Chairman and Fellow Citizens: The election of presitTent is always a very important event. People are in the liabit of saying of each successive election that this is the most important of all. I cannot say of this election that it is more important that some elections which have preceded it. I will say that it is a very important election, and that it is not dwarfed in comparison with any election I have ever participated in 01 witnessed, and I have come to think that it involves certain very serious considerations. You all know my antecedents. You all know that I have been a Republican from my earliest experience in political affairs. I have been an original Republican helping to build the party, and I entertain the same sentimentj to-niiiht upon the issues which were in existence when the Republican party was formed thr.t I did then. I entertain the same sentiments tonight with reference to the war and slavery and kindred subjects that I have til ways entei taiued. There in no change in me in that respect. I will not say that there is no change in me. To say that one will not cl ange is to say that a man never grow; and never acquires knowledge. So far as my political semunents are concerned in this election, and the controversies which have t.ken place, there is no change. I came here to-night for the purpose of addressing, not only Democrats and Republicans as party men, but to address every individual as an individual within the sound of my voice; to talk to his logic; to his sense of manhood; to his independence. For if there ever was a time in the world when a man should exercise his independence, and should follow his own convictions, and not a party as a machine, it is when he is about to go to the polls and cast a rote for president of the United States. When the Republican convention met at Cincinnati, I hoped, but I confess somewhat against my convictions of what would take place, that Benjamin II. Bristow would be nominated; or, if not Bristow, sorc.e other mau of equal strength of character, bolaness, integrity, and manhood. He was not nominated. Mr. Hayes, of Ohio, was nominated. I know Mr. Hayes very well. I served with hira two sessions in the house of representatives. I respect him as a very clever gentleman, and I have no doubt of his integrity. - But you all know how Mr. Hayes was nominated. It was, to some extent, a triumph of tie better elements of the Republican party but to a small extent, for he was, at last, nominated really by the Canierons and the Mortons and the ConkIing3. . They constituted the... great .bulk r of his strength. They are the men, and that is the character of the party which put him in nomination. 1 know Mr. Wheeler very veil. He is a. very clever gentleman, -l fair abilities and cf integrity, no doubt. lie has served in congress a number of years, and while serving there he has chiefly distinguished himselr its the clwirman of the Pacific railroad committee, reporting bills and voting, on almost all occasions, for measures which would extend the franchises of the various Pacific railrocids JLd. their brandies, and give them gr?.ter privileges. So far as the personal character of these two men are concerned, I am not here to assail them. I waited for the convention at St. Louis; and I confess to you roy first choice would have been Judge Davis, cf Illinois. Applause. I hoped the convention would nominate him. Second to him, I do not now think of any men whom I should prefer to Samuel J. Tilden. Cheers. As the president of this meeting has alre;uly told you. the people want reform. Who is Samuel J. Tilden, and what is his record, that we should pin our faith to him as a reformer? In the first place, my fellow-citizens, he is a man of brains. As a lawyer he has stood for a great many years in the very first rank in his profession in the whole country. In his own business he has tea successful. In the business of his clients he has always been successful; It is charged against him that he lias aui issed a fortune. Well,

