BEN HARRISON IN CHICAGO, ‘The appearance of Gen, Den Harrison bee fore a Chlengo audience lust night reeatls the fact that he, more than any othor single man, was responsible for the nomination of Gen. Garfield Jast.ane, ‘The consciousness that he was, in acertain sense, to be hell to n strict account for that nomination by the people of Indiana spurred lm to speetal exertions tn the campaign just concluded, Ie stumped the State from end to ond; met tha cham- pions of the Demoeracy on thetr own ground,’ and helped very mueh to put tho whole party to rout. As he took a good share of the bur- dens on himself, so lo has been rewarded [1 the general distribution of * praises. The only question concerning him now seems to be whether he shall represent Indiana in the = Unlted States Sen- ate or in the Cabinet of Gen, Gar feld, and the opinion of those who kiow him best, both at homo and fn other States, isthat ho would ben credit to hls State, in elther capacity, The speech of Gon. Marrison last night was in some respects tho bust that fins been heard in Chicago durhig the present enn. paign, It was thoughtful, earnest, and sin- cere, Gen. Harrison disdalns mere artifices of speech or rhetoric, Ils style is plain and direet, almost homely, ay th the merit of his speech partly lay. 'fho speaking was never over the heads of the uudlenes, Every man presont understood every word ‘of It, Desides, the argument was aided so with anecdotes and witty allusions that the Inter- est of the nudience was held to the end. ‘The faet that the Republican party has untted its fortunes with the prosperity of the country and that the Democratle party gains: strength from the adversity of the people was well brought ont, In 1878, when every political meeting was full of imen out of work, Demoeratle speakers delighted to dis- cournge thelr hearers and to. drive the iron into their souls, ‘These orators declared that they would get much worsa before they got better, and the Democracy was the party of Discotragement. When Resumption and Prosperity caine In spite of them and thelr wishes, they said the Lord brought it, Mr, Harrison was willing to admit that the Lard dla have a hand fn it, but he believed the Republican party was the divinely appointed agency through which the Lord worked, Referting to the currency of the country and the credit due the Repudtiean party for devising and maintaining it, Gen. Iorrison rected attention to the fuct thatit is he only papermoney thie country lias ever known which can command par in coln in Europe. The effect of tho Indiana election on tho price of Government bonds showed, in his judgment, how {ntimately the credit of the Government fs bound up with the sue- cess of the Republlean party. ‘The speaker «welt, also, on some of tho more familar aspects of the (aril question, and seemedito have the entire synipathy of the sudienve with his views In thls respect, But lus discusston of tho Southern ques- tlon, trilé as it Is In seme hands, was the best part of his speech, The country can survive, he well sald, a revenue tarlif; it ean 6yen recover from the use of a bad ens reney; but tteannat permanently exist tf It snuetions a polluted ballot-box. As to the- charge of seetionallsm, Gen. Marrison said he had noticed that the party which now controll most of tho North, ond pronsed to give ‘the support of all the Northern States t Garlield, was proudest of the eisblems of Natlonallty, and most anx- fous that the fag should cover the wholo country, Landers challenged Porter's asser- tlon in the Indians jelnt debate that “This {sa Nation.” Gen, Harrison anid: “I donot belleve that any man ever wilt he Governor of Indlana who does nat know onough to know that this ty.a Nation.” ‘The speech will be found tn full tn this ts- site, and It will repay a careful perusal, 1 explains and justiies the great popularity of Gen, Hucrison in Indiana, and indicates ono ofthe men in Atmerlean polltles who have very bright futures before ther SENATOR BAYARD ON GREENBACKS, An enterprising young Democrat, who composes Washington letters for tho