who wants this Gate stricken from the pledge
OF the Government is dishonest. [Applaus 9. !
Mr.. Tilden wanted the date left out so that
| Hendricks could crawl in. [Applause.l No;
the Republican party intends to pay its debts
in coin on the 1st of January, 1879. Paper
money means probably the payment of the
| Confederate debt; metallic currency the
discharge of honest obligations. We have
touched hard-pan prices in this country and
We want to do hard-pan business with hard
money. [Applause.l II the Republican party
fails to resume on the date fixed, it will fail
nobly, fighting like the soldier on the ramparts
with the banner in his hands. Great APP
plause.]
PROTECTION OF CITIZENS.
We now come to the protection OF our citi-
zens. A Government that cannot protect its
citizens. at home and abroad, ought to be
swept from the map of the world. The Demo-
Gratis tell you that they will protect any citizen
if he is only away from home but if he is in
Louisiana, or any other State in the Union,
the Government is powerless to protect him.
I say Government has a right to protect
every citizen at home as well as abroad
[great applause], and the Government has a
right to take its soldiers across the State line,
to take it's soldiers into any State
for the purpose OF protecting even one
man. [Applause.l That is my doctrine with
regard to the power of the Government. But
here comes Democrat to-day and tells me
but it is the old doctrine of secession in dis
guise-that the State of Louisiana must protect
It's own citizens, and that if it does not protect
its own citizens, the General Government has
nothing to do unless the Government of that
State asks assistance, no matter whether anar-
chy prevails or not. That is infamous. The
United States has the right to draft you and
me into the army and compel US to serve three,
if its powers are being usurped. The flag that

TGreat applause It contaminates the air in
which it waves 1t is the duty of this Govern
ment to see to it that every citizen has all his
rights in every State in this Union and to
protect him in the enjoyment of those rights,
peaceably if it can forcibly if it must. ZAP

Democrats tell us they treat the colored man
very we'll. have frequently read stories re-
lating how two white men were passing along
the road, when suddenly they were set upon
by ten or twelve negroes, who sought their
lives but in the fight which ensues, the ten
or twelve negroes are killed and not white
man hurt. I tell you it is infamous and the
Democratic press of the North laughs at it,
and Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden don't care. He
knows that many Of the Southern States are to
be carried by assassination and murder, and
he knows that if he is elected it will be by as
sassination and murder [Applause.1 1t is
infamous beyond the expression of language.
Now I ask you what party will be the most
likely to preserve the liberty of the negro-the
party who fought for slavery, or the men who
gave them freedom? These are the two great
questions-the payment of the debt and the
protection of our citizens. Ny friends, we
have got to pay the debt, as told you; but it is
of greater importance to make sacred American
citizenship. prolonged applause.l
Now these two parties have got couple Of
candidates. The Democratic party have put
forward Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden. Mr. Tilden is
Democrat who belongs to the Democratic party
of the city of New York, aud the Democratic
party of the city of New York never had but
two objects-g1and and petit larceny. Laugh
ter and applause.] In Illinois, we have always
heard that Tammany Hall bears the same re-
lation to q penitentiary that Sunday-school
does to church. Laughter don't say it
is so, but simply state it as / hear it there. 1
have heard that the Democratic party got con-
troll of this city when it did not own dollar,
and have stolen and stolen until it owes $780,
900, 900; and understand that every election
they have had was fraud-every one.
understand shat they stole everything they could
lay their hands on. What hands Laughter
and applause. Grasped and gra5ped and
clutched, until they stole all it was possible for
the people to pay, and now they are all yelling
for honesty and reform. understand that Mr..
Tilden was a pupil in that school and that he
is now teacher in that school. laughter
On the other side another man has been
ominated-Rutherford B. Hayes. [Great APP
plause.l In the FIRST place ne is an honest
man. Some will say that he is not much.
Rutherford B. Hayes is a patriotic man, and
when the war commenced Rutherford B. Hayes
said, IT would rather go into this war and be
killed in the course of it than live through it
and have taken no part in it,. [Appause.]
Compare that with Mr.. Tidens refusal to sign
the call for the Union meeting in New York.
Ali the Democratic snakes with their forked
and poisonous tongues stuck out, have not
found in the reputation of Gov. Hayes crew
ice in which to deposit the poison of their ma
Lightly. Imagine man so pure that the Dem
ocratic party cannot lie about him. [Great
applause
