spoke as follows:
Mir. Chairman and fciiow-citi2cns OF
Illinois: am somewhat travel worn
by my circuitOus route from the cher
ished capitol of our nation to my native
State and beloved home. The love for
home associations is deeply imbedded
in our hearts. 1t was
on this my native soil that my boyish
pride was encouraged up to the ordinary
ambitions OF manhood. II have served
or can serve my constituency fairly and
well in the advancement OF their inter
est, my fondest aspirations and hopes
will have ripened into most cherished.
reality. My fellow citizens and irienus.
my heart beats in harmony with yours
in all that pertains to our common
humanity and TO our common citizen

public life, to devote all my energies TO
The interest Of our whole people, and to
look for my reward in the consciousness
that ! had kept the faith. ! shall ever
remember this great evidence
Of rcspect, with heart Overlooking
with graft 'dc. ! return to You, my
friends and ''gliow-citiZens, my thanks
for this grand demonstration, and as it
means much more than merely to he
accepted as personal to myself, but 10
the great principles which have been
chosen, in connection with one Of our
greatest and most brilliant American
statesmen, i'll part to represent 1t; there
fore, | deem it proper 1T this time to
examine some OF the questions that
divide the two great parties Of this coun-
try. Tho Democratic party controlled
this Government, with only few inter
walls, from 1897 to 1851, and during those
twenty -four years there was only one
important measure enacted in accord
with its financial policy, now
remaining on statute books viz: the in
dependent treasury system. Its iinan-
cial policies in all other respects have
failed and have been abandoned by the
country. The doctrines of State
sovereignty, by which the nation was t.
be subordnatcd to the individual States
is now repudiated by the people. Under
this doctrine the Southern half Of tht
Democracy entered into u giganti,
rebellion against the government
While majority Of the Democrats o
the North We're loyal TO the government
Il great many of their organization
sympathi2cd with the South. IN lHdr
when the democrats lost control Of the
government they left it tinanciai.l
wrecked, the people disheartcned ano
the country almost in ruins
II heir financial ideas and tariff policy
had brought the nation to its loves
level, without credit and almost with
out nope for the future. If we may
Judge them by their record up to that
time, there is no ground for the belief
that if they could now so manage thj
affairs of the Republic as to meet tle
present demand of the people.
The speaker then went on to declare
that the Democratic party had resisted
every advance in finance and every
measure touching the security OF hui
man rights. 1t has opposed the eman'
cipation of the slaves and the home
stead laws. 1t had left the doe
