ADDRESS OF MB. HAYES.
Special to Enquirer-Sun-]
Marietta, Sept. 7.—After the address
of welcome by Mayor Palmer, Hayes
stepped forward and was greeted with
great cheers and waving of handkerchiefs.
He said: .
Ladies, fellow citizens and survivors of
the great war—I wish that £ was prepared
to speak suitably upon this oooasion. My
friend, Mayor Pairnei^ in his address
introducing me, said that in every speech
made at this great National Reunion, en»
oouragement has been given to that spirit
of fraternity which it is the desire of those
associated with me in the Administration
to do something during our term of ser
vice to advance. We do not, in meeting
the people, propose to discuss any of the
great party questions which divide the
people who honor us with their attention.
[Oheers.] We leave these to be discussed
before the people by those who may be
appointed by the respective parties to
carry on these debates; but we do feel
that if, in visiting our fellow citizens in
different (States, we can add anything to
strengthen the sentiment alluded to by
the Mayor, it is right and proper that we
should do it. [Applause ]
All who are familiar with the history of
our country know that a hundred years
ago there was no North or South. The
fathers were one throughout the whole
country, Washington and Jefferson were
side by side with Franklin and Adams.
Daniel Morgan and his Virginians march
ed from Virginia to Boston. They were
at Saratoga, and Nathaniel Greene and
his Continentals were in the Carolines.
The whole country belonged to the fathers.
It is to that state of harmony, of fraternaf
friendship that we desire our country to
return. [A voice, good for you and
cheers.] We are for the Union as it is.
[Cheers.] We are for the Constitution as
itis. [Cheers.] With all its’amsndments.
[A voice, “thata it.” Great cheers.] We
want the oitizens of every State to feel
at home in every other State. [Amen
and cheers.] If a oitizen of Vermont
travels to Georgia or Texas for business or
pleasure, we want him to feel at home in
these States. [Cheers.] If a oitizen of
Texas or Georgia travels North we want
that citizen to feel at home everywhere
throughout the Union.
Now my friends, I do not propose to
detain you. I had made a much longer
apeeoh already than I intended when I
entered your town, but you understand
our purpose.
We make mistakes in method, mis-
takes in measores, but the sentiment
we would encourage is a sentiment of
nationality thorooghout the Union. [Ap
plause.] We all regard the service of that
four years war. We regard that period
of four years as the most interesting of
our lives. We fought through them,
those of us who were in the Union Army
fought as we believed to make this for
ever hereafter a united people, forever
hereafter a free people, and we rejoice
to-day to believe that those who were
against us in that struggle now are with
us in both of these questions, and will
forever remain with us on both of these
questions. [Cheers, loud and long.]
Now my friends you will desire to hear
from some of those who are‘associated
with me in the Government. Two mem
bers of the Cabinet are here, Postmaster
General Judge Key, of Tennessee, and
General Devens, Attorney General. They
fought on opposite sides during these four
years, but to-day they are prepared to
fight, if need be, one the same side.
[Great cheers.] And now I will introduce
to you Judge Key. I am sure he is an
able man. I am sure he is an honest
man. I am sure he is a patriotic man
[Cheers.]
JUDGE KEY
spoke as follows: Fellow-citizens—I ap
pear before yon under peculiar circum
stances. You have assembled here
recite the victories which you have won
in former days, to recount the triumph’
ant results which you achieved. I appear
before you as one of the soldiery from
whom your victories were won, your tri
umphs were achieved. But, my friend ,
the cordiality with which I have been re
ceived makes me forget that we have
ever been enemies, and I assure you that
I would muoh rather meet you as I met
you here to-day, as friends, than in the
conflict of arms, as you have been met
heretofore. [Applause.] My friends, the
flag I fought for four years has diBap<
peared from the face of the earth. The
government I attempted with my com
peers to establish is no more. Wo have
but one flag, and that floats over every
foot of our territory. We have bat
one Constitution, and that is the
Constitution as it is. [Cheers.] Our
quarrel, my friends, was inherited. (Slave
ry was established by our fathers. It was
established by the men of the North as
well as of the South. It was a relic of a
former age. As the ages progressed, as
the country progressed the free Sta’es
became profoundly impressed with the
idea that slavery was wrong, that it was a
great national crime, that it was the sin
of the age, that it was a sin against heav-
en and liberty [a voice—*‘and it was.”J
The people of the South had
been educated under diffrente
ideas. Their statesmen, upon their plat
forms, defended,* and their ministers,
before the holy altars, taught the people
that it was right, and the people of the
Boutbern States believed it was right. A
conflict, from time to time—a conflict of
opinion—grew upon bad adjustments.
