Tor the invitation. They were bound by the
laws Of war and of Nations to pay every dollar
and we forgave them that debt, and to day you
are being taxed heavily to pay the interest on
the debt that they ought to have paid. Such
to those rebels has never been witnessed on
earth since God made the earth, and in my
humble Judgment will never be witnessed
error that we committed was In not hanging
enough Of those rebels to make treason for
ever odious. Somebody committed . crime.

Mr.. Chandler dwelt at some length upon the
election laws, and claimed that the Southern
end of the Republic didn't want any safe
guards put upon the purity Of the elections
because they would interfere with the opera
lions Of the Ku-Klux at the polls Said Mr..
Chandler:
Give them permission to perpetrate the same

the South and those two cities, with the Solid
South, will give them the Presidency Of tho
United States, and by fraud and violence they
would hold 1t for a generation. To-day eight

To-day there are thirty-two Southern Demo-

and out of the whole twelve there is not man
who dares to protest against anything. Now,
II every man here should hold up his right
hand and swear that a rebel soldier was better
than Union sol der, l would not believe 1t,
for would hold up both Of my hands and
swear that did not believe it. Yet to-day In
south Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, MisSiS-
sipp and several other States, the vote of
rebel soldier counts more than two of the
votes of the soldiers of Illinois,. for they vote
FOR the negro as we'll IS themselves, and their
vote weighs just double the weight of the vote
of the Illinois soldier.
Mr.. Chandler entertained the audience with
rccount of the manner in which the Repub-
lican party had saved the country and raised
1t to its pre-emincnt position as compared with
the cffcte monarchics Of Europe. All this had
been done in eighteen years Of Republican
rulc and whereas eighteen years ago there
was no Nation on earth poor enough to do tho
United States reverence, now there was no
reverence. He continues:
Alter we have done oil this we are told that
VIC ought to die. II there was ever q political
organization on Gods earth which, so far as .
future state OF punishment is concerned. 10
prepared to die 1t is that old Republican party.
But we amt a going to die yet. We have made
other arrangements.
Mr.. Chandler challenged the worst enemy
the Republican party ever had to name q sim
gle unfulhlled pledge given by the Republican
party. =.
He also complimcnted the Republican party
Tor wiping slavery off the American Continent,
and cnacting the Homestead law, and various
other pieces Of legislation for which the party
is responsible. He continued:
Senator Ben Hill, Of Georgia, had said that
ne was an Ambassador from the sovereign
state OF Georgia to the Senate of the United
states. suppose Ben Hill should be caught in

and yet you tell us we ought to die.
What would you think OF a manufacturing
concern here in Chicago that failed about the
year 1857, and the citizens Of Chicago thought
resume business. So we would buy the prop
erty for fifty cents on the dollar, and reorgafl-
ize it under your general laws, elect officers,
and finally find Msat You believe to Ss the
very man for that business and put him into

up with htt the progress OF the age and he goes
out OF confusion: he manages the business 80
that the stock Of the concern rises to par;
dividends arc paid semi-annually and they

teen years of successful management the man

President has had little conversation with his
Directors, and says:

OF our employees was caught stealing and sent
to the Penitentiary. He has never served his
time out, and we propose to put him in your
place: Wouldn't you say that the President

Now, tell you, Mr.. Chairman, the mission
OF the Republican party is not ended. tell
you furthermore, Mr.. Chairman, that II has
