defeat was received, they shouted for
joy, and prayed Almighty to still con-
tinue the victorious army on plains and
mountain heights. There is not vote
in Congress, where your armies asked
for money or men, that you can find one
man of the Republican party recorded
against it. They managed this country
for four years. They prosecuted the
greatest war that history gives any ac-
count Of They caused our arms to be
successful in many victories They sent
up loyal songs and loyal prayers to
heaven. They gave US bread when we
asked for it. They gave US money
when our armies needed it to be paid
off They saved the country from the
jaws of treason. They saved it from
death They saved it when in its last
agonizing struggle against armed trea-
son, and when we returned home we
received their shouts Of joy and their
blessings They were our friends then;
they are our friends now. Cheers. I
But my fellow citizens, after this coun-
try was saved, during the whole time
that | have been speaking to you about,
let me ask you, in your own imagina-
tions draw for yourselves a picture Of
the other side. Take the Democratic
side. And if there is a Democrat here,
| ask him to stay and hear what | have
to say about it. | don't 90 around the
bush. / ask you if there is a Democrat
here to-day. / ask as an honest man,
because a man must see the error of his
way before he turns from it; | ask any
man to tell me of one single act that
was done by the Democratic party as a
party; one single vote given by the
Democratic party as party that was a
loyal one during the war. Voices
"not one."] You may search the re-
cords in vain at Washington. You
cannot find a vote of the Democratic
party registered in one solitary instance
given in favor of prosecuting this war
You cannot find vote in favor of fur
nishing supplies for the army, or for
supporting the Administration during
the war If you cannot answer that
question | want you to answer another
question, Can you point out one man
that was a leader of this conspiracy
against the Government of the United
States that was not a leading Demo
cratic politiciaul | defy any OF you
to point out one single man that help
ed organize this conspiracy against the
Government that was not a cOnspirator
against this nation ! ask you to point
ont one speech made by Pendleton, for
whom you have voted for Vice Presi-
dent; one sentiment uttered by Val
landigham, or your candidate for Gov,
ernor to-day, that was in favor of the
loyal soldiers of this country. | never
have seen one line Of the kind. want
you to show me in Ohio one single act
of the Democratic party, as a party,
that favored this war.
That is the record of the Democratic
party during four years of bloody war
While your sons and brothers, while
the husbands Of many Of you, ladies'
were falling thick and fast under storms
of shot and shell, that was constantly
being rained upon their heads, did one
of them congratulate the poor soldier
on his victory? Or one that mourned
with the widow or mother for the loss
of her husband or SOM Voices, mot
one. No, my countrymen, during tina
whole time their conduct was very diff,
, ferent. During the struggle of l776
there was party in this country called
Tories, and when our patriotic army
} gained battle these Tories met and
wept in sorrow. When they lost {
battle they met and rejoiced, becaus,
, they were beaten. So it was during the
four years of our bitter war Wher
, we gained victory, they found a secre
place to utter their curses upon tht
heads of loyal men. When we lost
} victory they found crowded places t.
