you might as we'll D1Ame the SOD
for the roryism OF his father, or q
young man because he is a descend
ant of Benedict Arnold, as to blame
the South as at present populated
for that war.
speaking of the term "Solid
South" AS applied by Republicans,
he asked If 1t was anything differ
ent from a Solid North. The theo-
ry of this government is based on
popular suffrage, and If the people
Of the South see fit to vote that way
they should be accorded that right.
But the Republicans claim that the
msjorities in the South are obtain
ed by force and fraud, and thin
make the confession that the Re-
publlcans in the South are towards
because they allow a majority to
be bulldOzed by minority. In
one precinct 1t was stated that
where there were $50 Republicans
and So Democrats, the election was
held under such circumstances as
to give Democratic majority. II
this is so, then the $50 we're arrant

American citizens. l had supposed
the war was over. l think IL IL,
and this Fall VIC will prove that
it is.
In 1876 I did not think the De-
mocracy would succeed, and when
the result was announced l was
deeply gratified. I never dreamed
that the fraud of 1876 would be per-
petrated on the American people.
1 was started aud surprised, for,
from my reading of political econ
omy, the Electoral Commission |
struck fearful blow at Ameri- |
can liberty. l was one of the men |
who wanted to see Samuel J. Til
den nominated at Cincinnati. Four
years age he was the one great man
we looked to in a great emergency,
and when the fact stares us in the
face that he has done nothing in
these four years to change his posi-
tion, 1t Is no wonder that should
have desired his nomination in
1880. But, though I shall always
honor him, 1 now think 1t was best
that Hancock should be nominated.
1 will always honor Tilden for
what Others coudemn him-for his
refusal to take his seat after he had
been elected to the Presidency. The
Democrats are peaceable, law.abid-
ing people, aud Tllden, in quietly
permitting Hayes to take his seat,
acted in magnificent manner.
Republicans generally admit that
Hayes was not elected, and I wish
here to make an earnest and hon.
0rable appeal to the Republican
party to help us elect Hancock and
see that he takes his seat.
Referring to Garfield, Mr.. Leach
said that he did not know anything
about the De Golyer business, but
as for the Oakes Ames, Credit Mo-
bilier TRANSACTION, there was some.
thing very peculiar in 1t. He was
sorry for one thing. Last year be
told story on Pacheco and he had
since discovered that he meant IL
for Garfield. The story was then
told Of boy in school who was
caught by his teacher eating al
apple, in disObedience of the rules.
The teacher went up to him, asked
If he had eaten an apple, and re-
ceived u negative answer. The
teacher then put his fingers in the
boys mouth aud drew out a large
piece of the apple. The boy looked
at 1t, and asked: "How did 1t get

position in reference to that 1929