I presume that is so. But r. man who is caiable through the strength of his

own brains in the laborious profession of the law to amass a large fortune has evidently some capacity. It is no ob jection to roe that a man has acquired a fortune of this world's goods by hi-? own brains and strength of character. so he has acquired it honestly, as I Imliev o Mr. Tilden has acquired his. His public record is not a very long one. It commenced. I believe, so far as the country knows much about it, with the prosecution of the Tweed ring in the city of Xew York. Mr. Tweed was a Democrat, and so were the most of his confederates. Tilden was in the foremost rank of the citizens of Xew York who prosecuted that ring, and brought its members to condign pun ishment. Without Samuel J. Tilden's aid and vigorous co-operation and sagacity, probably they would never have been convicted. This fust brought Mr. Tilden into prominence, not only in the city, but in the state of Xew York, and the eyes of the whole country were turned upon those cases. So monstrous -vere the frauds and thieving that the f ame of it had spread throught all the land. By the prof ecution of these men he acquired a national reputation. Mr. Tilden, in his prosecution, so addressed himself to the favor of the people of the state of Xew York, that two years ago he was nominated for the office of governor of that state. He ran against a very prominent and a very popular man, Gen. John A. .Dix Mr. Tilden was elected by a large ma jority. That shows the esteem of the people, and of the state, and of the city of Xew York, for Samuel J. Til den, at that time. The people who knew him face to face, understood his motives and his conduct. There had grown up in the state of Xew York another ring larger than tho Tweed ring. It extended from one end of the state to the other, and it was known as the canal ring. It had been in exis tence a good many years. It comprised Democrats as well as Republicans. It extended all through the state from Albany to Buffalo, and in every town and hamlet it had its members. Mr. Tilden was but fairly inaugurated governor when he began to turn his atten tion to this ring, and the result has been that he has brought the members of it likewise to condign punishment. Many of them are serving their terms in the penitentiary, while others have ran away to escape like fate. Xow this canal ring had been Jin existence during the administration of Gov. Dix and during the existence of former Republican governors. It had been growing and strengthening and rooting deeper and deeper, but no governor ever had tho courage to attack it until Srtmuei - J Tilden "Was" inaugurated governor of the state of Xew Y'ork. Cheers. This arrayed against him a good deal of opposition in that state among the Democrats themselves. But while it arrayed against him the opposition of thieves and rascals of both parties, it gained to him the respect and friendship of many men outside of the Democratic party, as it ought. Y"ou frequently see now, day after day, as I do, quotations in the nayes' papers, from papers in the state 01 Xew York purporting to be Democratic papers, denouncing Gov. Tilden. Those papers from which these extracts are taken are the canal-ring papers. They are the papers whose editors and proprietors have had their toes mashed by Gov. Tilden in his prosecution of the canal-ring. This is the same character of opposition and denunciation that Mr. Bristow raised up while secretary of the treasury, in the prosecution of the whisky thieves in the country. I have no personal acquaintance with Gov. Tilden. I do know Gov. Hendricks of Indiana, the nominee for vice-president. I served in the house of representatives while he served in the senate. Indeed, I have known him since 1S57. When I first went to Washington he was commissioner of the general land oflice. He had been, before that, a member of the house of representatives, and after that he was six years in the senate of the United States, and since that time has been governor of the state of Indiana, and is governor now. He is a man of brains and a man of integrity. And right here I wish to deiounce a statement which I. have seen going the rounds of soma of the Hayes" papers, that Tilden and Hendricks sympathized .with the South during the rebellionThat is not true. Cheers. Mr. Hendricks as a member of the United States senate universally voted for all the measures brought forward for the vigorous prosecuMon ot the war. He always voted '.r supplies for carrying it ou, and if his record was not such, these papers which are denouncing him would find it in The Congressional Globe and parade it to their readers. Tilden, before the war, was a barnburner Democrat of the Wiliaot proviso sort. In other words, he belonged to that party which ran Martin Van Buren in 1S4S, upon the free-soil Democratic platform. Tilden did not stand firm with the Democratic party of tie nation at that time. His tendencies were too strongly in favor of free-soil, and freedom in the territories. He had the independence and courage at all times to avow Aheso sentiments, and on one occasion he receded from a 6tate con ven Lieu at Syracuse because that convention adopted resolutions in opposition to the Wilmot proviso. Mr. Tildeu throughout the war was a war Democrat, just such as many of you were throughout this country. He held just such war sentiments as those Democrats who enlisted in the army and helped to fight the battles ef the country, still maintaining their attachment to the party. That was the character of Samuel J. Tilden. All these statements that Tilden and Hendricks favored the South during the rebellion are simply false. Cheers.

