REsPoNsIBlLITY FOR THE HARD TIMES.
II is some trouble TO get up Repub.
lican. You've got to build schoollIouses.
II you want to make Democrats, tear
them down, IL YOU want 10 make DEM
ocrat, appeal 10 prejudices, or appeal TO
hard times. A Democrat in Illinois
thinks the chinch bug comes OF the Re-
publican administration. Who made the
times hard? Who made II necessary for
the United States TO borrow money? The
Democratic party, north and south. And
now they say we ought to have whipped
them for less. Hard times! You will
sec what hard times mean II you get the
Democratic party into power. We've
got down TO hard pan. And we are al
ready in the light Of the dawnof a re-
yiyed business. Why? Because the Re.
publican party is bent on seeing n gold
dollar, and in resuming specie payment
at the appointed time. The Republican
party, | say, will pay the debt and pro.
iect all men. The Democratic party can
find no law in the record Of Mr.. Hayes.
He will carry out the doctrines OF the Re.
publican party. II Tilden is elected he
will be controlled by the Democratic par
ty. Which party will you trust? l tell
you, gentlemen, you must stand by the
Republican party. What was Mr.. Til
den doing when Mr.. Hayes was fighting for
his country? Mr.. Tilden was resolving
the war failure.
What is Mr.. Tilden to-day? An attor-
ney at law, an old bachelor. There is no
more flesh on him than on an old umbrel.
Ia. .[Great merriment.] He is one OF
those oily attorneys you see depicted on
the stage. He is demurrer. Great
laughter.] He never courted woman
because women can't vote. Merriment.l
Lately he has adopted rag.baby that
really belongs 10 Hendricks. Prolonged
laughter. He is now spending his time
in explaining how he adoptedit. Laugh

PLAIN TRUTHS FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
know the State in which an audience
like this can collect can never elect
Democrat for Governor. know you
will re elect Governor Connor by a rous-
ing majority. Applausel There is not
a State prison in this country but votes
for Tilden and Hendricks. In the State
prison in Maine last year there was but
one convict who ever voted anything
but the Democratic ticket, and I'll bet
thousand dollars that he was wrong
fully sent up. Loud laughter and APP
plause. The weeds will grow even in the
street, but the corn needs care. The
weeds are hard to kill. And it's hard to
kill The Democrats. They can only be
exterminated by education and thought.
When q man begins 10 grow continental
in thought and have sympathy, then he
says he will give every other man the
same chance in the world that he asks for
himself. Nature has made inequalities
enough. Some people were born with
very lew brains-some OF them you can
find in the Democratic party by close in
spection. Laughter. Why should men
add artificial inequalities? All men are
OF the same race. All men who are for
other men must stand together. Govern.
men,s should be for all, and should pro-
tect white and black alike.
Now don't forget to tell the Democrats
the whole truth-tell them in Christian
spirit, Just as l do. When they tell you
let bygones he bygones, don't doit. They
have copied our platform, but don't trust
tit hasn't the right signature. II
makes all the difference whether bank
rupt or banker signs n note. The Re.
publican party has done what it could.
Tell the Democrats the truth-I'm afraid
you will forget it. Uaughter.) The Re.
publican party will pay the debt and pro.
tect all men. Remember that, too. i
want every man here TO recollect 1ilden
is half a man, half a pair Of scissors,
(Laughter). Where would we have been
il we'd al been old bachelors? loud
laughter and applause.) l am glad that
we have party on whose brow is the
eternal sunrise; that we have party Of
freedom, pledged to the progress and ele-
walton OF the human race, and pledged TO
