How did me- feel at the Chicago
convention. They saw Grant with
3elknap and Babcock and were afraid
If them and nominated Garfield.
Now every candidate is the represent
tive of his party. Look at Garfield,
consider his STAINS and realize what
he better portion Of the Republica-
party is. Judge Buckner has truly
odd you that Garfield is a man of
and so far as he Is honest, l
honor him too; but as a party repre-
l cannot homo: him. He
was denounced by his party for tax
ing stock in the Credit Mobelier.
He also received the De Golyer bride.
The history of his connection with
the 8 to z, the grandest fraud ever
perpetrated is inscribed on your trans
parencies. Whatever glory may
await this nation in the future it must
be dwarfed by this fraud. People
must face this fraud, but Garfield de-
clares it don't matter who votes. 1t
all depends upon who counts.
Now how are we affected by this
representative, stepped in p~ecuniary
and political fraud put up by the
better part of the Republican party.
My God, who can indulge in contem-
plating him without feelings of shame.
(Cry of shame! shame! shame sii
ove the audience! On he other
hand il this man is the best WHO Is
the worse "a voice, Grant?) When
they beat Grant ut Chicago it WAS
through returning board tricks. They
counted out part of Grants delegates.
(Great applause
To talk about the mistakes of the
grand old Democracy while night
enshrouded its banner would make
all weep. But it has made no mis-
take this time. 1t is on the road to
victory now. (Cheers.)
A voice, what about Weaver !:
Weaver is to small too come into this
fight. In all Monroe there are bu,
two Greenbackers, and the clubs
here are trying to preserve them fol
seed. A voice, there is only one 10

there is no room for either depart

laughter.)

short, but he stuck in it for a long

what he caused US because he had

used to stealing in the South. Rob-
berry was their trade. They tried to
rob every body. As has been said
they undertook to stretch their felo-
NOUS fingers into the pockets of even
the generation yet to come by involv-
ing the South IN debt. But when
Hancock went South and laid down
his sword, as has been stated, he did
not try to keep us slaves. He in-
vited u to return to the old flag as
freed men. (Cheers.) Ever since
that time the South has been for Han
cock. Many victories have been
won by him, but his grandest is
ahead. He will not only be elected .
He will be inaugurated also. There
will be no more 8 to rs. We are
marching 70 victory. Let the Radio

come them. Our motto and our bat
tie cry is "Peace on earth and good
will to man." Continued cheering,
music and IRE works.
At this point the chairman an

Withdrawing from the Congressional

county, was then introduced and ad-
dressed the meeting substantially as
follows:
Fellow CITIZENS OF AUpRA1N As

publicans with Democrats, this noise.
these fireworks, and all this confus-
ion reminds me OF the means by
which the Republicans came into
power. But looking away from them
to the shining arch above us, l see
stars undimmed by rockets tonight.
l accept these latter rs illustrations
and say that the principles of the
Democratic party will live rs long as
those stars. l would like to add the
sentiments Of my heart to what has
been Said about Hancock and Eng
lish. ! think | have a right to come
here tonight. As l came to your
city I passed on the road every thing
that is calculated to make u people
and prosperous, and as l see
the cloud Of Grantism, third termlsm,
and imperialism pass away, l can
