is to say the men who are sorry they did not
destroy the Government that is to say, the
enemies of every friend this Union has; that is
to say, the murderers ard assassins of the Union
men living in the Southern country. Applause.
Let me say another thing: If Mr. Tilden does
not act in accordance with the Southern Demo-
cratic command, the Southern Democracy will
not allow single life to stand between them
and the absolute control of this country. Hen
bricks will then be their man. / say that it
would be an outrage to give this country into
the control of the men who endeavor to de4troy
it; to give this country into the control of
the Southern rebels and haters of Union men.
On the other hand, the Republican party have
put forward Rutherford B. Hayes. Loud
cheers.1 He is an honest man. but Democrats
will kay that is nothing. Well, now, you try it;
you try it. Rutherford 3. Hayes has q good
character. good character ID not built upon
prospectus, but upon good record. good
character is made up, not of what you agree to
do but of the good things oureally have done.
If you could make good character on prom
ises, the Democratic party would have one to-
morrow But a good character rests upon good
actions, upon good things already accomplished.
Rutherford B.. Hayes, when this war COM
menced, did not say with Tilden, sit is an
outrage He did not say with Tilden, II never
will contribute to the prosecution of the war. I"
But he did say this: 81 would go into this
war if knew I would be killed in the course of
it rather than to live through it and take no
part in it, Search the patriotic records of the
world, and you will find no nobier-no grander
saving than that declaration of Rutherford B.
Hayes. During the war Rutherford B. Hayes re-
ceived many wounds in his dekh, but not
one scratch upon his honor. Samuel
J.. Tilden received many wounds on his honor
but not one scratch on his flesh. daughter
and cheers Rutherford 8. Hayes ls firm
man not an obstinate man, but firm man.
And draw this distinctions firm man will
do what he believes to be right because he
wants TO do right. He will stand firm because
he believes it to be right, but an obstinate
man wants his own way whether it is right or
it is wrong. Rutherford B. Hayes is firm in
the right, and obstinate only when he knows
that he is in the right. If you want to, vote
for the man that fought for you, vote for
Rutherford B. Hayes. II you want to vote for
the man that carried our flag through the
storm Of shot and shell, vote for Rutherford
B. Hayes (Voices-"We are going to" Ii

say here tonight that the Republican party is
the only decent party that ever existed on this
earth. 1t is the only party that is not founded
on compromise with the devil. Laughter

The Republican party is the first party that
ever said, EVERY man is entitled to liberty,
not because he is white, not because he is black,

Loud laughter and applause. say that
the Republican party is for free labor. Free
labor will give US wealth-and why When
ever man works for himself works for bis
wife, WORKS for his children, he endeavors then
to do the most work in the shortest space of
time. The problem of free labor Is to do the
most work in the shortest space of time. The
