Cannon, “*the Op- position claime ‘that new tesucs lind sprung up which the Republican party had failed to mecet; that the Democratic party was dead, and ap- pealed strongly to Republicans togo with them aud form a new party, Thousands of good Re- puablicans, sated with contfnued succeas nnd grown Indlflcrnnl, belleved them and went off; men who stood by and defended the principles of the party in its carlier years, and who scem- cd to feel that it had fully accomplished its migsfon. The election came under theso cir- cumstances, and it scemed a8 though a whirle wind had swept aver the country., After an arduous_compaign, however, I was elected, I went to Washington. For the first time since 1860 the Republican caucus to scleet oflleers of the ITousc of Representatives was held in the Judiciars-room. We wended our way up the winding stairway to that room, and, in half an Tiour, find dmflmn!cd the routine duty. The reaction which swept over the country had com- pletely changed the political conditlons, The overwhelming _Opposition et in the hall of the House ond hekl {ts caucus. You had been told in tho canvnss that tho Democratic party was dead, and you were Jed to belleve that this new party would be the Opposition, But what was the result? = The same old Democratie party came to the front, reinforced by sixty-clzht ex-Confcderate Coloncls and” Generals, and nominated a stralght Democratic list of oflicers. Where were the Independental I asked of John R. Eden. tIdon’t know,’ he replicd, Old man Campbell, of LaSalle, yoted for Blll Anderaon for Speaker, and Rill Anderson voted for old man Campbell for &peaker. [Laughter.] Afterward Campbell sald to me, very solemnly: ¢ We Independonts made a mistake; we ought to have held o caucus and caat our vote solid for one man.' " [Great laughter.] Mr. Cannon then gave a graphie and humor- ‘ous- description_of the halt, lame, and blind Democratic rabble which llclred arganize, was penstoncd upon, and ran the lnst. llouse of Rop-*| resentatives. Aud _all this time, he said, the hurd-tlsted, houest Independents of Tlinola be- Yoved the Democratic party to be dead | Per- haps it was dead, but” to-day it exhibits alarin- dog vitality while 1t plays the same deceptive otfey upon the uususpeeting voter, and stands [orthi In all its hideous deformity.” As Mr. Cannon was talklug to a farmer audlence, largely compnsed of Peter Cooper men, he made careful allusion to the inferlority of the party as demonstrated by the late can- vass {o Imd;nu it only carryiug one salltary Jtownshlp. “On election day,” sald he, *the Democratic Indepcudents went to the polls burraling for Peter Cooperand Harrlngton ard stealghtway voted for *Blue Jeans? nnd the Rebel Detnocracy. The honest Greenback Re- publican way cheated, then, as the honest vater of cvery Luo hus uiwnyn been clicated, by the Demoeracy, when he has boen coaxed or bu.
