In a word, ia the Republican party to
be turned out because 1t has been grand
success, in spite oil the opposition oil the
Tine speaker referred TO free trade as
another one OF the traditional doctrines OF
the Democratic party, and most power
fully portrayed It's disastrous results. He
also disclosed the false pretences Of the
Democracy, in demanding free ballot
and fair count, as Is exhibited in those
States where they have the power, and
especially as is shown in the late election
in Alabama. And in this connection. he
demolished their stories about troops at
thepolls.
In reference to the well known South
ern plan Of carrying elections, which was
most powerfully exposed, the speaker
said that as for himself, and speaking for
himself alone, he would say that II II Is
necessary to secure that greatest Of all
rights, the right to a free ballot, ty the aid
OF the troops, then he would be In favor
Of their use for that purpose: 49,.
After discussing the political questions,
he proceeded to notice the candidates.
He spoke grandly Of Gen. Hancock as a
soldier, but could not view him In any
other light, as he had never been any
thing else. He eulogized Garfield from
the tow path to the United States Senate,
and with few words demolished the vile
ISLANDERS of those who are trying to de-
fame his character, and after quoting the
Testimony OF Judge Black, Senator Thur
man and other Democratic authorities o.
TO the falsity OF these charges, he said;
"Why Ben Wilson says they are talse;
and after one OF his peculiarly ludicrous
grimaces, he added: "and that ought to set
tie It." ID
he gave us an interesting history Of oni
noble candidate for Governor; and he
gave Jake Jackson all the benefit that he
can derive from his undying hate. He
drew forcible and eloquent contrast be-
tween the well-known declaration o.
hatred by Mr.. Jackson and the iamouL
works OF Mr.. Lincoln, which were uttered
during the excitement OF civil war, anc
while his enemies were heaping on HI!
head all the calumny that maddened
enemy could devise. Said Lincoln; VIZ
maldcc toprdrd none, and lrith charity for all
tre iciR 90 on in The right, as God gIres Us 4
zee The right"
You must imagine the effect of such
contrast: can not picture it., seemed a!
il the wave Of applause which followed
would sweep the author OF those wordt
OF hate into everlasting oblivion, while
the name OF Lincoln, and his inspired
words, will live forever in the hearts o.
a loving people.
