lift Greeley into the White House next
November, what shout went up. Up
on the Tariff question, Mr.. TAllman.
was singular he averred that the
Democrats through Mr. Greeley were
safer to trust than the Republicans with.
General Grant on that question. Mr..
Hallman's whole speech was cunningly
devised, and sounded to me as though
he did not believe in it himself, and
that he thought his audience We're ig-
norant of what every voter ought to
know.
The taking out of National politics (or
an attempt to do SOY of the Tariff ques-
ton is q very skillful dodge of Free
traders. Every man of ordinary intelli-
gence knows that the Democratic party
has always been unfriendly to protec-
tive Tariff and consequently to home
industry; their orators upon every
stump in other campaigns have de
nOunced a Tariff as robbery of the
poor man; but have failed to convince,
hence now they fear to open the
Tariff question, and If they by
chance blunders upon it they try to
deceive by mis-statements, we all
know that our country is prospeFing
under the beneficient influence of the
tariff-and that the Republicans inaugu-
rated it and sustain it against the con-
tinued and frantic assaults OF the Dem
ocrats; tariff men should not be deceived
by false friends. Mr.. Tailman did not
allude once to Gen. Grants bull pups
or HOSES, or presents, or relations;
whether he forgot them, or omitted
them out of self respect, or whatever
cause I have to thank him, for / feared
he might injure our prospects ofsuccess
by SO doing. Mr.. TalIman was ap-
plauded generously, and most encour-
agingly appreciated by the audience;
/ the house was as full as could comfort
ably 3e seated. Col. Poorman here
came in all besooted and bedusted with
travel and hoarse as a trombone, he
had Just stopped to tell them he had
found in his travels 4100 Greeley Re-
publicans, and all the Democrats would
vote for him, and he felt sure that he
would be elected to Congress at which
Joyful news his audience were radiant
with Joy and jubilant to degree that
was astonishing; ''be keerful Samuel,
saws the older Weller, be keerful don't
get elevated too much, your peradven-
ture might fall and bust"
