The next question is about the protection
of our own citizens. The nation that can
not prOtece it's citizens at home and abroad
ought to ba swept from the map of the
world. The Democratic party tells US that
| the United States of America can protect
all of its citjze MS when they are away from
home, but those who are citizens Of Louis
| lana or Missi .sippi, or any State under our
| fl ,g, the government is powerless TO protect
them. deny 1t. l say the government OF
| the United States not only has the power
| and unless it does it, it is definitely dishon-
orable-to protect every citizen at home as
| we'll as abroad. The government has tho
right to take its soldiers across any State
line or into any city, county, or ward, tor
the purpose of protecting every man
whether white or black. The doctrine of
| the Democra is party is the old doctrine OF
| secession in disgui,e-that the State of
| South Carolina or Mississi Jpi must protect
| it's own citizens. but that the government OF
| the United States has nothing to do with it
| unless the Governor or the Legislature
of the State calls upon the general
government. This is Infamous. The United
States claims the right to draft every ci'i-
zen into the army. 1t claims the right to
stand every able bodied man in front of q
cannon in time of war, and now to say that
when peace has spread her beautiful wings
over our land, when some citizen is struck
80
tect him when the United States will make
him protect it, is infamous. The flag that
will not prote ct its protectors is dirty rag
1t contaminates the air in which it waves,
and if that is the true theory Of our govern
ment l despise it. 1t is the duty of this
government to see to it that each and every
American citizen has all his ii shts in every
State of the Union, neacsably, if We can,
fOrcibly if we must The Republican party |
made the black men Of this country citi- |
zens. 1t put the ballot in their hands, and |
it is the duty of the Republican party to |
see to it that they have q peaceable oppor- |
tunity to cast their bs}lOts. There are |
plenty of men in the South who fought |
against the government and who were sat
listed with the arbtrament of the war. and i
who laid down their arms and are Union
men to-day. l want the government to |
protect them too As general rule, how
ever, the population of the South Is turbu-
lent, and the best men can not control it,
and men are shot down for opinions sake.
1t ought to be stopped. 1t is disgrace to
American civilization. They tell Us that
yes, very well. l read every little while of
two peaceabie white men going along, not
thinking of anything, as harmless and in |
Offensive as lambe, and they are approached
by ten or twelve negroes, and the ten or
twelve negroes are shot, but the two peace
able white men don't get scratch. The
negroes are the ones to bite the dust 1t is
Infamous. The Democratic party don't
care. Samuel j. Tilden don't care. He
knows that many Southern States are to be
carried by assassination and murder He
knows that if is he elected President of the
United States it will be by assassination
and murder. And he is willing that they
expression of language. What party will
be most apt to preserve the liberty Of the
negro, the party that gave it or the party
that denied ii! Who will be most likely to ,
preserve the liberties of the white men of |
the South, the men who fought for them or

lilden. 1t is enough for me to cay of him {
hat he is Democrat. He belongs to the +
Democratic party of the city and State of {
New York. The Democratic party of the Z
'ity OF New York, as understand it, and
We have heard it out West, never had but t
wo objects, grand and petty larceny. We t
ave al ways heard out West that Tammany 6
Hall bears the same relation to the peniten. )

# this city when it didn't owe dollar, and g
hat it has managed to steal until it now p
ives about $l60, 900 900. understand that t,

arcepy in disguise. l understand that d
very election they ever had was fraud q
understand that they stole everything | r,
hey could lay their hands upon, and on n
that hands. They grasped and clutched o
