=. l.. The entire destruction of the rot
tenest institution that ever disgraced
any country-the Democratic party. =
Loud applause and roars of laughter
at this unexpected sally.1
SENATOR CREswELI-"That is enough
to balance the other side"
2. The entire destruction of the party
that has filled its mission and disgraced
itself in its victory by striking the
South whilst it was down, and unseemly
squabbles among its leaders for the
spoils. [Cries of "No," and applause
from the Conservatives q
TRAM" Well, if not quite done
your July session of Congress is sure to
burst it,"
3. The wiping out of two words which
grew into ideas-secession and abolition
[Applause.] .
4. The fact made public that America
in her grandeur could reduce 1000, ,00O
of an army to $4,000, and 200 war ships
to so in sixty days. Loud cheers
5. The publication that America pos.
sessed 100000 square miles of home
steads for all mankind, and had no latch
key on the nations door. Loud ap-
rlause.
6. The startling fact demonstrated
that we can hitch on hawser to Liv-
erpoOl and tow over the entire popula-
tiOn in emigration in a single year-a
dozen Hamburgs and Bremens thrown
in. [Applause.]
Z. The advertisement to the world
that Columbus was right about the
short road to India, and that America
could build, whilst battlefelds were
red with blood, a great railway across
this Empire, loud cheers making these
wsrds of mine, spoken at Omaha, the
great central city, proverbial: "Paris
to Pekin in thirty days! Two ocean
ferry boats and continental railway !!
Passengers for China this way! Loud
cheering.]
Yes, gentlemen, said Mr.. Train, when
the world discovers that / have been
making money instead of making
speeches, and that the grandest insti-
tutions of this or any other nation-the
Credit Mobilier, the Credit Fdncier, and
the Pacific Railray-were organized
over my table, loud cheers they will
find some better term for a man who
succeeds than that of calling him a
d-n fool or a lunatic. Applause.
In. tead of coming down on this excur-
sion to lose time in picnicing, l am
down here to look after my interests in
M fn
collect 100000 due me, which Mr..
Greeley, Mr.. Perry and Mr.. Macpher-
son promise to attend to. Applause
When l started out in life,
Travel was my idol; the
world doubted. Then / tried knOwl-
edge; l got no praise. Then books;
they ridiculed. Then languages; they
sneered. Then patriotism; they cheered
first, then knocked me down in Boston,
shot at me in Dayton, bayoneted me in
Davenport, arrested me in st. Louis,
and tried to assassinate me in Alton.
But in spite of this have kept my in
and my individuality.
[ Loud applause | asked the world
what it wanted; it replied money. l
have made it, and am now devoting my
time to that, simply out OF contempt
for the opinion OF men. No more soft
ening of the brain but hardening of the
heart. [Laughter.l
When | go into the political line |
shall strike right and left, and shall
ask the people whether they are will
ing to tax themselves $4,000, ,OOO, 900 10
cancel the debt in thirty years, in order
to pay European bondholders and New
England contractors; or will they in
sist on changing our s. 500, 900, 900 bonds
into s., SOC, 600, 900 of greenbacks. Sen
sation.l Let the cry go forth, "Down
with specie payments and up with the
Greenback agew [Applause and misses. ]
Hence, were / demagogue, my plat
form would be Woman Suffrage, Repu-
diation and He'll Fire. Immense
laughter, after which the party de-
scended the mountain.
