came those conscientious scruples, and
they didn't see any other way than to
get somewhere where these men
couldn't find out what they were do
ing. All through the whole country
there has been springing up these
| agricultural organizations. Farmers
didn't know what to do. They didn't
know who 10 trust. Get on 10 rail-
road ear and there would le the Judge
Of the courts with pass in his pocket.
There was your member of the Legis-
lature, and he had pass There was
your Sheriff of your county, and he
had pass. There was your influen-
tial clergyman that kept the brethren
straight, and he had a pass. And
then every lawyer of any prominence
around that could defend farmer,
why he had a pass. EVERYBODY had a
pass but the farmers, and the railroads
said they couldn't live. They were
not making any earnings. You plain
ly saw the reason. Up went freights,
up Went the prices of fares and every
thing else, and the people struck out
to the right and left, hitting the Judge
here, and there member of the Leg
islaturc, and all this time they were
fighting Samuel Tilden, whether they
knew IL or or not. Applause.l And
now this man has the impudence TO
appear before the agricultural classes,
and this man Is a reformer f") and
everyone that starts Democratic talk
says vote for reform. tell farmers
that they may just as well sell out their
land and move away and give up
farming as to place their most bitter
enemy at the head of this Government.
Ii was his railroad operations n suit
on the rerre Haute 4 Alton road
that was the Keynote to the exposure
of his frauds in relation To his income
tax, which he tries to get out of 10y
stating that he expended ii for the
benefit of his poor relatives. Laugh
ter. Now If the farmers of this coun-
try are going to support anybody's
poor relatives, il is their own poor reia-
tives, and not sam Til,len's. Laugh
ter.
When man gets certificates he is
half beaten. Always when you get
candidate on the defensive he is half
beaten. Set that down. Tilden has
already begun to got certificates. And
| read i'm a paper the other day cut
it out but cannot give you the name)
that a gentleman i'm New York City
said he was associated with Mr.. Til
den In these operations, and 'thcy
were legal" And he says that ''as
Christian gentleman and Republi-
can" Laughter. Now your Chris
tian gentlemen i'm these financial
transactions are all played out. Zap
plause. The first thing ever found
these men did, when was in Con-
grcss, to give character to their infa-
nous transactions was to go and get
some member Of the church to stand
ut the head Of it, and in one or two
instances they compounded their ras-
.cality by building church before
starting out with their deviltry
Laughter. And then, whilst in
dorsing Mr.. Tilden i'm all these trans
actions, he says he is n Republican.
Well, suppose he is. There are thieves
in the Republican ranks, and always
have been. Laughter. But there
is this difference between the Repub-
licans and the Democrats: the Re
publicans are not running their thieves
for President. Laughter and APP
plause.
A short time ago no one supposed
that this man TiIden was going to be
nominated for the Presidency. 1t was
cooked up by these railroad rings.
The first men who began TO manipu-
late his nomination in the Northwest
were men associated with him In these
rings. All through Illinois, all
through Iowa, all through Wiseon-
sin, all through Minnesota, all these
railroad men, Credit Mobilier men,
and all that class of men, were at
work for sam. Tilden, packing con-
yentions for his benefit.
