back with me. First, 70 with me 10 the
Shenandoah valley, and there Won will
see that bright little river flowing down
between its banks, and as the waters
now recede you will see laying there the
bones and grinning skulls OF men who

some OF them ONO men. They were
attacked at that lord by q Confederate
officer at the head of a body OF cavalry.
That officer had more dash, more cour-
aye, U OF everything that makes a
good partisan officer, and did US more
damage than any other General under
the grade OF Major-General, TO say the
least. He raided all our camps, and
cut oil our sources OF supply, and made
1t dangerous Tor any small number OF
men TO leave the main body OF the army.
Now. here was IN arch rebel. Will the
Democratic party put him in office?
Ii Hancock is elected-he fought all he
could against him-he, OF all men,
would seem 10 be the last ina To put
into power. The Democratic party
won't put him in office for the reason
that his name is MOsby, and he is now
Hayes Consul in China.
Let us try again 10 see
WHETHER THIS Il " Honest CLAIM.
Go back with me seventeen years and
look at another beautiful valley, with
the surrounding range OF hills, between
which lay q peaceful, beautiful village;
and then there opens out al the lett, as
yOu stand on a ridge in the village, Il
wide extended plain. In July, 1868,
the battle ragged around that village and
over that plain for two long days. 1t
was the determining battle of the war.
The morning OF the third day the sun
rose upon two ~lines-One, the line OF
blue, on one range of hills to the left,
and smother, the line OF gray on the
other line of hills separated by this plain.
Soon after the sun rose three lines OF
COnirderateS marched forward at a
charge to drive back the center OF this
line Cf blue. They were opened upon
with tour hundred pieces OF artillery.
They gave back. What officer was 1t on
that large, bay charger, who sat there
ike a statue of iron and sent his aides
hithcr and yOn to rally his broken
columns and drive them up TO the
charge? And again they went back.
What officer was it that the second time,
yea. and the third time, who drove those
men with the force almost OF a thunder
bolt, uron that line OF blue? But still
they fa,tered. But all that man could

point. lie had appointed Hancock To
command there. lGreat applause.

Wha; shall be done with that rebel
. officer. educated at West Point, sworn
TO support the Constitution, who dId
! those great deeds OF daring courage and

down the Government and destroy the
Union? What shall happen to him?
Will the Democratic party put HIM IN