So to ich, my fellow-citizens, with reference to lie candidates thems Ives, and their positions before the country. I will ;idd another word right . "lere; While Mr. Haves s without reproach

in hi privateer public character, and is, as I believe uiai to be, a uiau of in tegray, i.e is not a U.uki. I do not think he possesses either the charac ter or brains or that character of inde pendence which is necessary to consti tute a leader. His characteristics are of a negative quality. His popularity is of the available color. Xot that he has ever done anything, but that he never did anything. Xobody can say aught against him, because he never did anything that was particularly prominent to t.ttack. While as a boIdier he served faithfully, so did many here before me serve just as faithfully, who are not on that account fit to be president of the United States probably many of thern. While in the house of representatives, probably his votes were all right enough, as he voted with the Republi can party, yet I do not remember any particular thing that Mr. Hayes ever did in the house that attracted any attention. As governor of the state of Ohio I know of nothing that is particularly great or that evinces very much independence of character or leadership that he has done. If any gentleman here knows of anything of that sort I would be happy to have him announce it. In fact, Mr. John Sherman, who first proposed the name of Mr. Hayes for president, some time ago, in his letter said as much. He said Mr. Hayes as a soldier had never particu larly distinguished himself, but he had always performed his duty very well. While as a member of congress he had not done anything rerrfarkable, yet he usually voted right. As governor of the state of Ohio, where the governor has very little to do, stripped as he is in that state, of hisperogatives, he perfoimed his duties with regularity and diguity. Y'et there is nothing particu larly manifest or striking to attract the attention. It was for that very reason that he was taken up and nominated for governor by the Republicans when Mr. Taft was the most prominent cancidate and I presume much the abler man. The convention which nomi nated him got at loggerheads with reference to some decision Judge Taft had made concerning the public schools. At the right moment Hayes' name was brought forward again and they compromised upon Hayes. So in the national convention at Cincinnati. When the convention was all by the ears for Blaine and Morton and Conkling and Bristow and Hartranft and the others, at last to beat Blaine they compro mised on Hayes. Hayes to all intents and purposes i- compromise candi date and nothing else, while Mr. Til den, on the contrary, to all intents and purposes, wa3 the leading strong can didate of the St. Louis convention; a man of immense power and promi nence, daring and courageous, and whose name is the very synonym and emblem of reform. Cheers. When the news was brought to Til den of his nomination, he said that the politicians sanctioned it and it wras the voice of the people. He said " it means reform and reform must be the watchword of this campaign." He starts out with the impetus of reform; he ha3 shown by what he has done that he po- sesses the courage, sagacity, and independence to strike at rascality wherever he finds it whether among Democrats or Republicans. Xow, so far as the platforms of these two parties are concerned, I have very few words to say. The truth is plat- ' forms are made to catch votes, whether they be Republican or Democratic platforms. Xow, we have seen that in Republican platforms heretofore the Republican party has gone iuto convention and solemnly resolved that the party should do a certain thing and then it has as deliberately and as sol emnly gone right away to congress and done the opposite thing. The Republi can party four years ago in the na tional convention that nominated Grant resolved in favor of civil service reform. My God, what a civil service reform you have had for the lest four years! Cheers and laughter. At Cincinnati, the other day, they repeated the same farce. They resolved that there should be a reform of the civil service. There is much difference in these two pla form3 upon many ques- I tions. Both j jrirties have resolved in J favor of reform and the civil service. Both parties resolved in favor of maintaining the constitution in all its parts and the union in all its entirety. Both parties resolved in favor of reform. Well, the Republican party resolved in favor of reform four years ago all over the United States, besides the civil service. There is much difference between the two platforms upon the currency question. The platform at Cincinnati does not demand the repeal of the resumption act, while the St. Louis platform does. When Gen. Hawley, chairman of the committee ou resolutions of the Cincinnati convention, reported the platform, there was a minority report offered. I have forgotten the name of the gentleman who presented the minority report. Ue moved to amend the majority report by a resolution demanding that the government enact, such legislation as was necessary to enforce the resumption act and carry out its provisions. Gen. nawley took the stand and declared that , he was opposed to it, ind that they wouid i.ot of course embrace th's proposition which had been presented by the minority, providing that it be carried out. Gen. Hawley moved that this amendment be laid upon the table, and the convention, by a very large majority, tabled the amendment. It had not the boldness of the convention at St. Louis, to say in so many words, 44 We demand the repeal of the resumption act." But