We had the Missouri compromise, the
compromise of 1850, but yet it would not
suit. At last free ideas so far prevailed
that Lincoln was eleoted to the Presiden
cy of the United States.
Mr. Key proceeded in the same strain
at great length.

REPUBLICAN STATES.
Washington, Sept. 7.—The President
has advised Prof. Langston that political
speeches in Ohio are incompatible with
his position as Minister to Hayti. It is

Crawford, said to be identified as Osman
Pasha, lived in Chestertown, Kentucky,
in 18G7, and published a paper there. He
left suddenly about 1873. Many leaders

Saratoga, N. Y., September 7.—The

way.

aot of courtesy.
RU88IAN HEADQUARTERS MOVED.
London, Sept. 7.—The Times' Vienna
correspondent says the news is received
that the Russian headquarters have been
moved from Gorny Studen to Bulgareni.
This may indicate either an advanoe in
the direction of Plevna or retreat from
the neighborhood of Jantra Line.
RERVIA POVERTY STRICKEN.
The Times' Vienna correspondent tele
graphs : In spite of Russian subsidies
hitherto reoeived, Servia can less afford
to assemble a considerable portion of her
male population and maintain them than
she oonld last year.
SEBASTOPOL DEFENSIVE.
Reports from Hobart Pasha to th Porte
represent the new fortifications of Sebas
topol are strong enough even, without the
addition of torpedoes in the harbor to
destroy the finest fleet afloat, whioh wonld
venture to attaok them.
LOVATS SURPRISED.
The Times' correspondent who was
present at the oapture of Lovatz estimates
the actual Russian attacking force at 22,-
000 with one division in reserve. The
oapture seems to have been effected part
ly by surprise.
ASIA—RUSSIANS DEFEATED.
A dispatch to the Times, dated Erze-
roum, September 4th, says the battle of
Kizeletezk, whioh resulted in the Rus
sians being completely driven from their
position at Kedalar cost the Turks 430 in
killed and 1,400 wounded. Kizeletezke
Hill was held by five battalions of Rus
sian infantry. The remainder had with
drawn to Kardeok on the 23d of Angust.
There was an attack at 2 a. m. on the 24th
by two divisions under Ali Pasha and
Mabamed Bey. They were both wounded.
The Russians, outnumbered by ten to
one, fought bravely, but were driven off
from their main lines. They came np
about 9 o’oloek and made three unsuo*
oessf ul attempts to carry the Hill by storm,
These were most gallantly repulsed by
the Turks, who finally remained masters
of the field and have now strongly en*
trenohed on Kizeletezke Hill.
TURKISH WOUNDED.
London, Sept. 7.—A special from Con
stantinople by way of Syra to the Times
says three thousand wounded from Sulei
man Pasha’s army reaohed Adrianople.

Kazanleke, and that at Sohipka, they lie
all over the steep hillsides. The Turkish
Badgad army of 35,000 men is going to
Nish.
GREECE.
Uneasiness at Constantinople about the
attitude of Greece has subsided, but there
is still great distrust of Servia.
MORE PAPER.
A further issue of six million piastres
of paper money has been determined on.
ATTACK ON PLEVNA EIPEOTED.
