ment to their par value, and maintain the
public faith Of the nation untainted. He
sharply criticised and denounced as waste

cal adaninist sation Of the 8 Republican
administra tion, and declared that The

Democratic party TO power, for the politi-

clared In its Chicago plat form, would only,
teEd to perpetaateo evils. The Republi-
can party has pledged itself to keep up its
negro policy, audit is impossible to give
the untutored Africans at the South uncon-
frolled power of the Government, property,
and laws Of TIE people Of ten States, BY ex-:
Guiding the white voters, without military
despotism. Ii cannot give to three millions
OF tnegroes more senators than are allowed
to fifteen millions of white men without
keeping up great standing armies.
Without general anlliesty, and the re-
seryationy Of the suffrage to all the whites of
the South, q great standing army must be o
standing institution. IA
In order to curse the South with military
desp0tism, negro rule, and disorganized
labor and industry they curse the farmers
of the North with taxation mechanics with
more hours Of toll, the laborers and pen
sioners with debased paper, the merchant
with shifting standards, and the public with
G dishonored and tainted national faith.
The world not only saw the monstrous
diversion of the money wrung from the peo-
pie by taxation, but it saw that it made,
through long series of years, still greater
annual expenses unavoidable.
When the entire control of the southern
States is given over, unchecked by the in
telligence of the white race, to the untu-
tored negro, whom the people of the South
have said were unfit to be voters; when
the unfortunate Africans, drunk with unu-
sual power, and goaled on by bad and de-
signing men, shall make life and property
unsafe, and shall shock and disgust the
world with outrages, we shall then be
forced to raise and pay still greater armies.
Up to this time the South has had at
least On intelligent tyranny in military
officers. Every man whom it had branded
by hate or bigotry looks forward with horror
to the condition of the South under negro
domination.
On the subject Of the future candidate Of
the Democratic party for President, Mr..
Seymour said have said nothing in be-
half or against the views Of any one who
is spoken of as candidate for the Presi-
dency on the Democratic side. have only
said what each one agrees to and is in favor
of. No man has been named who is not in
favor of reducing expenses and then max
ing our paper as good as gold. No man
has been named who is not in favor of cut
ting down military expenses. No man has
been named who is not in favor Of using the
money drawn. from the taxpayers to pay
the public debt. No man has been named
who is not in favor of general amnesty to
the people Of the South. No man has been
named who is not an upholder of constitu-
tional rights. No man has been named by
the Democratic party whose election would
not help the taxpayer, the pensioner, the
laborer, and the bond holder.
The speaker concluded with an appeal to
all classes-East, West, North, and South
to unite in an effort to restore the country
to peace and prosperity, and to drive from
power the common enemies of liberty, hon
esty, honor, rights, and constitutional law.
