did not expect to meet here, this
great coneourse of people. | have gone
out to speak to the citizens of this coun-
try upon the questions which now agi-
tate the public mind. 1t is said | am an
interested man, and so is every man who
pays taxes and helps to support this
Government As candidate | am not
to be looked upon as one perfectly dis
interested, although [ am most correct
and sincere in the views | advocate but
how would it be if none of those who
had an interest IN this contest were to
take part in it? Would PENNSYLVANIA
have voted fer the Republican ticket
little while since, if every Office holder
had kept away from the contest2 TCries
Of no, no.
l find when look over the list Of
government officials, that they number /
more than 60,000 / contend that with
the impartial people who have no other
relationship with this government, ex-
eept as good tax payers aud citizens, and /

the questions OF the day. [ am soon to /
leave here and the time will not admit of
my doing so. [ can only give you one |
or two words of exhortation We are (
now about to perform great and solemn
duty, one that is to be far reaching in I
Its consequences. Whatever mems po-
litical views may be, they should exer
else them fearlessly, unAinchingly and
honestly; and no man can afford now to
cast his voteIfor any consideration but
for the good OF his country, for upon
this election hang many things concern
ing not only its present but its future
welfare. Let US lay aside passion and
and address questions which
we are to act on in calm, dispassionate
and patriotic method. | im peach no
mans 5 patriotism, because he does not
think as / think. | impugu no mans
motives, because he can'tsee things as l
see them. I only expect all men, " hat
ever their political views may be at this
line, to reflect when they think on the
'oksanu duties of the day, as to what is
oB-fhe best interest OF our country.
Cheers. We are prone to indulge too
much in abuse; let us not act upon our
,rejudices against each other let us not

,e drawn of the candidates for office, for
may say for my political opponent, as '
Teil as tor myself, that no man ever con-
emplated the duties of the Office of the
PRESIDENT of the United States without T
eing filed with the most earnest desire
D do justice to himself, and to do his a
uty to the land which we all love.
Cheers. A voice-''That's true, sir
