ATTACHMENT OF THE DEMOCRACY BY SENATOR
CHANDLER.
Mr. Chandler then arraigned the Democrats
party for Its course in the present session. HI
said We have now been three months and
half in this capitol without certain results. w
, have shown to the people Of this nation jus
what the Democratic party means. The peopl,
have been informed az to your party's end
and aims. BY fraud and violence, by shot gum
and tissue ballots You hold your present ma
jority In both houses Of Congress, and you hav,
taken early opportunity to show what you In.
tend to do with that majority thus obtained
You are within sight OF the promised land, but
like Moses Of old we propose to send you uI
into the mountain to die. Great laughter
Mr.. President, we are approaching the end oil
this extra session, and its record will soon be-
come history. The acts OF the Democratic
party, as manifested IN this Congress, justify
me in arraigning it before the loyal people OF
the United States on political issues which il
has presented as the enemy Of the nation and
as the author and abettor OF rebellion Mr.
Chandler proceeded to arraign the Democratic
party as follows:
l. For having resorted to revolutionary
measures to carry out their partisan projects
by attempting to coeree the executive by with
holding supplies, aud thus acco mplishing by
starvation the destruction OF the government
which they had failed to overthrow by arms.
2. For having injured the business interests
Of the country by forcing the present extra
session, after liberal compromises were rendered
to them prior to the close OF the last session.
8. For having attempted to throw away the
results OF the recent war by again elevating
state over national sovereignty. We sacrificed
more than 100000 lives, and expended $5,O0O.-
100000 to put down this heresy, and to per-
petuate the national life. They surrendered
this pretension at Appomattox, but now they
attempt to renew it.
4. For having attempted (there are honorable
exceptions, and long may they be remembered
to damage the business interests Of the country
by forcing silver coin into circulation OF less
value than it represents, thus swndling the
laboring man and producer, by compelling him
to accept So cents for dollar, and thus enrich
af fho ~ t.A1
Twelve hundred million dollars is paid yearly
to labor alone in this country, and by forcing
the 80 cent dollar on the working man you
swindled them out OF one hundred and eighty
millions yearly.
B. For having removed without cause sxper-
fenced officers and employees OF this body, some
OF whom served and were wounded in the
union army, and with appointing men who
had in the rebel army, attempted to destroy
the government.
6. For having instituted secret and ilegit-
mate tribunals, the edcts OF which have been
made the supreme governing power Of Con-
gress. in defiance of the fundamental principles
OF the constitution. The DEGREES OF this iunta
are known, although its motives are hidden.
that arch-rebel Jefferson Davis great laughter
on the Democratic side j, declaring that he was
inspired by motives as sacred and as noble a.
Washington, and as having rendered |
services in attempting to destroy the Union
which would equal in history Grecian fame and
Roman glory. Laughter. You may laugh
the people of the north will make you laugh
from the other side Of your faces Renewed
laughter.
3. For having undertaken to blot from the
statute book OF the nation wise laws. rendered
necessary by the war and it's results, and insur-
ng life, liberty and the pursuit OF happinessr
20 emancipated freedmen. who are now 40
ouidozed and ku kluxed that they are seeking
peace in exile, although urged to remain by
'hotguns.
.. For having attempted to repeal the wise
legislation which excludes those who served
inder the rebel flag from holding commissions
n the army and navy Of the United States.
III. For having introduced large amount OF
