paying our pensions or rewarding the toll
of the laborer. We have sought to place
the claims of the public creditor among
the sacred things of the nations faith.
We have tried to sustain a policy OF
ECONOMY which should make his debts sure
and wisdom which should place the ma.
tion's credit so high in the markets OF the
world that the public creditor, the pubic
Ipensioner, and he also who tolls. for the
public good in the workshop or inthe field
should all be paid in currency made good
by awise and honorable conduit of publ,
affairs.
Governor Seymour went on to say tina!
If the Democratic party succeeded in this
election it could of itself not make OF
amend laws. It would only be able to hold
the violent leaders of the Republican part,
in check. 1t could do no revolutionary
acts. So far as actual power is concerned.
a Democratic President would stand in the
same position held by Andrew Johnson
His vigorous nature, his bold and resolute
defence of the Constitutional rights, hi
able assertions of the true principles OF
Government, have not saved him even
from the violence of those opposed to him.
Much less has he been able to inaugurate
any invasion measures or any acts calcu
lated to disturb the public peace.
| Our hope is in this election to put into
the Executive offices those who could stay
the tide of competition; those who could
save from further injuries the system of
| Constitutional Governments; those who
could protect our people from legislative
wrongs. -
We feel, too, that our success would be a
rebuke by the American people of meas
ures which have been condemned as
strongly by many leading Republicans and
Republican presses as by ourselves. -
Ii the candidates on our ticket should be
elected, and if they should prove capable
honest and true to their trust. at another
election the people of the. United States
could go further and make Democratic
| House OF Representatives. In due tim
the character of the Senate could be
changed, and l belive the day is at hand
| when the judgments and votes of the Anne =
| ican people will restore again to power that
| time -honored party under whose intlu
ence our country was made great and pro. =
porous. None of those changes could be
made violently, nor could they endanger
the public peace; but they would all tend
in the end to promote the welfare and pros
periGy of the United States
| The meeting was then addressed in an
eloquent strain by Hon. Francis Kiernen.
Full 10000 people were in and about the