London, Sept. 7.—The oorrespondent
of the TimeSy after the oapture of Lovatz
by the Russians, which he describes,
finds himself at Hovredin, whence he
telegraphs all messages between here and
Lovatz: We, accompanied by an escort of
cavalry against Bashi Bazouks, are in this
interesting country. Prince Charles, of
Roumania, is here in command of the
Russian line facing Plevna, and two di
visions of the Roumanian troops here.
The Turks showed themselves yesterday
afternoon, but retired into their works
before Plevna without doing anything.
We are expeoting the olose of the Plevna
business very soon, and a Turkish Sedan as
the result. a
[Note.—This seems to dispose of the
rumors of an attack on Plevna whioh
were current on Monday.]
CZAR MOVES NEARER THE FRONT.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, Sept. 7.—The Times in sum
marizing the news of the day makes the
following comment on Bulgarian posi
tions. Imperial headquarters moved from
Studen forty miles from Plevna to Bulga-
reui, twenty miles nearer, and all appa-
rently is prepared for a crushing attaok on
Osman Pasha’s main army but there may
be other reasons not so favorable to the
Russians for the headquarters of the
Czar being transferred from the vioinity
of Berlin to the valley of the Osma.
MEHKMET ALI FLANKS THE RUSSIANS.
A report comes from Constantinople
that the army of Mehemet Ali has been
recently making a flank march to the
north, and it is now said the aotion re
ported yesterday at Kadikoi was fought
by the main army, and not by the garri
son of Rustcbuk. Mebemet Ali is said to
have changed his base of operations from
Eski Djnna and Ostnar Bazar to Rust-
chuk, pushed back some weak Russian
forces over the Lorn, and established his
advance guard at Obertini, on the road
from Rustcbuk to Biela, eight miles from
the latter plaoe. If this be true it an
nounces a most important and masterly
movement of Mehemet Ali. It would
appear, however, that this report should
be accepted with caution.
FREE TRADERS* CONFERENCE.
THE DEPRESSION OF TKtADE IN
THIS COUNTRY AND THE
REMEDY.
Saratoga, September 7.—The confer
ence of free traders met aud was called
to order by Nathan Appleton, of Boston.
The provisional chairman said this was an
anspioious time. He hoped this meeting
would result in the organization of a free
trade league.
Pratt, of New York, and Samuel L.
Powers, of Boston, were appointed secre
taries. David Dudley Field, Park God
win aud Horace White, were appointed a.
oommittee on resolutions. They reported
the following :
Resolved, That the present depression
of industrial, commercial aud flnauciul
interests aro largely due to our inability,
under the present laws, to dispose of the
surplus products of our industrial pur
suits, which other countries want, and
whioh, but for the restriction and inju
dicious legislation of the United Statos,
would, to a groat extent, produoo aud sell
better and cheaper than any other nation.
2d. Resolved, That this goneral depres
sion has been caused mostly by the erro
neous financial and commercial policy pro
posed by the Federal Government since
the war, that it is necossary to buy in
order to sell and that it is utterly impossi
ble for us to dispose of the surplus of own
industry to other nations.
3d. Resolved, That by imposing taxes
for purposes other than revenue, and by
preventing ns from oheaply building and
advantageously buying shipB, our shipping
whioh had beoome the second in the
world, was fast becoming the first, has
been almost ewept from the sea.
4th. Resolved, That in view of the faot
that large interests have grown up under the
erroneous fisoal policy whioh the United
States have maintained during a period of
sixteen years, duo regard must be paid to
the security and welfare of these goods,
but seeing them prostrate in common
with others, we are persuaded that if pro
tection has ever done anything for them,
it has done all it can, and, that they no
leas than others, need for their revival
and healthy growth, a thorough revision
of the existing traffics.
5th. Resolved, That as one of the means
towards the revival of oommerco and
general prosperity, we ask oonourrently
with reformed legislation, and a thorough
revision of our commercial treaties with
foreign Governments. Wo ask, also, the
negotiation of treaties of oommerce with
countries, such as France and Spain, with
whioh we have no agreement.
