nature, aud more than that, don't you
know that as they came over they
would gradually push the honest men
on this side back and back until they
would
TAKE CONTROL
of the dominant party themselves ?
To n very large extent that would
prove tn be the human nature OF the
case. Without discussing the question
as to whether the Republican party
has been guilty of great fraud, for |
leave that 10 your own reflection,
assume the ground that no party
ought to remain i'm power that has
been In power exclusively not allow
ing the other party to participate 10
the affairs OF the government for n
long period OF time. Then there
OUGHT no DE A CHANGE
that people may come to
know with some degree of certainty
how 10 Is with their affairs Cries %
1--WE will have IL this fallpl I do not
expect, gentlemen, that all men In
office will be turned out, / don't de-
sire that when Republican, gov
erned 10y his conscious convictions,
has been I'm Office and proven
himself TO be true and honest
man i'm the administration of that
Office, | do ask that he shall be turned
out. But ask that honest men shall
be placed in office sufficiently numer-
Gus TO give the people OF this country
information In
REGARD TO THEIR AFFAIRS.
] have one step further To go In
this argument. i am trying To
establish the proposition that there
ought now to be change. / don't
kno why the Republicans for tbelast
nineteen years have said 10 every Dem
ocrat: you shall have no position in
connection with the affairs Of the gov
eminent They have seen III TO occupy
that position as a proscrlptive
policy excluding every man that did
not agree with them, and what do you
think Of 1t, my countrymen?
SHALL 1T BE CONTINUED
any longer? Cries of NO" To
what condition have we Gomez / re-
fer TO the statement made by Mr..
Calkins, the Republican candidate for
governor, In his speech at Richmond
few weeks ago. He said we now
have $500 000, 900 In the treasury. Do
you know how he came 10 say that?
He said that by way of brggadocio, as
tauDt TO Democrats. He said that
the Republican party, when IL came
into power, found an empty
/ treasury, and now II has 800, 1000, 900
DO you want to hear me express my
/ OPINION OF what Ii a fortunate condi-
/ ton OF the country? Well, IL Is not IN
I having treasury OVERLOOKING. 1t II
not in collecting from the people I'M
/ told millions, that IL may be hid away
1 In the vaults Of the treasury. And az
/ Washington to-day they are
DIGGING NEW VAULTS,
I adding 10 the old vaults 20 as TO find
room for putting away the peoples
currency. The Republicans have
/ now In the treasury $500 600, 900 and
/ that, gentlemen, is more than half Of
the paper currency In the country.
! the paper currency Of the country Is
about 500, 000, 900 and Of that currency
/ of the country there Is locked In the
treasury Si00,0O0,0O0.
DO YOU DESIRE THAT?
! II 30, vote for Mr.. Calkins, vote for
the Republican candidate for presi-
7 dent, Tor they boaet 10 you that they
have locked. up 300 100000 OF your
money. What right has the govern
meat TO 500, 900. 600 of
THE PEOPLES MONEY
that IL has no occasion 10 use In the adj
ministration OF It's affairs? What
would be the effect II taxes were re-
duced SO that the money would come
back into your pockets and into the
channels OF trade? Don't you know II
would stimulate enterprise Don't
you know that II would give employ
mentto the laboTen?
Shall / stop now and speak Of the
present conditions over the country
four years ago, when you knew II wal