in effect it mean about the same thing. Of what v.r" is the res um pi ion act, if you do not -ctrry it out? The Rf publican convert?: on at . Cincinnati told you diliberately.Uiat they would notdotiat. If the f Mumption act iriot to be enforce ' then it simply stands upon the statntr book, as a dead letter and an oltriiction to business. The merchanis and bu-iue men, ai' 1 capitalists, do not know what day congress may ekter repeal the act, or attempt to en fori it. Therefore, they are afraid to einfcark their capital in business. If it is nt to be enforced, then let it be repealed and not remain on the statute luniks a hindrance to business, and a a deli ...n asd a snare. There is little differeiK-j in ,,he platforms upon the subject of, tariff between the two parties. Thu Cincinnati convention resolved i f.ivorof a ..pm-r tective tariff. How 11 '".'-' M . the, Chicago Tribune, euib- 'w it is by a free trade man, can siif jort that platform or its nominee-, I cannot see. The St. Louis convention resolved against these discriminating dtitU-s, which is a species of robbery called a protective tar ff, and which has so protected our laboring men in this country that they are now going off in ship loads to Europe to find, something to do, and where they jean get better wages. Upon that question, . if upon no other, I am for the platform of the St. Louis convention in - preference to that at Cincinnati. Cheers This, with a few generalities-jn the Cincinnati convention platform with reference to m vintainin.a; the rights of the people, constitute about w all there is of the twophtforms. M?ut,as I said, let no man in this crowd jin his faith to the platform of an convention. After you have read the platfofrn oyer, then scan and scan more minutely and critically the man who stood upon it. There is the rub. Who ; is the man upon this platform, and who is the

man upon that? There L where you are to confine your observations as to the sincerity of these reforms. It the men who stood upon and behind these platforms, and who are to carry it out, that you are to depend upon. Xow, my fellow citizens,.we have a pretty good idea in this country of what the country needs. It "is not necessary that I should occupy your time in telling you there" has been abuses in the administration ' of the government. Y"ou all know - it. He who runs may read-' You .may learn much in the history of the last half a dozen years of the enormous , rascali ties that have been perpetrated in our administration, and of the immense need there is for reform. ; ' . While the Cincinnati, convention .was engaged, on ita platform it df-tlared stroncdy for reform, but they rav we will reform within the party. Xow, my friends, I want to 'say to jrou to night that a party which ha been long in power continuously camot re form. For two-thirds or tbree-lcurths of the party may be honest'men and in favor of reform, and yet it -cannot reform. It has always been so since the world began. It has been io in every state and in every country. It requires a fresh organization. It requires a new dynasty. The nomination of Bristow at Cincinnati would have been the inauguration of. a new dynasty. For the very reason he could not be nominated. You could not nominate a man at Cincinnati who would inaugurate reform. It wa3 not in the power of the convention to do it, therefore Mr. Bristc v wa3 crowded out. Gen. Grant, among the other accidents of his administration, got Mr. Bristow into his cabinet. lie did not suppose he was a man of the strength he proved to be. I do not know how he happened to get him in there. At the time he was appointed it was regarded then as au accident; !but he developed his real strength tand Gen. Grant found after a little wljule that ho had an elephant upon bia hands; he had got into his cabinet an earnestf honest man. Cheers. Mr. Bristow commenced earnestly and! honestly with the single purpose of j attending to his own business and thfi business of his office, and to ferret out rascalities in the internal revenue bureau of the government. lie tinned out the detectives that had been employed there and appointed others! lie appointed a new attorney for the treasury department. lie took hi3 men and set them at work. They very soon developen frauds and whisky rings. lie set to work to prosecute them, ;ind where the district attorneys were weak and not to be relied upon he employed others. It did not take lo!g to run this strain of thievery right straight to the portals of the white house cheers, right to the presidnts own table, and caught his most trustworthy and confidential members of his kitchen cabinet. All the power of the administration outside of Bristow was immediately set to work to clear Babcock and these other men. Cheers. Orders were issued to the district at torneys throughout the United States that they must not receive the evidence of conspirators for the j-urpose of convicting officials. They must promise no immunity to a man who has turned state's evidence, , for the purpose of breaking them down and for the purpose of irtlueucing the prosecution pending in St. Louis: Reports came up to Waahinjtoc that Bristow must be turued out of' office, for lie was raising the devil 'with the Republican party. Your Logan was mad, and he got up tiere in the senate. Bristow was threatened to le kicked out. sThen there came up from remote districts a counter-protest saying, "if j-turn out Bristow, it will make him 'president; it won't do at all nntvl af:cr the Cincinnati coprenti-n; you v. .'.l l ave to let him' run his race until -;r the Cincinnati convention." Xow --.re enn see how the Republican part? rfcrmesl itself; did it keep Bristow iL. re?

