When quiet had been restored Mr.
McKsan nominated us chairman "the
legally elected president of the coun

strong at the outset of the address ,
and his delivery effective and w l.-
judged.
IILDEN'S SPEECH.
Mr. Tilden approached to the front
of the platform and in a voice trem
bling with emotion , said : "I thonk
you , fellow citizens , for the cordiality
of this greeting. I have come down
this evening from my country house
to j tin with you in eipressing and de
claring the purpose of the democracy

[ Applause. ] I have come , under a

consequence of the hoarseness of my
voice , that I should notba required to
make a ipaech. I will touch , howev
er , on two points. Thti ire"are of ths.

change in the administration of the

plan jo , ]
KEFOltM IS NECESSAUY
to remove the abuses which have
grown up during the twenty yeara of
continuous power , prolific of false
principles and bad practice ! , of the
republican party. This party , stifling
its conscience , has made itself reapon-
sponsible for the intrusion , under the
color of law , In the chief magistracy
of our great republic of fifty million
people , of a man who was not elected
by the paople. [ Loud app'ause. ]
They have set an examp'e , which , un
less condemned , will subvert the elec
tive system of the government of
which we are so proud , and substitute
in its place a dynasty of office-holders
holding on to power against the willof
the people. [ Applause. ] The com
plete ovet hrow of the republican par
ty in'the election of 1880 will be re
tributive iudgment. It will prevent
a repetition hereafter of the crime of
1870 against the sovereignty of the
people. [ Applause. ] Congratulating
yon upon your call and upon yotir
nominations and auspicious promise of
success , which I see in every quarter ,
I will proceed to the business of the
meeting. " [ Apphuso. ]

RANDALL'S RANT.
Speaker Samuel J. Rindall of the
house of representatives taid that the
democrats entered upon the campaign
with the best candidates and the best
platform. Hancock was without fear
and without reproach. The platform
is worthy of the men and did cot seek
to elevate one section to the detriment
of another , but declared concord and
justice t-i all alike. It was in strong
contrast to the opponent's. The re
public was the very casence of general
welfare , and could nnyone believe
that a man who shed his blood at Get
tysburg and elsewhere in defense of
the union would endanger publ c faith ?
Th § speaker denounce ! the republican
party for oantia'izition of power , sub
jugation of at tte sovereignty , extrav
agance and maladministration , and
eulogized the democrats for their fight
against these evils snd efforts to ef
fect retrenchment of public expendi
tures.

Sp dal Dispatch to Tb B .
LONDON , July 28 noon. Lord
Hartington startled the house this
morning by announcing that the gov
ernment had received new * from Can-
dahar stating that an engagement had
taken place between the Afghans and
Gen. Burrowu' brigade , in which the
latter had been completely annihilat
ed. Lord Uartington further said the
government was not yet in possession
of full details of the disastrous engage
ment , but from what it known of the
relative position of the British and
Afghan troops it ji inferred that the
Afghans who are reported to have
DIHTBOYED TUB BRITJ8U ,
were under command of Ayoub
Kahn , who is supcsed to have been
reinforced by the mutineers , con
sisting of the entire infantry of tha
old Oabul regiment , who desert ei
from Shere Alia command at Oanda-
har on Wednesday the 14th. At that
date Ayoub Kahn was two marches
distant from Candahar with his whole
regular force of the regiments of In
fantry , exclusive of the mutainoers ,
who are believed to have joined him
subsequently , three regiments of
civalry numbering 4,000 men and
400sabresand thirty guns. In addition
to those ho had some irregnhr cavalry
variously estimated from 1,600 to 3- ,
500 , Of these 1,000 under Shahagatsi
Khusdil Kahn , the Hte governor of
Q-iikesUn , inrmrd. the ndvanca
g-iard. This force left Herat about
the 10th and marched directly toward
Oindahor with the evident purpose
of
THTIKG COXCLUBIONS
with the British garrison at that place
as soon as a favorable opportunity oc
curred. Ayoub is known to have
plenty uf ammunition. If this morn
ing's news is confirmed by later newa
it will explain the reticence of the
Siradcrs at tha late Durbar , when
implored by Gen. Dugftld Stewart to
sink their difference ; and unite with
Abdur Kahmaii Khan , the new ame"r ,
to pac/y and unite the country under
the new administration. Ayoub ia
merely the tool of those friendly to
Russian and against Englith rule.
Notwithstanding the apparent friendli
ness of come of them , these Cabul
chiefs have been suspected for some
time of stimulating Ayoub Khan to
the desecrate enterprise of attacking
Gandabar , and to gat up an onthusi-
aim among his soldii rs he made them
profuse
I'BOMlSEa OF I'LUNDER
at Oandahar in case of success. The
doubtful atito of affairs in southern
Afghanistan also explains why th
British representative at the lat
Durbur at Cabul declined to go fur
ther than to recognize Abdur Rih
man Khan as Ameer of Gabul an
neb of Afghanistan , which had beei
the title of his predecessors. It i
believed that jn some way Genera
Burrows was enticed beyond the wall
of the Candahar fortifications and en
trapped into

It Ayoob's victory ii as swoopin
