BACHELOR CANDIDATE.
Hayes and Tilden Compared by Eloquent
Bob.
From his speech at Indianapolis.

samuel y. llIucu Is III attorney
legal spider that weaves webs of techni
calities, and catches in its meshes homes
incorporated flies. He has stood on the
shores of bankruptcy and clutched the
drowning by the throat. Samuel J. Til
den is a demurrer that the confederate
congress has filed against the amend
ments to the constitution of the United
States. Samuel j. Tilden is an old bach
elor. In country depending upon the
increase of its population for its glory
and honor cheers and laughter1 to elect
an old bachelor is suicidal policy. Re
newed and prolonged laughter. Think
of man surrounded by beautiful won.
en-, dimpled cheeks, coral lips, pearly
teeth. shining eyes; think of man
throwing them all away for the embrace
of the Democratic party. Laughter.
Such man does not even know the val
ue of time. Laughter
Samuel J. Tilden belongs to the Dem.
ocratic party of the city Of New York.
That party never had but two objects
grand and petit larceny. Laughter.
They rarely elect man to an Office ex.
cept fora crime committed. They don't
elect on a crime credited. it must be on
crime accomplished. They have stolen
everything they could lay their hands
on, and. nv God, what lands! When
they had stolen all the people could pay
the interest on they clapped their enor-
nous hands upon their spacious pockets
and shouted for honesty and reform.
Samuel J. Tilden has been a pupil in
that school. He has been a teacher in
that school. He was reared in Tammany
Hall. which bears the same relation to a
as SUNDAY school to the
church. [Applause.] More than this,
when the rebellion began they called a
a Union meeting at Union siuare in the
city of New York. It was Of great i'm
portance how the city of New York
should 20. No man refused to sign that
petition in the city of New York but
one, and that one was Samuel J. Tilden.
A man that will not lend his name to
save his country never should be Presi-
dent of that country You offered to
give your lives, and he would not give
his infamous name.
Samuel ]. Tilden said in lS60-61:
'fOur fathers left revolution organized in
every state, 90 that whenever public
opinion of state demands it the state
can snap the tie of confederation that
binds it to the nation the same as ma
ton can break treaty, and state can
repel invasion" No one ought to be
President who thinks this nation is
No man ought to be Pres.
ident who said that this war was an out
rage.
When Tilden refused to give his name
Hayes offered to give his heart Hayes
is a man of learning, man of talent, of
firmness; I do not say obstinacy, 1 say
firmness. Do you know the difference
between obstinacy and firmness? A firm
man is man that stands up for the right
because it is right; an obstinate man is q
man that wants his own way whether
right or wrong. Hayes is q firm man.
In the war he received many wounds in
his flesh but not q scratch on his honor,
rilden received wound after wound in
lis honor, but not scratch in his flesh.
B. B. Hayes is . man of spotless char
lcter-a character which rests upon a
'ecord, not upon prospectus. APP
,lause.1 Good character rests upon
What you have done, not On what you
~ you are goingto do. Good character
'ests upon fulfillment, and not upon a
promise. I will tell you something.
Hayes will be thenext President of the
United States. Renewed and protracted
applause. Rutherford B. Hayes carries
