'
Hendricks discredit, but which no agenc,
of ours could control, prevented his nom
nation. 1t was not his fault, nor the fau
of any Of his Indiana friends. But hi
not being nominated has not hurt him il
the least, and he stands to-day higher en-.
throned than ever in the hearts of the PEG
pie, and will undoubtedly stand high il
the confidence Of the next Democratic ad
ministration.
After his name had passed from before
the convention, and not before, was my
name presented for vice-president. How
unanimously it was approved, you all
know, and | am proud to know that it was
most cordially approved by Thomas A.
Hendricks himself.
That Gen. Hancock will be the choice OF
} the people for president have no question
whatever. He will be elected because he
ought to be elected. believe the best in
terests of the country require that he
should be elected. He is man in every
way fitted for the exalted position. He
has a record as pure as the untrodden
snow upon the mountain top. He is a
grand, clear-headed, clean-hearted man; a
brave soldier, great commander, a re-
specter of law and order and civil rights.
You could not be in his presence five min
utes without feeling that here is q man fit
to be the ruler Of great people.
The only charge the Republicans have
made against him is that they imposed a
painful duty upon him, and he performed
it, as it was his sworn duty as an officer to
do. And that is all.
We not only have the right man for the
place, but the time has come when there
ought to be change in the administration.
The Republicans have been in power six
teen years with the approval of the people
and nearly four years under Hayes without
their approval. Twenty years would be
long enough to corrupt any party.
Having been SO nominated, / feel that
the unanimous voice of the representatives
of majority Of the American people is
not voice to be disreearded by any mere
personal considerations.
Therefore choose to say frankly to you,
my neighbors and friends, that when the
nomination is formally rendered expect
to accept it, and / have not one par
ticle Of doubt that shall be
elected. If am, shall attend to pub
lie affairs as zealously as ever attended to
my own, and it will be the aim Of my life
to discharge my duty honestly, faithfully
and to the best of my ability, not as big
oted partisan, but In that broader and bet
ter sense of partisan craftsmanship which
labors always for the right-always tor the
maintenance of the correct principles of
Jacksonian Democracy; always to promote
the happiness and prosperity OF the people.
/ believe that the best way for party or
man to achieve success is To deserve it, and
that she serves his party best who serves
his country best"
For myself, hope the canvss will be con-
Quoted in that decency and order BETTING
an enlightened, law-abidlng, liberty-loving
people. / hope we shall have fair and
honest election, and that the fairly ex-
pressed will Of the people will be faithful
ly carried into execution.
We have no law of entail here which
perpetuates wealth in any family, or power
in any one man, or in any one party. The
great and good men, who formulated our
system of government, and our traditions
were jealous of strong governments and
long leases of power.
A change now could not fail to be bene-
fetal TO the people.
The day General Hancock is elected the
gospel of sectional hate and jealousy, 50
long preached by the demagogues Of the
Republican party, will be forever closed
the hateful bloody shirt will be buried
beyond the power of resurrection, and the
bright and glorious banner of peace and
good will throughout all the land will float
on every breeze.
General Hancock not only ought to be
elected but he will be elected.
Greater harmony exists in the Democratic
party now than has before for quarter OF
of century.
We were badly discouraged and dis
heartened here in 1876, and yet we carried
this state-and that election by over a
quarter of million votes, although we were
cheated out of the fruits Of our victory
Yes, if history records the truth, it will 90
into history and down the stream Of time
to future ages that two Democrats, the
peers of any statesmen in any land, were
fairly elected president and vice president
by the people; that they were cheated out
OF their high offices, and the places were
held for four years by men who were not
the choice Of the people; that the men
who perpetrated this great fraud were in
vast numbers rewarded for their corrupt
and dsgraceful acts with Offices which of
right belonged to other and to better men.
This worst political crime Of the age, this
smirch upon the fair fame of our institu-
tons must forever rest upon the Republi-
can party, and it is the business which the
100000 Democratic voters of the United
States now lave in hand to rebuke The au-
thors of this great fraud, and to make its
repetition at the next election impossible.
You need have no fears that the men you
elect next time will not take their seats.
When they do, you will have pure, eco
nominal, constitutional government, and,
trust, a prosperous and happy people.
