WHY HE is A REPUBLICAN.

Col. Robert Ingersoll gives this ex-
PLANTATION for his opposition to the dem
ocratic party, and his devotion to the
republic: 81 am opposed to the demo-
cratic party, and want to tell you why :.
Every ordinance of secession ever drawn
was done by democrat Every enemy
the republic has had for twenty-five
years was democrat. Every man that
starved Union soldiers, refusing them a
crust in the extremity of death was
democrat. The man that assassinated
Abraham Lincoln was democrat.
Every man that sympathized with the
assassin-every man that was glad that
the noblest President ever elected was
dead, was democrat. Every man that
wanted the privilege of whipping ano-
ther man to make him work for moth
ing, and pay him with lashes on his
naked back, was democrat. Every
man that raised bloodhounds to pursue
human beings was democrat. Every
man that clutched babies from the
breasts of shrieking. shudderiDg, crouch
ing mothers and sold them into slavery
was democrat. Every man that i'm
paired the credit of the United States
was democrat. Every man that swore
he never would pay the bonds. every
man that swore he never would redeem
greenbacks, every maligner of his coun-
try's credit, calumniator ofhis country's
honor was democrat. Every man that
resisted the draft, every man that hid
in the bushes and shot at Union men,
simply because they were endeavoring
to enforce the laws of their country, was
democrat. Every man that cursed
Lincoln because he issued the emanci-
patton proclamation was a democrat.
Every man who believed that a state
could 90 out of the Union at its pleas
ure, every man who believed that the
grand fabric of American government
could be made to crumble instantly in
to dust at the touch of treason, was a
democrat. Every man that helped to
burn orphan asylums in the city of New
York was dcmocrat-although he
knew that thousands would perish, and
that the great serpents of flame. leaping
from one building to another, would
clutch children from their mothers arm
every wretch that did it was demo-
crat. Recollect it Every man that
tried to spread small pox and yellow
fever in the north was democrat.
Soldiers, every scar that you have on
your heroic bodies was given you by a
democrat. am a republican.

1emale orator arose and began: ''This is

for Hancock.
Jeff. Davis says if he had vote he
would cast it for Hancock.
Beauregard, who fred the first gun at
the flag of his country at Fort Sumter,
and now writes to New Orleans paper
that he ''does not repent it because his
conscience does not reproach him foc
it, will vote for Hancock.
Samuel J. Tilden, politician SO in
famously and notoriously corrupt and
unprincipled that even his own party
dared not, could not and would not re-
nominate him and vote for Hancock.
Now. there they are, young man, just
few of them. If you like the crowd
go into it. If you want the friends who
now respect you and the people whose
respect you wish to retain if you want
your old father who is proud of you,
and looks to you to perpetuate the
family name and honor; if you want
your mother, who sees in you the best
and dearest and manifest of sons; if you
want your sweetheart or wife, who has
made you her ideal of all that is noble
and true, the very soul of honor, the
perfection of honest manhood and spot
less integrity; if you want all these
friends who think and believe you to be
pure and exalted In life and sentiment;
if you want them 20 see you marching
up to the polls with that mob, thinking
as this motley array of Union haters and
negro shooters think, voting as they
vote. applauding what they endorse and
making your sentiments, your aspira-
tions, your hopes and wishes, your plans
gnd your ambitions, your motives and
your actions, identical with theirs, why,
it's free country, 60 up with them and
be one of them, and then come back and
hate yourself to death. .s.,f,
Go with that crowd if you will. but
take warm bath before you come back
to your family. Fumigate yourself be-
fore you come into the house. For
decency's sake, in the name of manly
purity, have the virtue to be ashamed
of yourself.
But if you don't like the crowd, and
we earnestly hope and believe you don't,
keep out of it and keep away from it.
Be 5talwart. Be radical in everything.
March up to the polls under the futter-
ing. ragged battle flags your fathers and
brothers carried for the Union when
these other fellows were shooting at
them. Go to the polls in company with
the son of Abraham Lincoln. rather
than arm in arm with Barksdale of
Yazoo. Walk beside the son of Stephen
A. Douglas, rather than Currie of Texas.
Go to the polls with Grant, rather than
Pemberton, both for the honor of the
thing and the certainty of victory. Walk
beside such men as John g. Whittier,
rather than the masked night rider who
helps to hang and shoot Republicanism
out of Mississippi. Go to the polls with
decent, honost men. 1t is for you to
make your own choice. And let US i'm
plore you to so choose that you will
never have reason to be ashamed of the
; company with which you cast your first

SOMETHING FOR
YOUNG MEN.

