Gen. Logan entered into a dlicussion of the pnwent situation of thi country and-ir aJPemooratic administration. Referring to the right of suffrage, he said that* the government was a republio only in name, becauie thousands of legal voters in many state i ware denied the right to deposit their ballots; they are dubs and shot down like wild beasts for dsalring to exercise tbe rights of citieens. "It is the duty at every honest man,".said he, "no matter what ids party, to throw his Influence in opposition to this political oligarchy." He aaid that the only way the government can be made a republio in fact U by educating all deans of people. The Republican party, he said, did its best to Inaugurate a system of education for the illiterate classes, so that the value of the ballot might be appreciated. "But." said he, "tba same •laments that made war against tbe union, ■ad now dominate the governments in thj south by a system of terrorism and fraud have by their votes in oongrees prevented appropriations as -wall as the* passage of bills which would have aided materially hi bringing about this result" He trusted that the time was not far distant when education would be universal, and when all attiaens, whites and blacks, shall have equal protection in tba exercise of free speech and honest suffrage. Gen. Logan claimed tlvat the on who committed political outrages in the south were members of the party of states rights, free trade, secession and relentless persecution of those they cannot control, a id as eel if the present administration wib try to remedy the evil, or will it be encouraged Is order to maintain a "solid sooti" He reminded those Democrats who cried "Bloody shirt" that it was the Democracy that was responsible for every- drop of UooJ th?y refer to when they made mi of the expression. He supposed uiat In future a Republican would be per ml'to 1 before an audience, only to apologias to the country for having been a union soldier. If it is coming to that, he proposed to stand alone if necessary, maintaining the principles of the Republican party, and "denouncing those pernicious principle of the Democrats that would have brought ruin and destruction to our whole country." Gen. Logan then sarceetlcally referred to GMn. Fits Hugh Lee traveling through Virginia, having his horse caparisoned with Gen. Robert lee's bridle end saddle. He ■dd that it would seem that tbe bi fall# and saddle, instead of Flta Hugh Lje, were the candidate for governor of Virginia. The general then went on to say that eDnoa 1881 every Republican measure in oongress calculated to advance the country's interest] and prosperity of the people was opposed by the Democrats. Not one step had been taken along the line of civilisation that was not nude by the Republic aw aitf oppoeed by the Democrats. The Democratic cry tor civil servioe reform is a mere pretense, and every man they desire to oust from effloe la termed an "offensive' partisan." The principles of civil servioe reform are under the foot of the edmlnietratratiou, end trampled in the dust' Gen.

Some were crushed against the building and were sevjrely hurt. The bouse could not hold half of the crowd. The tfjprldon were packed, and the crowd was very noisy and UDcomiortable. Governor Hoadly was first to arrive on the stage. He was greeted with a perfect storm of applause. He had the appearance of an elderly gentleman of refinement. His face wasoovered with a well-cropped .beard, and his bald faaad reflected back the glare of the footlights. He wore gold-rimnMi glaaeei and an open fTock coat. While speaking ha kept shaking bis iuSez finger at hii vast audtenoe. In hu left hand he held notes, upon which he often cast his eyes.

Tbe continual uncertainty of the material eziltoaoe of wage workers. The ■altering of the proletarian masses aal the mloesal accumulation of wealth in the bands of the few. These associations are proven by thepresent condition of tbe wage workers, who, in the midst of their production, live in poverty and dependence, while the hardest and Mr. Purringtou said that Col.

He said: "It coat 100,000 lives to build up his reputation, and now it is all undone by thift scoundrel." II would have gone hard with Ward if CoL- Qrant had met -him. Ward feared this, and had a powerful deputy sheriff accompany him in order to protect him. Ward was a great coward. When he came to Mr. Purrington's offloe, soon after the1 failure, he said, tearfully: The Liberal meeting at Bury, which was intended as an offset to the Conservative conference at Newport, was almost a fiasco. The -chief speaker was the Marquis of Har ting ton, who was the secretary for war in tbe late cabinet and who is the acting chief of the liberal party during ibe partial retirement of Mr. Gladstone. The person whom tbe audience' most wished to see, however, was Mr. John Bright, who had promised to break his long silence and to address the Bury meeting. It was the magic of his name which had attracted most of the attendants of the meeting, and the epigramatic utterances of the great Birmingham leader wore awaited with -the keenest interest. AM the last moment Mr. Bright canceled hie engagement and tbe announcement of this fact acted like a wet blanket on the meeting. The. incident- has caused rumors of a serious breach between Mr. Bright and the other Liberal leaders, bat the rumors are discredited in well-informed ciNtee. Lord Uartingtou and the rest of the speakers did all way could in ties way of oratory, but they made altogether a poor show. Lord Hartington rang tbe changes upon Mr. Gladstone's recent manifesto, but advanced nothing new and scarcely touched upon the new phases of the situation brought out by Lord Salisbury's speech.

