SPEECH By SENATOR BAfARD.

ll0uk aSkauce ut this country, and SEQ II
filled with debt, - national, debt. ihdbici-
|pM debt. private dcbt--until the Whole
country looks 10 nlc like hugo mortgage,
Look At the glorious promises with which
tho republican, party four years ago trump
ed up its majorities. We would have spe-
Gle payment aud gold and silver shoald
again bc current among tho people. Gen.
tlenen, we are to-day further away from
specie payment than We were four years
ago. Do not believe that government
composed Of a number Of people can mako
itself ricL by tho issue Of paper money any
more than one Of you can take private
printing press aud grind wealth out Of It lUr
yourself.
This party has further promised recon-
struction. How have they reconstructed?
by reconciliation? Mol They have bro
ken every bone in the body Of the South.
There is another. q very serious objection TO
the ruling party--oflicial dishonesty. You
might as wcll try 70 carry water in seiye
as TO carry ON government successfully
with dishonesty in high places. Since tho
democrats attained majority in the House
Of Representatives look what On amount Of
dishonesty has been uprooted, aud then
look how these revelations were received.
Not q single republican member Of the
House but disapproved Of the exposure.
They have shown by their conduct of what
metal they are cast. Let them step down
and out.
Now who are tho republican candidates?
They are Hayes and Wheeler men of per-
sonal respectability, but little known.
They are men who have gone through their
political lives without scarcely making q
ripple on the surface Of the political ocean
On the other hand. what do We offer you?
Do 9e offer you obscure men? We present
you two men who are safely, houorably,
conducting the affairs Of two great States.
We present you Samuel j. Tiden. who
has ruled the State Of New York for the
last three years. -Four years ago New York
was ruled by rings. Now everything il
clean in the government. What less can
be said Of IIendricks? II is just this in the
present campaign: Obscurity against homo
rable prominence. ldo not deny that thero
are good, noble, honorable men in the Re-
publican party. But they are few I
know nothing against the honor Of the Re-
publican nominees. ! only say that they
are weak, obscure, while our nominees
have distinguished themselves abundantly.
John Philpot Curran and Father o. Leary
were great friends, and seemed to have
mutual respect for each others talents.
One day after dinner Curran said, Re-
verend father, wish you were st. Peter
! And why would you wish that?' asked
O,Leary Because, reverend father, in
that casc,s said Curran. you would have
ekeys Of heaven. and you could let mo
