1t is getting late and do not propose %
detsin you very long, but will try .Dd give
q few reasons, why it is best that yoa
should vote the democratic ticket
There is no distinctive feature in the
Preenback party aside from FIAT money.
All that they seek to attain can Be accom-
plished through the agency Of the demo-
cratic party. If Capt. AlldTedge IL in
earnest, he ought to be back in the ranka
of the d. mocratic parry where he was sew
eral years ago. A man Who gees to the
polls and votes the greenback ticket trit-
tiers away the dearest right of IN Ameri-
can citizen.
The republican party is . great party,
and has achieved . great deal Of good,
but other parties could have accomplished
as much and perhaps more. The greatest
argument against tie republican party il
its tendency To . centralized government.
IL il the lineal descendant of the old fed
eral party led by Alexander Hamilton, Az
aristocrat. During the late war these ten
denotes came very strongly to the front, -
was shown in their theory OF disfranchise-
ment. After fighting for four years to
show that the Union is indissOluble, they
declared the southern states out OF the
Union. A republican congress forced upon
the people the
HATED POLICY OF RECONSTRUCTION,
founded upon the principles Of eternal
hate. The speaker further arraigned the
republican party for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OF the government. He said the democratic
party always held that the public dom@in
was for the benefit of actual settlers, while
the republican party had given away mil
lions Of acres to mOnoPOlies. This was an
other tendency towards centralized gov
eminent.
! The financial question was discussed 1t
considerable length, and the greenbackers
handled without gloves.
Gen. Grant was severely. censured for
attempting to overturn the hcnored tradi-
tiOns Of the government, which had been
handed down by Washington, in seeking
q third term. President Arthur did not
entirely escape censure, being referred to a.
the empty headed, ladadah executive.
After referring briefly to the bloody shirt
policy Of the republican party, and thank
ing those present for the welcome extended
himself and Col. COsgrove, Col. More re-
tired amidst loud and long continued aP-
plause.