The resolves were passed.
The committee consists of Nathan Ap
pleton, Wm. Donn, Boston; Marshal
Stokes, F. O. French, W. R. Sperny, New
York ; W. J. ltiddlo, Philadelphia ; A. fi.
Mason, Ohioago; G. A. Trenholm,
Charleston; and Charles Nordhoff, Now
Jersey.
The conference then adjourned.
FRANCE.
PREPARATIONS FOR THEIRS’ FUNERAL.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.J
Paris, Sept. 7.—The proprietors of the
prinoipal shops in this city give notice
that their establishments will be closed
Saturday, the day being regarded as one
of national mourning.
The evening papers publish arrange
ments for the funeral procession, and say,
in conclusion, that the patriotism of every
oitizen is relied upon for the preservation
of order.
The Liberte says the troops will
be massed along the whole
route. Detachments will also
accompany the procession and bivouac
behind the cemetery of Pero La Chaise.
M. M. Grevy, Jules Sirqon and other
eminent men will speak at the grave.
Price of a Conntcr
Tom BalUrd, tbo famous counterfeiter,
who is now serving the third year of his
thirty years’ term at Albany, has renewod
the offer he made in 1875 without its re
ceiving any attention from Secretary
Bristow, lie proposed to reveal to the
Government without promise of reward
or release, unless it should bo voluntarily
offered him after tosting its process, u
secret which would render counterfeiting
impossible. The greatest secret, Ballard
says, in the making of onr present popor
money is the weaving in of the blue and
red fibres; but this kind of paper is now
too easily made by hand. His remedy
is a machine, which wonld cost $30,000,
and which would make paper of
so superior a quality that it
could not be imitated by band. At
present when the ink is washed from the
face and back of a $1,000 bill, it does not
differ in appearance from u $1 bill. Bal
lard's idea is to have numerous designs
worked in, in place of the red ink, and in
place of the blue localized fibre to insert
a line or stripe of stars of a peculiar
metalic substance nnd in the centre of
eaoh star to insert in miniye figures the
denomination of tbo note, so that in case
the ink is erased, or the note reduced to
pulp even, its value could still bo told.
All these secrets, together with one in re
lation to engraving, which ho says will
excel anything now known in lithography,
Ballard offers the Government if it will
accept them. He also promises to make
a quantity of the paper without cost to
the Government to experiment upon.

AN INDIGNATION MEETING.
The moon was shining into the sonth
windows of the White House when Mr.
Hayes got up from his bed in order to
look at the olook. It was nearly three in
the morning, aud he had not yet slept.
The bed was comfortable enough but
what long, dreary hours since eleven!
“God bless me,” said Mr. Hayes, pass
ing his hand wearily over his forehead.
“I used to sleep like a top at Columbus.”
He sat down in a chair and tried to
think of his approaching journey through
the Southern States, aud of the speeches
to be made along the way. He would
take Schurz along this time, bnt not Key.
It would not be poiitioto take Key. Key’s
peouliar humor would not be appreciated
m Tennessee and in Virginia. In intro
ducing Schurz to audiences in the South
ern Statos, he would Hpeak of him as a
man who bad fought on the wroug side at
Gettysburg and elsewhere, but who had
soon the error of his ways, and was now
prepared to acknowledge his mistake in
the presence of his ex Confederate breth
ren. I will quote Scripture, thought Mr.
Hayes, when I introduce Schurz, and I
will say—. But his mind was not in
trim for continuous thinking. It wan«
derod back to Evarts and the Green
Mountains, and to Stoughton, and to
Judge Jerry Black, and then to the un
welcome memory of the Electoral Corns
mission. And the olook on the mantel,
its rapid pendulum strokes oppressively
loud in the perfect stillness of the night.
