CANDIDATE WITH /. CHARACTERS.

A CANDIDATE WITH CHARACTER.
And whatare We to gain Ny fell
low-citizens, they talk about reform.
Well, now, no man can go in advance
OF me in a sincere and earnest desire
and / have said this all. through
this State-for thorough, searching
reform in every department Of our
government where 1t is needed, and
the Republican party is pledged to it,
and as I have said before, we have a
candidate whose history-a candidate
whose character i security upon our
pledge. Why, I have here in my
pocket copy Of an open letter ad-
dressed by Jere Black to General
Garfield, in which he says, speaking
Of Gov. Hayes: You would have me
believe that Hayes. il elected, will re-
form abuses and give ns a pure ad-
ministration. Your statement, and
that OF other gentienen equally re-
liable, make it certain that Mr.. Hayes
bears IN irreproachable character in
all his private rsiations h do not
doubt his possession OF that negative
honesty which It is a disgrace. to
want I accord him those tame
household virtues which entitle him
to the respect Of his neiehbofs and
the confidence OF his family nsqo" {
Now. that is Democratic testimony
to Rutherford B. Hayes. Mr.. Black
calls these ~tame, household virtues" I"
and they are the ornaments Of the
quietest and plainsst homes But I
tell you, my countrymen, that the
jewel honesty may be taken from
that humble home and put in the cor
onet of a king. and it is the richest
and proudest gem in his diadem.
[Cheers. - II.
DON'T STRIKE THE CoLoRs.
What do we want to do in Indiana?
Why, just rally and fight; just touch
elbows again; just point our glitter
ing bayonets again at the foe, reform
the line, and chargel with faith in
God, in the truth and in the right,
and we will win. [Great cheering ]
I believe. as Mr.. Porter has intimsted,
that there are many voters in the
State Of Indiana, when they come
squarely to confront the, question
whether they will have Hayes or TIL
den for President. viii hasten to pro-
nounce in favor OF Hayes. tCheers.l ]
Mr.. Williams has not secured ma
jority Of the electors Of Indiana; ;bhs
is elected by a plurality bonly. And
in that large mass of $4,000 or 10000
voters who have ystood aloof froni
either party-to them We may 6onfia
IDENTIFY go In the remaining weeks OF
this campaign and appeal to them, to
their intelligence and to their reason
ITO choose between these two men
and the consequences that are to flow
from the administration OF each. .ooeT,
l'itH HOPE FOR INDIANA. laI sifsg
There is then hope of Indiana, there
is good hope OF Indiana. [Cheers.1
But, my friends. q II we were utterly
hopeless we ought to strike right on,
not withholding our hands until sthe
election in li November IS over
[Cheers. We want to keep them
down Just as low as we can. 1t is
something to keep, their majority
down. There Is something more in
It.: 1t will help our Republican friends
who are battling in other States lit
viii help them to see that the Indi-
ana Republicans are determined to
make afplnckyn fight on to the end,
[Cheers.l 1t will cheer Ohio, it will
cheer New York, 1t will cheer the
States that have been called doubtful
to know that we have not struck
our colors In Indiana, that our mot
to Is that OF the gallant Paul Jones.
