DEMOCRATIC PIErY.
know my friends, / have done what
u can say it without egotism) no other
man in the United States ever did dol
have made the Democratic party pious.
[Great laughter ! have got them in that
peculiar religious frame Of mind, that
what time they can spare between drinks,
they put in quoting Scripture. Renewed
laughter had no idea Of the deep rich
vein of iervid piety that meandered
through that organization. had not the
slightest idea that the whole Of the Dem
ocratic party would come up 10 the help
o! the Lord against the mighty. They are
willing to-day to excite the spirit Of relig.
!. ious moderation. To-day they would be
willing TO let that demon Of Intolerance,
with its mouth filed with iangs-with its
iorked tongue resting in the hearts Of
men-they would let every demon rusn TO
the North and to the South, anywhere, TO
carry this election in favor OF dishonesty
and reform. But, what say IT, that the
| Republican party does not belong to that
school The Republican party believes
in allowing every man and every woman
to exercise their own reason upon all
those subjects. They are questions with
which politics have nothing to do. No
man has a right to put on the brogans Of
| impudence, and stalk and stumble and
stagger into the depth Of my soul. Ap-
plause. IL is simply question now Of
government and all these other ideas ev-
cry one may have for himself And the
Republican party-says 10 every man, do
your own thinking yourself Don't give
mortgage or deed OF trust on your will TO
ybody. In the Republican air there is
room enough for every wing that wishes
TO ily; in the Republican sea there Is
room enough FOR every sail the Republi.
can party bids every human soul be- as
an eagle and ily out OF this great intel
/ lectual dome. and let each man question
the stars for himself The Democratic
party says be an owl, and sit on a dead
tree [great laughterl, and only boot
when Samuel J. Tilden bids you.
The next thing. my friends, is that the
Republican party is in favor Of educa-
I ha holt m
schools. IL is the party OF reason. the
party Of argument, OF persuasion. slave
ry never argue. Never did and never
will. IL is founded upon force aud bar.
barism. and, although slavery has been
l done away, yet, in the South the barbar-
/ ism and the inhumanity, the cruelty up
on which il was founded, are there yet
I And IL is in the Democracy Of the North
yet. The Republican party, ] tell you, j.
| the party Of reason. The Democratic
party is the mob. A voice: Yes sir yes
sir [Great applause IL is the glory
Of the Republican party that IL Is filling

| pealing TO the consciences OF men, we are

pirations OF men; the Democratic party
/ appeals to the lowest prejudiccs-to this

The Republican party appeals TO the