Tney met in the Cincinnati convention and Bristows name was presented in the convention for the candidate for tie presidency, of the United States. After the convention adjourned and J'ristow was not nominated he was kicked out of t' e cabinet. There was not strength enough in the Republican party of the Lrnited States to keep Bristow in the cabinet. Xow what do yon honest men sav, who have been voting anl who have been taught to believe that there w as danger of another war what do you think of the Republican party that h;is not strength enough to keep an honest man in the treasury department? He and all of his assistants have been unceremoniously thrust out of the government. A Voice what's that-got io do with tlty-s?, ; . . i.' ..- V '; -' . ':.l'K rariisworChVTha that '.il do with Hayes Y fhis man wants to know. Well, I don't know, if you can not see what that's got to do with Hayes, that I can enlighten you. It see.nf. to ma you must be a little blind. If there is not enough union in the Republican nation to keep one honest reformer in your cabinet, what will Hut same party do when you get Hayes for president? Cheers. Is Hayes such a man and has he such gigantic nerve and independence that he is going to throw aside all the leaders of the Republican party ; all your Mortons,' all your Blaines and your Hartranfts and Conklings and Logans and Ben Butlers, and all the rest? A Voice That's what I want to find out. Mr. Farnsworth So you see that there was not strei.-g'h enough in the Republican party to retain one reformer in the cabinet of President

Grant. Xow. that is not the kind of m -n or the kind of party we want. Grant has not been f ully to blam,- for all that has transpired. It has been the men behind him who have done this. If Graut, with all his stubbornness, couid not keep one honest man in his cabinet, what do you expect of the Republican party hereafter? Wnile Mr. Bristow goes out of office, Babcock, the man who barely escaped the penitt rtiary for his complicity in the whisky ring, and who is to-day un der indictment in the city of Washing ton for a. conspiracy to burglarize a safe he is kept in office in that city to-day. Cheers. While Gen. Grant relieved him from service as secretary while he still continues him in service as engineer and' superintendent of public buildings, and grounds in the District of Columbia. As such he disburses hundreds of thousands of dollars. .Xot oilly ihis,':brjtt Oen. Grat continues him in his position of colonel of engineers in the army. In view of all these facts' I could stand here and talk to you for two hours upon the subject without exhausting it. I could tell you of many things similar to the Babcock case. I have been occupied in public duties from time to time and am acquainted with public affairs. The other day Gen. Grant nominated Fisher for United States attorney for Delaware, who had been thrown out of the city of Washington for his complicity with the Boss Shepherd conspiracy and various other crimes. I know that the Hayes men are in the habit of saying Gen. Grant is not responsible for these things. 1 believe sincerely, however, that he is in many respects culpable. Xow I say to you, for Gods sake let us have a president who is either responsible or who is not. We do not want a president whom we shall have to exculpate one day and blame the next. These men will sometimes say Grant is not to blame and then they will turn round and say that it was Grant that did it and not the party. I want to see a man in the white house who has got tho strengtii of character to make himself responsible for the actions of the executive, and such a man is Samuel J. Tilden. Cheers.J He will take no counsel of your Babcocks and your Boss Shepherds and your Fishers and Williamses and your Caieb Cushings and Ben Butlers. He has brains enough and logic enough and courage enough to take counsel of his own convictions and to follow them. Cheers. That i3 what I want to see there. I want to see this responsibility brought down, pnd fastened somewhere. Xow, my fellowcitizens, I said a while ago a party could not reform itself, while in powerThe intentions of a party -must be itheredfrom its sects. Xow it is true that if the Republican party shouTd go out of power to-day and ten years hence obtain power again it might produce a reform. It would then come in acrain fresh from the people. It would see where reforms ought to be made, ?nd it would then trtad upon its own dust. The concur rent history is what we want. It is what we are all desiring to-day. We have seen this winter the house of representatives voting appropriation bills and sending them to the senate, and the senate refusing to concur, and they are hanging to-day in a dead-lock. The house has retrenched and cut down the appropriations about $10,000,000 less than the appropriations of last year. I read in to-day's paer that Senators Moril!, Logan, and Morton had taken umbrage at" the action of the house, and had declared that the house had gone beyond its prerogatives in cutting down appropriations and changing existing laws. Heretofore there has been a rule in the house of representatives that on an appropriation bill there should be no legislation' charging the laws. That has been so that ' congress could not diminish or abolish f the office of an individual. The! senate has had no such rule, and It ha3 ! been their universal custom to tack on I such amendments changing the exist- j ing laws aj they saw fit This year? the house changed its rules providing that amendments should be in order

