Gketch of Blue Jeans Williams and a Sample of His Oratory. HOW THE GERMAN VOTE WILL BE CAST The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash. THE SMILING COLFAX AS HE IS Exemanr, Sept, 16, 1876, “Blue Jeans” Williams, democratic candidate for Governor, supported by Dan Voorhees, dubbed by the Bxtravagant fancy of the West, “The Tall Syeamore of the Wabash,’ has been moving through this region Mixes flaming torch, kindling wherever be pauses a great fire of enthusiasm among the democratic tarmers, He is greatly admired by the rural popalation and greatly despised by the towns’ folks, I saw him this morning with bis horny hand spread over the whole page of the hotel register and be was cortainly a curious sight to Eastern eyes, He appearea to stand over six feet and his face bore a striking resemblance to that of Abe Lincoln’s, Some republican scribe, in writing bout his mouth, evolved from the depths of his malignant fancy the conceit that it was put on ‘warm and spread all over his countenance His mouth is decidedly large, and when ne laughs, which is at very Fare intervals, it jeopardizes the comiort of his ears, He is a gaunt man like Lincoln and as bomely as a snake fence. He hasa thin hatchet face and an un- even and an unpleasant complexion. In repose his expression is sorrowful and meditative, his mouth wearing ‘‘a grim and awful grace.” His tall, lanky figure jurmounted by a wide-brimmed soft hat, and ‘aken in connection with his singuiar limbs, which seem to be all gnarled, and his slouching forward galt, reminded mo taintiy ofa cocoanut tree ina gale of wind, I studied for ten minutes or so tho expression of his eyes, which gave mo the idea that ho w: kindly-hearted man witha fair share of intelligence und shrewdness, ‘BIs “BLUE JEANS,” at which all the nobs and snobs of this Western coun- try have levelled their bitterest ridicule, appeared to me a most respectable and becoming suit, The blue ig of a quiet, subduod tone, like an intensified Confeder- ate gray. It is a very superior quality of jean, as I was informed by a dry goods democrat, who actually took hold of it on the person of the candidate and rubbed it between bis fingers to seo how much cotton was in it. Had 1 not heard him laugh once or twice I should have gone away with the impression that he was liko a great reformer of centuries ago—a man of many sorrows. In this, too, the resemblance to Lin- poln (the most melancholy looking man that ever lived) struck me forcibly, Like Linooln, too, he is no orator, but a great relater of anecdotes, In fact, his speechos consist of little else than a string of stories of which he ts “reminded.” From my notes of his Speech at the gathering of farmers to-day 1 give you his specimen of his style:— WILLUAMS’ STYLE OF ORATORY, “T am astonished, fellow citizens, at gentlemen com- 4ng among you who want to be though: respectablo gmaking such statements ss Mr. Morton and Mr. Sher- man have made, I mean such charges as that of a democratic Congress wanting to pay the rebel debt. ‘We have enough to do to pay our own debt without paying anybody else’s, Why don’t they talk to the ins? Why don’t they explain how they disgraced Soa country with such people as Babcock and Bel- Knap? y, &man can’t go out of this country to- and he 1s an American without hanging his for shame, They say we done nothin’ in Con. Well, what we did do is a pill they don’t care to swallow. We brought in a Secretary of War guilty Of stealin’, and the reason why we didn’t try any more Of them was because we wanted a new jury; an’ that feminds me of the story of a man indictod for stealing hogs before a traverse jury. His counsel told him it ‘was no use goin’ on with tho case; that everybody knew he was guilty, and it would only be a waste of Bime. ‘Well,’ said the man, ‘You just go on with the @aso and earn your moncy. What difference is it to you whether I am guilty or not, so long as you get your fee?’ So the counsel went on, and the jury, to his great astonishment, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Hoe went to his cliont and sald, ‘That's more nor { expected; how do you account fer it?’ ‘Oh! oasy enough,’ said the chent, ‘Every man of that jury had some of that pork.’ So it is with the republican Senate of the United States. Every man of them has had some of that pork, an’ that's how i is we found out no more yellow jackets than wo did “yollcw jackets? aro little stinging bees). Now, fellow citizens, I want to talk to you about someo’ the savins’ we made. 1 tried myself to stop as much sicalin’ as could, and I believe I saved to the tax- payers abous $30,000. You havo heard of McPherson, who was clerk of the House. Well, he usea to draw out lst of the contingent expenses under the head of stationery, and there were moro things put in that list than you ever dremt of. Ihad to go through McPherson’s list an’ that rominds me of the story of the ola preacher who found ‘Ole Dam Tucker’ in the hymn book, an’ as his principles was to read everythingin the book he ri ad thatand sung it too,’? Here Mr. Williams read McPherson’s let of sta- tlonery and dwelt upon the fact that knives wore put down as stationery, though ‘ays thought they were included under the head of hardware. ‘An’ thav” said he “reminds me of a story of a manI once sent with some projuice to town with instructions to the merchant that proy was consigned to to give him whatever ho wanted. When I Baw the merchant after he me a Dill with on item in it tor ‘a gallon of hardware. It was a puzzic to meto know what that meant till the merchant said, ‘I guess, Mr. Willis 8, ‘hat gallon of hardware means a gallon of whiskey.’ The other day John Sherman, in a speech, took oxcep- Mon to what my friend Mr. Voorhocs said about tho tepublican administration patting the country to tho expense of over $500,000,000 a year in taxes, and that 150,000,000 wero miscellancous. I guess that ‘mu cellaneous’ was like the gallon of hardware. Tho money went, anyhow, and we have got to make it good,’? EYFRCT OF 113 SPEECHES. The foregoing specimen of Mr. Williams’ style of Speaking may be very poor, but its effect ona raral wudience is surprising. His pat anecdotes were ap- plaudew to the echo, and as the man never smiles his tmusing stories have all the greater zest. There is no guestion about Will: Millers of the soil are the backbone of the State. INTRRVIRW WITH WILLIAMS, {had an interview with Mr. Williams in his ho hotel prior to his attenaing the public m¢ then the following conversation ensue “How @’ye do, Mr. Williams ?’* “Well and middiin’, both, thank’ee,”’ said he, tretching his legs away over the carpet, till his great et projected upward in the centre of the room as dis- fant outposts to the rest of bis anatomy, “I’vo been travelin’ and taikin’ night and day for quite a bit and I feeia’ sort o’ iazy. Traveiin’ don’t agree with me, Qnd if it wasn’t the fact that the people @ shown so much kindness everywhere and the crowds to our moetin’s have been so 'thusiastic, and everything looks so bright and hopelui for the democratic ticket, I think it would ha’ most killed mo,”? “Well, Mr. Williams, I have been, I must confess, as |nxious to Kee your suit of biue jeans as to see your. self. Now, tell mo honestly if the republican papers are correct In saying you wear these things for mere effect to catch the granger vote?” Uncle Jimmy laughed with bis eyes and ears (a most remarkable phenomenon) and pathotic enough to mitigate the among Tepublican oes 7 in the county where | was raised they nover wore anything but blue Jeans for many, many years, 'cos they could get noth- ing better to wear, Thero wasn't a store within a hun- dred miles of us that kept cloth or tatiors’ fixina. Wo made our own wearin’ track, and we thought it no dis- grace neither. I larned all 1 Know, though 't aint much, im ciothes made of blue jeans T Jarned to be fair and square with every man without the help of broadcloth and jinen shirt bosoms, I went a coortin (here the old man’s voice actually forgot itself and trembicd) in blue jeaus, and nether she nor the minister objectea to parry me on that account when the time came. | un’ho as I ueed say as much, but the happiest days o° my lite were passed without ever carin’ to exchange y home made jeans for New York or Injianapolis fashions, and (’d be ashamed o’ myself if 1 was to go back on them now because a lot o’ little minded jack- asses think ft to sneer at them,’’ ere the speaker's voice took on a ‘tone of earnest fechng, and ho grasped the knees of his blue jean pantaloons as Meh 1 they were old ‘and very dear friends, dearer now than ever because of scorn and persecution. ‘Perhaps, he went on, fff Hobuylor Vollax had been, weating blue Jeane he wouldnt ha’ wanted any Crédit Mobilier.

Don’t you know that fine boases, fine ciothes and fine everything make some men fools and oth suppose, Mr. Wiliams, youexpect to be elected Governor? 11 [can say Is.that up to the National Road give me 15,000 inajority.”” (The National Road due east and west through the centre of the State, and Mr. Williams refers to all that sec- tion of country south of it.) a do you think, Mr, Williams, of Morton’s can- vass?"” ‘Well, Morton reminds me of the cheap Jobn fel- lows in our Western towns. People don’t care to trust them, but they go and listen to them anyhow, and per- hapa they invest as far as a skein of thread or a pocket comb, but they don’t goin heavy. If Murton hadn’s a good pair of lungs he would be a very small potater.’” THK TALL SYCAMORE. Voorhees, who spoke. ams, 18a tall, broad shouldered man, head and neck, and with the characteristic A! chin whisker, much like an exaggerated goat’ be ge the hair being a bright brown, inclined to r Voorhees, chastened by time and refleo- tion, has become a sensible and discreet orator, and bis address at this poimt—entirely devoid of his ancient spread eagleism--bad a v@ry good effect. The crowd was large, ana, to all appearance, intelligent and respectable. In a tutare jetter | shall give the sa- ent points of Mr. Voorhies’ address—the points, asl consider, that make most weight with the Western people. BOYS IN BLUR. Indianapolis ts now the great centre of attraction where the Boys in Blue, responding to the call of ex- Governor Dix, are about assembling in tremendous force, but I am iuclined to think the men who fought in the war will bo found only like angels’ visits—few and tar between. THE CAMPAIGN IN NORTHEBN INDIANA—CON- FLICTING OPINIONS ABOUT THE RESULT. Sour Bsxp, Ind., Sept. 17, 1876 ‘The campaign all around this section of the State, the extreme northerly portion, is rapidly becoming red hot, The debatable ground is partly here. Thero are ninety-two counties in Indiana, and of these thirty- seven will go democratic, no matter how the cat jumps, while thirty-four will go republican under like conditions, ‘The balance of twenty-one are doubtful, and {tis with these both