Following is o full report of his able and convinelng apeech; MR. CHAIMAN AND FRLLOW-Cir1ZENS: It has been my pleasurs, for every political canvass of any natlonal importance aince 1861, to address the Republicans of this growing and this very beaut!ful clty, and I by no means feel that I am among strangers, for us I look abont X see those whom I saw on the first occasion 1 ever visited Aurora, who have stood with me during thoss long and terrible years of the War. 1 sco those whonover faltered when dangers of the most scrious character threatoned us. I sce those to- night who, after the War had closed, wers os resoluto that the frults of our victory shonld bo gothered and garnered o8 they wore that those offccts should be, in the first Instance, achioved, I sco those who have slways been Republicans ever sinco thers has been a Republican party, and who always will be Reopublicans ns long as thore is n Democratic party, [Cheers.] When I am askod, a8 I sometimes am, TOW LONG TUEREPUBLICAN PARTT WILL LIVE, Isay It will livo atlcast one electlon after the final and eternal death of the Democracy [loud cheers},—for solong ns the Democratic party keeps above ground and exhibits any signs of vitality, 80 long is the existenco of the Republic- on party o military necesslty. [Clicers.] It will not—this Demnocratic party—always cn- dure, for wo arca great evangolizing and mis- slonary ngency. Weo began tho good work of converting that party in 1860, and wo have been pursuing that purpose atcadlly and persistently and unwaverlogly ever slnce, Thousands and hundreds of thousands of thoso original Dem- ocrats hovo been converted to Republicantsm and arc now safely within the ample folds of tho Republiean party. A few are still uncon- verted. Gus Harrington has still o stiff neck, [Laughter,] There afc others {n the county of Kano ond O.hrothout tha natlon that need the evangolizing spirit of Republicanism, Ever since 1300, gentlemon, the Democrats have been Tn 1604 they pracieadly Bdopted oar prattorm of > r 18003 in 1t '}.huy m{ma «‘mrplutto‘x’-nr: olrlmw-ul' in 1873 they adopted our platform of 18083 an in 1876 they havg adopted our platform of 1873, It works weil. (Laughter.] Itisn hard pull; it 18 o long pull it s astrong pull. *They are obstinate, but so thorough is my belief in the wer of truth that I think Mr. Harrlngton and ohn Farngworth may be aguin both back in the Republican fold. [Cheers and lsugltar, Bpeaking of convorsfun, just think of it: TIIR DEMOCRATIC PARTY 18 OPPOSED TO STEAL- NG, aughter.] In 1870 this party, whose rccord s ong of tho most stupendous and gigantic Iar- cenfes cvor charged up againét a po- litical organization, solcmnly dcclaro that the; aro oppostd to larceny.

(Lood chevrs.} In tho naturo of thlngs the Demo- cratle party must uxpect to face dts territlo record. It conies once every four years beforw the pouple of this country, and domanda their recognltion and contidence, 1t certalnly cannot demand tho contl- dence of thls people by what it proposcs ta dao in the future, for it Is noceasoaily 8 party of violated promlsas and broken lfaith, It cannot demand the confidenco of thia people by what it has done in tho past, for §ta career has heen a blood-stafued and do- atructive carcer, [Cheers.] No Individual asking the confldenca of uicn has a right to complain that his_protestations of good conduct in the future lllllf be compared with hiv bad conduct In the past, No politleal orvnlutlun has greater or higher clalma upon this untlonullty than tue Individusl would possess.

The platform of tho Democracy says: “ We, tho Democratie dele- gates—." 1t Is important to get that In, for page after page, and page after page follows in denunciation of the Ropublican party and fn the demand for reform.

But let usgo on with the platform, When tho platform ceases to be ridiculous, It will be- ,como false, as I will show you “We, the Domocratlc dolegates," further say ‘*reform fis necessary to establish a sound currency.” What dots that mean? Don’t they lko our currencyi Do thoy waut to abolish the greenback and go .iuu u he Clt back to the Btaf bank aystem? Do they want taabolish the Natlonal Bank note? The cur- rency §s sound enougl; nohody complalus of that, The simple question is as to the time and manner for the reaumption of spccle payments. But wo will goa little further, “ Wo de. nounce,"—licro {t comes ngain. " We the Democratic party,”—* the faliure.” That hias a fumiliar sound. In 1864 [ remember Mr. Til- den denounced anothicr fallure. For lustance: Reaolved, That thls Oonventlon does explicitly declare as the sense of the American peoplo, that after four yesrs of fallure, ete. Bo you see that 18 & favorite word with them, In 1876 they *denounce the fallure for all thess eleven yeors to mako good the promnise of the lcyinl-lmnh:r notes, which arc a changing stand- rd of value In tho hands of the people, and the non-payment of which is a dlumgnr(l of the PII zhted folth of the natlon.” "Then “fi“l“l 't We,"—the Democratie delecates—': the financial {mbecility and {inmorality.” The DEMOCRATIC DELKOATES TALKING ABOUT PINAN- CIAL INMORALITYD . What in the name of all the gods arc we coming to when the peaplo of this country are to learn lessons of morality from the Demogratic partyl “Wo—tho delegnivs thn Jewmo- cratic party In Natlonal Convention as- imbecility and Immorality of that party which durlng cloven year 0f peace has mada no advance toward resamption and no preparation for resumption.” The simple troublo with this ia that {s just aa false ns it cun be, ‘That is all there {s sbout it.
