The Republican party was the true party
OF the nation. 1t is the party OF human
freedom and progress. 1t freed the
negroes aud wiped out the foul blot
Of slavery from the proud escutcheon OF
the Republic. Rebellion and q bloody
civil war followed. but the Republican
party rallied around the old tiag. fought
q long and bloody fight. saved the M
ton and preserved the integrity OF the
Union. We are accused Of waving the
bloody shirt. but with the mem.
cries Of what caused that cruel
bloody war before US, and seeing
those causes still agitating and
threatening, We cannot help remember.

blood and died for US and our glorious
country, and We want no moro OF that.
We are accused OF burdening the coun.

the nation. and 10Y they demand that
We give the government into their
hands, that they may control 1t once
more. They have had no cause
to love Union soldier they
have hated Grant and all the
Union Generals and soldiers, but now
they deliberately stultify their record
and party principles by the nomination

enthusiastically. Yet what would Han

Republican party done that 1t should
now be set aside and its honest
merits ignored? The people. mol