He attempted to speak, and tbe crowd roes and yelled again. It was an ovatkfet for Mr. Hurd. The candidates seemed fadgotten for the time. They sat at small tablet on each side oi the stage. The preliminaries resembled a prise ilgat more than anything else.

Tfcose who work but lilftlq, or not at all, Bve * in afllwnoe ' through these productions. Such a condition of affairs, which must grow worse under the existing circumstances, is against the interest of ui—Hnil and is antagonistic to all justice and true 1 democracy. It destroys the very eatenoa of our constitution, which says that all man shall anjoy life, liberty and the unrestrained parsnit of happiness. It shortens and threaten* life by creating want and suffisrlag. It dsstroys libertyby making the waganwhardependent upon his bo#s and also makes' politioal "freedom impossible. It ohecks the pursuit of*nppin»ss. Happiness Is not attainable where life and liberty are threatened. To bhange this state of affairs we seek to establish a system of co-operative labor, that is we demand not only that wageworkers shall labor in common, but the result of that labor shall accrue to the laboring classss with allots .benefits. This impossible only where the Hans of production are in the hands of the wage worker. We therefore demand that the right of private property, such as machinery, factories, etc., s£all vest in the people. By tbie ohange the establishment of co-operative production and the distribution of ita benefits according to tbe wsaate and. wprfchfTthe produces* will be poesible under thataqtrol of organissd society. To overcotiie tlte con - tinued oppression of the wage worker by the capitalist the Socialistic Labor party la formed. We seek practical realisation of our demands by striving to gain possession bf the political power through all practloal means. Julian T. Da vies, Jamas McNamee, Chas. McNamee, Mil Ointo. Oiart J. H.

Tingle, of Philllpsburg, told of the surveys of the Beach Creek road and ■1DM that it waa a competing line with the Psnnsylvanania railroad, which fact ha could prove bj the testimony of shippers. John Hull and A. V. Hoyt, ooal operators, of Pbfllipuburg, testified to the refusal at the Pennsylvania road to furnish cars to shippers. Since the completion of the Beach Creak roadnotronJMe had- been experienced in getting all the ears needed. The Beach Creek, they testified, had secured a great part of the trade which formerly had gone to the Pennsylvania road. William F. Shu ale, chief engineer of the American Construction company, testified as to the amount of work already completed by the company. He explained that the heavy part of the work was already well under way; About 60 per cent, of the tunneling had been done and also a oo& aider able portion at the grading. It bid been the expectation of time in charge of. the wot-k that the road would be in running crder in about one year's time.

On the same platform were about a hundred clergymen, who had Jnst left the anti-disestablishment conferenos in thi Chester cathedral. The parsons glared at Mr. Chamberlain, revUing and jeering him as the arch enemy of the church. The Radical leader fixed his monocle in his aye, looked over the crowd and laughed derisively.

At the end of an hour Governor Hoadly took bis 8tat amid deafening spplatise. Judge Doyle then 4ntrodnoei Judgs Foraker, and the applause was more terrific than it had ever been before and lasted longer. Foraker went to work in a business-like way to lay out his opponent The first point be gained on Governor Hoadly was that Hoadly had said that tJnooln died a Democrat. "He made a slight mistake," said Foraker. "Lincoln died at the hands of a Democrat." This was greeted with laughter and applause by both aid* of the house. He then relegated the whole question of tike liquor traffic to the legislature, ai he oould not answtor what that body would do. Hoadly. in his inaugural, says: "I am opposed to the repeal ot the Soott law." He now arraigns Republicans for favoring the law. H« began to question Hoadly as to license and how to procure ft, if he waa opposed to the taxation of liquor, and how he stands as to tbe taxation of ohurches and school houses. Judge Forakar denounced the last legislature, which Hoadly applioded, as the most infamously corrupt legislators ever elected. He referred to the corrupt methods in the election of Henry B., Payns as United States senator, and read from Democratic papers as to the corrupt coal oil crowd. He looked toward Hoadly as he read it and asked, "Where was you, governor, then?" (Cheers and laughter.) Ha then referred to Thurman, lamllnj. a part or his speech denouncing Dossism and the cut-throat policy by which he was beaten for senator. (Democrats groaned.) Ha then read the financial statement of Hoadly's administration, showing it in an unfavorable light, and the crowd yelled. By mistake, Foraker addressed Hoadly as Judge. "Excuse me, governor," he said. J'l am only judge, but Til be governor next year." This created the wildest applause an'J laughtef in the Republican ranks.
