Wallace's Speech

Senator Wallace delivered rattlins
speech at Noristown last week, to
large audience. lie spoke rs follows:
1t is fitting that here, in the home o
General Hancock, the campaign, whicl
we hope aud believe is to result in bring
ing his native State to the Democracy
should be inaugurated Applause. Th,
real and vital issue in this campaign i,
the question of unonism rs against see
tionalism; the question is whether til,
Union is TO be restored and parpetuated
or whether scctionalsm and disunon i,
to continue 60 exist. Applause The
Republican party as party has prac
tically ignored the eXisistence of Fed
cral Union by its appeals to its own vo
tcrs of the North to sustafa that party
in the bitter attacks upon tee people OF
the South and they have forgotten and
ignored that broad spirit Gt unionism
that reaches ont and covGrs the whole
country in its grasp. Applause. AS 4
people it is time for us to return to ques
tions graver and more important for the
whole people than those of hate, of see
tionaliSm and disunion. The questions
that really concern us as II people relate
to our returning prosperity, to our pro
gress as Il nation and to the elevation OF
our people intellectually and ia business
sense. Applause.
TIE REPUBLICAN IDEA.
The campaign of the Republican or
ganization is inaugurated upon the old
sectional issues Hate il their aninai
ing idea. Applause Their party poll
cy commands them to forsakc their old
party associates South, and they unhesi
tatingly obey. They would be unable to
point to n solid South to talk of south
ern outrages, to falsfy the record and
preach Il gospel of hate if they would
admit and recognize the fact that it was
possible Tor them to carry a Southern
State for the Republican organization.
This fact they make the basis of their
party policy, and they utterly abandon
their party associates South. In Ala
! bama they seek the cover of the Green
hacker and fight .beneath his BANNER.
| Applause. In Virginia they properly
cover themselves beneath the banner OF
reputation and readjustmcnt. and prac-
tlcally ignore the teachings that belong
to great people-the national credit
and State faith. They clamor they have
no votes in the South; they do not want
them, for if they had them their voca-
tlon would he gone and Their teachings
would be idle. They would no longer
be able TO appeal to the bitter passions
OF the North. II the Southern outrages
thcy rant and the inability to vote they
preach be true the responsibilities upon
them ana not upon US; Tor they have
had chllre control OF the government
Tor hiteen years and have utterly failed
/" restore 'he thlon. Applause. They
