shall not be able TO make many Of you
hear; but after me comes the speaker
whom | know you will all be glad to
hear, and you can do so by keeping
quiet and orderly. Not being accus-
toned to speaking publicly, l have
drawn of few words that 1 will say in
advance Of the gentleman who is to fol-
low me-" Taking a roll Of manuscript
from his pocket the general read:
In view Of the known character and
ability Of the speaker who is to address
you to-day and his long public career
and association with the leading states
men Of the ceuntry,it would not be be-
coming In me TO detain you with many
remarks Of my own, but 1t may be pro-
per for me TO account to you, on the
first occasion OF my presiding at n politi-
cal meeting, for the faith that is in me.
lama republican as the two great
political parties are now divided, be-
cause the republican party is a national
party seeking the greatest good OF the
greatest number Of its citizens. There
Is not precinct in this nation where
the democrat cannot cast his ballot and
have II counted rs cast, no matter what
The predomenance Of the opposite party.
He can proclaim his political opinions,
even II he is the only one among q
thousand, without fear and without
prescription on account OF his opinion.
There are fourteen states and locations
in some others where the republicans
have not this privilege. This is one
reason why am republican, but l am
arepublican for many other reasons.
The republican party assures protection
70 life, property, public credit and pay
ment Of the debts Of the government,
state, county or municipality so far as
Il can control. The democratic party
does not promise this, II 1t does 1t has
broken its promise to the extent OF
hundreds Of millions, as many northern
democrats can testify to their SORROW.
am u republican, as between the exist
ing parties, because 1t fosters the pro-
duction Of the field and farm and OF
manufactures, and 1t encourages the
general education Of the poor rs well rs
the rich. The democratic party dis.
couraged all these when i'm absolute
power. The republican party is party
OF progress and Of liberality toward Its
opponents. It encourages the poor to
strive TO better their condition; the
ignorent To educate their children to
enable them to compete successfully
with their more fortunate associates,
and In fact 1t secures an entire equality
oeiore the law Of every citizen, no mat
YER what his race, nationality or previ-
o@condition. 1t tolerates privileges,
eiass; everyone has the opportunity tc
mako himself all he is capable Of.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe
'ni' can be truthfully said in the
greater part Of the fourteen states Of
tnis union to-day, which the democratic
party control absolutelyp The repub
iican party Is q part Of the principle,
prevailing wherever 1t has a foothold
The democratic party is united in bu,
one thing. and that is In getting contro
