SPEECH OF GEN. THos. FRANCIS BOURKE.
FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS: Here, tonight, we
meet as Americans, seeking, If possibly can, our
nationality as boon that expected from this cOun
try. We would claim its right OF citizenship and we
here meet enjoying the high privilege OF citizenship, and
enjoying all that merit give to us but still there are
recouections which we brought from early home;
incfUT fufn hnCor
and the teachings OF those who gave us existence.
In remembrance Of those we say here. where have
right TO expect freedom and liberty where have
right to expect that universally shall be the
right Of ALL where the rights Of the people shall be
here have right to say, as American citizens,
that these nave not ., neen carried out ln tne
true spirit OF the constitution. AS Ilshmen,
we have been betrayed by the man who to-day occupies
the first position in America he has been recrcan not
principles Of American manhood. 1 am not desirous,
9yv lazy of the 70 admPstTaon aT Of President Grant,
but there are some things i would like 10 call
to your memory. I would ask you to remember his
OF the Alabama claims. lLaughterl The Alabama
when this country was at war England then exhausted
her miOns England then exhausted her ingenuity in
these prYateer the best OF her material in point Of
TO sink and swamp the American commerce, aud 70
America that time not able 10 make those claims.
When Commodore Wilkes seized the officers Of the Coned
crate States, had means then OF Iesenng IT, But
are at peaoe-entrely peaceful and quiet a
nation. To-day start "A unit and this who
cupies the White House-this man who swOre when he
accepted the oath that he would uphold the dignity
America and be to the teachings Of the American
COnstituton--this man has been rccreant TO bis
pledges, untrue 10 himself and 20 American manhood
that he stands by the fact OF his negligence to-day con-
Ycted before American people.
Gen Grant is believe and want TO say Il 20 my
friends-for feel it in my sOuhe is the nominee OF the
British Cabinet and Gen. Grant will receive ali the sup
port OF that Cabinet-a the outside they can give him
and all the support that BelmOnts give him to
return him as their next President tCheers.1
