FRANK GANAHL AT DENVER.
Some Eloquent Passagss--Tribute to Hancocl
We have already referred to tn
splendid speech delivered by Majo
Frank Ganahl at the WigwAm, q
Denver, Colorado, on the night
September 7th. Our readers will
undoubtedly be glad to hear from
this old Los Angeles fayorite. H
has evidently lost none Of the vim
and eloquence W hich characterized
him of old. We quote from thu
Denver Daily News:
One of Lincoln's great campaign
points was the extravaganza Of Blu
chanan's administration, yet Bu'
chanan's last year cost only sixty
five millions against one hundred
and seventy-five millions spent
during GRANTS last year. Under
Grant, Robeson spent in one veal
thirty millions on the navy, which
was more than the entire annual
expense of Polk's administration,
even with the Mexican war on its
hands. Yet we are without navy,
without ship on which q sailor
would dare to tread, as Admiral
Porter testifies.
Major Ganahl then made and
dwelt upon the point that the peace
rule OF the Republican party has
cost more than the war did. Cha.
teaubriand, the philosophical his.
torian of France, when asked the
cause Of his country's desolation,
said 1t was due to twenty years Of
war and the genius of one man. In
the wreck which the Republican
party made from its assault Oh
Andy johnson up to Hayes, the
fraud, it wasted the
revenue in thousand jobs, 1t bred
all over the land, in.
voked the panic and universal
bankruptcy, and gave away mora
land than Napoleon ever floated
his eagles over, or than imperial
France ever dreamed of foonquering.
Enthusiastic applause. The war
losses are easy to calculate, but the
the gigantic mathematical INTEL
|ect of Newton could not estimate
The countless millions Republican
rule had squandered since peace
iawned on a restored Union.
The latest act Of Republican infa.
my is the bayonet law for suppress
ng a free ballot, which gives Su.
pervisors a supreme and tyrannical
power of arrest. Under it In Phil.
sdelphia 1853 deputy marshals were
aired at five dollars day for ten
lays and arrested 1000 foreigners
md turned them loose without a
rial after the election. In New
York 1900 deputies collected into q
black hole like that OF Calcutta,
800 foreigners and turned them
oOse after the election. The OBJ.
ect of preventing them from vot.
ng was accomplished. They were
egal voters, and had no remedy
or the outrage. This power is
more dangerous to the country
han was the rebellion itself.
