Had We not done enough for posteTi-
" when We saved the nation2 Those
who live until 1901 will see over 1OO,'
600, 900 population here to pay OF the
remoant of the public debt.
Mr.. Pratt then proceeded to discuss
the question of subsidies to cor.
porations, of which he gave an elab'
rate explanation, but the want OF time
and room precludes the possibility OF
publishing it In this issue.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Pratt's
speech, Captain H. Clay Gooding was
introduced to the audience.
Mr.. GoodiDg said he would not pre-.
sumo to suppose that. after the able
address of Senator Pratt. he could in
struct the audience, but being can.
didate for tEifing Office (CJngress),
it would be expected of him to give
some of his views on current political
questions.
The Senator had given Us the rec
ord of the Republican party; he
would take short review of the rec.
ord of the Democratic party. They
had had control Of the State govern
ment for seventeen long years of peace,
aud how did it manage affairs2 When
it concluded to hand over the control
to the young Republican party, itleft
the State ten millions in debt.
They had tried to shift the respon-
sibility of this upon the old Wing
party from whom they had received
the government. but what we're they
doing those long years of peace, that
they could wipe none of it out2 He
would admit that a part of it had
been inherited from the Wing party,
but why had it been increased and not
reduced. Il had been increased two
millions in the years previous to
1861. What had been the record of
the Republican party? In the few
years it was in power, it had wiped
out the debt ofseventesn years stand
ing, and left the State free. ~
1t was a habit of that party to
plunge into debt. for they left the
General Government in the same CON,
dition after years of profound peace.
Thus we have their record. They
started out with the assertion that the
Government had no power to put
down rebellion; they asserted that
greenbacks were unconstitutional, and
opposed everything, and in short be-
came party whose principles were
finding fault, complaining and opPo-
sition.
As an illustration of their dispo-
sition to find fauld and oppose, he re-
lated that a waggish Congressman
took resolution from the Democratic
platform. read it in Congress, and
moved its adoption, when Instantly
Democratic members objected; it was
unconstitutional.
Judge Niblack had once said, it
was because it came from a bad source,
to which the Captain replied that be
admitted that. as it came from DEM
ocratic platform.
The Democrats try to make votes,
not by appealing to mems best feel
ings and impulses, but to their preju-
dices and passions, where we appeal
to mems minds and the best impulses
of their hearts.
The Captains speech was an excel
lent one, but the same cause which
necessitates the abridgment of Mr..
Pratt's speech. compels US to forego
mining il more fnllY.