parties should have most concern, The whole southern tier of counties, with one or two exceptions, have been, and to all appear- ances will remain, democratic for years, The repubil- can counties are not massed in the samo way, but Scattered to the east, west and north, Republican and democratic speakers, of course, go everywhere— a8 well into localities that are all one way as into those less pronounced and put under the head of doubtful. Tbe State is flooded with orators, and the general ex- ¢itement is unprecedented. The people appear to feel that the cyes of Delaware and the whole Union are upon them, and this degree of uncommon and exalted interest manifested in the result of their action at the ballot box inspires them with pride and ardor in carrying on the cam- paign. The women, and even tho little boys going to school, and, perhaps, for aught 1 know, some preco- cious children in arms are affected with the prevalent .epidemic, Like the heat of a hot summer day, there 1s no escaping from it. In tho hotels, on the stroets, in the cars, in the stores, ayo, even in the sanctuaries of God, politics, and politics alone, aro the rage. With tho progress of the canvass party fecling becomes tn- tensified, Men who were formerly very good friends, but who are now separated by the very thin line that marks the,boundary of the present contending politi- cal factions, speak words of great bitterness against each other. I have had occasion to go among them and to wonder why they failed to blush at the con- scious falsehood and calumny of their language con- corning one and the other, This COUNTY OF ST. JOSEPH was asteady going republican county for twenty-five years until 1874, when it went democratic, That change, however, I am disposed to think, was impulsive and capricious The women crus- aders had worked the Germans up to a ter- rible pitch of fury, and the latter expended this resentment on the republican party because they identified it with the doctrines of the female prohibi- tionists, Whatever may have been the causes that led several hundred republicans away from their allegiance, it ig certain that this county to-day Js doubtful. Ifthe democrats carry it, I am justified in thinking that tho game influences which operate here to turn an old time republican county into a démooratic one may produce a like effect in the other twenty doubtful coun- ties, If] calculated after Cavier’s method in anatomy, that of constructing the whole animal froma given fragment of shinbone, I could easily figare out the ma- jority either party may have in the State by taking the vote in this county for # basis, WHAT REPUBLICANS BAY, Democrats and republicans have given me willing and anxious tongues, te which I have yielded in return an attentive ear, and this is what I learn. As the republicans have a prior claim on the county, I shall give them prior mention:— Mr, N, Brower says he has studied all the local spring elections of this year, and ne finds thatthe tide has turned in favor of the republicans since 1874, when the State went democratic by over 17,000 majority and the county of St Joseph, for the first time in its bright career, by 150, Through the local clubs of the county, which have counted every voter, he is able to calculate on arepublican majority of 250 or 800, and for the State ho estimates, in all sober judgment, a majority of from 3,000 to 5,000. Mr, Alfred B. Miller pats the majority for tho county ‘at 350 and for the State at from 7,000 to 10,000. Mr. Daniel 8. Marsb makos a similar estimate. Mr. Alired Wheeler and Mr. E. Crockett are confident of evon iuller results. Judge Alvord says the county wilt give 400 republi- can majority and the Congressional district comprising ten counties will give Calkins, republican, from 800 te 1,000 majority. ‘I am atraid of the State, though,” said be, “on account of Wolcott.’* “Pray, who is Wolcott?” 4 inquired, “Weil,” replied Judge Alvord, “ho is a man who h been trying to run for Congrees for a number of yei and feeling disappointed, he has bolted the pariy an gone off on an indopendent nomination for Governor with a full State ticke, Wolcott may draw off from us the margin of 6,000 or 7,000 votes we calculated on to carry the State.” y Major O, S. Witherell, an active little ma: P. B, Sweeny in local politics, estimated 350 majority and between 12,000 and 15,000 tor the —“The vote this time ‘will be tho polied, and thamgh the democrats hat $10 this year to $1 they ever before, our success is sure, We haye got them whore tho hair is short, and we intend to hoid them.’”” Captain Nicar was elected county clerk by the lib- two years ago, but he is now acting with the ‘ular organization, and Fh ag 147 the election of Hayes and Wheeler. £x-Mayor Miller, another Jib- a regular el has gone back to the regulars. Also Professor Schroeder and ich Foogley, both Germans, have returned to their firat love. -Mr. Aitkin, a scotchman of wealth and prominence, has coased to bi dent, and works with ‘the regular organiz 4 “Altogether,” said Major Witherell, about 130 liberal republic: have returned to us, and our old a strength is thus restored. We shail carry overy one of the counties in our (the Tenth) Congressional district— Lake, Porter, Newton, Jasper, White, Carroll, Pulaski, Stark, St. Joseph and Laporte. I know what I am talking about, because we have canvassed the hole disirict and our figures are a8 true as gospel. What Peter Cooper men are here are all