/ the Democratic party. How does it read
. to your eyes? Who is here Democrat
: tonight that will stand up and say that
he believes now in what the party has
! protested TO believe from time TO time iu
j the past2 .......
Now, in contrast with this, unroll the
J Republican scroll. II blazes all over in
letters OF living light with glorious senti-
ments and still more glorious deeds. OPP
posed 10 the extension OF human slavery
into any Territory OF the United States.
Who will go back on that principle OF
1902 No one. Opposed 10 the wicked
bred, Scott decision, that negro has no
rights thata white man is bound 10 re-
sPect. Who would now deny his oppo-
Eition to that decree2 No one. Opposed
TO notification, secession and rebellion.
Who goes back on this grand feature Of
the Republican record? Ne one. In
favor Of free speech and a free ballot
wherever the flag OF the Union floats.
Who denies the faith in this respect2 No
one.
No, fellow.citizens, the Republican
party has record that will live on the
brightest pages Of our history. It is the
record not only Of principles but OF princi-
pie. It Is the party Of American honor,
American unity, American nationality
and American industry.
EXPLOITATION TO YOUNG MEN.
There are no doubt many young men in
this great audience who on the second
Tuesday OF October will cast their frat
ballot. Let me say word to them. Don't,
my young friends, make mistake as to
where you pitch your tents. It is seri-
Gus thing TO make great mistake in your
political principles. Don't pitch your
tents in graveyard OF repudiated, dis
honored and buried ideas. Don't go
among the tombs OF the Democratic party
for congenial standpoint. Read the in.
sohption on those tombs before you make
your decision. See that black monument
there-black marketable in all It's out |
lines-and read these words: Sacred TO |
human slavery, loved and cherished by |
the Democratic party in its life and |
mourned and lamented in Its DEATH" See |
the shackles OF four millions OF human |
beings lying around the base OF that
monument, struck off their limbs by the |
Republican party and placed around that
monument TO warn all young men against
pitching their tents on such unhallowed
ground. See that other monument-that
sulphurous monument close by-and on 1t
read these awful words: SACRED to se-
cession and rebellion, inaugurated by the
Democratic party TO dismember the
American Union and destroy free govern
Ment on this continent" Around 1t you
will see the bones OF the flower ard youth
OF eleven millions OF Southern people,
who were induced by the Democratic par
ty to embark in the destruction OF the
government, in order that this great land
might become slave empire. The air Is
miasmatic in this graveyard. The ground
sounds hollow and trea0herous Keep
away from it. Don't, my young friends,
pitch your tent in such a Golgotha as
that. Pitch your tent in that field OF living
green over thereon that healthy, well
watered, we'll aired and clean lawn. where
the grand army OF men who followed the
flag and saved the Union, have pitched
their tents. Make your home there and
you will never regret it.
Fellow.citizens OF IEtnaville, thank
you for this magnificent reception-ior the
great patience with which you have Lis.
tened TO me. Ga the Second Tuesday OF

give one day TO the country, and one OF
the grandest victories ever achieved at the
ballot box will be yours.
Loud and prolonged cheers followed
the conclusion Of Gen. Garaeld's speech.
