swer to any man who was afraid of the verdict
of the people being unfavorable to the Republ-
cans in the present campaign. This answer
would be conclusive, but that the Democratic
party considers that it owns, without anv con-
sideration of their material interests or the de-
sires of the constituency, 1873 solid electoral
votes; "and," the speaker added, of this 1885,

what would happen if Hancock were elected, he
gave as one evil result the revolution in the

those Judges are to-day beyond 10, or in that
neighborhood. They may accept retirement at
full pay. If they are reluctant to do so, a
Democratic President, backed by Democratic
Senate and House, would swamp shat court by
superior numbers, and, by way of advice to the
North, let me say that a bill is pend
ing on the calendar of the Senate to make
that court consist of twenty members. 'Well,'
says my inquiring friend, what of that?
Suppose the court itself does become Demo-
cratic? If you have honest Judges it can make
no difference about their politics No. but
when you come to that great class of political
cases, In which are points relative to unfolding

the Democrats after 1884, bent all their ener
gies to building up Supreme Court that would
uphold the State-rights theory, and the first
fruit of it was the bred Scott decision, of
1857, IN which slavery was made national. Do
not believe for one moment that you intrust
the Supreme Court to such men, though they
are honest men. | may say their honesty is
the trouble. They believe in these doctrines
and it is this which makes them so powerful
for mischief" He said that by fraud and
violence the White Democrats of the South had
prevented the black Republicans from voting,
and further, had, by enumerating them in the
basis of representation, made one white mans
vote in the South as good as two in the North.
In Mississippi the votes of four men for Han
cock went as far toward the choice of President
as the votes of nine men in Ohio for Garfield.
He alluded to the census frauds, and said that
Lincoln was roundly abused twenty years
ago for saying this country could not be per-
petuated half slave and half free. He was
now willing to say that our republic cannot be
perpetuated with these gigantic and systematic
frauds engrafted upon our institutions. 1t had
taken 800 years to educate the Anglo-Saxon race
up to position where they could submit to
majority of one or two, and it was the only
race that will do it to-day. We have been edu-
Gated to believe in the doctrine that majority of
one is just as strong as a majority of million
and l say there is not enough strength in the
allied armies of Europe nor wealth enough in
the allied treasures of the world to make us sub
NIT to fraudulent minority. If that be radi-
CAL make the most of it. The speaker reviewed
the record of the two parties in the past twenty
years in regard to the tariff and equal political
rights denounced the interference of English
clubs and associations in our affairs by sending
free-trade tracts over here for circulation, say
ing that he thought President Hayes would be
justified in instructing Secretary Evarts to pro-
test against such fragrant breach of interna-
tonal courtesy. Referring to Maine he said if
she had not set the country good example she
had given them terrible warning. He ascribed
the result there to the liberal use of money in
corrupt ways by the Fusionists. He warned
his hearers to be on their guard for the same
conduct of the campaign here. He closed with
warm eulogy of Gen. Garfield, and an elo-
quent review of the past achievements of the
Republican party.
