tho shadow Of her first sorrow. We ace tho
silvered head Of the Old man bowed with
the last grief.
The past rises before az, and We see
600, 600 of human beings governed by the
lash-we see them bound hand and foot
We hear the strokes Of cruel whips-we see
the hounds tracking women throuk b
tangled swamps. W. zee babes sold frOin
the breasts Of mothers. Cruelty unspeak-
able! Outrage i, finite:
-Four million 0ocl-s in chaine-4 600 900
souls in letters. All the sacred relations OF
wife, mother, father, and child, traMpled
beneath the brutal feet If might. And all
this was done under our own beautiful ban
ner OF the free.
The past rises before ne. We hear the
roar ard shrek Of the bursting shell. The
broken letters fall. Ths go heroes died. We
look. Instead Of SLAVES We see men and
women and children. The wand of pr gress
touches the auction hlock, the elave pen
the whipping puei, aud VIZ eee hOres and
fresides aud echOuihouses and books, snd
where q WAS want aud crime AMI cruelty
and letters We zee the face If tho free.
These heroes are dead. They died for
lib rtx-,hry died or us. They are at rest.
They sleep in the land they made tree. un-

in the roar of conflict, they found the
serenity OF death. A voice-"Glory.

S,,,nI I rT,aor 10 nv ,<to,n,- loo,
spider that weaves +bs ut teohnicalities,
and catches in its neshes honest incorpora
ted flies. He has stood on the shores of
bankruptcy and clurched the drowning by
the throat. Samuel j. TIlden is a demurrer
that the Conf. derate Congress has fled
against the amendments to the constitution
Of the United States. Samuel j. Tilden is
an old bachelor. In a country depending
upon the increase of it's population for
suicidal policy. Think OF q man sur
rounded by beautiful wemen, dimpled
cheeks. coral lips, pearly teeth, shining
eyes; think Of q man throwing them all
away for the embrace of the Democratic
party. Such a man does not even know the
value of time.
Samuel j. Tilden belongs to the Demo
cratic party Of the city of New York. That
party never had but two objects-grand
q
to Office except for q crime committed.
They don't elect on crime credit; it must
be on crime accomplished. They have
stolen everything they could lay their
hands on, and, my God, what hands!
Whtn they had stolen all the people could
pay the interest on they clapped their en-
OrmOus hands upon their spacious pockets
and shouted tor honesty and reform
Samuel j. Tilden has been q pupil in that
in ho&
school. He was reared in Tammany Hall,
which bears the same relation to peniten-
tixry as Sunday school TO the church.
More than this, W hen the rebellion began they
called Union meeting at Union square, in
the city of New York. IL was of great i'm.
pOrtance how the city OF New York should
60. No man refused to sign that petition
in New York bat one, and that man was
Samuel j. Tilden. A man that will not
lend his name to save his country never
should be the President of that country.
You offered tn give your lives, and he wound
not give his infamous name.
Samuel j. T;lden said 10 1S60-6l: "Our
fathers lett revolution organized IN every
State. go that whenever the public opinion
Of a State demands it, the State can snap
the tie of confederation that binds it to the
nation the same as nation can break a
treaty, and State can repel coercion the
same as nation can repel invasion" No
one ought to be President who thinks this
n stion is q contederAcy. No man ought to
De President who has said this war is an
outrage.
When Tilden refused to give his name
Hayes offered to give his heart. Hayes is
q man OF learning, man OF talent, of finn
nese; l do not say obstinacy; say firm
ness. Do you know the difference between
Obetinacy and frmnesss A firm man is q
man that stande up for the right because it
is right; an obstinate man is a man that
wants bis own way whether right or wrong.
Hayes is q firm man. In the war he re-
ceived many wounds in his fleeh, but not a
scratch on his honor. Tlld.n received
wound after wound on his honor, but not a
scratch in his f-sh.
Rutherford Il. Hayes is man of spotIess
character which rests upon a
record, not upon prospectus. Good
character rests on what you have done, not
On what you say you are going to do Good
character rests upon fulfllment and not
upon promise. will tell you something:
Hayes will be the next President of the
United States. Rutherford B. Hayes car
ries at bus belt three political scalps-one
ri Thurman, one of Pendleton and one of
Riee-up William Allen. Next November he
wn have another scalp at that belt. If Mr..
rdden will feel the top OF his head he will
have realizing sense of who furnished
hat fourth scalp.
Now, my friends, I want you to vote the

Reminiscence of September 4, 1870.
1t is four O'Clock, and dense crowd sur
oun6s the Hotel de Vile. A man descends
be steps, crying aloud: MAKE way! Make