Young man, you may have heard
there is going to be an election in this
country pretty soon. 1t may be that
you have never before voted for Presi-
dent. In that case, 1t is time for you
to be making up your mind how you
will vote this fall, and with which par
ty will work in the meantime. Which
is it, Garfield or Hancock ? Will you be
radical or conservative ? Radicalism is
progress, conservatism is standing still,
and standing still in this age is going
backward. Radicalism moves on the
highway, abreast of the times, keeps
pace with the railroad, the telegraph,
the telephone, the steamship. Conser-
vatism sits in the graveyard, dwelling
among the tombs and mourning over
the good old times. Choose you be-
tween the two. And if you choose to
60 with the Democracy and vote for
Hancock, let us see what kind of COM
pany you will have. on your way to the
polls:
The man who murdered Gen. McCook
will vote for Hancock.
Every man who rejoiced at the assas-
sination of Lincoln will vote for Han
cock.
Every man that ever put on Kuk-
lux mask and assisted in dragging an
old negro out of his bed at midnight
and hanging him, will vote for Hancock.
The brigands who rode after Guam
trell into Lawrence, Kansas, and sack
ed the town and murdered the inhabi-
tanss, will vote for Hancock.
Every swindling scoundrel that is
running moonlight still, and defraud.
ing the government and shooting the
revenue officials in the mountains Of
Tennessee, will vote for Hancock.
The murderers of Judge Chisholm
and his daughter are still at large, and
will vote for Hancock.
Alexander H. Stephens, late Vice
President of the so-called Southern Con
federacy, says he was the "original
Hancock man." and will vote for him.
Wade Hampton. who, in 1868, pub
licly and repeatedly urged the socia
ostracism of Republican employment ol
trade at store kept by Republican
has taken the field for Hancock.
Gen. Butler of South Carolina, tht
Hamburger butcher will vote for Han
cock.
VIM. H. Barnum of Connecticut, tn,
we'll known "mule dealer" will vote fol
Hancock.
! The sentinels who stood guard arounc
the Union prisoners at Andersonville
and shot dead the starving soldier of th,
Union, your neighbor, your friend. you
brother, as he staggered across the deat
line, will vote for Hancock.
The man who shot Gen. McPhersol
will vote for Hancock.
Barksdale, the Yazoo county murder
er who killed Dixon because he wante'
to run for tie same Office, has declare
for Hancock.

BEER MAKES FAT.

Yes, it does, but what sort of fat?
Look at piece of suet That is the
kind of fat beer makes. 1t is not mus
Gle, nor bone, nor nerve, nor sinew. It
will not make you strong nor help you
work.
Beer makes the circulation sluggish,
so that the waste matter of the system
is not promptly carried off. It is tuck
ed away in the corners between the
muscles as fat, and it stuffs out the skin
and makes the drinker look plump, and
he says: "See how fat am !! This beer
is doing me good
The man is deceived. This fat is not
like the plumpness of youth, which
comes of good blood and the healthy
juices of the system. Instead of that it
is waste, dead matter which interferes
with the play of the muscles and with
all the vital action. The beer-drinking
Germans in our late war, did not do SO
much, nor hold out so long as the 1.-THE,
active water-drinking Yankee.
1t is part of the duty of the liver
to cleanse the blood. Beer makes SC
much bad blood that the liver is over
taxed, becomes diseased, and often grows
very large, weighing ten, fifteen, TWEEN.

seen some Drinkers that look like
walking beer-barrels. This beer Liver
is by far the most frequent cause of thi;
pitiful deformity.
"But beer is good for nursing moth
ers."
"Well, what does it do for them
Perhaps it never has occurred to yo,
that the swill-milk which does the chill

brewery slops. The beer is still wors
than the slops, and will produce no bet
