Mr.. Heisley's Remarks.
FELLew CITIZENS. There was once a
timeHwhenaa a great naval hero OF the
i United States fought a noble battle on
Lake Erie, and at the close sent off a
dispatch saying, "We'ye met the enemy
and they are ours Iregret to be COM
pelled to say that the Liberal Republi-
cans and Democrats have met the enemy
and we're theirs.p [Cbeers.] Il am glad
to see this house filled with SO many en-
thusiastic Democrats Laughter] 1
suppose you are. Democrats or you
would not receive me so well. Inas-
much as You cheer Democrat SO loud
ly, why don't you vote for him? For
twelve long, weary years have held
OUT and fought for your political saliva
tion. [Laughter.l And for twelve long,
weary years you've refused to be saved.
Laugiiter.l Ittelli you, as a Democrat
Pm plucky, asa prophet I'm a failure.
[Violent Laughter I hope to see the
time when all your eyes will be, open,
but If you are as slow as you have been
in the last twelve years, it will take you
twenty years to see barn door six feet
away from you. Loud laughter and
cheers.l Gentlemen, hate to go home
tonight, because some one will surely
ask me how the election has gone. "a
voice-you can stay here-l l don't like
to tell them the truth. i don't see how
forty million men could take the worst
man and leave the best. fSeveral voices
we took the best.l didn't believe
you would triumph. 1 thought there
was. a God in Israel. Laughter. As
you have triumphed suppose we must
take care of the government for yon.
I've been troubled great deal for the
last few weeks about Greeley s cabinet,
but now that's all over. I've learned
that the people take little stock in agri-
culture. | believe Greeley % carried
Georgia and / don't know how Newll
burgh, has. gone. II the asylum had
not burned down Grant would have got
a big majority. Now, gentlemen, I've
talked enough for fun and TN talk in
earnest. We are defeated and we are to
have Republican administration for
four years longer and we all hope that
it will be, a good government. Let it
be an administration for, all parties.
Let there be no weeping or wailing or
gnashing of teeth, but wherever the
stars and stripes float let there a benefi-
cent government, under which 7every
citizen will find protection, prosperity
and happiness. stand here defeated
but we are not overcome. In four years
more we'll pick our flint and try it
again. BAIT / don't want SO many of
of you t., vote then. Laughter See
how happy you are in the presence of
one good Democrat. Think how happy
you would be if we took you all into
the fold and washed and purged you Of
your sins. Why; when heard the
news tonight 1 was not happy. Laugh
teri Ny knees smote together like
those of Belshazzar at the feast. But
would not let it be said that Sir William
was on the rampage so 1 came here to
meet You. Inow give you all an invi-
tation to join tile Democratic party.
Laughter But when you look for it,
mind | won't agree to find it. i Pro-
longed cheers and laughter.l My po-
litical life has been one of defeat, but l
stand true to my principles; "A pause
and silence.l Now why don't You cheer
that? fCheers and roars of laughter.
l have been true to my principles and
shall always remain so, But as Gener-
al Grant is reelected President. l pro
pose that he give us pure government
and that one and all Of us raise our
hands for the grand old republic under
which we all love to live. II my can
didate cannotlhold the olive branch in
his hand to offer 1t to all sections of the
country. Ihope General Grant VIII do
it, and In four years more you'n come
over and vote the Democratic iicxet?ij
IoiA Voice--We ean't-see it.l,i-slq
- Mr.. Heisley--Why don't you cheer
that ? Laughter and applalise.l iul
4 The speaker closed with an eloquent
description Of the greatness of our
country, quoting the sublime lines from
Goldsmith beginning with CIT
.'As some huge rock that midway lifts its
fOrm,' |
He was cheered. at every sentence of |
his speech, and held the audience con-
tinually in convulsions of laughter.
d After 4 few additional returns were |
read, the crowd began to disperse, and
the excitement and tribulations of the |
campaign Of 1872 were at an end. .--.,. |
