we will not only not forget the past, but
we will not let you forget your past either.
;Laughter) No, my friends the mission
IL the Republican party is not ended, and
1t is not going to die. The mission OF
the Republican party will never be ended
until liberty prevails throughout every
inch OF the territories Of these United
States. The mission of the Republican
party will not end until it is safe for you
and me to travel from the lakes to the
gull, and preach good, sound Republican
doctrine, and vote good sound Repub-
llcan vote, as it is for
THOSE DEvILIsH REBELS
TO come here to talk treason, and cast
democratic votes. Laughter. We listen
to them politely, allow them to take up
their residence here, and talk treason and
vote the Democratic ticket, and take no
exceptions TO it. We have done so ever
since the rebellion closed, and our mis-
sion will never end until you and I can
travel together from here to the Gulf of
Mexico, and make the blacklist Repub-
mean speeches that were ever made, and
vote the Republican ticket every time
once. Uaughter)
One single word more, fellow citizens
tor l know you are terribly anxious to
hear brother Garfield. (Cries of eco on !")
want to say one single word more to
you. Did it ever occur to you that
IT WAS CALLED FUN
tor those boys who threw stones at the
frogs, but how was it with the frogs? NV
voice troubles me, as you have all seen.
one single word, my fellow citizens with
regard to the prospects Of the country. 1t
has been the custom with our opponents,
and particularly those of the greenbsck
persuasion, to say that the people were
starving to death. Do you know Of any,
body in the state of Wisconsin who is
able to do good days work that cannot
get employment to-day? There is not a
solitary one in the state Of Michigan who
is willing to work who cannot get a good
days pay for good days work as COM
pared with
THE PRICE OF COMMODITIES.
There has never been a time when DAVIS
labor would buy as many of the necessa-
ries and luxuries of life as days labor
will buy to-day. Applause. There
has never been day when days labor
would buy as many necessaries, as many
pounds of pork and beef, of flour or corn
meal, of bacon, potatoes and all the nee
essaries of life; linsey woolsey and cali
co, and, if you please, silk dresses. There
has never been time when a days labor
would buy as many Of the necessaries
and luxuries Of life as it will today.
Prosperity is spreading throughout
all our borders. To-day, you do not have
to carry counterfeit note detector along
with you, to see whether the bank has
broken, or whether it has not. To-day
you can select gold or silver or bank
notes, that you know to be good, for your
days labor, and you know that it is worth
a Hundred cents. My Fellow citizens,
let me say that in my judgement this
prosperity
HAS COME TO STAY,
and that the dark days are over Now,
my fellow citizens, adhere to this good
old republican party, that has done SO
much for you, and SO much tor the coun-
try, and vote the republican ticket every
time, and keep your conscience clear,
and you will never regret it. [Long, loud
and enthusiastic cheersl.