democrats, and w! you put this and that together you will see that our pro: ects aro as brightasanew dollar. There's Judgo ‘arner; he wasa leading liberal four year: ; how he is for Hayes and Wheeler, and has’ ma for us already.” So mueh for the republican side of the story. Now for the democratic, WHAT THK DEMOCRATS SAY, Mr. John Klingel says:-—“Our German vote will go seven out of eight for the democratic ticket. In the First ward of this city we have organized a club of 225 Germans, in the Second about 200, in the Third over 200, in the Fourth over 200 and to-night we organize in the Filth. I tell you, sir, South Bend will givea democratic majority of 1,200 votes. In this township there are 900 German votes In jormer times all except 100 of these went with the republicans, This time it is just the reverse, German republican spenkers come here and cannot get an audience, There was that drunken Judge Dittennoeter and Hayes, ot New York, who wero sent out here, ard they just’ disgusted iho honest Germans, who want only honest government And bave no time to leten to ‘blooty shirt’ nonsense from such people, The State has about one-fourth of a German vote, and tho best part of that will go tor Blue Jeans Williams and Tilden and Hendricks.” Mr. Van Pelt, a woollen merchant of the town, says:— “1 believe Willams wilt be our next Governor and Tif aen our noxt Prosident.”’ Mr. De Witt Ciinton Rash, City Treasurer, says *—‘‘T have no doubt about the candidates for’ Governor. Williams will be elected, because be is aman of the people, and his majority will be 25,000,"" Mr. Charles H. Murray, ove of the most strenuous democrats in. the country, sad:—"The last spring elections indicated that the liberals would stick to the democrats on this occasion. If they had not adhered to us then we should not have carried the country. ‘The towns are ail filled with democrats, and we can only be beaten im the country through inconvincible ig- norance on the part of the voters, THR SMILING COLPAX. Colfax could’ do no good for the republicans by being here, He has degenerated leartaliy and his chief am- dition now is to preside over a ward or hose company meeting, where ten or twenty men come together. © 18 fast losing his head He jives weil, and is go me very lightly of, ant h howev js delighted that people pay for lgare and bim his meals for nothing, pover ing that they do it from the sentiment attaching to the fact that he was once Vico President of the U States. Colfax has come to be a regular bummer and Fg most of nis time Knocking about the oar re ie Wi left here lately because, as he said to Mt the Postmaster, there ‘was no use remaining, as the democrats would surely carry the State, so went to the Philadelphia Exhibition, a convenient re- treat for most of the alarmed republicans,” Mr, M. H. Bovee, formerly State Senator of Wiscon- id be had nded and spoken betore about fifteen mectings in the district, and found the seati- ment was ponderatingly democratic. He claims the State for th democrats by 15,000 majority, Thus you see there :s an utier division of opinion in this county a® to the result of the vote on the second Tuesday in October. I have been particular in seeing how the German vote will go, because I belleve it holds the balance of power in this State, Mr. Corl Schurz has been a conspicuous failure in so far as influencing the Germans to vote the republican ticket. Several things conspire to make the Germans take their pe ent cou notably the hard times, which they have been br t to believe are attributable to the repub- Mca administration, Alter all I have heard I am dis- posed to th ynclusion that the State will go aemo- cratic by a small majority in October, and by a con- siderable one in November. REPUBLICAN RALLY. HON. GEORGE & BOUTWELL AT THE COOPRB INSTITUTB—THE POLICY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DENOUNCED AS REVOLUTIONARY. As early as seven o'clock last night a large crowd had assembled in Cooper Institute and every minute brought its quota to swell the gathering, The audience that filled the ball was superior in appearance and respectability to most assembiages of its kind, and it was particularly noticeable that tne ladios made up & fair proportion of the living stream that surged through the doorway and stretched off in every direc- tion trom the Institute. Outside, prior to the opening of the meeting, a group of men and a considerable concourse of the youth of the locality gathered in the square, and for awhile there was quite a pyrotechnic exhibl- tion, which had the effect of drawing an additional crowd within which rivalled that. already assembled there in enthusiasm if not in gentility, At eight o’clock the hall was filled to its utmost capacity, even tho byways and corridors boing crowded. Upon the platform now appeared a large representation of prom- inent republicans, many of them escorted by ladies, and, when thoy had been seated, there could be no- ticed among them Thurlow Weed, Eliot C, Cowdin, Charles Spencer, William A, Darling and others As had been announced, the meeting was opened by the choosing of Chauncey M, Depew for chairman of the meeting, and a list of the vice presidents and secreta- ries was then read, It was.as follows:— ‘VICE PRESIDENTS. Edwin W. Stoughton, Noah Davis, Harrison Durkee, W. Greenleaf, Frederick W. Seward, Voinoy King, George H. Sharpe, Freeman J. Fithian, Charles V, Lewis, Alexander Shaler, John J. Morris, George W.