Lndian- apolis Sentinel, has divulged the fisetleutars ofahorrible consplracy, deeply concerning the peace, welfare, and prosperity of the whole country, According to this young person, weampact has beun formed between Gen, Garfield, Secretary Sherman, and -the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States the purpose of which Isto demonetize the legal-tonlers a3 soon as possible after the dth of March next. We presume that the Juvenile correspondeng is himself a party to the coment, Otherwisy It would not be possible for hin, or anybody else, to have so. complete an understanding of arrangements whieh from the nature of tho case must bo strictly confidential. ‘Tho demonstration ig. complete elther that the Supreme Court Ins. been in consultation with the Sentinel news- papor reporter, or that his alleged report of Ms Jutentions was pumped from his Inner consciousness, ‘The probabilities weigh somowhat henvily ngulust the veracity of the Sentinel’a Bole mian. ‘Time and place have been wanting for the formation of the conspiracy whieh he so minutely deseribes, ‘I'he Supreme Court hos been widely‘sehttered, and, being three years behind in ils business, has not hind ample lelsure to cook up plots or designs with Presidential candidates siycu the Indl ana nuit Ohio clections, rov.aven to how than out In drough kort of way ns works ofthe imagination, Genggerileld, who 1s not yet Prestdent, has been pusaing the pertod since sald clectlons quietly at the little village of Mentor, O, Hou will doubtless bo surprised to learn that, whon he becomes President next March, “ho will fave tho Supreme Court completely under his thinnb.! ‘The Secretary of the ‘Treasury, also, may be anazed to learn that he has been colloguing with the members of the Supreme Court, and instructing the moat dignifed and learned Juriste In this country or the world how thoy ought to decide grent constitutional ques- tons, No man in the country understands bettor {han Gen.

Serlous argument is nlmost out of place in tho cousidpration of the cock-nnd-bull story like that which the enterprising young man from the Indianapolis Sentinel hus concoot- ah ‘Thoobject of ity plain, Itis intended tonctas a buffer, and destroy the eifect of Baynard's Cooper institute apeeeh, which openly and boldly committed not only bine self, but tha Democratic candidate for tho Presidency and tha party ttself, ns far as ho could, to the very polley which tho Sentinel's young man, after belng taken Into the conil- dence of tho Supreme Court, condemns, Bayard's speech hurt the Domocracy In In- alana badly, and dt fs not Ikely soon to be forgotten there; bul, for the benefit of tha Sentinel, we reproduce afew sontences from it, Mr. Baynrd sald in Cooper Institute, the ulght of the great Tammany demonstration in New York City, Sept. 23, In the presenco ofthe “big Injuns’” and responsible men of the party: .

We want the resumption intended to be secured by the resolution [ofered in tho Renate last December [to take awny tho legal- tender quallty of the gre nee Tt waa a resolution right om tho nnclont pathways of the gonatitutional Democracy, withirawing from tho ‘Troasury-notes when pald and redeemed at tho Trdastry any power of cuforced legal-tendor when relesued, Ifit were true that the Supreme Court, Gon, Garfield, and Sceretary Shorman were plotting to destroy the greenbacks, the De- mocracy, 8 thls specch of Senator Bayrrd shows, would have nothing to complain of, That tho greenbacks ought to bo destroyed, Is, Mr, Bagard, “the true doetring of the constitutional” Democracy.” Tancock believes It, ha says, English belleves it, he says. ‘The editor of the Indianapolls Sentinel must belleve It himself or cease to be a Domocrat, according to tho samo high ou- thority, Senutor Bayard in the samo speech de- elared that tha Republlean Congressional enucus at tho Inst session of Congress sat down on his resolution to take away the lugal-tender quality of the greenbacks, and resolved. unantmously to let those Treasury notes alone both as to quality and quantity, <== || THE DANGERS OF A CHANGE.

