The other day 1 was going along the road
and / came to q place where 1t had been
changed, and the guide-board did not know 1t.
Tt had stood there for twenty years pointing
industriously, pointing diligently over to a
deserted field; nobody ever went that way, but
the guide-board thought the next man would.
[Laughter.1 Thousands passed, and, notwith-
standing the fact that not one went In the
direction of the guide-board, through calm and
shine and storm it pointed diligently into the
old field. and swore to it that the road went

ocratic party of the United States. daughter ]
I saw a little while ago place on the road
where there once had been hotel. The hotel
had gone down over thirty years ago, and there
was nothing standing but two desolate Chin
news M the flues Of which the fires OF hos
pitality had not roared for thirty years. The
fence was gone, and the post-holes even were
obliterated, but there was sign IN the road,
and on the sign were the words Entertain
| ment for man and beast" The old sign swung
and creaked in the winter wind, the snow fell
upon it, the sleet chung to it, and in the sum
mer the birds sang and twittered and made
| love upon it; nobody ever stopped there, but
/ the sign swore to 1t, the sign certified to it :
Entertainment for man and beast" And /
| said to myself t'Sucn is the Democratic party
OF the United States and one chimney ought

ought to be called Hendricks" [Laughter.]
! / saw also by stream building that had
once been mill all the clap boards nearly
were gone, and the roof leaked like an average
| Democratic wool-hat with the top burst through
| there was sign hanging by one nail Cash
| for wheat" Not kernel had been ground
there for thirty years. the old mill had fallen
| off it's gudgeons into the street, and it was as
| dry as though it had been in the final home OF
the Democratic party for forty years. Laugh
| ter and applause The dam was gone; no.
body hal bniIt new dam the mill was not
| worth dam [Laughter.] And said to my
self, "That is exactly the condition OF the
Democratic party to day." The Democratic
party, say, is incapable of advancement; the
only stock that they have in trade to-day is
| the old infamous doctrine OF Democratic State
| rights. There never was more infamous doc
| trIne advanced on this earth than the Demo
cratic idea of State rights. What is it 1t has
| its foundation in the idea that this il not
nation it has it's foundation in the idea that
this is simply confederacy, that this great
| Government is simply bargain, that this
great, splendid people have simply made
trade and that the people OF any one Oh the
States are sovereign to the extent that hey
have the right to trample upon the rights OF
their fellow citizens, and that the General
Government cannot interfere. The great
Democratic heart is fired to-day, the Demo
cratic bosom is bloated with Indignation be-
cause of an order made by Gen. Grant sending
troops into the Southern States to defend the
rights of American citizens Who objects to
soldier going? Nobody except the man
who wants to carry an election by fraud, by
violence, by intimidation, by assassination. and
l,y murder. The Democratic party is willing
to-day that Tilden and Hendricks should be
elected by violence; they are willing to-day to
go into partnership with ASSASSINATION and MUIR
der : they are willing to day that every man in
tile Southern States, who is friend to this
ULion, and who fought for our hag-that the
right of every one OF these men should be
| trampled in the dust, provided Tilden and
Hendricks will be elected President and Vice
President Of this country. They tell us that
State line is sacred that you never can cross
| it unless you want to do mean thing; that II
yoll wish to defend the rights OF men, then it
| is q sacred line and you cannot cross it. Such
| is the infamous doctrine OF the Democratic
party. Who, I say, will be injured by sending
soldiers into the Southern States! No one IN
! the world except the man who wants to prevent
! an honest citizen from casting legal vote for
the Government of his choice For my part
| think more Of the colored men OF the South
| than I do of the white disunion men OF the
South. [Applause.l For my part, think
| more of q black friend than do OF white
enemy. [Applause.l For my part, l think
more of a man black outside, and white in,
than do Of man who is white outside and
black inside. [Applause] For my part.
think more Of black justice, OF black charity,
and of black patriotism than do OF white
cruelty, than I do of white treachery and
treason. [Applause.] As a matter OF fact, ali
that is done in the South to-day of use is done
man does everything that is done in
the South, except devilment. The col
cred man raises everything that is raised
in the South, except hell. Laughter and
cheers. And | say here tonight that think
one hundred times more of the good, honest,
black. industrious man of the South than l do
of all the white men together who do not love
this Government [applausel and l think
| more of the black man IN the South tnan 90
of any white man in the North that sympathizns
with the white wretch that wishes to trample
upon the rights of that black man. Applause
I believe that it is a Government first, not
| ONLY of power but that it ia the right or this
Government to march all the soldiers In the
United States into any sovereign State OF this
Union to defend the rights OF every Amerlcan
citizen in that State. Applause. Voices,
ssThat's so;" ''That's the doctrine."] 1t it
takes the last man and the last dollar am in
favor Of killing enough Democrats to protect
the rights of Union men. Good, GOOD :"
cheers Government that will not protect
it's protectors a Government that will not
stand by It's friends Government that will
not defend its defenders, is disgrace to tire
nations OF the earth. and the flag that viii OF
protect them in their own country is dirty
rag that contaU.nates the air in which it floats.
It is considered by all-Democratic and Re-
publican--that in time OF war this Gov
eminent can come to your house, come
i to YOU shen you are sitting with your
family at your freside, sitting there with
YOUR children, everything happy and delight
ful-this Government has the right to take you
and march you down into the valley Of the
shadow of hell. and, standing. you by the red
roaring guns make you fight for the flag OF
your country Applause Now, suppose the
Government does it. and you go and fight, and
your Government is victorious, and you go
home, and there you find few Democrats who
sympathized with the enemy, and they en-
deavor to trAnple upon your rights is it not
the duty of the Government that made you
fight for it to defend you in the time of peace
[Applause voices, Yes u If it is the duty OF

| when you were compelled to go into the army,
, how much more is it the duty OF the Govern
