible for this condition of things? And methiuk I hear a thousnd postmasters cry out, the rebellion, the rebellion, nd from out the jails and penitentiaries of Indiana and Illiuois conies the piaiutive echo from he trembling lips of revenue thieves. The rebellion 1 canse it all. That was the sum and substance of your ditinguirihed senator' arguments here a week ago. That if there be depresmon in the country, if there be hard times, it was caused by the rebellion. Lee ns see. Across the Atlantic is nation whose whole empire i not as large as our tateof Texas. In 1870 the sword and the toich and the iieedle-Kin and the bayonet held wild carnival thin her borders. The ambitious monarch who then rnled her deatinits brought upon her a war with Germany. Her vim-yards w-rr rampled into tbe earth; her cities were burned; her commerce was destroyed. The red plowshars of WAR CAT CP ITS FRIGHTFUL FURROWS from tl.e Alps to tue, Tyreeuees and from the English channel to the MeJiterranean, and up to the Tery heart of the capital the city of Paris. And then came. finally, the crushing def-at -starvation, death, and til the bloody horrors of the commune. Tbe con queror took from that nation her richest province; XHCted from her au indemnity of l,(xi ,. (KN).(HMI of dollars in coin. But five years have psed and France, France, the conntry we have often sneered at as incapable of self government, has paid the last cent of that indemniiy, owes no foreign nation a single dollar, ha equipp -d an other magnificent army, const! ucted a magnificent navy, prosperity reigns throughout her borders, and to-day if an officer of her government wer charged with fraud, and they should cry out tbe German war, they would put his guilty head npon the executioners block. Applause. Cotim ler for a moment t bis exam pie of France. Consider the vast resources of the I'nitcd States. Consider that we have had eleven, not five years of peace, aud during this eleven year we have paid into thelcdnral treasury twice as much money as the national debt mounts to. Consider that all this time the Democratic party has been ab solutely powerles, and the Radical party has had absolute and uudisputed cont rol of every department of th government, and where. I ask, does the responsibility belong? You and I both know that it is cowaruly comn.g from craven lips, when we bear these politiciansay, it is the war.

But it is not forgotten ty such men as Judge Mallo Fred Hansaurek and nine-tenths of the German vo ters led by that great Republican warrior, General Franz Sigel. Cheer. . THE FIN A"CIAL QUESTION. Kow gentlemen, I will say a word about this finan cial question. I will say, without any reference to whether I may agree with or differ widely from the distinguished gentleman who addressed you this evening, and without reference to the difference of opinion that may prevail within the ranks of parties npon this quexfiun. four-tutu of the iner chants, farmers aud laboring people are to-day in lavor of repealing the resumption law. Voices, that's so. and applause.; ow there is one genuine, broad proposition npon which all the opponents of Badi calisui can stand upon tnis questlou; the issue is clear and distinct between the two parties The Republicans have paased a la fixing a date lor resumption and their platform and candidates say they will take no step backward. The Democratic platform and caudidatea say the law i delusion and a sham and should be repealed. Ap plause. That makes the issue, and that is why f say the platform is broad enough for us all to stand upon There underlies this whole financial matter a more serious question than any differs ice of opinion we may have npon the merit of this 1 rtbat circulating medium or method of resumption.

(Cheers.) Uentlemen, that is the dollar involved in this right. Rmumption in 1879, with four years more of this f.'aud and dishonesty in office, means universal bankruptcy and widespread min. I hear of men who propose seeking relief from this iuiqnitous law by proposing to vote for a third nominee for the Presidency. This course is unwise, for it makes them allies of the raeo who passed tha law, and aids thera to fasten it npon them. A voice "That's true." Then I say to you. my fr.eads, close up tbe rank. The common enemy I in front of ns, with a record stained with fraud, and with forced resumption in 187V written npon it banner. Applause. Move forward in a solid column, and as sore a Providenue preserve your live yoa will win the fight nest November. Cheer. Mr. Weadling here wanted to close his remarks, bat the crowd wouldn't have it that way, so he continued, taking op Congress, reviewing it record of reforms and tbe result. He ald it was bnt natural that tha radicals should call them the Confederates for they kad confederated tegether to reform the admin lstration and had succeeded in a measure. HIS CALL A HAPPY HIT.
