Second. We must protect the loyal people
of the South, white and black.
AS soon as the slaves were free, the Repub-
lican party said "They must be citizens, not
Migrants" The Democratic party opposed this
were made citizens The Republican party
then said, ''These citizens must vote; they must
have the ballot, to keep what the bullet has
won." The Democratic party said "No'
The negro received the ballot. The Republic
can party then said, "rhese voters must be ed
ucated, SO that the ballot shall be a weapon of
intelligence, not of ignorance" The Demo
cratic party objected. But schools were found
ed and books were put in the hands of the
colored people, instead of whips upon their
backs. We said to the Southern people, "The
colored men are citizens; their rights must be
respected; they ara voters, they must be al.
lowed TO vote; they were and are our friends,
and we are their protectors
All this was accomplished by the Republican
party.
1t changed the organic law of the land, so
that is p1oper foundation for free govern
ment; it struck the cruel shackles from four
million human beings; it put down the most
gigantic rebelion il the history OF the world
1t expunged from the Statute books of every
state, and of the nation, all the cruel and saw
age laws that slavery had enacted; it took
whips from the backs, and chains from the
limbs of men; it dispensed with bood-hounds
as the instruments OF civilization; it banished
to the memory of barbarism the slave-pen, the
auction block, and the whipping post; it puri-
fed the nation; it elevated the human race.
All this was opposed by the Democratic par
ty; opposed with a bitterness compared to
which ordinary malice is sweet. L say the
Democratic party, because I consider those
who fought against the government, in the
fields of the South, and those who opposed in
the North, as Democrats-one and all. In 9TH
er words. Democrat with musket was a
rebel, aud rebel without musket was a
Democrat. The difference consisted not in the
man, but in who held the musket. The Dem
ocratic party has been, during all these years,
the enemy of civilization, the hater of liberty,
the despiser of justice.
When say the Democratic party sympathized
with the rebellion, mean a majority of that
party. l know there are in the. Democratic
party soldiers that fought for the UnioL. l
do not know why they are there, but L have
nothing to say against them. L will never ut
ter word against any man who barred his
breast to a storm of shot and shell for the pres.
ervation of the Republic. When L use the
term Democratic party, 1 do net mean those
soldiers.

the audience and closed with graceful allusion
to Col. IngersolI.
Col. Ingersoli's Speech.
The Chairman then introduced Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll of Illinois. He was received with
applause We can give no adequate idea of his
speech of nearly two hours. Indeed, full re.
port could not do the speaker Justice. 1t is in
the man as much as in the matter.
His remarks were frequently interrupted
with applause. Sometimes every sentence
would be followed with a burst of applause.
1t was doubtless one of the most brilliant
stump speeches ever made in this CITY, The
audience would have listened until midnight.
The following is Co. Ingersoll's speech con-
densed. A great part of it is omitted, but
enough in the words of the great platform ora
tor is left to give the reader an idea of the
opinions the Illinois gentleman holds respect

That is to say, Congress has not sufficient
intelligence to fix the date of resumption. They
cannot Fix the proper time. But Democratic
convention has human intelligence enough to
know that the LIST day of January, 1879, is not
the proper date. That convention knew what
the state of trade in our country and the course
of foreign commerce and the condition of ex.
changes with other nations would be on the LIST
day of January, 1879. OF course they did ,aor
else they never would have had the impudence
| to declare that resumption would be impossible
at that date.
The next extract is more luminous STILL
"The government of the United States in my
opinion can advance to a resumption OF specie pay
ments on its legal tender notes by gradual and safe
processes tending to relieve the present business dis
tress II charged by the people with the admnstra-
so to exercise the powers with which it has may be
invested by Congress- the best and soonest to con-
duct the cocntry to that beneticent result"
Why did not this great statesman tell US CT
some gradual and safe process?" He prom
ises if elected, to so administer the government
that 1T will soon reach a beneficent result. How
| is this to be done? What is his plan? Will he
rely on "a human intelligence at tue helm, or
on 1.-THE central reservoir" or on some gradual
and safe procesS?
1 defy any man to read this letter and tell me
what Mr.. Tilden really proposes to do. There
| is nothing definite said. He uses such general
terms, such vague and misty expressions, such
unmeaning platitudes, that the real idea, if he
had one is lost in fog and mist.
Suppose should in the most solemn and i'm
pressive manner, tell you that the fluctuations
caused in the vital stability of shifting financial
operations, not to say speculatlons of the Wild
est character cannot, be rendered instantly &C.
countable to a true financial theory, based upon

cessity, except in vague thoughts of persons I'M

cannot, in the absence of a central reservoir of
| coin with human intelligence at the head,
hasten by any system of convertible bonds, the
expectation of public disrust, no matter how
wisely planned and discreetly pursued, failure
| is assured whatever the real result may be.
lCol. Ingersoll paid a glowing tribute to
Rutherford B. Hayes. Democratic sanderers
had searched him in vain for a flaw. He is the
soul of honor, of integrity. the representative of
progress and humanity. He also paid high
| compliment to Messrs. Blaine and Hale, and
said they did as much to defeat the purposes of
the Confederate House as any other men,.

This gentleman was still alive OF
Tuesday evening, his strength has beer
slowly failing since the injury on last
Sunday week, but his mental powers
have not failed him, and his sufferings
are not severe except what arises from
his utter helplessness, more than four
fifths of his body is entirely destitute
of both sensation and voluntary mo-
ton. On Tuesday an ineision was
made down to the tract of the wound,
which was sufficiently explored to as
certain that the ball was beyond the
reach Of surgery. and that ithad struck
the spinal column higher than was at
first supp posed about the third joint in
the neck. Nothing has transpired to
change the originally unfaYorable
prognosis of the physicians though the
unfortunate gentleman has already
lived considerably longer than was at
first anticipated.

mont, Friday morning, are that his Vi
tai powers are rapidly giving way.

great loss has been sustained by the
bank, by ourselves. by his family and
friends and the community at large. %,
In his business transactions, which
were extensive, he was so uniformly
