THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES.. at the first proclamation of President Lin- coln, the troaps ‘e called out to retake and repossess the United States in the prop- erty which had been seized from them, and to exccute the laws. After reviewing his career froin 1860 to 1865, he continued: teen years since the War I have acted witli the Republican party in the hope that they would extend that pro- tection to colored men South that Ideemed ought to be done. ‘1 tried to get it done in Congress, but it was not dane.» I fought the campaign for ayes in 1876 to have that done under a promise of platform and party lead- ers that it should be done, and what was the lu?) The very first act of Hayes’ Admin- istration owas to turn over the States of Louisiana’ and South | Carolina, where it was claimed that there were Republican Governments elected by negro votes, or else: Hayes was not elected. He ave the Governments so elected over to the Jemocrats, and from that hour forfour years no one thing has been attempted to be done in behaif of the colored men, nor indeed any- body else. There has been, it 15 true, a little attcmpt to stop the iicit distilling of whisky ny in the South, and few men ha nht and let 20; and-some men have Deen killed by lawless distillers, and their murderers have not been punished, so that there has not been the proper protection. for the men whe live down there, That being tu, in the best interests of the South and best interests of the colored men, I propose to have a change. If the Republican. party cannot. vrovide. this protection in sixteen years, Ldo not propose to try them twenty. Gen, Hancock has said that he will enforee the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Ainendments iu their letter and spirit. No- body whe knows fim will doubt that he will sian by that if elected and given the power, and nobedy doubts that the Democratic party jias the will to protect the negro if they get into pow Their great leader has said he will do se. 1 propose to try this experiment for tour years, and then, if the Democrats cannot do better than Hayes has done, L fuali turn round and help kick them out at the end.of the four.years. One thing is cer- thin: ] cannot be more powerless during the next four y to give the colored men roper projection than J and every otherman das been in the past. . ., 7 THE FLOPPERS, : In the evening the Republican floppers’ meeting was held in the old City-Hall, and fully 4,600 persons were present. “There was a grand torchlight procession outside, and an overtiow meeting at the foot of Fifth ave- nue and Liberty strect.

Butler was then introduced andspoke asfoliows: , ~ 5 ‘The attendarice in such numbers, and the enthusiasm, show that the occasion is appre- ciated, The.gathering is to select a Presi- dent of the United States. - 1t is only in this free and happy country the privilzge is ac- corded the sovereizm people to select a ruler. He would cast aside personal vituperation. Nothing is gained by- hard words or hard things, or he would have been dead long ago. {Cheers.] Hie regarded this as the must ac- reptable time for a change in rulers, as long cuntinuance in power by the Republicans has made the party corrapt. -In -1500, .when Democratic party, divided, , the’ Union was not divided; men’ of. both parti¢s flocked: to the front. to protect the flag. He contended that the Democrats ‘and | not the Republicans, fought the War, and ad- duced statistics showing. that in certain Southern States the whele number of sol- diers in the Union army reached 232,000; in the same States were 24,002 Republican voters. The balance he-concluded were Democrats. ‘The negroes voted for Lincoln’s second election; so did he. -It was no time to swap horses. Votes were cast for the Union, and he believes when he votes for Tiancock he wit] be voting forethe Union. He did not ask the nationality or religion of those who fought for the Union, and should not ask those questions if they are ready to vote for the Union, “'T. i vent Into. the War at the ‘cdiintty’s call, “But 7it“ was hard to get the Republicans in after the Dein- ocrats had shown the way. There were more Republican officeholders in the army.. Re- publicans say it will be dangerous to change rulers. Let them show the danger, and we will march again and teach them one other lesson in patriotism and loyalty. {Cheers.] The safety of the Union depends upon the Democratic party, the union of the North, and South, and East, and West, and it will be as the sun. Republicans claim ‘to Lave-brought the present prosperity. but the speaker thought that Providence had pro- tected the Democracy when Sie party dic not e care ot itself... During the past five ars the crops have-been.so large. we nave been feeding Europe, and money has been flowing . rapidly . into our cuifers. He admitted for the sake of argument that the Republican party gave them the crops, but asked did they destroy the harvest of Europe? In 1873, when the dark di of financial distress were ha- rassing people, the Republican party was passing legislation to put tramps and idle workingmen in. the penitentiary. Four years aga the Democratic party came into sawer, and there are no tramps. Providence as overruled affairs and given Prosperity. We have to thank the Republican pariy only for the bankruptcy which made the tramps. On the greenback question, he said if. the Republican. party claim the jng it up, Who will take the shame of bring- down? [A ‘voice, he Republican. party.”] He said instead’ of Democrats repe uling the tariff Jaws,- American Jabor would be more protected than ever, and if Hancock is_ elected. there will be a Bureau of Labor Statistics in Washington. ‘The Republicans want te stay in power to protect the negroes of the South. They have been in power sixteen years without afford- §ng that protection, and are not to be trusted any longer. Republican statesmen were sent South not 16 instruct the negroes how to vote, but how to count. Muine had elect; ed Plaisted, but he is to be counted out.

Tee Sikes and her affairs - are’ once .mora’ the. leading objects of European “interest. - Public’ attention “is centred on ‘the naval demonstration at, Dulcigno, from. which . the — slightest spark might - light up the flames of war throtghout-the «Eastern, world. Ifanything is proved by the pressure which has been brought.to bear on Turkey, it is the duplicity-and mendacity of ‘the Porte. It-is difficult to call the crew of selfish con- spirators-at Constantinople a Government, but it is probably the truth.:. The Sultan js -timiid and incapable, and though he is one of.the most despotic of ralers, his conduct is as vacillating and timorous’ as: that.of the Stuarts, or, still-Inter, of the Bourbons. Like ‘them, while never “gaining.'a step towards the objects in view, he continues, nevertheless, by selecting unscrupulous Min- isters,to have his‘own unsteady way, but the result must end in the destruction of the Empire. Turkey has now no friend inEurope. ‘Every nation is busily making preparations for her approaching downfall, Even En- gland, at*one: time pledged to the lips for. the “integrity ‘and independence of. the. Ottoman’ - Empire, ~ receives with satisfaction’: Mr.- Gladstone’s declaration that, unless ‘Turkey governs in the East in atcordance with European princi- ples,—that is, ceases to exist,—Turkish integ- rity and iridependence must shift for them- selves. Itis proved that the Albanians have all along been instigated from Constantinople. ‘The outbursts of Mahometan fanaticism in Albania have always corresponded with- the strengthening of the Sultan’s: nerves. Riza Pasha, who was sent to carry out:the cession of Dulcigno to Montenegra, has been giving every assistance. to.the insurgents. .. He has assisted in- transporting supplies, .-pro- vided them ith arms, and encour- aged them to drill. under his very nose,. though . their avowed object is to thwart his pretended mission. nally, his soldiers have gone over to the insurgents. Riza himself is now a prisoner in the hands of the Albanian chiefs, who, naturally doubt- ing -his sinccrity, have condemned: him to death by way of start, and are ready to cut his throat should he show the least disposi- tion to disobey them. “kde THE NAVAL DEMONSTRATION. “The Vienna papers, persistently endeay- ored to nake.out that France would not take martin the naval demonstration, When the rench ironclads turned up :they asserted that they would not: act with those of the other Powers, .All this is absurd.
