SPEECH OF Mr.. LEFFINGwELL
Mr. President and Fs'lo~ Citizens - In
appearing before you as . candidate for
your suffrages, am free to announce, as my
friend has just stated, that stand upon the
Cincinnati Platform-a platform, in the
words Of resolution passed at the late State
convention, broad enough and strong enough
to uphold and sustain every true patriot in
the nation.
admire the ingenuity displayed by my
friend. in attempting to misrepresent my
position. want it distinctly understood
that come on the Cincinnati platform, as
the eulogist Of no man. and l have NO man
to attack Such men as he has assailed
need no other defenders than themselveA-
must be permitted to remark that the peo-
pie are tired and sick Of the agitation Of the
theory which my friend has failed to settle
down to anything practical. He has also
come to you appealing to sentiment which
enlists the sympathies of the human heart.
He proposes to give every man . home
Now as far - that is concerned, if Congress
has the power and will do it, I am also in
favor Of giving every man . home. and l
will 60 further. and give you . :milch COW
| 10 boot.
have once been honored with your suf
frages for an Office in the State Legislature
and while Occupying the petition to which
l was elected, prepared with my own hand
the greater part of the Homestead Bill
While that gentleman talks Of this theory
he looses sight Of other matters Of impor-
tsnce. Have you no other interests to b<
furthsred than this theoryl The gentle
man accuses me Of appealing to your selfish
ness. pretend to say that you are al men
and while you entertain sympathy you ar
