GOV. DIGLER's REMARKS.
! cannot express TO you my salts.
faction at being called upon to preside
over these acres Of people. consider
myself highly honored by being called
upon to preside over this meeting.
But there are other things TO be
considered besides our own feelings of
personal qualification in this canvass.
1t ls your right and duty TO know
whether the men you elect arc compe-
tent to carry out the principles we ad,
vocate. have never seen, amidst onr
degradations, and all our corruptions,
have never seen the public much
and | consider there is no
greater wrong than that committed
oy Tue unialthiul representative. When
you vote for a representative, saying
Dne thing and they say another, It is
great fraud Whilst / am as kind in
my heart as any man who talks upon
political affairs, You must pardon me
I speak strongly
They have promised US honesty and
rugality, but instead OF that they
lave gwen ~ the most irightiul prodl.
'aliiy; and | say it with regret-ior
always rcgret such lhings--l hnvet
lever known in such large degre,
nch corruption as We have now. In
making these charges desire to 10
'ack TO the time when peace was dc.
lared. Every fair man must concede
hat their government since the war
las been failure.
Gentlemen, in all things considered
Is the judgment Of the people that
he party IN power should retire for
he good OF the people. They are un.
Die to adopt any measures Of relief
hey tell you IL We get into power we I
III pay the rebel debt. Why, gen.
lrmen, there is no rebel debt to nay.
We might ansv or their charges in this