Eight-to-sev-on, Eight-to-sev-en, Eight-
to sev'-en, Eight-to-sev-en, Eight*to-sev
en. Try as he did, his ears could make
it say nothing else,
Mr. Hayes went to a window, drew the
curtain, and looked up at the broad face
of the moon. For tne first time in his
life he noticed that the moon’s face bore
a weird likeness to the face of Gen. But
ler. As he remarked this strange re
semblance with amazement, the outer
corners of the eyes seemed to draw them
selves still farther down, and the mouth
lines to take on an expression of sardonic
glee, as if the face said plainly, “Con
gress meets on the 15th of October, Mr.
Huyes, and l shall be there."
He was turning away disgusted from a
spectacle that afforded him no satisfac
tion, when he was startled by a deep,
ringing voice, apparently olose to bis ear,
uttering with solemn emphasis this word
of reproach :
“Fraud!”
Aud again, almost before ho could re
cover his suspended breath:
“Fraud!”
“Nonsense,” thought Mr. Hayes, “my
nerves are getting the better of my senses.
I urn a ”
“Fraud 1” said the voice for the third
and iaHt time. It was only the bell of a
church clock, striking the hour, but if it
had been the voice of doom pronouncing
judgment, its effect upon Mr. Hayes’ ears
couid not have been more terrifying. He
left the window and began to walk the
floor, keeping time, unconsciously, with
the monotonous Eight to-sev-en of the
mantel olook, and drawiug the palm of
his hand to and fro across bis forehead,
a gesture that had become habitual with
him of late.
In this restless mood Mr. Hayes passed
out of the apartment consecrated to a
deity who refused to bless his pillow, and
paced the long corridor for a time. The
door of the Executive room where he aud
his predecessors in tUb White Uonso have
been accustomed to meet their counsel
lors, was ajar. He pushed it open and
entered. It was not the first time that he
had visited the apartment at this hour.
He unlocked a cabinet, and bis hand
groped about in the darkness until it had
found a wine glass and a small vial. “It
will give me sleep,” said Mr. Hayes to
himself. “The dreams are bad enough,
but not so bad as wakefnluess.”
The drowsiness of the brown liquid
came over him as he sat in the great easy
chair at the head of the long table. It
was hardly sleep, for he was conscious of
the objects surrounding him, conscious
of the moonlight, nnd conscious of his
own acute wretchedness.
While Mr. Hayes sat in the easy chair,
waiting for the laudanum to close his
heavy eyelids, an astonishing thing hap
pened. The door of the Executive room
swung on its hinges, ana a procession of
dim figures entered, marching gravely
two by two. A dozen, fourteen, aixtoeu
be counted, and last of all came one
aloue, taller, graver, and more noble in
form and carriage tban any of the rest.
Mr. Hayes started up from bis chair to
question his dim visitors rather than to
welcome them. But they paid no atten
tion to him or his movements, and he
shrunk back into a corner of the room
uunoticed. Homo of the strauge figures
souted themselves around the table. Oth
ers stood in groups, conversing in low,
earnest toues. lie who had entered last
took the chair whioh Mr. Hayes had occu
pied. Just then the moon came out
from behind a olond, and by the better
light Mr. Hayes saw that ho was in the
preseuoo of the Presidents of tho United
Statos.
“Since wo wore here last,” said a court
ly old gentleman with a big head and
broad forehead and stout legs in knee
brooches—“since wo wore hero last there
has been perpetrated in the name of Gov
ernment a crime so atrocious that I am
unable to liud words to express my amaze
ment and indignation. Geutlemen, per
haps my tongue is sometimes o’erhasty to
condemn, but when my blood boils it
were perfect folly for me to attempt to
restrain utterance,” and tho speaker
brought down his heavy oaue with a ve-
homeuco that shook the room and caused
Mr. Ilnyes to shrink closer into the shad
ow that sheltered him.
“Right, father, right!” exolaimed a
rather pompons personago who Htood a
little apart from the others. “Made vir-
tute, O parens libertatis. You may well
say that! There never yet was one of our
lino that could condone a crime or palliate
a fraud, and I hope to heaven there never
will he such to dishonor the name of Ad
ams.”