Miller, Samuel G, Acton, Howard Pinkno: James Fuller, James ¥, Freeborn. After the reading Mr. Chauncey M. Depew oame forward and made a stirring appeal to the voters of New York, in the course of which he said that the political outlook was decidedly bright for the republi- can party. The tidal wavo which has swept over the State of Maine’ has left no vestiges to satisty the cu. riosity of those who wished to verify Protessor Hux- ley’s doctrines of evolution. Seriously, however, the men of the country mast cast their ballots according to their conscience, Four years since I did whatI could to elect Horace Greeley, but I can. not understand how any republican of 1872 can help tho cause of the democratic party in 1876, for their candidates are the inspiration of defeat and the offsprings of despair, Lucias N. Robinson in 1864 was so pronounced a radical that he publicly said some man must be nominated strongor and more positive than the mild and conservative Abraham Lincoln, Under Governor Tilden all tho offices are to bo remodelled—the good as wellas the bad must go—ana their places filled with hungry place- men who are tobe let loose on this long sufforing Republic. Tne speaker of the evening was then intro- duced by the president, and the following ADDRESS OF HON, GEORGE 8. BOUTWELI, was received with great applause :— * Lapigas aNd GENTLEMEN—I understand that Pro- fessor Huxley, the distinguished English naturalist, maintains that if the record made by nature in the great volume of the earth was por- fect in all rospects the doctrine of evolution would be demonstrated to @ mathematical certainty. Tho democratic party, however, cep no records; yet the history of the past twenty years bas been full of sig- nifleance. They don’t seem to‘ realize the grents of -day or of yesterday, and these are just fs much matters of history as the affairs transpiring in tho times of Cromwell or Charles L., and without they blot out all history they Ot save themscives, ‘he re- publican party do not propose to lve on its past. Its history is weeif, During those extraordinary crises such as no other party was ercailed on to mect itwas brave, manful and self- sustaining. At the time of the war every true man thoaght tbis government was his government, and thus It was power was brought to the administration and we marched on to victory, If we only arraign th democratic party for what it has neglected to do we should have sufficient matter for this campaign. We are told the party no longer advocat very, that the amendments to the constitution are accepted, but I ask you whether a party which has been for sixtecn yours Tight is to be thrown overboard fora party which has been for sixteon years wrong! Ladies and age there are two circum. stances the republican ah cannot afford to overlook. While Lagree with your President that the skies aro, brightening and the general outlook {s improving, still we must not forget that there is a largo party of young men in the country who have become voters since the republican party have come into power, who do not understend the ot the country, and also thousands of laboring people who are enduring miscry from lack of employment for nearly threo years. Th men must be instructed on the vital and living issues of tho day. First, I believe in taxing the people for public instruction, and then to compel every per- son to receive it, There is a large proportion of our population who believe that to the Ubarch should be Jatt the education of the peopie, but wo believe in teaching the youth to perform the duties of citizons. Wo are to subdue the ideas in which slavery had foundation, and it will depond upon the decisions of the people whether this system shall be good or hos- tile to their interesta, I have studie ¢ letter of Governor Tilden, and to say that 1 understand {t would be a confession | am not prepared to inake, He is, however, as it appen in favor of economy, retrenchment and a wise financial policy. He speaks as it no others had entertained the same thooriesas himsell in regard to the public debt, but this isan error. In the year 1875 it is shown tha the adminigration of General Grant—exciuding pay ments and charges growing out of the war, and est! mating the population ot the country at 43,000,000 0 people —the expenses per capita were $1 43, while un der the administration of Buchanan it was §1 90. Bu if taxation has been high of jate it has been on accoun of 6xpenses growtng out of the war, and that was A DEMOCRATIC BNTERPAISE. The war was pota spasm, a temporary excitement or local disaffection; it was the result of a settled pol- icy made as long ago as 1798, when the extraordinary Proposition was declared that each State was sovereign, ‘equal to every other State, and all the States equal in power to the United States; and when President Bu- chanan recognized this you porcoive the natural and logical proposition whereby the robellion grew out of the resolutions of 1798 There 1s auother mi which I wish to refer in the cours: Itisa subject which to-day and at this crisis in politics needs a cool deliberate fon, but @ subject, too, tbat involves iseues and which demands th zon, I speak of the South, of country we are constantly hearing about on \he eve of elections; of ihat section which basa weight in the balance of power and to which our attention ix particul larly drawn in the coming campaign, Ladies and gen- tiemen, there ts ono Idea ever recurring to the minds of ome of the Southern people and to several ot tne Southern statesmen, and that i the payment of their clams. They have been clamorous in the past for the iT ent of these obligations, incur i States gi be appeasod uniess some , should the demo- eratic party succeed, thero woula be in itaneclement with a settied aim to attain, with a common purpose to jce of Comptroller to have boen the best in times the achieve. That element is sufficiently strong to rule the any imbent of the office democratic party, and it is the olement re; nting cia ot the ee vom ve that South which'ishungoring and thirsting for the #ot- | Gemocratic in’ all timer’ ands under ath eens: Homens of ita claima An this camayry government JA} syascos, Jie nomination for Governor we recard aa the, 'n the bands of many committecs. There aro numbers | of them in both houses, to which whatever com for considet and if not altogether, least partially. Now, executive power dimimishes im exact proportion to the increase of legislative Power, and should the democratic candidates bo elected there will be a repetition of what that party did in December, Tney will have a° caucus, elect » Speaker and have committees appointed, That will determine their powor. And do you not think the committees will echo the opinions of the majority and entertain the proposition that majority would cy them? And what isit? Simply to band over the gov- ernment to those who in 1861 tried to destroy it, Among other things Mr, Tilden speaks of civil service reform. That subject has agitated the republican party and agitated the country. Of it 1 would like to say a word. The of the civil service are pot at all as great as Tepresented, but it is certain that there are some things to change, ana if Governor Hayes be elected do- pend upon tt measures will be taken to correct these evils by administration as well as by legislation. I can give you a chapter of my experience with Mr. Lincoln ‘that will illustrate the care be took in making appoint- ments and the determination he manifested to allow no unworthy or incapable person to hold position under the government, and I