Colonel IngersolI on HancOck's Pledge

Colonel mgersOll on HancOck's Pledge.
From recent speech in Iaino,s.
He certifies to the American people
people that he will veto any law that
the party MAJ pass for tho payment of
of Southern claims. How did he ever
come to suspect that his piety would
pass such law? Laughter and APP
plausc.1 Garfield has written no letter
that he will veto law to pay Southern
claims. 1t is not little strange that
the candidate has to certify 10 his party.
Laughter and cheers. AS rule, in
this country, the party has always GER
titled 10 the candidate. Applause.
If General Garfield would certify that
he would veto certain law if it was
passed by the Republican party, The
whole party would feel insulted. [Cries
of CLEAR !'"Hear!" and loud applause
We would say to him; ave will take
care of ourselves; when you become
president exercise your power as in
yonr discresion You believe You ought,
but do not certify to the moral charac-
ter of the Republican party" APP
plause. Why did Hancock think il
necessary to certify TO their character?
Because he knew it is bad. Laughter.
He really thouahtthe American people
had more confidence in him than in the
Democratic party; for that reason he
steps to the front and says to the conn
try: 81 will not allow these ragamuflins
behind me TLaCghterl will not allow
these rebels who placed me in power
| will not allow them to pass law that
Idon't want" Laughter and applause
He says. 81 admit they are bad look at
them. [Renewed laughter.] l admit
you cannot trust them; but between
this hungry horde and the American
people promise to throw the shield Of
of my veto" He says, 'Ladics and
gentlemen, l wilt protect you from this
party. Laughter All l want of
these men is to make me President, and
| will protect you and let them go to
the devil" Laughter and applause. !
General Hancockmight die [Laughter],
death might veto him. Roars of laugh
ter. From the grave he could not car
ry ont his promise, and who comes in
then? Mr.. English. Death has never
elected good president in the United
States, yet death has always made a
frightful mistake. Laughter and ap-
plause.1 Read the letter of acceptance
made by Mr.. English, and tell me
whether you are willing to trust thai
man. Read his history-a man who
has done nothing but loan money, take
, deeds of trust on The "life liberty, and
! pursuits of happiness" of the people
ann then foreclose the deed.
