These are questions, gentlemen, which, as
soldiers who fought for their settlement,
we are bound to consider
. / hope that you will not think that |
am entering the field of political discus
sion, or that say anything inappropriate
to this occasion, when express the opin-
ion That the fond hope which we all
cherished at the close of the war, that our
Southern brethren, brought to realize
through fiery ordeal of bloody war a
sense of National duty, would soon learn
the lesson of forbearance and of respect to
the rights of the colored man, and that ii
would not be many years till they would
take their stand by Us on the broad plat
form of justice and equaity-that hope, |
regret to say, has proved but mere delu-
sion.
Who that is not blind to the facts can
resist the conviction that the same spirit
of oppression, the same logged and obsti
nate refusal to cheerfully accept and abide
by the unalterable results of the war and
the same spirit Of hostility to this Govern
ment exists throughout the South to-day,
and awaits but favorable opportunity to
reveal itself in all its hideous reality.
While | would not unnecessarily revive
dead issues, nor give otfense to any one of
opposite political views, you will surely
pardon me the exercise of that peculiar
right of the American citizen, the free and
public expression of opinion, and give me
credit for sincerity of purpose when |
say that | believe the time has not yet ar
rived when we can safely intrust this Gov
eminent, with large part of the precious
fruits Of our struggle yet ungarnered, to
the Beauregards, the Lees, the Johnsons,
and the Ben. Hills, with their coadiutors
and wishers the Vallandighams, the
Voorheeses, and the Hendrickses.
They were our enemies in those dark,
never-to- be-forgotten days of our country's
history when, with armed traitors in our
front and covert treason lurking in our
rear, it looked as if the cause of the
wicked would certainly prevail over that
Of the just, and, gentlemen, they have
given us no satisfactory evidence that they
are not our enemies now.
g Let me express the hope that with that
thorough comprehension of the interests
at stake, that earneStn ess OF purpose, and
that sincere desire Tor the Nations welfare
which so greatly distinguished you in the
past, you may march bravely to the polls
in November and cast your votes for that
distinguished soldier, that able, pure man

but an increased and stronger column Of
Republicanism than before. 1t negatives
the idea that any portion of the Republi-
cans have embraced Democracy or have
abandoned Hayes to support Tilden. In
1872 Indiana elected Hendricks Governor
but Ohio rejected the Democracy after
the Maine and Vermont elections but
the defeat-the failure of the Democracy
TO make any impression in Maine or Ohio
was accepted by the country as conclu-
siye, and before November the Demo
cratic party had become disintegrated and
made but little effort. The campaign
now rests where it did four years ago. As
then, the Democracy may carry Indiana,
but will sustain an Overwhelming defeat
in Ohio; and the drift Of popular feeling
as shown by Ohio, Maine, and Vermont
will leave but little hope in the Demo
cratic party, and nothing to inspire its
miscellaneous followers to prosecute their
struggle 10 the end. Had Maine wavered,
then there would have been Democratic
promise but the Maine election, excluding
all notion that any popular change has tax
en- place, chills the hopes Of the most san

The Elections.

Maine has responded to Vermont Yer
mont rolled UP ~ 600 majority over the
largest Democratic vote pollcd in the

increased majority over the heaviest Dem

unusual and extraordinary efforts bv the
Democrats in both these States 10 get out

upon kepuhliCautSm was a failure They
did pull an increased vote; but this was
met in both States by a full Republican
turn out, which not only overwhelmed the

Republican victory was equally decisive

The result in these two States leaves the
progress of the campaign precisely as
these elections left it in 1872 when Gree.

that year the Democrats estimated that a
gain of three per cent, on the popular