honestly believe that Grant has followed his example. It was in the latter end of that August when General Pope was do- feated on the left bank of the Potomac. Jn that dark Period, when there was cause to look into the future with fear and apprehension, a system of internal reve- nue officers was to be organized, to go into operation partially in the month of Septembor and partially tn that of October, The President when the system was first made up was ill and could not attend to the ap- pointmenta, and so, on the Sunday after Popo’: fent, when tho army was driven back op Washington, when the streets of the city were encumbered with the machines of war and the roar of cannon could be heard on the steps of tho Capitol, I went to the President with papers containing recommendations and {acts Felative to the people suggested for office, and for hours there that man sat, worn as ho was by disease im the presence of appalling dangers, and considered tho claims of each applicant for office and passed upon their respective worth. Now what is it tho demacrats propose? To only weigh the capacity of each man for office and be governed by that? Not at all Remember that they gavo usa fair earnest of what they purpose to do when tho last Congress turned out of office any republican official whose removal they could effect unmindfal that they were driving from subordinate positions wuder the government men who bad fought and bled for it, I turn to another question of interest at this time. It is the Southern question. The condition of these States is peculiar, Great difficulties he in tho way of reconstruction in them, but it shall succced because it is right and because justice favors and will foster it, But It must be borne in mind, too, that in effecting reconstruction you are plucking out of the minds of the white population of the South the prejudicos which 200 years have matured. While they have been taught to be- lieve in slavery and in their superiority over their bondsmen they e been devoted to the liberties of their class, and are exceedingly sensitive about any infringement of them. When we raised the slave to an equality with them we did violence to their opinions, and, while they accept reconstruction as un- avoidable, they do not accept the ideas with which it is associated. The young men of the South are vigor- ougand hot headed. They have been brought up to cherish the prejudices of their class, and yet, if Hayes be elected and affairs be judiciously managed in th States there willbe a division of the democracy, and a large portion of the population will reconcile them- selves to their equality with tho colored people befere tho law which reconstraction imposes. Following out democratic ideas, Mr. Tilden recently wrote to the Hon. William Kent that the constitution left revolution organized in the States of the Union, We must trample out this doctrine of State’s rights in the sense that it was taught by the revolutionists of 1798 and their successor, Samuel J, Tilden. During the aaministratign of Gene: nary expenses of th $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 annually, and it would bo hard to tell what the cost of carrying on the govorn. ment would be in tho event of a democratic succe: The Interost on $1,000,000,000 of six per cent bonds has been reduced to five per cent within a short time, and that of $700,000,000 of five por. cents one per cont, so that on $1,700,000,000 of the debt we have saved $17,000,000 annually, Mr. Tilden was in error when he said, under a proper arrangement, the debt could be paid off in twenty-eight years without distress to the people. The Democratic Convention in St. Louis made an error in their financial statements in regard to tho dobdt of nearly $900,000,000, and I have seen somo gravo accounts in the newspapers involving mathemat- teal inaccuracies of Governor Tilden. Some of #1 stories have been denied, officially and semi-oflicialiy, but 1 tell my _’ republican — frien we should not pursue this subject any further, as I suppose in the caso of the party to which | refer all errors would be considered merely mathematical inao- curacies. To return again to the question of finances, in 1869 General Grant recommended substantially the same measure that a republican Congress in 1870 enacted into a law known as the Funding act, the Sec- retary of the Trensury being authorized to issue $500,000,000 of six per cents and to redeem $500,000,000 of five per cents, thereby saving the interest to ‘the Treasury. Mr. Tilden, of course, has not heard of tots, nor that Mr. Morrill, the present Secretary of th Treasury, has actuaily negotiated a loan whieh wi save $9,500,000 annually to the government. In 1860, when a democratic administration was in power, and the country owed jess than $100,000,0v0, a demo- cratic Secretary sold your bonds at eighty-five conte on the dollar, but we have carried up our six, five and four and a half per cent bonds to par in gold. I know yery woilwe have not yet reached the point ot re- sumption, but we have made some progress and Damed a day when we wiil resume, but the repablican party must ti wep backward. In 1860 green- backs were worth seventy-one or seventy-two cente— now they are worth about ninety-one cents on the dol- Jar, and no bonds have been sold at less than par since 1870. Now, I believe in tho revival of business and gradual recuperation; but nothing can be p! if Tilden is elected that an immense majority of men from the Southern states will press claims that will break down our credit and render all business unsafo, BROOKLYN’S DEMOCRACY. MASS MEETING AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIO— SPEECHES OF SENATOR BAYARD, OF DELA- WARE; HON. HEISTER CLYMER, OF PENNSYL- VANIA; HON. GRORGE BEEBE, OF KEW YORK. ast evening the democracy of Kings county helda ynass meeting at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, The doors were opened shorily after seven o'clock, and a general rush for the best scats was made, tho build- ing being filled in every part within half an hour, The Jago «6and «hoxes §«were tastefully deco- rated with flags, and the portraits of Tilden and Hendricks were suspended above the proscenium: The tront of the Academy on Montague strect was brilliantly lightod by clusters of gas jots, and a largo platform was reared near the main entranco for the accommodation of local spoakers. The boxes in tho Academy were occupied by Indies, as were also sev- eral chairs on the stage. Tho meeting was called to order by Samuel D, Freeman, who introduced ex-Senator Henry ©. Murphy as tho presiding officer. Mr, Murphy was re- ceived with loud applause, Ho spoke briefly in laudation of the candidates of the domocratic party, and said wo had fallen upon evil times. The condition ot the country calls for a chango in the administration of the federal governmont, The general depression was due to mismanagement ot finances and affairs gonorally. Fingrant abuses have crept into every department at Washington, and re- form, which bas been inaugurated by Governor Tilden, is demanded in the federal government, St. Clair McKlway, Seoretary, then read a long list of Vice Presidents. A letter from Mr. Seymour regretted that his health would not permit of his making the journey to Brook- lyn or speaking. The name of Mr, Seymour was re- cetved with vociferous and continued cheering, RESOLUTIONS, The following resolutions were road and adopted with enthusiasm :— We, the democratic, conservative, liberal and independent voters of Kings county, in mass meeting assemblé e- el and resol — ' 1.

