when that party went out of power To-
| day the bonds sell at six per cent. premium
| [Applause] Mr.. Page then explained the
national election laws, which apply only to
towns of 10000 inhabitants, and were rem.
dered necessary to prevent frauds at the
South and in the great cities of the East
4 The people almost unanimously demanded
the law, and no citizen honestly entitled to
vote has been deprived of his right under it.
| Mr.. Page then reviewed the situation in the
South, to show that since the withdrawal of
| the troops the Republican majorities have
disappeared almost utterly, and that in Con-
gressional Districts where there are from b.
600 to $4,000 Republican majority, it the
vote is properly counted or permitted, the
Democrats now elect their men, and few Re-
| publicans dare even to nominate candidates,
| let alone run them or vote for them. He read
| from the Congressional Directory many
names of ex-Confederates elected as Demo-
Gratis from Southern Congressional Districts,
| acittoat opposition, where formerly, under
| Grants Administration, the voters were pro-
tected, and were overwhelmingly Republican.
| He cited these facts to call the attention of
the people to them, land asked if they are will
| ing longer to submit to the clearly established
| terrorism of the South, under which fair
representation is impossible. the election laws
are overriddep, and the citizens prevented
| from freely and uninterruptedly casting their
votes as they please. Applause. Failure
to protect the citizen in that right is failure
of a republican form of government. lap
plause.l This Government is not entitled to
the support of the people unless it will, In
every place and spot in the Union, protect,
by the bayonet if necessary, every citi-
zen, black or white, in the exercise
of the elective franchise. [Applause.l But
the Democrats declare in and out OF Con-
gress that the election laws shall be repealed,
and the last vestige of protection obliterated.
They attempted once to repeal the laws, but
thank God a Republican President stood
firm, and would not permit it. Applause.
Why is the South solid in 1850: 1t was
solid in 1860 1t gave no electoral vote to
Mr. Lincoln It was solid then for purpose.
1t is solid now for purpose. Is 1t on the
questions of tariff, finance or internal i'm
proyements? No; but it is solid, as
Wade Hampton said, for the res
toration of the principles for which
Lee and J aclson fought On that issue the
Boys in Blue once met the solid South and
the rebellion went down before the invinci-
BILE tread of the people and the nation.
[Great applause Let the North too, be
solid. Applause. Let it meet the solid
South, not with bavonets, but with ballots
cast for the principles for which Grant and
Sherman and Sheridan fought lGreat APP
plause The men who advised Buchanan in
1866 are to-day supporting Hancock
Toombs, Harris, Hill and Others in the
South Hendricks, Gwin, Black and others
at the North. They told Buchanan he had
no power TO save the life of the nation. and
the Democratic Convention of California in
1861 declared that it was opposed to the elm
ployment of force to eoerce the South, and
refused to support Lincoln in his effort to
raise men to crush the rebellion. Senator j.
T. Farley was in that Convention. Yet these
Democrats to-day say they put down the re-
bellion. They declared against the call for
70, 600 men, against the call for 500, 900
men, against the draft, against the
Emancipation Proclamation, against green
backs and SO on, and yet, Judge
down the rebellion, and now their want is
more greenbacks Laughter and applause.
In 1864 the Democratic party demanded
that the war cease then, and that cowardly
peace be negotiated. At that very hour the
rebellion was on its last legs. Applause At
that very hour Sherman was marching to the
sea [great cheeringl and soon after Lee sur
rendered TO Grant under the apple tree at
Appomattox. Applause. But in 1868 the
same party resolved against the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
Then in 1872 they declared in favor of re-
turn to specie payment, and the Republicans
accomplished it. What them The Demo.
Gratis met and declared against the resumption
Act. and demanded its repeal. Applause and
laughter) Now, in 1880, they declare in
favor of still another system of finance, and
with such record ask to be restored to
power viii the people trust such party
said as to the tariff he stood with the Repub-
lican party, and regretted that he had not
time to discuss the question at length, as he |
had done in all his speeches in the campaign, |
and as he believed himself familiar with it. |
He concluded with brief and neat perora-
ton. After music by the band. Judge L. 3. |
Mcfarland was introduced. He said it was !
too late an hour to enter upon set speech,
but he would exhort briefly He then made |
a concise, patriotic address, which was an
earnest appeal to the people to think, reflect |
and decide if they would trust the |
destinies of a nation to men who are |
by act and doctrine its declared enemies. |
His address was full of historical citations, /
and in it he drew a striking picture of what
may he under Democratic rule, as the legiti-
mate fruit and result of Democratic teach
ings Of this hour, and concluded by witty |
and incisive hit at those who had gone cut of
the Republican party and wandered off into
new-fangled and impracticahle financial the
cries, while the country is struggling with |
mightier issues which involve its very life.
With much loud cheering the meeting ad
journed.
