believes in the equality Of human
lives. l believe it. l am willing 70
give to every human being every
right that | claim for myself. Every
man who won't do that is rascal.
My friends, believe the world is po.

arc getting better all the time. Samuel

dent. l believe we are getting better,
and every day the Republican party
is in power we will be getting better.
And howp BY free labor and free
thought. Free labor will give us
wealth. Free thought will give us
truth. Free labor has done every
thing that has been done in the United
States, because the problem of free la.
Dor Is to do the most work in the least
time, and slage labor is to do the least
work in the most time The political
principles of the Republican party are
as broad as this contiuent-as exten.
slve as humanity itself. They vel.
come every one to this country who is
a friend of humanity and of human
progress. We believe it is right to
allow every man to do his own think
ing and to express his own thoughts.
We will suffer no fetter on the brain.
no chain on the hand of man. Gre.
newed applause.)
EVERY TnvAr NAN
if he be white or black, must be pro.
tected. In the days of slavery in the
South the whipping post and instlu u.
ments OF torture, compelled obedience
from the slaves. To-day they know
and act upon the principle that if you
can't convince a man you can knock
him down. If "a man won't vote as
they want him to they know that the
knife can make one voter less that
one gun can do more toward convert.
ing man than twenty churches. The
Republican party has sworn to protect
every man in "life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" and it intends
to do it. The worst ward in the citv
of Pittsburgh is the one that will give
the biggest Democratic majority.
Why, out of 140 voters in the State
prison of Maine, 139 are for Tilden
and Hendricks. And that is the party
of Reform! daughter and applause.
The best recipe that l can give you to
keep out of the Penitentiary is to vote
the Republican ticket, (Applause)
The Democrats object to having a
standing army of twenty-five thous.
and men for thirty-eight States, and
yet it takes twenty-five hundred DO
licemen for the city of New York to
keep the Democratic friends from
picking your pocket on the way from
the depot to your hotel.
THE CANDIDATES.
But now let me speak of the candi.
dates of those two parties. The Dem
ocratic party have put forward Mr..
Samuel j. Tilden. Mr.. Tilden is
Democrat who belongs to the Democra.
tic party Of the city of New York, and
the Democratic party of the city of
New York never had but two objects
and petit larceny. Aaugh.
ter and applause) In Illinois, we
have always heard that Tammany
Hall bears the same relation to a pen
ltentiary that Sunday School does to
a church. (Laughter.) l don't say
it is so, but simply state it as l hear
it there. / have heard that the Dem
ocratic party got control of New York |
when it did not owe a dollar, and |
have stolen and stolen until it owes
$3.50, 900; and | understand that |
every election they have had was a
one. / understand that
they stole everything they could lay |
heir hands on. And, oh, what hands |
Laughter and applause) Grasped |
and grasped and elutched, until they
stole all it was possible for the people |
o pay the interest upon, and now
hey are all yelling for honesty and |
'eform. understand that Mr.. Tilden |
vas pupil in that school, and that he |
s now a steacher in that school. |
,Laughter.)
HAYES RECORD.
On the other side another man has
been nominated-Rutherford B. Hayes.
IN the first place, he is an honest man.
You Democrats will say that is not
nuchsbu l ask you to try it once.
Rutherford b. Hayes is a patriotic
nan, and when the war commenced
b. Hayes said, 81 would
.ather go into this war and be killed |
n the course of it than live through |
t, and have taken no part in it,"
.Applause.) Compare that with Mr..
Iilden's refusal TO sign the call for the
Union meeting in New York. All the
Democratic snakes, with their forked
md poisonous tongue stuck out, have
lot found in the reputation of Gov.
Hayes creyiee in which to deposit /