J upon -he appropriation bill, which was

J done in the intei est of economy. This i istrutiou. I remember the Gsht we I Vicing adopted, when the legislative j made against what e called the ex- ! and executive appropriation bills came j tra vagrant appropriations, under the I to l- considered they cut down tKe j lead of John Sherman, who whs then

; salaries of all the officials a'oout the departments. They cut down the. salaries of members of congress and oilicers a certain percentage, perhaps 10 p r cent, They sent that bill to the senate. It appears that the house naa a; onsriea a good many unnecessary ' positions in the government. The senate refused to concur. They did not . put their refusal on the ground that those appropriations were absolutely necessary, or that the gov ernment could not get on without them. The senate stood back on its dl.nity and refused to concur in the bill beeau.se those useless officials hail beeivciit'off TheVxt' fused to" concur lieeaufe the house had; changed tin existing law. .' 'Logan said yesterday that this, was clearly nullification and revolution. Xow I want to know if Mr. Logan don't remember when that salery-grab bill was ' passed which increased the saleries of members of congress, judges, heads of departments, and the president of the United States which wj.s put into the appropriation bill by consent of the senate, that he himself voted for it? It is the same appropriation bill the executive, judicial and legislative appropriation bill. The senate concurred in the amendment then raising the salaries, why can it not concur in the amendment now cutting them down? Those appropriations have not been made in haste. I have looked them over and I believe they are amply f ufficient for carrying on the government. They are larger than appropriations foi similar purposes before the war. The salaries of members of congress were increased in those appropriation bills from 83,000 to 85,000, at the same time decreasing the mileage. Why? Because then it cost a man a good deal more to live. Gold was up to 200 per cent. The laboring men in the city everywhere who then had been getting 1.50 a day got 82. to 82.r0aday. If there ever was a time in the world when it was proper to cut down these salaries this is the time. Under the present law we pay the postmaster of the city of Aurora 84,000 a year. The government pays it. nis salary has not been reduced until the present house of representatives proposes to reduce the salaries of postmasters as well as others. The salaries of your own workmen and cleiks in the city of Aurora have been reduced. Does it require a higher degree of talent to I e a postmaster; ibri to run. a bauk?i.Xou have jruvch important business in the city of Aurora and many good m;n employed here. You have shops and business houses. I know that many of your workmen here have been deprived of wages. How rnuch your wages have been scored I don't know. I have no doubt they have been reduced within the last 12 months I have no means of knowing; probably from 25 to 50 per cent. Xow the house of representatives only propose to reduce the salaries of officials so that men receiving 81,200 a year shall be reduced some 10 per cent. I think. The senate stands back upon its dignity and says it shall not be done. Logan says this is revolution and nullification. Laughter. Well, it was not revolution and nullification to provide in the appropriation bill that the salaries should be increased from 85,000 to 87,0 X), and and that the J-alery of President JohnFon should be increased from 825,000 to 850,000. The house of representatives has passed the salary and diplomatic appropriation bill. In that bill the salaries have consolidated some countries. Where ve have had two or more ministers they have provided for one, like some of the South American states, w here we have no relations or commerce. Those offices have most of them been put on within the last few years. In flush times when we had plenty of money, and when some leading politician wanted to go to some out of the way place and do nothing. We have provided for a minister to Congo who must have a salary of 87,0 .0 or SS.000 per annum. He goes there and the people pay him. Xow what is being done? The house of representatives, fresh from the people, have provided that they shall be abolished. The senate upon its dignity stands up and says, "Xo. sir; we will not abolish these offices. It is highly improper for the house of representatives to provide in an appiopriation bill of the abolition of these offices.". Xow this brings us right back to the proposition which I set out v, ith, that the party in power can not reform itself, because the moment you start out to abolish these offices throught the United States, that moment you set about turning Republicans out of office, and that won't do. The party in power can not abolish themselves or retrench without hitting their friends; and the howl goes up from one end of the country to the other: "ForGo-i's sake don't touch me; go on to the other fellow." Your senators, who have a good many friends in the official positions, of course will not vote to abolish them. This friend who is now engaged on a salary somewhere, at work for the government, wiil come home and immediately turn lu and work against the man who votes for abolishing these offices. It was just so when the Republican party had been in power. The Democratic party came into power a lor.g time, ar.d abuses had grown up, but they never grew up so fast as during the war. The Democratic j arty having been in power, as I said, these abases had grown up. When the Republicans cane into power they saw where they stood. They struck them of. I remember very well the last

