Gentlemen, what say you 10 II
cry. "a solid north against a SOLID
south 2" Is it not the CRY OF hatred,
the expression of treason! IL shou'o
startle us az a fire bell i'll the night.
None should utter it who love a
united country better than partisan
rule. Leave that crime, my country
men, to those who seek wicked gam,
and who for gain would sell their
love of country. Party policy made
the attitude of the sold south inevita-
BILE. You republicans would despise
the men of tho south if they did hot
resist you. You established and
sought to maintain over them the
worst government in the world. You
first taught the colorrd men to dis
trust and hate them, and then to rule
over them. You gave the ballot to
colored meli and took it from the
whites, and you placed the colored
people themselves under the control
and management of adventures and
carpel-baggers. Thus the control O.:
public affairs all over the south came
into the hands of bad men who were
no way identified with the people or
section, but were strangers III SYM
palhy and purpose. The public good
erased TO be a purpose of government.
Plumber of the people prevailed
everywhere. The increase of the
Indebtedness became frightful. Tax
alton threatened to swallow up not
only the earnings but the accumula-
lions of the people. Men contem-
plated approaching ruin with horror.
AT length large bodies of the colored
voters turned against the demorallza-
ton, aud state after state was re-
covered, reclaimed, restored. RS
toration of the democratic party i'll
those states became indispensable to
recovery and protection of popular
rights ; indispensable to the security
of property and the welfare of labor.
Political union for protection against
| plumber and ruin made the south u |
| political unit, and at once the price
| of wages and the price of lands went
up, and valuable productions were
increased. Is there any man here
whose hatred to the south is 80 ma
lignant hat he would tear down the
present authority and put up again
the vampire government of ten years
ago ? Do you hate the south, any Of
you republican gentlemen, bad
enough to do that thing
Your fears and prejudices are now
addressed because of the character
of the representation in congress of
the south. You republican people
are told that in q large degree the
representation in congress is made
up of b%rigadiers from the southern
army. Is that disabreeable to you.
Then, perhaps, you will find comfort
in the fact hat the evil will decrease
as years roll by. The older men will
pass away, but | dare not saw to you
that the young men that will take
their places will be any more agreea-
BILE to you. L think they will not.
But the offense TO you is not that they
are brigadiers 4; it is only that they
are democrats, and stand in the way
of the partial and unfair purposes of
your party. You know this TO be
true. 1t does not offend yoI that
brigadiers are now in the cabinet.
Applause and laughter. 1t does not
offend you that there are brlgadiers
sitting in the courts of the United
States and in high public offices. They
are of your party, and you are con
The public expenditures have been
reduced so that the saving in four
years of the democratic control, as
compared with the four preceding
years, exceeds 800, 100000. The say
ing to the state of Ohio in these four
years has been above 1900. 900. AVID
10 each congressional district ii has
been more than $3.50, 900. The saving
each year made by the democrats has
been more than the average annual
expenditures during the administra-
tons of Adams and Jackson. The
democrats in those four years have
, saved each year more than the average
of all the expenses during the admin
istrations of Adams and Jackson. 4 4
We want the troops taken away
from the polls. We want the cleo
lions to be free and fair, and without
e the corrupt influence of deputy mar
shals and supervisors. In the name
| of fair play we demand this. The
1 federal election laws were adopted as
: party machinery. They serve no good
purpose. Their only design is to keep
the party in power, and a party thai
: has to keep itself in power by the
adoption of unfair machinery, is un.
n worthy the support of the meancs
' man that lives.
