I grass on this continent is O guaranty

plause. Every particle of coal laid
, away by that old miser, the sun, mil
! lions of years ago, is a guaranty that
every dollar will be paid; all the
iron ore, all the gold and silver I'M.
, der the snow-capped Sierra Ncvadas

is guaranty that this debt will be
paid; and all the cattle and all the
pastures, prairics and plains which
adorn ourbroad land are guarantees
that this debt will be paid, and every
furrowcd field of corn, and every
good man, and every good woman
} and every dimpled, kicking, healthy
babe in the cradle, and all the boys
and girls bending over their books
; at school, and every good man who
is going to vote the republican ticket,
is guaranty that every dollar of the
national debt will be paid. Loud ap-
plause.l
i Now, my friends, the democratic
party Gf you may call it a party,)
brings forward as its candidate, Sam
uel j. Tilden, of New York. I am OPP
posed to him, first: Because he is an
old bachelor. Laughter In coun-
try like ours, depending for its pros
perity and glory upon an increase of
the population, to elect an old bache-
lor is suicidal policy. Applause. I
Any man that will live in this country
for sixty years, surrounded by beau
tiful women with rosy lips and dim
pied cheeks, in every dimplc lurking
q Cupid, with coral lips and pcarly
teeth and sparkling eyes-any man
that will push them all aside and be
satisfied with the embraces of the
Democratic party, does not even
know the value of time. Laughter
and applause.l am opposed to Sam
uel j. Tllden because he is a demo-
crat; because he belongs to the DEM
ocratic party of the city of New
York the worst party ever organ
lied in any civilized country. / wish
you could see it. The pughists, the
prize-fighters, the plug-uglies, the fel-
lows that run with the "mashecn =

York every few weeks for fifteen
years; and whenever 60 there see
the old banner of "Tammany Hall

Reform;" "Connolly and Reform y
"John Kelley and Reform J" civilian
NJ. Tweed and Reform !" and the 9TH
er day l saw that same old flag,t'Sam-
ucl j. Tilden and Reform" Loud
laughter and applause.] The demo-
cratic party of the city of New York
never had but two objects-grand
and petit larceny. Laughter and ap-
plause.1 Tammany Hall bears the
same relation TO the penitentiary that
the Sunday School does to the church.
Laughter and applause.l In that
school Samuel j. Tilden is now the
head teacher. Laughter and cheers. ]
The democratic party of the city of
New York has stolen everything it
could lay its hands on, and. my God
what hands! If we elect Samuel j
Tilden we will have the democratic
party of the city of New York to re-
form this country. Laughter and
applause.
have another objection to Tilden.
He wasa seccssionist at the beginning
Of the war. He is secessionist to-
day. lIe believes that every State in
the Union has right to snap what
he calls the tie of confederation at its
PLEASURE, the same as nation has the
right to break treaty, and that every
State has right to repel coercion as
a nation has the right to repel inva-
sion. No man should be President of
this nation who denies that it is d ma
ton. Samuel J. Tilden denounces the
war as an outrage. No man ever
should be President of this country
that denounced war waged in its
defense as an outrage. To elect such
a man would be an outrage, indeed.
Applause Samuel J. Tilden said
that the old flag carried by our faith
ers over the fields of the revolution /:
the old flag carried by our fathers
over the fields of 1872 the glorious
old banner carried by our brothers
over the plains Of Mexico the sacred
banner carried by our brothers over
the cruel fields of the South-Samuel
j Tilden says that flag stands for a
contract commencing with "Know all
We men by these presents" laughter] /;
that the flag stands for q eoniedera-
ton ; stands for bargain; stands for
a contract but the great Republican
party said, "No that flag stands for
a great, hoping, aspiring, sublime
nation, and not for a confederacy.
i I(Cheers.
l am opposed, / say, to the cleo.
ton of Samuel J. Tilden for another
reason. If he is elected he will be
controlled by his party, and his party
will be controlled by the Southern
stockholders in that party. They own
nineteen-twentieths of that stock, and
they will dictate the policy of the
Democratic corporation. No North.
ern democrat has the manliness to
stand up before Southern democrat
Every democrat nearly has face OF

Samuel j. Tilden is elected President
J of the United States, he will be con.
trolled by the democratic party, and
the democratic party will be con-
trolled by the Southern democracy
that is to say, the late rebels; that j.
TO say, the men that tried to destroy
the government; that is to say, thu
men who are sorry they did not de
stroy the government; that is to say
the enemies of every friend this UniOr
has; that is to say, the murderers ant
assassins of the Union men living il
the Southern country. Applause.
Let me say another thing: If Mr.
Tilden does not act in accordance
with the Southern democratic com.
mand, the Southern democracy will
not allow single life to stand be
tween them and the absolute contro
of this country. Hendricks will thel
be their man. | say that it would b
an outrage to give this country int.

HAYES.
4 On the other hand, the republican
| party have put forward Rutherfort
, B. Hayes. loud cheers. He is al
honest man, but democrats will 50,
that is nothing. Well, now, you tr,
it; you try it Rutherford B. Haye
has q good character. A good char

u. Hayes, when this war commenced
, did not say with Tilden, II never vii

Q war;" But he did say this: III wonl,
