the fields Of the Revolution; the old
flag carried by our fathers over the
fields Of 1879; the glorious old flag car
ried by our brothers over the plains OF
Mexico; the same banner carried by
our brothers over the cruel fields Of
the South-Samuel J. Tilden said that
Nag stands for contract; that il
stands for confederation; that 1t
stands for a bargain. But the great
splendid Republican party says, mo,
that flag stands for a great, hoping,
aspiring, sublime nation, not for con-
federaey." / am opposed, I say, to
the election of Samuel J. Tilden, for
another reason. III he Is elected he
will be controlled by his party, and
his party will be controlled by the
southern stockholders in that party
They own nineteen-twentieths of the
stock, and they will dictate the policy
of the Democratic corporation. No
Northern Democrat has the manhood
TO stand up before a Southern Demo-
crat. Every Northern Democrat,
nearly, has face Of dough, and the
Southern Democrat will swap ears,
change his nose, cut his mouth the
other way of the leather, SO that his
own mother wouldn't know him, i'm
fifteen minutes. If Samuel J. Tilden
is elected President of the United
States, he will be controlled by the
Democratic party and the Democrat
ic party will be controlled by the
Southern Democracy,-thati IL To say,
the late Rebels; that il TO say, the
men that tried to destroy the Govern
ment; that is TO say, the men who are
sorry they didn't destroy the Govern
ment; that is to say, the enemies of
every friend of this Union; that is to
say. the murderers and the assassins
of Union men living in the Southern
country.
On the other hand, the Republican
party put forward Rutherford B.
Hayes. He Is an honest man. The
Democrats will say, "That is moth
ing Well, let them try it. Ruther-
ford b. Hayes has a good character
4 good character is not built upon
prospectus, but upon good record
A good character is made up not of
what you agree to do, but Of the good
things you really have done. If you
| could make good character on prom
ises, the Democrats would have one
tomorrow. But good character
rests upon good action, upon some
thing already accomplished. Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, when this War COM
menced, did not say with Tilden, 1T
is an outrage" He did not say with
Tilden, II never will contribute to
! the prosecution "f this War" But he
did say this: II would go into this
War III knew / would be killed in
the course Of 1t, rather than to live
through it and take no part in it,
Search the patriotic records of the
world, and you will find no nobler, no
tilut
of Rutherford b. Hayes. During the
War Rutherford b. Hayes received
many wounds in his flesh, but not one
scratch upon his honor. Samuel J.
Tilden received many wounds i'm his
honor, but not one scratch upon his
flesh. Rutherford B. Hayes Is a firm
man; not an obstinate man, but u
firm man; and draw this distinctions:
A firm man will do what he believes
to be right because he wants to do the
right. He will stand firm because he
believes it to be right, but an obstin-
ate man wants is own way, whether 1t
right or whether il IL wrong. Ruther-
ford B. Hayes is firm i'm the right,
and obstinate only when he knows he
is in the right. you want to vote
for man who fought for you, vote
for Rutherford B. Hayes. Ifyou want
to vote for man who carried our
flag during the storm Of shot and
shell, vote for Rutherford B. Hayes
IT you believe patriotism to be vir-
tue, vote for Rutherford B. Hayes. If
you believe this country wants heroes,
vote for Hayes. If you are for man
who turned against the country in the
time of war, vote for Samuel J. Tilden.
II you believe the war waged for the
salvation of your nation is an outrage,
vote for Tilden. II you believe it is
better to stay at home and curse the
brave men in the field fighting for the
sacred rights of man, vote for Tilden.
If you want to pay a premium upon
treason, you want to pay premium
upon hypocracy, If you want to pay a
premium upon sympathising with
the enemies of your country, vote for
Tilden. II you believe patriotism is
right, if you believe that brave de-
fender of liberty is better than an
assassin Of freedom, vote for Ruther-
ford B. Hayes.
