be pronounced upon yous' "Noth-
ing in the world, Judge" said he,
"only hope your Honor will have
pity on me, and remember that am
a poor orphan" The Democratic par
made this debt; the Democratic party
caused these hard times, and now they
go around the country and ask SYM
pathy from the people because the
Democrats are suffering such hard
times. When you think about this
| debt, charge two-thirds of it to the
Democracy of the North, and charge
the other third to the Democracy of
the south; and if you have TO work to
get this money, and in working blis-
ter your hands, pull off the blisters,
and under every blister you will find a
Democratic lie. | have no doubt, l say,
| but that this debt will be paid. We
have got the honor TO pay it; and we
| do not pay il on account of the avarice
or greed of the bondholdcr. An hon
est man does not pay money to a cred
itor simply because the creditor wants
1t. An honest man pays at the COM
mand of his honor, and not at the de-
mand of his creditor. The United
States will pay this debt, not because
| the creditor demands il, but because
we owe il. The United States will
liquidate every debt Mt the command
of its honor, and every cent will
| be paid. War is dcstruction; war il
loss; and all the property destroyed,
all the time lost, put together amount
ed TO what, SO 10 speak, we call our
national debt. When we shall have
made as much net profit rs there was
dead loss in the War, then we will be
solvent people-then the greenback
| will be redeemed. We expect to re-
| deem it on the LIST day of January,
1879. We will fail if the prosperity of
| the country fails, but we intend to try
| it, and ii we fail. we will fail ~ a sol
| dier fails to take fort high upon the
ramparts with a flag of resumption in
| our hands. We will not say that we
cannot pay the debt, because there is
a day fixed when the debt is To be
| paid. ] have had to borrow money
myself. have had to give my note,
and ] recollect distinctly that every
man ! ever did give my note to insisted
| that somewhere in that note there
| should be some tender hints as to the
cycle, as to the geological period, as to
the time, as to the century and date,
that | expected to pay that little note.
] never understood that having time
fixed would prevent my being indus
trious, that it would interfere with
my honesty, or with my activity, or
with my desire to discharge that debt.
And If any man in this crowd owed
you 81 600, due 1st day of next Janu-
ary, and he should come to you and
say, 81 want to pay that debt, but you
must take that date out of that note"
"Why," you would say. why" he
would reply in the language of Til
den, II have got to make wise prepar-
alton" "Then,' you would say,
"why don't you do it," "But I can
not do ii while you have that date in
that note" Another thing he says,
~ have to get me n central reservoir
of coin"-and, do you know, | have
always thought | should like to see
the Democratic party around a central
reservoir of coin. | would like to see
it. Suppose this debtor also told you,
4 want the date out of that note, be-
cause have got to come at it by
very slow and very gradual process"
WELL you would reply, ~ don't
care how slow or how gradual you are
provided you come round by the time
the note is due" What would you
think of man who wanted the date
out of Il note? You would think he
was a mixture of II rascal and Demo-
crat. No, my friend, we are going to
pay that money.
Now, my friends, the Democratic
party-if you call it party-brings
forward rs its candidate, Samuel j.
Tilden, of New York. am opposed to
him. am opposed to him, first, be-
cause he is an old bachelor. In a
country like ours, depending for its
prosperity and glory upon the increase
of the population, to elect an old bach
elor is suicidal policy. Any man that
will live in this country for sixty
years, surrounded by beautiful women
with rosy cheeks and dimpled chins,
in every dimple lurking "A Cupid
| with coral lips, and pearly teeth and
! sparkling eyes, any man that will
push that all aside, to be satisfied with
the embrace Of the Democratic party,
don't even know the value Of time
| am opposed to Samuel J. Tilden be-
cause he is Democrat because
he belongs to the Democratic
party of the City of New York-the
worst party ever organized in any civ
ilized country. wish you could see
it. The pugilists, the prize-fghters,
the plug-uglies, the fellows that run
with the machine. Nearly every nose
is mashed. About half of the ears
have been shot off, and whatever
complexion they are, their eyes ale
nearly always black. They have faces
like tea kettles, and heads like
bullets. | wish you would see them.
| have been in New York every few
weeks for fifteen years, and whenever
| go there | see the old banner of
Tammany Hall, Tammany Hall and
Reform, John Morrissey and Reform,
Connolly and Reform, John Kelley
and Reform, VIM. NJ. Tweed and Re-
form, and the other day / saw the
same old fag-Samuel J. Tilden and
Reform. The Democratic party of
the City of New York never had but
two hopes-grand and petty larceny.
Tammany Hall bears the same rela-
ton to the Penitentiary that Sun
day-schoOl does to church. In that
school, Samuel J. Tilden has been a
pupil, In that school he is now head
teacher. The Democratic party of the
City of New York has stolen every
thing it could lay its hands on-and,
my God what hands! five elect Saml
J. Tilden, we will have the Democrat
ic party of the City of New York to
