Col. BOB. 1NGERsoLL arraigns the
Democratic party in this vigorous
style, the truth of which cannot be
gainsayed:
Hold on; / have not got through
my indictment yet. A voice
Every man who believed that slavery
was divine institution; that the
bay of the bloodhound formed a part
of the music of the Union; every
man who believed that human be-
ings should be bought and sold upon
the auction-block like cattle; every
man who believed that another
should be made to bend in burning
sun under a masters lash without
compensation-every one of these
men was and is Democrat. Every
man that wept over the corpse of
slavery; every man that denounced
and damned the Emancipation Proc
lamation, the grandest document
ever issued since the Declaration of
Independence, was and is a Demo
crat. Applause. The man that
assassinated Abraham Lincoln was u
Democrat; every man that was glad
Lincoln was assassinated was a
Democrat-every one. l don't say
that all Democrats were glad of it,
but every man that was glad of it was
a Democrat. lApplausel. More
than that, every man who endeavor-
ed to impair the credit of the United
States when 1t wished to borrow
money to buy shot and shell to kill
Democrats with laughterI was a
Democrat. Every man that said the
bonds never would be paid; every
man that said the greenbacks were
worthless trash--eyery single, soli-
tary one was Democrat Tap
plause.
So much did they slander and so
much did they malign the credit of
our glorious country that at one time
during the war gold went up to 300.
What did that mean? It meant that
a greenback dollar was worth only
thirty-four cents. What became of
the other sixty-six cents2 They
were lied out of the greenback, they
were maligned, and slandered and
eliminated out of the greenback.
Whom by? By the Democratic par
ty of the North. Applause, and a
voice, "Rully boy" Two-thirds of
the great debt put upon the shoul-
ders of American industry were put
there by the Democratic party of
the North; the other third by the
Democratic party of the South. Ap
plause.
When the Democrats talk about
hard times let them remember that
they made the debt. Let them rec
ollect that they piled this mountain
upon the shoulders of American in
dustry. Whenever you work to pay
it, whenever you blister your hands
to pay taxes, then pull off these
hlisters and under every one you will
find Democratic lie. Cheers and
laughter.

Constitution of the United States
was elevated and purified pure as the
driven snow. 1 understand that he
regretted when the stain was wiped
from oir flag and we stood before the
world the only pure Republic that
ever existed. 1t is enough for me to
say about him, and since the news
from Maine you need not waste your
time IN talking of him.
HOW GENERAL HAYES FOUGHT THE
REBELS.
On the other side there is another
man. Rutherford B. Hayes. Tire
mendohs applause 1 want to tell
you something about this man. In
the first place he is an honest man,
he is patriotic msn, and when the
war commenced Rutherford B. HAYES
said: q would rather go into this
war anfbe killed in the cause of it
than to1ive through it and take no
part IN itr APPLAUSE Compare,
if you please, that with Mr.. Tilden's
refusal TO sign a call for a Union
meeting in this city of New York,
headed by that honored man who was
at that time a stanch Democrat, Gen
eral John A. Dix. Applause.
Rutherford B. Hayes is, as I said,
patriotic man; he went and dis
persed rebel meetings whea Mr.. Til
den refused to disperse these meet
ings. He bears now three wounds
in his flesh while helping his coun-
try in this manner. He is also man
of good character, and, as I said be-
fore, good character can not be made
in day; good character is made up
Of all good things; all the ennobling
things accomplished go into this
grand thing called character, and the
character of Rutherford B. Hayes
rises before the people to-day like a
dome of honor, of patriotism and in
tegrity. Tremendous applause. All
the Democratic snakes, with their
tongues thrust out, can not
find a crevice in the character of Mr.. |
Hayes in which to deposit their ma
lignity. Imagine man so good that
the Democratic party can not lie
about him. would also say William
A. Wheeler is also stanch Republi-
,an as ever there was in the party. |
Applause. There is no one great.
er advocate of reform than he. APP
olause.

