to take up our record from 1861, and show
al "a wrongs. On the very same
grannd they attack us.
am . republican to day, and am not
ashamed III N. wish to bear my portion
uf The good OF IN the party has done.
Tie party Is rs far above the Democratic
As the top Of Banker Hill monument u
above the lowest stone that marks the
disgrscefnl defeat Of Biadensburg. l am
a republican because the party is the
champion Of human rights and freedom.
| know true and loyal democrats were ia
Itte Union army but it was the wrong
eide that shaped their platforms You
the republican party had its birth it was
In the throes Of warl Its first platform
read mo more slaves and no more slave
states Lincoln was elected ON that
platform. and tho rebellion followed. 1
will not say who was the cause of the war.
For . year aud y half defeat aud victory
hung in the scales. aud we did not begin
to win until . ruling Providence gave US
The Emancipation Proclamation. We
went into the war at first to preserve the
union, but as an alternative the nation
had TO issue the proclamation and free
the bondmen. At the close Of the war,
the party abolished all slavery. Do you
wonder that I am a republican, The re
publican party gave US u homestead law,
and has been a friend to the poor--he ia
only independent who is monarch Of the
land he tills.
The republican party has given US a
sound currency. The crashes Of is87-47
81, under democratic rule were disas-
trous, but the crashes Of our late financial
crisis have not turned money TO ashes in
mems pockets-it is the governments
promise to pay that makes our money
good. If its volume must be increased
let us make q dollar in paper worth a
dollar in gold.
But to Dakot, politics: If there is a
wrong ticket there must be a right one,
and republicans should vote for me.
Where will Bartlett Trip sit if he goes
to Congress. His associates will be the
very men who tried to kill us years ago!
Do you want Dakota to work with the
south, AS territory we should throw
labors with the party that will do the
most good.
Of myself: They say I am from the
Black Hillsl 1 am rot ashamed of it,
it 10 a beautiful country! The people
want to hold the Territory intact, so that
this will make the grandest state in the
union. Again they say I am poorl No
n can regret it more than I do myself,
And they shy l am a carpet bagger-I am
here because l wanted 70 be, nad l am
going to stay whether you elect me to
Congress or not
