Ladies' and Gentlemen: I hope We
may be able to have quiet and order
here. II 10 not important so far a. any
thing that / will have to say to you 10
concerned, because I shall not be able
TO make many OF you hear; but after me
comes q speaker whom I know You will
all be glad to hear. and you can do 80 BY
keeping quiet and orderly. Not being
accustomed to speaking publicly. / have
drawn Of . few words that / will say In
advance OF the gentleman who 10 to
follow me. Taking o roll Of manu-.
script from his pocket the General
read:1 In view Of the known character
and ability OF the speaker who 10 to cd.
dress You today, and his long public
career and association with the leading
statesmen OF the country for the past
twenty years. II would not DO becoming
in me to dstsin you with many remarks
OF my own; but It may be proper for me
to account to you, on the frst occasion
OF my presiding ct q political meeting.
for the ''taith that 10 In me-" am Q
Republican. as the two great political
parties are now divided, because the Re.
publican party Is q national party, seek.
ing the creates. good OF the greatest
number Of Its citizens. There 10 not
precinct Ia this vast nation where
Democrat cannot cast his ballot
and have Il counted as cast, NO matter
what the predominsncs Of the other
party. He can proclaim his political
opinions. sven II be 10 only one among
q thousand, without fear and without
prescription on account OF his opin-
Ions. There are fourteen States. and 10.
%calities In some others, where the Re.
publicsps have not this privilege. This
10 one reason why I am Q Republican.
But I am q Republican for many other
reasons. The Republican party assures
proteetion to life. property. public credit
and the payment Of the debts OF the gov
eminent, State, county, or municipality
30 far as It can control. The Democratic
party does not promise this; II IL does.
II has broken Its promise to the extent
OF hundreds OF millions. as many Nor
thern Democrats can testify to their sor-
row. I am q Republican as between ex.
listing parties, because 1t fosters produc-
ton Of the field and farm and oil manu-
iacturers. aud IL encourages the general
education Of the poor a. we'll a. the rich.
The Democratic party discouraged all
these when In absolute power. The Re-
publican party is the party OF progress
and liberality toward It's opponent. 1t
encourages the poor to strive to better
their condition. the ignorant to educate
their children to enable them to compete
successfully with their more fortunate
associates, and In fact Il secures an en-
tire equality before the law Of every
citizen, NO matter what his race, ma
iiouality, or previous condition. It
tolsratss no privileged class. Every
ono has tho opportunity to make
himself all he IL capable OF.
Ladies aud gentlemen, do you believe
this can DO truthfully said In the greater
part Of fourteen States Of this Union to.
day, which the Democratic party controls
absolutely. Tue Republican party 10 Q
party Of principles, prevailing wherever
II has o foothold. The Democratic patty
10 united In but one thing. and that 10 10
getting control OF the government In all
its branches. It 10 for internal improve
mspt ct the expense OF the Government
in one section and against this In an
other. 1t fsvors repudiation oil solemn
obligations In n section and honest
payments Of Its debts In anothsr-where
public opinion will not tolerate any other
view. It fsvors fat money In ono place
and good money In another. Finally, It
iavots the pooling Of all issues, not 10
vored by the Republicans, to the end
that II may secure the principle upon
which the party 10 . most harmonious
unit. namely; the gaining control Of the
government In all Its branches. have
been In some part OF every State lately
in rebellion within the last year. I was
most Hospitality received ct every place
I stopped. Ny receptions were not BY
the Union class alone, but by oil classes.
I had 0 free talk with many who were
against US 10 the war. and who have
been against the Republican party
svsr since. They were In oil instauces
reasonable men. judged BY what they
said. believed then and / believe now
that they sincerely want q breakup In
this "Solid South" political condition.
They see that IL 10 to their pecuniary
interest a. we'll a. to their happiness
that there should bs harmony and con.
adence between all sections. They want
to break away from the slavery which
binds them to Q party name. They
want . pretsxt that enough OF them can
unite upon 10 mako II respectable. Once
started The "Solid South" will 90 as ku.
