The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-06-24

The subsequent repetition of the
name OF Samuel ]. Tilden was the oc-
cssion for another outburst, del
egates rising in their seats
and cheering and waving of
fans. he asserted that they were as
certainly elected as Washington or
Monroe (subdued applause.) He de-
nounced the Republican party as one
OF fraud which cheated the people ont
OF their choice thus proving their inf
deity to republican principles, but if
the Democratic party should again oe
successful, no cunning device OF dis.
honest arbitration should rob them of
the fruits Of their victory. Applause. 7
Although the Democrats failed
to inaugurate their candidates
their cause was not wholly lost
they defeated the attempt to steal the
state government Of Florids, and no
trace remained OF carpet-baggers in
the South except $40, 600, 600 of state
debts accumulated by them as a
burden upon the people and the fact
that Louisiana has only one rightfulSen-
ator In Congress. Applause.