IIaneaek was In command of the District of Louwistana he Intd aside his ariny uniform, “appearing tn tho streets and on all public occasions in eltizen’s dress, giving as his ren- son for so doing, when questioned, that the people of New Orleans did not like to acc the United States uniform on thetr atrecta.” Dithedolt? ‘Chis is the ‘first question.’ Somo patriotic Democrat will indignantly deny that Gen, Hancock could have been gullty of an net so mean, and denounce the story ns a enmpaign He. But there ts very strong clreumstantial evidence In support of tho charge. ‘It enme out in this way: A‘ correspontent of the Philadelphia Press re- membered to have seen 4 poem on the sub- Ject published at tho time, and recalled a few nes of the rhyme. Ils communteation be- Ing published fell under thoeyeof theauthor of tho poem, who still preserved the orlginal manusertpt of it, from which ha madoa copy for the Philadelphia Presse, where it again appears, Itmay be assumed to be a fret, then, that fn 1868 the people of New Orleans “did not Ilke to sce the United States unl- form on tleir streets.” Why? Obviously beenuse they wore disloyal to the Govern- iment represented by tho uniform. It Is equally obvious that In stripping off his uni- forin every time he appeared on, the streets or In any public placo Gen, Hancock gave an expression of sympathy with the feeling of disloyalty to the Government which he rep- resented, Ina word, he was more desirous to defer to the rebellious people of New Or- Jeans than be was to maintaln the honor and dignity of the Nation. In nis tent or nt his headuuarters he wore the National uniform agnsyinbol of the power ho exercised by virtue of tho Constitution of the United States and his oath to support it. But when he passed outof his tent or loft his hoad- quarters he meekty doffxd his uniform, in order tint ho might show to tho people whom he was sent to govern that he had no more respect than they had for the blue elothes which he wore in tent and camp. Gen, Hancock is nots modest man, He strongly resembles in character the man whose namo he bears, who was once dubbed “fuss and Feathers.” He js then proud, a8 9 inan, of his blue coat, rigs buttons, and stars. 1c inust. therefore, have bean inoved by a power- ful motive to strip them off when he ap- peared In tho streets of New Orleans, What wns that motive? Plalnly a desire to plense the Rebels of Now Orloans, And it was ns clearly wrong for © United States army offl- cer to defer to the feeling of disloyalty of the people he was sent to govern as !t was for o peovls who had surrendered to the Nation he represented to Indulge a feeling of distoyalty. ‘The mere fact that Gun. Hancogk stripped oft his United States uniform whenever he ap- peared on the strocts of New Orleans may seem atrivial thing, Butwhen the motive of tho act is considered It becomes a thing of soma Importance, To hate tho United States twniform was a very disloyal thing In tha peo- ple of Now Orleans, But to defer to anid nurse that feoling of hate was an {ntinitly meaner thing In Gen. Tan- eock, who had worn the uniform, and been paid for wearlng It, all “his life. Judge, then, how powerful must have been tho motive of tha man who did this mean thing. Gen, Grant shows what Gen. Han- cock’s motlye was, Ho tears open tho unl- form with which he was so ready to trille, and exposes to public view his heart, until the whole wortd Is abic to see lurking there tho ambition to be President of tho Nation whose colors he stripped from hiy unworthy person whenever he nppenred on the streets of Now Orlouns! 4 ‘Witn that fatal vote of the Domocratic Con- vention of 186! behind Nim, Gen, Hancock had constantly before hhn.a vision of the Presidency. This distorted all his views of tnen and things, Doubtless he was blind to the terrible effects which were to follow his coqnetting with tho ‘disloyal mon of Now Orleans,—the subsequent assnsinations and inissneres which disgraced Lonistana aud tho whole South, There was no prophet at hand to warn him, but his evil genius con- stantly whispered {n his car, ‘The Presiden- ey, the Presidency! Hnd there been at his elbow an Elisha to say to hin, as Elisha of old snid to Harnol, “I know the evil that thou wiltdo unto the children: of Isrnely thelrstronghold wilt thou set on fire, anit thelr young men wile thou slay with tho aword,” Hancock would doubtless hnve re- piled, ns Inzael did, * But what, is thy serv anga dog, that he should ‘do this great thing?” Ho did it, nevertheless. He stripped off the uniform of the Government whose aWorn servant hoe was, and sneaked out upon the streets humbly, luaving bonind in his tent tho Insignin of the Nation’s majesty, —lenving It in oberlience to tho dictation of hia country’s cnemies! No explanation can rosette the act fromthe bad odor of moan- ness, Ashamed of hia untform!
