Taking the ground that as the Independent or People’s Movement (so called) Was not sufficiently general to change to any extent the general current of political action, the contest is still between the Republicans and democrats, and on 6 of these two parties will sueceed.in the approaching election. The speaker stated that peculations and frauds proceed from men whose private Jives are not free from stain, and on that head he could congratulate the present incumbents of the State.offices, that even~their political enemies testify to their 'Uprightness, morally .'and socially. On the grounds of what they pose to” effect: Their reccord is in tire past; and the posft-ion’they-held-on the great questions of finance, education and morality, as compared with the Democratic party on these subjects, they are entitled til the confidence and suffrages of the people.— The doctrines held to by the’Democrats effectually prevent a solution of the-questions of corporate irreguiarß: ties and cheap transportation at their hands, hence the solution of these questions.devolVe upon the Republican party.
