AN EXTRACT FROM DEMOCRATIC
PEDIGREE.

I was at Peoria, Ill.s whom ne !
Democrats held their convention.
Brothers" they said, f'let US put
Town that tyrant Lincoln They
we're for peace, they said, and all
the time they had Jake Thomp- :
sons pistols in their pockets.
Laughter. That was the first
held in the interest % an
uprising to aid the South. But
Vallandingham told them, we'll
elect Mcclellan and that'n accom-
plish by the ballot what is propos-
ed to do by force. Jake Thompson
the failure of his attempt .
to burn New York with Greek fire.
That's what the Democrats were
doing in 1864. Recollect that
when 1 speak of the Democratic
party / mean the men who did
these things. I am sorry to see
men, good and true and loyal.
who are with the Democrats still,
and who are trying to make them
respectable. My voice has no
word against those men, do what
ever they do, who faced shot and
shell for the Union. I do not
stigmatize them. do not aliude
to true and loyal Democrats who
are Democrats from mere cussed-
ness. Laughter. How came it to
this2 Is man to be ashamed for
having fought the Democratic par
ty with shell? Will the time ever
come when these scars worn by
Governor Conner shall be dis
grace to him? Shall the time come
when we shall not mention the strug
gle of our boys and defend their
scars? 1t never can comei But
say if the Democratic party gets
the power, the Union soldier will
have to hide his scars. 1t Samu-
ell j. Tilden is elected President,
he will be the tool and instrument
of the Southern Democracy. Did
the Southern Democracy ever al
low the Northern Democracy to
manage? They never did and they
never will. After the war was
over the Republicans told the ne
gro he was free, and that he must
be citizen and have the ballot.
The Democratic party voted
against all these measures. Mr..
Hendricks spoke in the United
States Senate and said there was
no power in the people to change
the Constitution and make the
slave free. He to-day believes
these persons were unlawfully de-
prived of their property, and he
will vote to pay them for their
property.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HARD
It is some trouble to get up a
Republican. You've got to build
schoolhouses. If you want to
make Dem oerats pull them down

hard times. A Democrat in Hi
