Samuel j. Tilden denounced the war
as an outrage. No man ever should be
President OF this country that de-
nounced war waged in its defense as
an outrage. To elect such a man
would be an outrage indeed. Samuel
j. Tilden said the old flag carried by
our fathers over the fields OF the revo-
lution; the old flag carried over the
fields OF 1912; the glorious old flag
carried by our brothers over the plains
Of MexHo; tho same banner carried by
our brothers over the cruel fields OF
the South-Samuel J. Tilden said that
flag stands for a contract, that il stands
for confederation, that that nag
stands for bargain. But the great,
splendid Republican party says: mo;
that flag stands for great, hoping. as-
piring, sublime nation, not for con-
federacy." lApplause. am oppos-
ed, say, TO the election OF Samuel j.
Tilden, for another reason. III Ls is
elected he will be controlled by his
party, and his party will be controlled
by the Southern stockholders in that
party. They own nineteen-twentieths
Of the stock. and they will dictate the

who are sorry they didn't destroy the

mics of every friend OF this Union;
that is TO say, the murderers and the

Southern country. Applause.
And, on the other hand, the Repub-
lican party have put forward Ruther-
ford b. Hayes. Applause. He is
an honest man. The Democrats will
say, That is nothing" Well. let them
try it. Applause and laughter. +
Rutherford b. Hayes has a good char
acter. A good character is not built
upon q prospectus, but upon a good
record. A good character is made up
not Of what you agree to do. but Of the
good things yos really have done. II
you could make O good character on
promises, the Democratic party would
have one to morrow. Laughter. l.
But a good character rests upon good
action, upon something already accom-
plished. Rutherford u. Hayes, when
this war commenced. did not say with

tribute to the prosecution OF this war. ="

Now, my friends, there is one thing
that troubles the average Democrat,
and that is the idea that, somehow, in
some way. the negro will get to be the
better man. Laughter. That is the
trouble in the South to-day, and / say