congress under the IVni'Tratic aduiin-

I the chairman of the committee on i ways, and means, who tivk the-ground in the house that it was the prerogative of ths house to originate the appropriation bills. The constitution has provided that that . b fanch of the legisJativs? department freshest from the people shall originate all these money bills. That I think is a wise provision. And no man was fiercer in his denunciation of the right of the senate to h:oe this so than was John Sherman during the last congress uiidf r the Democratic administration.. We cut down the appropriations then forrarryii!g oil tin govuJWiwif' la $&),- OCoXcto, arid we thought that was e.tnnagant'."" And ti&vf we nre approiu iatiug 81S(V.'00.000 every year. AU the expenses of this government increased from 1873 to lS74-'5 some 8S.OCK),ooo or SlC.000,000 each year, with Mr. Garfield as chairman of your committee on appropriations. To maKe this as plain as daylight I saythat if there is to be a reform in any government, it must conn from a new dynasty. There must be a change. Rings must be broken up. The rings will not break themselves up. They must be smashed from some cutside force. My friends, I presume lam tiring you, and probably am speaking longer than I ought. " Go on. Go on."J I told you a little while ago that the best kind of history from which to draw inferences as to what men will do in the future is recent history concurrent history. Xow, if the Republican party had done these things it has been doing a good many years ago, and had then stopped doing them, we might have supposed that the reform was sincere and honest. But when the party is in power to-day, and doing these things right along before your face and eyes, is that not a pretty plain indication that they will continue to do them? This party has turned out Bristow after all his efforts in the prosecutiou of the whisky ring. It has dismissed all his agents, who assisted him in the prosecution. What does this mean? It means that there will not be another whisky prosecution during this administration. Mark my words. Watch your papers. You will not see another whisky trial. They will, one after another be dismissed, and the men ' in the penitentiary will be pardoned out. .The thing has stoped. The honest men who were in the administration have gone out with Bristow, and a new set of inen trave TJeen called In to" take their places. You will have no more prosecutions. It was not originally intended that the Republican party should carry this on. It would not do. What assurance have you that after the election of Mr. Hayes there will be any reform? He certainly is not the man to effect them. The men in power are the men who should be reform ed, and Hays will continue them in power if elected. We have no right to expect otherwise, for certainly nothing the man has ever done would stamp him as a reformer. There is nothing. He has no such exalted abili ties as Bristow, ar.d he has not his independence. There is no evidence of it, I think. Then where must we look for this reform ? Certainly not to the Republican party. Onr Daughters. In one of her lectures, Mr.s. Livermore devoted considerable time to this question: " What shall we do with our daughters?" Some sensible person, who has thought over and through the subject, answers the question by these plain and wholesome suggestions. Teach them self reliance. Teach them to make bread. Teach them to make shirts. Teach them to foot up bills. Teach them not to wear fabe hair. Teach them not to paint and powder. Teach them to wear warm, thick shoes. Teach them to wash and iron clothes. Bring them up in the way they should go. Instruct them that a dollar is one hundred cents. Teach them how to cook a good meal of victuals. Teach them every day, hard, practical, common sense. Teach them how to darn stockings and sew on buttons. Give them a good, sensible education. Teach them to say no, and mean it; and yes, and stick to it. Instruct them to rard the morals, not the money of beaux. Teach them to wear calico dresses, and do it like a queen. Instruct them in all the mysteries of the kitchen, dining-room, and parlor. Instruct them to have nothing to do with intemperate and dissolute young men. Teach them that a good, round, rosy romp is worth fifty delicate consumptives. Teach them that the more one lives within his income, the more he will save. Teach them that the farther one lives beyond his income, the nearer he gets to the poorhouse. Rely upon it, that upon your teaching depends, in a great measure, the weal or woe of their after life. Teach them accomplishments, music, drawing, if yoa have time and money to do it with.- j Instruct them in the e sentiils of life truth, honesty and uprightness then at a suitable time let them marry.