The Democratic party have as their
candidate for the Presidency Mr..
Samuel J. Tilden. 1t is enough for
me to say of him that he is a Demo
crat. He belongs to the Democratic
party of the city and State of New
York. The Democratic party of the
city of New York, as l understand it,
and we have heard it out West, never
had but two objects, grand and petit
larceny. Great applause. We have
always heard out West that Tam
many Hall bears the same relation to
the penitentiary that a Sunday school
does to the church. Laughter and
applause. l understand that the
Democratic party of the city of New
York got control of this city when it
didn't owe dollar, and that it has
managed to steal until it now owes
about one hundred and sixty million
dollars. understand that every con
tract ever made by the Democratic
party Of the city Of New York was
larceny in disguise. Applause. l
understand that every election they
ever had was fraud. / understand
they stole everything they could lay
their hands upon; and Oh, what
hands! Laughter and applause.
They grasped and clutched until they
stole all that it was possible for the
people to pay interest upon, and then,
clapping their enormous hands to
their bursting pockets, they began
yelling for honesty and REFORM
Laughter and applause. I under
stand that Mr.. Tilden was pupil in
that school, and that he is now a
teacher in that school. I understand
that wheGSthe war commenced he
said he would never aid in the prose-
cution of that outrage. / understand
that he said in1860 and 1851 that the
Southern States could snap the tie of
confederation as Nation would
break treaty, and that they could
repel coercion as Nation would re-
pei invasion. understand that dur
ing the entire war he was opposed to
its prosecution, that he was opposed
to the proclamation of emancipation,
and demanded that the document be
taken back. I understand that he
regretted to see the chains fall from
the limbs of the colored men. ] un-

Major, your communication from
Philadelphia to tho News and

motives of impcratc honesty, for
the purpose Of drawing out certain
parties, as / understand it, ON the
question of Democracy. Tic reply
Of Capt. Fcnstcr, which was pub
lishcd some days ago, was mildly
and SrntceIly maGe, fully defining
the position of himself and others
who differed slightly from another
class of thinkers on tho plan of
organization in the June cohvcn-
ton. And hnre ] think prudence
would have snid tho alteration
must stop. Judging from tho hal
mony that characterized the July
convention, wh arb better mdcr-
stood by one another, and arc con

humiliation. 1t will certainly show
wisdom on your part, because you
will display moro patriotism by
being silent than by making u
SECOND replication in this unfortu-
nato discussion. Gentlemen, we
have too much at stake, and too
much duty to do, to stop to enter
into protracted disputes about
things which arc gone by. Now
let me, Us brother Democrat, beg
you, in view of tho duty we owe to
our bleeding country, and for the
sake OF tho Democracy Of this
county, that you both tacitiy agree
that all that has been done and
said, shall be inferred i'll the vault
Of the past. We must live for thc
present and the future. Look, sirs,
at the devastating coils that environ
and hang over our dear Old State.
You cannot but see in c , financial
horizon fast gathering convolving
clouds of bankruptcy; and on it's
face the playing Of the vivid
lightning Indicates their coming
velocity, willie the deep toned sound
OF tho mutteling thunder hcralds
their near approach. Then it be-
hoovcs us, my brother Democrats,
to unite solidly and strike down
this dcspotic rule of inhcciIc and
ignorant negroes. They have
ruined us, and We have made con-
ccssions to them until they have
d;ivcn us to the very margin of
starvation itself and We stand
to-day whence they will soon l4url us
us into vortex Of mcalcu,ablc and
indcscribablo misery unless we at
once rise up I'LL together and make
Hcrculcan and successful stroke
for our dclivcrancc Let us now
centre our IDEAS upon the work of
making our organization compact
and perfect, for the only hope for
the redemption Of our country
mdubitably lies in The virtue of II
stlaight out and nlanfui square
fight. Certainly none can think
now that II coalition ticket will be
brought out. "Tlis is u,u country
aud VIC will rule it," must bc our
motto Nothing short Of this, in
my opinion, vii! fully unite tho
white voters. Under these colors,
i'll u little while We can marshal orsr
entire strength, and in November
We will march to the polls in one