“I came into this mansion,” continued
the old gentleman, “in the year 1800. 1
was the first President of the United
States to occupy it. Nearly every four
years since I havo revisited tho homo of
tho Chief Magistrates, either in flesh or
as I now come, and always with geuor-
ous confidence in tho honesty of purpose
of its occupants, howsoever I might ques
tion the wisdom of his administrative
measures. Nearly every four years, I
Hay, for I must except the unfortunate
period duriug which 1 was on terms of
non intercourse with Jefferson here—the
old quarrel happily long since recompiled,
is it uot so, your Excellency ?”
“Long since forgotten, John Adams,"
replied ho who was addressed; “but vex
mo not with “your Excellencies. ’ I am
pluiu Tom Jefferson, and I bold that in a
true democracy a man is no more tban a
man, though he be President, and fine
phrases and obsequious address can add
uothiug to the dignity of the office. Let
him borrow titles who lacks tho sole title
a President should claim—the title con
ferred by the honest vote of the several
Common wealths. ”
“I am a rough fellow,” said another, a
stout gentleman with an awkward man
ner, but a good humored face and keen
eyes, that snapped fire as he spoke, “and
not handy in turning sentences or speech
ifying; bnt d -n me if it isn’t an out
rage that a knave should find shelter un
der the root that has oovered good sold
iers and honest gentlemen for nigh a cen

“Aye, old Rongh and Ready,” said sim
ple, bine-eyed James Monroe, “a knave,
there’s no use of denying it. Forgery,
fraud, and the robbery of priceless rights,
to get to this White House; this oanuot
be forgiven, and must not bo forgotten—
that’s tho Monroe doctrine.”
“And the bands that take tho prize are
as blaok as the hands that do tbe oriraes,”
put in a venerable figure dressed in sable,
with thin gray hair carefully powdered;
“eh Jojm Quincy ?”
“Qni faoit per allum, facit per so,”
promptly suggested the erudite President
to wh 111 Madison bad appealed.
But what cau be done about it?” in
quired Buchanan, coming forward to tho
table and poking his pear-shaped head
over the shonlders of James Polk aud
Andy Johnson. “It seems to me that we
are in a position to remonstrate, but not
to coeroe.”
Do about it ?” shouted an irascible old
gentleman jumping from bis chair and
running his bony fingers through a head
of bristling hair. “We cau cut off this
false-hearted knave’s ears. By the Eter
nal, it ought to be done, and I’m the man
to do it! ”
Mr. Hayes had never trembled as he
trembled now befoce the honest iudigna u
tion of bis stern old chieftain. For a
moment be quite forgot his forehead in
anxiety about his oars, lie rushed for
the door, his two bauds pressed close
over the appendages whioh Andrew
Jaokson had threatened. No one stop
ped him; no one heeded him. Tho first
fraudulent President of tho United
States passed at a coward’s pace from out
the presence of his seventeen honestly
elected predecessors. In the faces of ail
he had read oontempt. Iu the faces of
some ho bad seen anger. In the grave
faces of Washington and Abraham Lin
coln be saw no anger, but deep sorrov;
and profound apprehension for the fu *
turo of the Government which one had
established and the other saved.
When Mr. Hayes, haggard and still
trembling, found himself in the corridor,
the sunlight was pouring in from tho
oast. This gavo him courage to look
back into the room from whioh ho had
fled, but the room was empty.—N. T.

Napoleon I. on Riumln.
From the Boston Journal.]
Now that the Turoo-Russian war is rag
ing and all eyes are turned to Constanti
nople, the bone of contention of Europe,
it may be of interest to quote an opinion
given by NapoleoD, at St. Helena, in 1817,
to bin surgeon, Barry O’Meara. Tho fol -
lowing extract may be found in the sec
ond volume, fifty-first and fifty second
pages, of a work written by Mr. O’Meara
entitled “Napoleon in Exile,” and pub
lished in Boston, iu 1823 :
“In the course of a fow years,” added
he, “Russia will have Constantinople, tho
greatest part of Tnrkey, and all Greece.
