We here know how our majority is
throttled, know how the voice of the
people is suppressed, know how we are
cheated from . fair vote, know how by
tyranny the minority is kept in power

that this county possessing as 1t does
large pyepOuderance of the popula-
tion Of the State which goes to make up
the mass of the Republican party, has
been kept down by assessment laws,
odiously enacted and still more odiously
enforced. Applause
We meal to reverse and break down
these odious laws, and we have begun
we'll by nominating for Sheriff and Coro-
ner men who are worthy OF our sup
port, and the nation has done we'll by
statesmen who will have
the cordial and enthusiastic support of
the people. By proper effort l doubt
not that we will elect Philip R. Clark,
as Sheriff of New Castle county, and
James A. Garfield as President of the
United States. Applause and cheers. ]

MIR. PRESIDENT AHD Fellow CITIZENS:
Il asked a gentleman today what he
OF the nomination at Chicago
and he replied that it was a fortunate
and that Providence
had directed it. know of no nomina-
tion for the office of President in my
recollection that has met with such
genuine, such unanimous approval and
with the people as
that of Gen. Jam IS A. Garfield. Why
Because he is true man. Because
he is the best type of an American
Statesman. Taken as a soldier, citizen
Or a statesman he represents the full
and comprehensive meaning of Repub.
Iican principles. Take him from kis
entrance into political life in 1859, as
Senator from Ohio, as a Representative
n Congress from 1863 to this time you
will find that he has been a consistent
and able advocate Of every |
MEASURE to secure personal liberty, per-
onal security andoivil rights applause.
Ie has been the consistent exponent Of
very measure that has been fo- The
Welfare and prosperity of the country.
As a soldier he entered the war in
SCI, before he was thirty years Of age
s Colonel Of the AID Regiment, Ohio
and was put in immediate
of the troops in Kentucky
nd drove General Marshall beyond its
oundary lines. Soon he was made
rigadier General and was afterwa1d
romoted to Major General Of volun-
,ers for bravery and merit at Chick.
There was no soldier or gen.
raj in the army to whom he did not
and equal. While in the military
,rvice in 1868 he was elected to Con-
ress and took his seat in the House of
representatives.. He was made chair
an of the committee on Military AT
irs, where he took part in the i'm
,rtant work Of that time and Of sub
quent periods. c
He represents today the best ele- d
tents Of the party and their is not a /
mister or a christian woman or man G
1t who can work earnestly for his f
ection. It is such a nomination as
'ery man can work for from the heart @
It. The giandest spot of the whole J.,
ing is that the great Republican par.
has raised itself TO his standard and d
ade him its standard bearer. Zap C,

We have a man who harmonic IS the

Garfield. Any man who voted for q
lcoln, or for Grant or for any Repub. W
an candidate during the past twelve SO

Is were never better united. Next ar
