Gen, Bingletou then cawe forwsrd and pro- oeoded to cotor uto a historicul dotall of the fall of the Demooratio party. TFor ton yearspro- vious to 1872 that. party liad boen demoralized and obstructod by tho vacitintion of lncompetont and irresolute leadors, but 1hio grand tatustrophe of the party eatan with the Bultimoro iZonvontion of 1872, when Mornce Groeloy, thio greatest malignor of the Democratio party and, their prin- ciples, was wonkljy indorsed as o candicdata for the TProuidonoy of tht, United Blatos, Lok ud fullowod that fnnoral marcli, and had eoon tho tomb closo upon the znrly.

Ho #mothorod up his arguments, such sa they wers, in a mass of Biblical quotations, wingularly out of pince in such » discourso.
