you is because the white people are weak
Give the white people more strength, put the
white people in authority and, although they
murder you now when they are weak, when
they are strong they will letyou alone Laugh
ter and applause.] Yes; the only trouble with
our Southern white brethren is now they are
in the minority they kill you, and the only
way to save your lives is to put your enemy in
the majority" That is the doctrine of Abram
s. Hewitt, and he congratulates the colored
people of the South upon the Democratic VIC
.ory in Indiana. There is going to be great
crop of hawks next let us congratu-
late the doves. [Laughter.] The burglars
have whipped the poice-let us congratulate
the bank. [Laughter.] That is it. The wolves
have killed off almost all the shepherds
US congratulate the sheep. Laughter and ap-
plause. This is the same Abram s. Hewitt
who has endeavored to set the rotten teeth of
Democratic Islander into the live and quivering
flesh of that splendid man, James G. Blaine.
TCheers This same Hewitt that congratu-
lates negroes Of the South upon the prospect
of their assassins getting into political power
the next thing We hear from him is the Islander
against the name and reputation of q man OF
whom he is not fit to speak even in terms OF
praise. [Applause.l In my judgment the
black people have suffered enough. Theyhave
been slaves for 200 years. They have
been owned for 200 years, and more than all
they have been compelled to keep the COM
pany of the men that owned them. Laughter
and applause Think of that. Think
of being compelled to keep the society
Of the man who is stealing from you'll Think
of being compelled to live with the man that
sold YOUR wife, Think of being compelled to
live with the man that stole your child from
the cradle before your very eyes Think OF
being compelled to live with the thief of your
life, and spend your days with the white robber
and to be under his control The black people
have suffered enough. For 200 years they
were owned and bought and sold and branded
like cattle. For 200 years every human tie was
rent and torn asunder by the bloody, brutal
hands Of avarice and might. They have suf-
fered enough. During the war the black peo-
pie were our friends not only, but whenever
they were entrusted With the families, with the
wives and children of their masters, they were
true to them. They stayed at home and pro-
tected the wife and child Of the master while
he went into the field and fought for the right
to sell the wife and the right to whip and steal
the child of the very black man that was pro-
tecting him. [Applause.l gama
The black people. I say. have suffered
enough, and. for that reason, am in favor OF
this Government protecting them in every right
takes another war to do it. [Cheers.
We never can compromise with the South at
the expense of our friends. Never never.
Voices, "Never."[ We never can be friends
with the men that starved and shot our
brothers. Voices, ''Never."] We never can
be friends with the men that waged the most
cruel war in the world not for liberty, but for
the right to deprive other men OF liberty. we
can never be their friends until they are the
friends of our friends, until they treat the
black man justly; until they treat the white
Union men respectfully; until Republicanlsm
ceases to be crime until to vote the Repub-
lican ticket ceases to make you political and
social outcast, we want no friendship with
the enemies of our country. [Applause]
The next question is, Who shall have possess
sion of this country, the men that saved it, or
the men that sought to destroy it? The South
ern people lit the fires of civil war. They who
set the confagration must be satisfied with the
ashes left by the conhagration. The men that
saved this country must rule it. The men that
saved the ship of state must sail 1t. The men
that saved the flag must carry it. Applause
This Government is not far from destruction
when it crowns with its highest honor in peace
the man that was false to itin time OF war. [Ap-
plause This nation s not far from the preci-
pice of humiliation and destruction, when it
gives its highest honor to a man false, false to
the country when everything we hold Gear
trembled in the balance OF war, when every
thing sacred was left to the arbitrament of the
sword. li
Now, my friends, the Democratic party Git
you may call it partly brings forward as it's
candidate Samuel J.. Tilden, of New York. /
am opposed to HIM, first Because he is an
old bachelor. [Laughter.] In country like
ours, depending for its prosperity and glory
upon an increase OF the population, to elect an
old bachelor ls suicidal policy. Applause
Any man that will live in this country for sixty
years, surrounded by beautiful women with
ROSY lips and dimpled cheeks, in every dlmple
lurking q Cupid, with coral lips and pearly
teeth and sparkling eyes-any man that Will
push them all aside and be satisfied with the
embrace OF the Democratic party, does not even
snow the value of time. daughter and ap-
plause. hHl 81 Ri
am opposed to Samuel J. Tilden because he
ia a Democrat: because he belongs to the Dem
ocratic party of the city of New York the
worst party ever organized in any civilized
country. / wish you could see It, The pugll-
lists, the prize-fghters the plug -uglies. the
fellows that run with 1.-the masheen 2 nearly
every nose ia smashed, about half the ears have
been shot off. [Laughter.l And OF whatever
complexion they are their eyes are nearly al
ways black. [Laughter.] They have fists like
tea kettles and heads like bullets Laughter
I wish you could zee them. Ihave been In
New York every few weeks for tfteen years
and whenever go there / see the old banner
of Tammany Hall, 'sTammany Hall and Re
form - John Morrissey and Reform 5" Con
molly and Reform p John Kelly and Re-
form = William NJ. Tweed and Reform" and
the other day saw that same old nag, " Samuei
j. Tilden and Reform" loud laughter and
applause.] ta3 .,lIg 80
The Democratic party of the city of New
York never had but two objects-grand and
petty larceny. Laughter and applause.
Tammany Hall bears the same relation to the
penirentiary that the Sunday-school does to
the church. daughter and applause.] In that
school Samuel j. Tilden has been pupil. In
that school Samuel J. Tilden is now the head
teacher. Laughter and cheers The Demo-
cratic patty of the city of New York has stolen
everything it could lay it's hands on, and my God
what hands Ii we elect Samuel J. Tllden We
will have the Democratic party OF the city OF
New York to reform this country. Laughter
and applause have another objection to
Tiiden. He was a secessionist az the Begin
mig of the war. He is secessionist to-day.
He believes that every State in this Union has
right to snap what he calls the tie OF confed-
Grafton at it's pleasure, the same as nation has
the right to break a treaty, and that every
State has right to repel coercion as q nation
