Democratic party was born under planets
that were in opposition. 1t lives in the OBJ
iective case. Like mule. sit has no pride of
ancestry; no hope Of posterity" II never
originates anything. 1t shines by borrowed
light. 1t has never been joined in honest
in open adultery with harlot called slavery;
lived with her till she died of corruption
and was buried amid the sobs and groans
of her paramour. The atmosphere that
surrounds Democracy is full of noxiOus
vapors that breed moral pestience and
death The sun never shines through 1t;
vice seeks its shadow and corruption
grows lusty under its unholy influence
Springs of purity are never ioq ';eo;.1 10
covered with the filth and scum with which
stsgnant pools and moveless waters always
offend the eyes of men. The soil which
Democracy has cultivated has failed to
weld harvests OF value to the nation, but
has given crops of worthless weeds and
briars. Democracy has no love of country;
believes in States instead of q nation; drives
loyalty from its doors and welcomes treason
to it's habitations; holds the deeds of our
soldiers and sailors az naught; strives to
blacken the names Of our heroes; weeps
over the lost cause: hates the blue and
loves the gray; stabs loyalty in the
back; binde up the wounds OF
treason and speaks words of hope
and comfort to it's devOtees; spp!auds
when helpless blacks are stricken
down in the South, and caresses the hands
red with their innocent blood; denies tho
rirht of American citizens to make homes
for themselves in the South; justifies tae
men who shoot them down or drive them
ont Democracy is curse to the land, the
source of our bitterest woes. the haven
where vice finds friends and crime Its apollo
oista and defenders. Democracy il orlanal
sin let loose to rend and destroy; it 10 the
spirit of evil, filling the swine of the nation;
the incarnation of unh0hness; the CHILD OF
the devil, its home should be In that outer
darkness where there Is weeping and wal
ing and gnashing of teeth. such. 1alnuy
