Buffalo speech concludes IL inc
Democratic party succeeded at TINS
election, it could not OF itsell MAKE
o, amend the laws. 1t would only
be able to hold the violent measures
of the Republican party in check
IL could do no revolutionary acts so
far as power is concerned. A Dem
ocratic President would stand in the
same position held by Andrew John,
son. His vigorous nature, bis bold
and resolute defense of constitutional
rights, his able assertions Of the true
principles of the government nave
not even saved him from the violence
of those opposed to him, much less
has he been able to inaugurate any
eyasiye measures or any act calcu-
lated to disturb the public peace.
Ou, hope is, in this election, to put
into the executive Offices those who
could stay the tide of corruption
those who could save from fu,her in.
juries the system Of constitutional
government; those who could protect
our people from legislative wrongs.
We feel, too, that our success would
be rcbukc by the American people
of measures which have been con
dcmncd SO strongly by many leading
Republicans and Republican presses,
as well as by ourselves. II the can
didatcs on our ticket should prove
capable, honest, and true to their
trust at another election the people
/ of the United States could 90 further
and make Democratic House oil
Representatives, and in due time the
character of the Senate would be
changed. | believe that the day Is
at hand whec the judgment and
votes of the American people VIII
restore again to power that time-hon'
orod party under whose ineteace
cur country was made great and pros
porous. None of these changes
would he made violently: none could
cnianger the public peace but they
would all tend in the end to promote
the welfare and prosperity of the
United States
