DR.. Todd being called for, said talking
politics was new business TO him. He had
during bis life continued consistently and
persrstently to vote the democratic ticket.
he had been q democrat when it cost
something 70 vote With that party. Il
was disgraceful fact that party had
ever existed so arrogant and Overbearine
that Its members would not allow neigh
Dor tovote according to his sentiments.
Now the opponents of democracy had be-
come more tolerent; they had no longer
the vitality to sustain a sentimental issue
aud people could consider and discuss
principles. The bloody shirt was no long
er an element in national politics. CUES.
ions OF revenue, currency and taxation,
are presenting themselves as the questions
now to be discussed, Never in all its his
tory had the democratic party attempted
to toIst upon the people false issues: it had
never tried lodging the true issues. 1t.
took stand on the tariff question which
concerned every man, moman and child.
The party had always favored retrench-
ment. There had never been time that
they had not felt the necessity of legislat
ing for the peoples rights. The currency
question was an important one, In that
direction there had never been an act done
by the republicans az the request of capi.
tai but that the democracy had opposed il.
He appealed to all to examine the records
and veryify this statement. The act TO
strengthen the public credit, which was

democrats IN congress. If we believe our
We cannot go amiss in working
tor the democracy. We have it in onr
power to disseminate documents which
prove that everything the people have de-
manded the democrats have worked for.
1t every township in the state had been as
thoroughly canvassed as Galva was. two
years age, the state would have been
democratic. Our vote was largely increas.
ed. Illinois will go democratic this fall. |
We already have a democratic senate
chosen, the next house of representatives
will be democratic, and in 1880 we will
elect democratic president. Everything
tends to favor and encourage us in the ef- |
forts we may make in behalf of the party.