This I hold to be as certain os if it had
already taken plaoe. Almost all the ca
joling and flattering whioh Alexander
practiced toward me was to gain my con
sent to effect this object. I wonld not
consent, foreseeing that the eqnis
librium of Europe would be destroyed.
In the natural course of things,
in a few years Turkey must fall to Rus
sia. The greatest part of her population
are Greeks, who, you may say, are Rus
sians. The Powers it would injure, and
who would oppose it, are England,
Franco, Prussia and Austria. Now as to
Austria, it would be very easy for Russia
to engage her assistance by giving her
Servia and other provinces bordering
upon tho Austrian dominions, reaching
noar to Constantinople.
“The only hypothesis that France and
England may ever be allied with sincerity
will be in order to prevent this. But
oven this alliance would not avail.
France, England and Prussia united can
not prevent it. Russia and Austria can at
any time effect it. Once mistress of Con
stantinople, Russia gets all the commerce
of the Mediterranean, becomes a great
naval power, and God knows what may
happen.
“She quarrels with you, marches off to
India an army of 70,000 good soldiers,
which to Russia is nothing, aud 100,000
oanaillo, Cossacks, and others, and Eng
land loses India. Above all other powers,
Russia is most to be feared, especially by
you. Her soldiers are braver than the
Austrians, and she has tho means of rais
ing as many as she pleases. In bravery,
the French and English soldiers aro the
only ones to be compared to them. All
this I foresaw. I see into futurity fnrther
than others, and I wanted to establish a
harrier against those barbarians by re
establishing the Kingdom of Poland ; but
your imbeciles of Ministers would uot
consent, A hundred yearB hence, I shall
bo praised nnd Europe especially Eng
land, will lament that I did not succeed.''

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY.
The Fraud Whereby the Presidency
was Stolen for Hayes,
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Ex-Senator John P. Stockton is a mild-
mannered, olear-rainded man, well liked.
“Politics in New Jersey bang rather
closely,” he said, “on all parties. The
people made a snpreme effort to elect Mr.
Tilden, and then, when indecision, weak
ness and cowardice lost ns the fruits of
the election, tho feeling became inani
mate. It has not sigoe revived. I think,”
the ex-Senator added, “that the strikes
grew out of tho disgust arising from Til-
den’s being counted out.”
“How so ?”
“Tbe laboring people had been assured
that they were to have a general ohange
of Administration, policy and business.
They voted to accomplish that result. Up
to that time they had suffered peaceably.
When Mr. Tilden was set outside and the
defeated candidate pnt in the office, their
patience gave way. They undertook to
remedy things outside of the lawful
method.”
“Yon Hpeak of cowardice and weak
ness among Mr. Tilden’s supporters.
What do you mean ?"
“Rich men—rich Democrats, principally
in tho city of New York. That wealthy
class of Democrats have always been in
favor of flying from responsibility if they
thought their money was imperriied.
During the war they hastened to give
their assent to giving up Mason and Sli-
doll. They took fear at the possibility of
a conflict if Mr. Tildeu was inaugurated.
They got up a meeting and had the reso
lutions signed by all the rioh, respectable
Demooratio merchants and bankers. In
order to be perfectly conciliatory, they
also had Republican rich men sign it.
And what waH their remedy, as they ex
pressed it ? It was not to oarry out the
will of the people, but they implored Con
gress to settle tbe eleotion without any
disturbance. I said to Mr. Tilden, Tf our
Demooratio leaders will only try, not to
have courage, but pretend to have some,
justice will be done.’ Yet they hardly
lot the oleotion pass before they began to
plead and impore for peaoe, and the Re
publicans saw it and beoame defiant.”
“You think, then,with Senator Sprague,
that nothing is as cowardly as a million,
except two millious ?”
