life WAS filed with fraud, and whose election
could only be accomplished by fraud and Vio-
leuce, The Democratic party ought to go "
the name by which it was known during tn.:
War-the Copperhead party. That party must {
be defeated, and he believed that the WORK so1 u
defeating it was going bravely on. II was
natural that the Democrats should not like to
have public speakers talk Of the past, and SO
whenever any one alluded to the past record OF
the Republican party, they taunted him with
the tsbloody shirt" business. The speaker
closed after briefly aludins to the war SERVICES
of Gov. Hayes.
Mr.. Kirk Hawes had often considered the
phenomena Of political discussion, ana coula "a
never understand why people could get So
heated as to call each other hard names. He
had been in the War, and had as good reason
to feel hard towards the South as anybody, and
vet he was willing to talk calmly about the Dem
ocratic party. There were many. good men ID
thc Democratic party. They might be wrong ID
their ideas, aud yet they might be honest. Inc
Democratic party, in coming forward as REFORM
position Its record had been incongEuous with
any such claim. The st. Louis platform as
suIncd that the Republican administration OF
offices had been corrupt, and tnat ID ere oe
q change. This was certainly very unwlse as
sertion, The Democratic party had from the
yery first OF its history ignored the very first
principles which actuatcd the founders OF this
country, that all men we're created Tree and
equal. They had never recognized merit as
qualification for Office. They had no right to
claim to be reformers, holding the doctrines
that they did.
