The Eighth Ward Glee lub mounted the plntfonn uud Hunt ; a cmn- pnlgu ditty to tlio effect that " \Vo Will Veto Orovor C , " emphasizing tlio fact , ut which the nuuicnce laughed and applauded vigor ously. Mr Contant , thu chairman , then Introduced Mr. lined in si brief but eloquent speech. Mr. Kcedsald- Fellow Citizens , Ladies and Oentlomcn. I ha\e ulread.v spoken once to day , und there fore I bliull huvn to usk your patient utten- tlon to night In order that I inn ) do justice to the question before you. I am not hero for the purpose of saving bitter und galling thing ! * itbout thu ilemocr.itiu paity ; it is con trary to thu nutur.il sweetness of my disposl tion | liuightor | . If the good dumocuits of Nonraska if there tire any Much will follow tlio example of the good democrats of M.'iiue , and vote the republican ticket , they urn nil right , but it would only be necessary to change their opinion , not their party. I suppose every democrat is opposed to us , If for nothing rlso , because wo kept them out of power for twcntv lour years ; I don't think I should feel bad against them if any such bad luck should happen to us , Tlio democrats have boon in power for three years , mid have turned out a jjic.it many men , but they have not turned out any rascals , [ lliv.it laugh- tor. ] Thu republican party , peed as it is , is not in condition for inimi'dniii * transition. \Volmve n gie.it question before us , one Worthy of our closest consideration , It is not one of those questions upon which uo cnn afford to expend rounded periods mid eloquent sentences alone ; what 1 want is common MI use , which is hard to llnd in polit ical HpeuehcH. During the past twenty-four ycnrs wo have had at cver.\ presidential election seme question upon which everything - thing hinged.Vo decided the question of thu victorious torin ination of the war , the question of slavery , the question of the u.iy- mcnt of Iwnds und the question of the llnan- clal svstOm of the country Vou must decide cido on which side \ou will .stand , the Lord's aide or the other. You must not expect to blink this free trade question out of sight. \Vhon yo.u ha > o balloted this November you httrn put join.self on record for right or wrong , Why Is It on this new question nowlv forced to the front that the , patties found themselves arrived on the ono side and one on the other ) Why is it that the democrats favor free trade ami the repub licans fuvor protection I Mr. Uccd then explained the principles of both five trndn und protection , and , Judging from the applause of the audience , Which was froijuont. it was satisfactory. A rlaiico at the history of the democratic , paitiU show that the bulk of the parti arc merely frlendsof the president , mid that they BOI from the south. 1 do not s.iy this for the purpose of hart owing up the leolings of any Democrat who may bo present , it is merely n f.oOKiitphical designation , lloforo the war tno south had a roaisosort of laboronoof nruun and imi'olc , for mind is lmi > ossiblo In a state of slavery.

Mr. Heed upaUe at omo l"ii th on the relative merits of protre tlon nn'l fiva Irado , the odds bmng groutlv in favor of | > rotctftion. Hu referred to Allen d , Thurman us an uiicieut Human , * > uncivil that ho Jiad forfi'ttcn everything that per- tallied In Americanism. Ho referred to Mr. Thurmun's free trade figures , which ho proved to ho bosh. Mills of Texas , to whom ho re ferred lisa gentleman whom ho liked socially , but whoso statesmanship ho considered doubtful , came in for u "masting. " Ho ic- ferrcd to Mills as a statesman from the prosperous - porous manufacturing state of Toxasi ( ) . which created a great deal of laughter. Four years ago Mills made a speech , which you can Und in that cemetery of American eloquence known as the Congressional Uccord , which was very "spread eagle , " in which ho spoke of free labor , free trade und free men. Mr. Ueed significantly said that Mills had been n confederate colonel. Mr Kcod presented a great many mathemat ical statistics with reference to the surplus , mid free trade , ami his good points and witty allusions never fulled to bring down the house in laughter and applause. In illustra tion he said , If n man should make a photo- priinli of a cow and write underneath it , "This is not a cow , " it would not prevent the original from giving milk. This produced gieut laughter. IIr. Kocd said that this was not a jest , it was an idea Mr. Kced's points produced n strong impression upon his audi ence , and the appl.iuso was long and loud and came in frequent intervals.

Synopsis of the Minority Report on the Operation of the Liaw. WAHIIINOTON , Oct. 20. The civil acrylca minority teport , which was ordered pnntoit M In the senate record , says that no informs- i tlon was furnltihod to the minority of the [ common operations of the civil service or of a purpose to close the case , nor was It ever intended that the end had been reached ami the matter summed up. For this reason the minority was uuablo , in the few days allowed them , to follow in detail the "tediously stated cose , " but it woula endeavor to exhibit - hibit moio fairness in dealing with the tostl' ' mony than the majority had done. Doapita the efforts of the majority , however , the re port declares it appeared from the testimony of several of their witnesses that all tfia evils and abuses complained of to-day came down to this administration as an inherit- anc j. The levying of assessments upon gov- eminent ofllclals for purtizan purposes win in general , If not universal practice , prlpr to March , 1345 , and discrimination in the mat ter of appointment because of political views was proven to bo by no moans a novel feiituro , nor ono which had been introduced by the pi escnt administration. Tlio minority declares that after reading the majority re port carefully thn conclusion is well nigh irresistible that improvement of the civil service reform of the country was not the idea to ha kept in view , and the purpose of the framcrs was not to cnliuhtmi the coun try , as win proposed in the resolution. The repot t concludes : If this proof , taken from four cities or from four atutcs , is to bo accepted ns evi dence of the present condition of the publiu service throughout the country , It will bu admitted that to day , after nearly four yean of democratio rule , there are ten republicans holding oflleo and drawing pay from the treasury where there wus ono democrat in the service on the tth of March , IMS. Under u democratio administration it is not to bt ) wondeied at if , the conditions being equal , picfcrcnce has been given to democratio applicants for ofllce. Whether the civil ser vice law bo good or bad , truth and candor compels the admission that its execution has been tnoro august ami fair under this administration than ever before. Whether the fidelity with which the presi dent and his subordinate ollleors have sought to observe this law was wise may bo dis puted , but the honesty of the purpose with which ho and they have endeavored to ex. ccute it cannot bo truthfully denied Tim army of hold-over republican ollicials is to day drawing its maintenance from the triiu.sury of the country , and , if current rcpoit bo true , contributing from their salaries to tlio cftoit that is being made to dislod u from po.vcr the party at whose sufferance thov hold their plucus. In the light of proof , suppressed and in many instance * dis torted , ns the majority report shows it la be , the question naturally arises , was- eVermore moro desperate effort made , employing inora desperate methods , to orvi' or save a moro desperate cauael Candor willjr.ot permit tua claim as presented. In every mstuiico every ofllcer of the government , supei lor and nub- ordinal , has been exactly nnd judiciously fair , nnd has acted wit.Vmt regard to'thu natural und inevitable bias that comes from siniero convictions ; but fair minded' men will take up the record nnd will declare that this administration hat not been lucking in an honest , earnest , persistent and Ruccusxful effort tn execute the law and uiuko good the plans that It and the p < irt.\ gave to the American people.