The "House of Public Comfort" is rapidly growing into favor with visitors, as it contains all the title implies. " The beauty and magnificence of the

The lacquered work of Japan :s said to be almost indestructible, owing to the superir-care.vllti which the manufacture is accomplished. The Japanese educational exhibit presents a strange combination of charts and pictures, which are highly interesting to all who study them. Among the curiosities of the Woman's Pavilion is an enormous "dish-washer." It awakens bright hopes of emancipation from this disagreeable occuxation. A mathematical genius has calculated that by giving five minutes to each Contibutor for five hours a day he could survey the whole Exhibition in twenty-three years. By giving one minute to each contributor the Exposition might be viewed in five years. Miss Anna xluerback exhibits in the Woman's Pavilion a beautiful spread, composed of white satin lined with rose-colored silk. Seven thousand skeins of embroidery silk were required bp make the 1,500 rosecolored and white roses with which it is ornamented, and each rose has 74-1 stitches. In Machinery Hall a Virginia tobacco manufacturer has several colored men employed to illustrate the process of packing tobacco, who indulge in singing old plantation songs for their own amusement. This singing has become one of the chief attractions in that part of the building, especially to foreigners and visitors from the Xorthern States.

Ten patroits were shot in the leg, seven in the arm or hand, six in the head or neck, and three in the body. There were eighty fires, at a loss of 824,000; but then centennials don't come evey day, and a little fun once in a while is indispensable. Beginners. There must be a beginning to everything, and first principles in all vocations. One who undertakes to carry on any business should have studied and practiced the rudimentary parts appertaining to it. Some say there are no innate ideas ; and if so, then learning and practice are necessary to the attainment of perfection.' . Learn, then, under competent instructors. Observe successful practitioners, and take a pride in your calling. Guessing does not succeed better in farming than other callings. Industry and perseverance are as essential, and should be practiced until they become habitual. Study the character of the soil, and find out its constituents; find out what cereals succeed best on it, and if rear ing and grazing cattle, together with feeding, will be profitable, and will tend to keep up the fertility of the soil. Of course good cultivation is indispensable, and always procure the best manures, and a sufficiency .of them. You will be most likely iwardcdrafteryou have done your part. There always seedtimes and harvests. are Be ready for them. There is a difference in being in time and too late " time and tide wait for no man." By being forward with your work, you may have the consolation, if there be a failure, it is not your fault. Be watchful of the seasons; they are not invariable. Find out also what is needed in the market Some things ni3y be easily raised, but not readily converted into money. Keep your stock in a thrifty state. Know what a laborer can dodo no require too much of Lim; see also that he is sufficiently provided for. When directions are given let them be clear, and be satisfied when they are punctually attended to and well done. Recollect that all animals are ncsn and blood, and require a sumoiency of food and shelter to protect them. By taking good car nt s. p.emv-ats they hist longer; the same might be said of everything. Don't be satisfied with half doing, but only with well doing. Keep up u5e credit of your calling, and recollect that a man can reflect credit on it when it cannot on him unless he does his duty. " Honor and shame from r.o condition ri-e; Act weii your part-time tbe glorv Iks." Good farming pays; farmers are the bone and sinew of the land. Manv callings nourish that are not exactly uuiapetiaauie. i.et agriculture go down and the tillage of the ground cease, there would be an end to all worldly glory. Money and all its worshippers would be small by dees and beautifully less." Go ahead ; faint hearts never succeeded American