He said he came to them from one of the old thirteen States of the original Union—from a small State in territory and in numbers, New York eign State and so is Delaware a sovereign State. It was the duty of the ple to cast their votes for the electoral tcket which would in turn be cast for the election of the Prosident of the United States. It was not h urpose to speak to them of State matters, but they new that in the selection of a Pres- ident the States of the Unton wore ail equally interested, :The republican administration had invoked the bayonet of the American soldier to be pressed against the breast of the Ameri- can civilian, If this order of the Attorney General bo based on law he woaid stand by it, but if it is not based on law he would oppose it it be stood alone, ts there alaw of the United States creating a vote! Where, then, comes the right to protect voters in that = a function?

Now, these men under the administration bad openly defied the law and proceeded tu thrust a military arm in the faco of a liberty-loving people and endeavored to con- trol the tree elections of the people, This had been done for the Southern part of the country. It was the same spirit which ied Ben Butler—(hisses)—to send a0 army of men an New York, who placed guns shotted in the streets and infringed upon the conduct of the State election. his idea wan one he begged of them to consider. The vote that was cast tor the increase of the armies of tho United States by recruiting 2,500 men contained every Southern voto in the House, Thero was no such power given to Congress to regulate the registration of voters; that right belonged to the State alone. To seo that you o have tair play at the polls is no part of federal power. Is was A POOR, MEAN NUSINRSS that after a man had fived sixty-tive years, man and boy, in a Stato, with unblemished record, that hoe should be charged with a contemptible petty fraud upon the government in evading the income tax.

Thero is a dobt of the United States binding upon every man and woman inthe country. Thero are also debts of States and of counties and municipalities.

The action of the republican Set ith regard to the Louisiana State election was yd, and it was held that McKnory was elected Governor of that State. Tho colorea Senator, Pinch- back, who had been excluded from the eoat he claimed in the Senate, had actually been paid $18,000 which he had the audacity to claim, and not a republica: Senator was found to ‘voto in the negative against such a misappropriation of the public money. The speaker alluded to the Belknap business, and also spoke of the arraignment of Secretary Delano. He next paid attention to the present political condition of the Southern States, and claimed that the secrot of Tepublican opposition to a free expression of opinion is becauso the South is a unit for Tilden and Hen- dricks, Hon.

The meeting was brought to a close sbortly after elevon o'clock with cheers for Tilden and Hendricks. TAMMANY HALL. The Tammany Hall Committee on Organization mot Yesterday afternoon and appointed a committee to dra(t a call for primaries, tne all to be pablished on or before the 28th of September. and the primaries to be held early in October. No other business of im- portance was transacted. THE GERMANS AND TAMMANY HALL. The following open circular was issued yesterday afternoon to the German democratic organization :— To tne Democrats AND Futenps OF RkFoRM:— ‘The undersigned, hitherto members of the German democratic orgapization, feel constrained, on leaving that organization, to lay before you the reasons which compel them to take that step. The Tammany Hall organization, under its presont Jeader, Jobn Kelly, is no longer a democratic body, but ‘a close corporation which pursuer nothing but egoti: tical ends. That body tolerates no independence of thongh, no free discussion of opinion, and any person who refuses to submit to the will of the one man has no place in the organization. 2 The leader of ie ae nage Hail has, while at tho democratic conventions in Utica, St. Louis and Sara- toga, oppcsed with all meaos at his command the best interesis of the demoeracy and has thereby forfeited the contidence of every true democrat He wiil never again be able to unite the democracy of this city, for no person who has any self respect will submit to his arrogant leadership, & After having treated the democratic German or- ganization for many months with aisrespect and con- tempt, he thought it worth his while on the eve of the election to call them to his aid and secure them for his purposes, This he attempted by intimidation and cor. ruption, This attempt having failed in our Executive Committee, it was with the aid of bis minions again brought before oar Central Committee, and thanks to the assistance of outsiders and repeaters brought to an wsue, The pertidy and want of self respect shown by the President, Dr. August Fresch, caused she mecting to break up in disorder. 4.