“1 think,” said Senator Stockton, “that
the liberties, and even the laws, of a peo
ple are never safe in tho custody of a rich
olass. The middle oless and poor do not
shrink before their responsibility. The
wealthy fly boforo there is any danger.”
“Were thero no exceptions iu that pol
itical panic ?"
“August Belmont told Mr. Tilden that
ho would risk every dollar he possessed on
carrying out the popular will. Belmont
behaved admirably. He wanted to see
Mr. Tilden inaugurated.”
“But Tilden himself had no decision
about it. He let the Oommiasion try the
oaBo at discretion.”
“I think not,” said Stockton. “I heard
him tell Edwin Cooper to telegraph to
Washington not to assent to any terms to
a Commission unless the Justices to sit
upon it were named.”
“Well, they were named by designating
their circuits; and your own State, New
Jersey, had an important part to play in
tho decision.”
“Yes; Judge Bradley, with Frelinghuy-
sen on one side of him and Robeson on
tho other, to give him advice, pnt New
Jersey in a plaoe to misrepresent her
self.
Don’t you think that Senators Bayard
aud Thurman, both Democrats, were
anxious to settle the Presidency any
how, aud worked hard to sustain the
Commission ?’
‘They are both good men, and both
friends of mine, They were deceived.
If Judges Field and Clifford had got up
and left the tribunal when it refused 10
receive evidence there would still have
been a chance. The assurances of Ed
munds and Hoar in the oommittee to
frame tho bill deceived the Democrats
theie, and they did not insist to put in a
clause that evidence shonld be taken.
The omission was fatal. When the tri
bunal rejected evidence, and made the
Florida decision from the face of the re
turns, Senator Conkling was relied upon
to make a protest in open Senate or
joint session. I do not know what was
expected of him, but tho impression pre
vailed that he would see justice done.
That slipped up iu some way and Conk
ling contented himself with absence or
acquiescence.’
‘What do you think of the tribunal it
self—the judicial side of it?’
“That tribunal settled the question that
human nature is not to be relied upon iu
supreme political issues. Charles O'Conor
believed to the last moment that those
Judges would be impartial aud do justice.
Judge Black always said they would put
in Hayes anyhow. The bar of the United
Statos genorully showed perfect codS-
denco in tho court, and that is a testi
monial to tho character of tho American
bar, thut its sensibilities and standard
worn higher than the Supremo Court’s.”
“After all. Senator Stockton, do you
uot think that in future and distant com
plications of the same kind the expedient
of a commission will be tried again,as it
is now a precedent, aud the suggestion of
it goes back to the vear 1800 V”
“I do not think,” replied the Senator,
“that for tho next twenty-five years any
political party will trust itRelf to an arbi
tration of Judges of opposite politics. As
I havo just said,we mistook human nature
in tlu* unfortunate case already tried, and
found our Judges to be politicians.
Tho Republicans retorted that all
tho Democrats on the Commis
sion voted for Tilden, as all
the Republicans voted for Hayes.
That would have been an argument if it
had not been previously agreed to take
testimony. The Republican judges de
cided without testimony; the Democratic
judges offered to hoar evidence. I sat in
the court, by accident, beside a leading
Republican editor, not knowing his voca
tion, and asked him how tho trial would
turn out. He said : ‘If they take evi
dence, this election will not he decided by
the Ith of March. If they do not take
evidence, Hayes will go in.’ Then I saw
tbe neatness of the cheat/’
“Did Heudricks take any prominenoe
in the political consultations accompany
ing the Commission?”
“Well, the Western Democrats, led by
Heudricks, behaved all through with
firmness and courage, and they presented
a gallant contrast to tbe behavior of East
ern Democrats.”
“Yon think the result has rather paral-
ized politics for a time ?”
“Yea. If a party asks for the votes of
the people and receives them for its can
didate, and tho party then fails to oarry
out the election the people get oontempt
1 for the party.
