tne present House was peculiar. It had been
chosen 10y the peonle. with express reference TO
the correction OF evils and the reduction OF OK
pendltures. 1t soon became apparent that In
carrying out the wishes OF the people the
tion OF the senate and OF the Administration.
The correction OF prevailing evils and the re-
ducton OF expenditures In many instances re-
Quired the repeal or amendment OF existing In wa,
and II was found that that could be accomplished
only by putting the repeal and amendments
uDon the appropri iiton bills. The House comes
directly from the people and represents spe-
cially upon questions OF revenue aud expeDdi-
lures, and may he excused In the exercise Of
some judgment and discretion In respect to the
mode Of proceeding, when the will OF the people
osn be attained In no other way. Until the
present Congress the Democrats have been a
small minority Tor many years and have been
unable to control the record, but IN the House
they have now made record by no means as
Iull and complete as IL they had controlled the
fortunes of their measures elsewhere. You
may not sgree to many things that wore said,
and YOU may be dissatisfied that some measures
were delayed and Others lost In the House yet
do YOU not choose to 90 forward and ompete
the work now well begun rather than 60 Uack

hard times.
DO you hesitate to trust Gov. Tiden in the
great work OF reform2 Alone he might not ao-
cOtnpl!sh complete success, but he will call
around him those who are without enibarrass-
ment In his support. His election will be with
out the help and over the opposition OF those
who are aud have boen making money out OF
the opposition of ali the rings and combinations
against the treasury. For his election ne will

have their support In carrying out his policy.
lhus surrounded can you trust him2 You
know that in SUCH a work he Is both Jealous and
capable. You know tnat neither political nor
personal friendship can stand in the way of his
efforts TO purify and cheaper the public service.
In the city of New York he ovtrcame and de-
stroye1 a most powerful and corrupt combina.
ton. As Governor Of the State, succeeding
Gen. DIX, he introduced notable reform. aud
the taxes OF New York have fallen from sixteen
mill ms 10 eicht millions of dollars. No other
citizen can bring such evidence OF his ability
and zeal % accomplish what the people so much
desire. Thst fact gave him the nomination, and
aconvicton OF that fact on tho part of the peo-
pie viii elect HIM President. All the corrupt
influences Of the country are against him.
Falsehood and deifaction will do their work
nlsht and day, but the people will stand by the
champion OF their causes.
Are YOU quite sure that these hard times were
inevthbief Ii not then there Is a great respon-
eibinty somewhere. Our people are Intelligent,
Industrious, ana enterprsing. We have great
aud constantly increasing sources OF wealth.
New mines are awaiting development, and new
lands are constantly coming into cultivation.
Why. then, does capitol shrink from Invest

some answer should be given 10y those VINO de-
mand yet longer 10 control public Affairs and to
TX our policies. IL no answer be given, or II tho
answer oe an insult to their Intelligence, the
people will wisely resolve upon change. When

there was a bloody riot at Newark, N. j., or that

In such case as ours, the only remedy of tho
people Is In change. IL cannot be
worse IL Will be better In many respects
II NAV be better In every respect. Hetrsnch-
ment In public expenditures will surely relieve
the industries Of the country Of a portion OF
their burdens. ana the adoption Of "A system OF
