[Applause.] The democratic party
admits that it has record, but II
says that any man that will look into
it, any man that will tell it, is not a
gentleman. do not know whether,
according to the democratic standard,
I am a gentleman or not; but do
say that in q certain sense l am one
Of the historians Of the democratic
party. do not know that 1t is true
that q man cannot give his record and
be gentleman, but I admit that a
gentleman hates to read this record /;
q gentleman hates to give this record
to the world but / do it, not because
I like to do it, but because / believe
the best interests of this country de-
mand that there shall be history
given of the democratic party.
In the first place, 1 claim that the
democratic party embraces within its
filthy arms the worst elements in
American society. ] claim that every
enemy that this government has had
for twenty years has been and is a
democrat; every man in the Domin-
ION Of Canada that hates the great
Republic would like to see Tilden
and Hendricks successful. Every
titled thief in Great Britain would
like to see Tilden and Hendricks tho
next president aud vice president of
the United States. say more every
State that seeded from this Union
was a democratic State. Every man
that drew an ordinance of secession
was democrat; every man that tried
to tear the flag out of heaven was a
democrat; every man that tore that
old banner Of glory with shot and
she'll was democrat; every Union
soldier that has scar upon his body
today carries with him q souvenir of
the democratic party ; every man that
shot Union soldier was a democrat
every man that denied to the Union
prisoners even the worm eaten crust
of famine was a democrat; and when
some famished Union soldier, crazed
by agony md by pain and by want,
saw in his dream the face Of his
mother, and she seemed to beckon
him, and he innocently followed her
beckoning, and in so following, got
his feet ono inch beyond the dead
line, the rebel wretch who put bull
let through his heart was and is n
democrat. Applause and loud cries
Of ''That's so."l The men that burn
ed the orphan asylums in the city of
New York were democrats every
one that fired that city, knowing that,
if it burned, the serpent of fame
would leap from the buildings and
clutch children from their mothers
arms; every wretch that did it was a
democrat. Applause. The man
that shot Abraham Lincoln was q
democrat. Applause. And every
man that was glad Of it was demo-
crat Loud applause. Every man
that was sorry to see the institution OF
slavery abolished: every man that
shed tear over the corpse of human
5lWvVIy, was duu 10 u uCLAOCIuts Ap-
plause. The men that cursed Abra-
ham Lincoln, cursed the grandest, the
purest man that was ever president
of the United Strtes; every man tha,
cursed him for issuing the Emancipa.
tion Proclamation, the grandest paper
since the Declaration of Independ.
ence-every man that cursed him fol
it was q democrat. Applause. Every
man who hated to see bloodhound:
cease to be the instrumentalities of q
free government-every. one was q
democrat In short, every enemy thai
this government has had for twenty
fyears, every enemy that liberty and
progress ever had in the United States
for twenty years, every hater of oul
flag, every despiser of our nation
every man who has been disgrace
to the great Republic for twenty
fyears has been q democrat. do mo-
say they are all that way; but nearly
all who arc that way are democrats
Loud applause.
