but that they shall rejoice with you in
their confident trust that the Sth of October
has settled the fight on this election, and
that November will only re-echo and rever-
berate your triumph. Friends, will say
no more.
At Scranton he spoke as follows in re-
gard to
TIE PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.
GENTLEMEN: There is one idea, there
is one subject l have not yet touched upon |
in my journey thus far through Pennsyl- |
vania, Ohio and Indiana. I have been
asked the question constantly, upon all
sides, ''What will New York do in this
contest? How will size go? What will
be her majorities? On which side will
they lean"' / can say to you gentlemen,
that in the State Of New FORK the Liberal
Republican movement Is certainly as well
developed as in any State in which I have
yet been, and that is saying a very great
deal, for in the State of Ohio, as well as in
the State of Indiana, they cannot defeat
| the Liberal and Democratic parties with
| out great frauds are committed. The
! State of New 7 ork between the two great
| parties, on fair vote, is evenly balanced.
| A change of about 10000 votes either way
will throw the election over to the one
side or the other. To-day the Democratic
party of the State of New York is united
| it will poll its full vote. We have not less
than $4,000, beyond the shadow of doubt,
OF Liberal Republicans. But | do not
i think, considering all things-the great eff
| forts the Government has made with its
officc-holders, postmasters, collectors of in
ternal revenue and its other vast resources
- do hot think, under the circumstances,
that can safely say that We shall have
great deal over $4,000 Liberal majority
but If the States Of Pennsy lvania, and In
diana, and Ohio, all will give majority
! for the Liberal candidates, New Y Ork will
i've more, rather than less than 1000
majority. .yl
In reviewing the whole field, in the same
speech, he said;
Well ROW, one word more with regard to
What have seen and felt of popular up
rising within the last eight or ten days. Ii
VAS reported, 1 do not sac how truly, but
II was jOyfully telegraphed back that l left
New York despunding and sad. L say if that
we're i fact, had scarcely crossed the Del
aware Into Pennsylvania when L met such
joyous, confident, hearty people, that ali
tpprehenSlOnS were dlSpelled as | went
, from place to place. At Lancaster, Har-
tieGufg and Altoona, and at that mighty
uprising OF the people in Pittsburgh l was
not merely restored to confidence and
: cheertulness, but was glorIously upheld
, and strengthened. Then down through
the great State of Ohio. ICheering Peo-
pie Of Pennsylvania, some of you have dis
trusted Ohio. L bid you distrust her no
t longer. l have looked into the faces of
her intelligent, manly people. They are
. not dismayed by the charges made upon
them by CustOm-hOuse officers and the
t Treasury. No matter how many post
I office agents ride the State back and forth:
no matter how many Inspectors and SUI
pervisOrs Of Revenue there may be hurry
ing through from end to end, tell you
S that the people have resolved that their
8 voices shall be heard and their votes re-
corded on the side ofrecOnciliation and re-
form. [Applause.] From that State !
pass into Indiana. But why talk of Indi-
l ana? Her praries and her plains are alive
r with confidence. With cheerful, hearty
faith they say, Z" Send On your Vice-Presi-
,, dent" Send OF your Secretaries, send on
i your orators, gentlemen of the Renomina-
S ton party; we can stand them here Bring
them on, no matter how manv." They
= have made up their minds; they have
heard, considered, and decided, and shall
t be sadly disappointed if the majority fol-
y Hendricks as Governor of that State, and
+ the whole Reform ticket, which he heads
, is not told by figures nearer 10000 than
5000. [Applause.]
c Well, feloWcitizens, they have one re-
/ source yet left they have great deal more
money than we have, and they get money
great deal easier than we can. Laugh
teri They can afford to pay for votes
: but the people cannot afford to sell them.
}. Their immense Rings, their offices, all the
easy ways of making money in the country
are lavishly taxed to fill their party treasury
i and money flows over the land in immense
+ streams of corruption. They don't expect
o to carry the State unless they can buy it.
? and they cannot carry one Of these great
States unless they can corruptly influence
e voters by money. [CIies of "They can't
t do it" and cheers.] l tell you, my friends
that is your danger, and l call upon you
for most vigorous organization. Let
4 every mans elbow touch his nearest
neighbor. Let word so from voice to cal
throughout the whole State so that no man
is bought. They can buy Legislatures
and they know how they can bride meas
ures through Congress, for they understand
It. They can't buy the people, if there be
such organization, such unity of effort, that
every man is marked and known, so that
where their money goes you can watch ii
and see what it has done. | charge YOU
not to do what other men are telling you
: to do. Men say take their money and
Liien vote TISnC against Lne1n. NO, no
. don'5 disgrace yourself that way. Don't
touch their money. 1t will poison you if
you take it. ''Get thee behind me, Satan, y
, must be your reply to every man who
offers to buy your vote or purchase your alb
sence from the polls. Stand up to your
F manhood! Every dollar they put into
your pockets for votes they will take out
again in taxes and in other ways. APP
plause.
So, friends of Reform in Pennsylvania, 1
beg you to believe that your brethren in
other States, who are to hold elections
simultaneously with you, are acting to
make their verdict on the side of right as
amphatic as your own. Applause. l.
hey have resolved that whatever joyful
news you shall send them on the Sth of
October shall be" amply duplicated and
repaid by the news they shall send you in
return. So be earnest, be vigilant. Take
hold With the resoute purpose that you
deserve victory and want it, and the shouts
of an emancipated country shall drown
YOUR victory in the cheers of DC, 100000 of
| free, magnanimOuS and honest people.
