The people OF Texas know, by sad
experience, what Radical rule means.
and since their own fortunate emanci-
patton from il, they have never failed In
their sympathy for this State. Texas Is
Democratic by fully d hundred thousand
majority. There is scarcely the need of

which prompted Mr.. Spann's resolu-

Indiana was not Il democratic state when

the democratic ticket was defeated and
Brown the republican candidate for
Governor was proven to be a notorious
sot and the temperance men either fail
ed to vote or voted for Hendricks and
thus elected him. This l know Tor was
there at the time.

that our money was worthless, the faith
and patience OF the northern people tired
and exhausted; and be assured, Mr.. Lin
coin, that the people would not stand
another draft, which was at that very
hour already ordered. Still more, he
charged Mr.. Lincoln with being unwil>
ling to treat for peace, which charge the
president repudiated, and assured Mr..
Greeley he was only too anxious to enter
tain propositions looking to a cessation
of hostilitics, when he could be assured
of meeting commissioners or those hav-
ing authority to treat for peace. This
was ground far beyond anything then or
now charged against Tilden; and yet
nobody ever dreamed of doubling the
loyalty of Scott, Greeley. or Lincoln.
But there are those who tail to see how
they can abandon a Republican candidate
without being identified with that wing
OF the Democracy which opposed the
war. Well, in reply, have this to say
the Democratic party of ten years ago.
and it may as truthtully be added, the
Republican party of to-day is 81 no
means the Republican party OF ten years
ago. For myself, l shall not hesitate TO
support Tilden for President, in the con-
scious belief that in so doing, will best
promote the future well>being of my
country. and purge it OF the evil it suf-
ters from those who, when they depart
from official position, will leave behind
them little more than the skeleton OF

shame.