But it Samuel J, Tilden, William Dorsheimer and Lucius Rob- inson are the standard bearers of reform for the voters of the city of New York, John Kelly can never be its principal keeper or protector, for he, above all, has Opposed their nominations and has left nothing undone to undermine their chances. For these, among nomerous other reasons, wo must for the present decline to unite with Tammany Hall or ny union with that body. "Ye could only unite with that body if it should become again a true demo- tie organization and nominate only such candidates as would be worthy to be placed on tho ederai ticket— im other words, candidates who represent ti retorm.

HOW CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS WAS NOMINATED Manipulations of John Kelly and Captain Hugh Donnelly. ADAMS AND THE FENIANS, Boston, Sept. 20, 1876 ‘The art of stirring up popular political enthusiasm !9 Just now being industriously studied and employed in Massachusetts, A fortnight ago the canvass promised to be a tame and insipid one all round, but suddenly the circuit has been closed by both parties, ana the explosion which has followed from their powerful bat- tories of eloquence, patriotism and vituperation may be in some respects likenéd to that far more useful and desirable blow-up which is to come off at Hell Gate dure ing the present week. Tho republicans, whom, it would seem, ought to have no real or fancied fears that they would loso the State, havo thus far been more ferce in carrying on tho campaign on the high pressure principle than their democratic rivals They commenced with a brilliant send-off at Worcester on the evo of the late Republican Convention, and froin that moment all sections of the State have either perk odically or continually resounded with the oratory of the best republican speakers in the land. The demoe crats, though a trifle tardy, aro row well up-in the work of dispensing their doctrines, and in a few days some of the star orators of their party will be imported from abroad to take the fleld in behalf of Adams and Plunkett, Indeed, they havo already had Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, of New York, and his Faneuil Hall spegch was undoubtedly one of the most telling of any that the democrats are likely to have between now d the election, “HO8s"? KELLY COMING TO MASBACHUSRTTS. Tt ts given out as afact that Jobn Keily is coming on here from Now York at the bidding of Tilden to de what he can in tho way of eloquence and otherwise ta secure the election of Charles Francis Adam: Whether this would be a wise move or not is a matter of serious difference between the thoroughbred démo- crate and that much-talked-of *independent”’ element which, it is expected, will rally to tho support of tbe Quincy statesman in countless thousands, ‘The latter party aro not enthasiastic over the idea, and they reckon correctly when thoy declare that Mr. Kelly's reputation, which is hore im advance of him, is not of the choicest sore The genuine democrat, on the con- trary, argues that be is just the man needed to unite those disgruntled members of tho party who asso- ciate Mr. Adams with unfriendly acts toward the Fenians while he was Minister to England. Thore are a great many of this class, and both tho independents and the old time democrats recognize that something must bedone to harmonize them, and under these circumstances It is possible that the Boss Kelly arrango- ment may be carried out, WHAT TILDEN AND KELLY MAD TO DO WITH TRE NOMINA- TION OF ADAMS. There has been a great deal written and said about Mr. Tilden and Boss Kelly ¢ictating and directing the proceedings of the Iate Democratic nominated Mr. Adams for Governor hi ceedings were thus managed there is not th doubt, and nota prominent member of the bod; yet undertaken to deny i. Just how matters were conducted has been revealed to a HxRALD correspon. dont, and the facts developed show that throughout tho whole arrangement (from beginning to end) THR TRUSTED AGENT OF KELLY WAS 4 PROMINENT FE- NIAS It may, perhaps, seem al 4 incredible to Irishmen in general that one who bad fought for Ireland’s free- dom should bo selected as the Chiet Director or Head Centre tn elevating to honor and power such a man Charles Francis Adams. Such, however, is the {a and tho man who thus earned ' distinction was Capta! Hugh Donnelly, of Springfield. He was the immediate agent of Tilden and Kelly, and the latter spent several days 10 Springfield previous to the Convention in give ing Captain Donnolly his instrncsions, The arrange. ment was that tbe Captain should get all the Western delegates to go solid tor Adams at all hazards, and of course influence as many of the Boston and Eastern delegates in that direction as he could.- Ho fortified with credentiais*to the effect that the nomination of Mr. Adams (even if he was not elected) was desired by Mr. Tilden, for it would encourage to success their party 1m ch States as Indiana, Connecticut, New York, Michi- & Wisconsin and New Hampshire, and it would also ring to their ranks armies of dissatisied republica: throughout the whole country. The arrangement worked tom charm, and when the delegates began to flock into Worcester it’was clear that two-thirds of them were solid for Mr. Adama, The opposition members were for Gaston, of Boston, but they were knocked out of time by Gaston himself coming w the front and declining in favor of the Quincy candidate, THE RPFICIENCY OF BOGUS TRLRGRAMB, Previous to und pending these proceedings many of the unsophisticated delegates on the Gaston side of the house were made to believo that the whole country looked that to Massachusetts for the redemption of the democratic party, and that their only salvation was in the nomination of Charles Francis Adama. This feciing was generated and encouraged by tbe ap- parent receipt of telegrams irom prominent democrats expressing their desire in that direction in the must emphatic and imploring language, These were inne- cently swallowed, and the efleet of the dose was no- where more efficacious than among the Boston dele- gates.
