The speaker passed from state issues
by stating that he had been requested to
speak mainly on national questions, of
which he could make but IA brief sketch.
lie showed that IL was the destiny ofthe
Republic to Toe always governed hV
party; that IL was one OF the evils incl
dent to Republican government; that i'm
the beginning there were two great
parties and there are two parties now.
Party names have been changed, various
banners have been haunted and
trailed in the dust. Tie second law
passed 10y the national congress was
law providing for tariff, but he de-
clnled to discuss The tariff question but
briefly on account of want of time, and
from the further fact that the most elo-
quent exponent Of the democratic theory
of the tariff in the south
was living in this city, our
| honored congressman, Olin Wellborn,
who would doubtless address the peo-
pie at this city on ,ha. question before
the close of the campaign.
The other great issue between the par
I lies was the question Of The rights of
th2stdtes. | am Of those who admit
I that certain questions We're fully SET
( tied by the great civil contest. The
doctrine Of sece, sion, tried by the hayo-
net, bows 20 the verdict of The cmpirage

exponent he was he r6ioiced that to-

/ l.. j. Davis when defeated by over
/ 10000 majority, refused to give up pos
session Of the state house until forced
from there by the Democratic officials.
! That under the Republican admiustra-
! ton IN litS state, in n time of great
financial pressure, about ~ 7Cu.btO was
taken from the people To educate $1,000
about five months III the year, while the
/ Democratic party only required
about S2,00l,0o0 10 give 100000 children
public schools about six months in tho
year. In other words, while public edu-
cation, under Republican admiui~tra-
ton, cost each child in the state then
abOu. 81 for five months scho ling, the
Democratic party gave them six months
schooling FOR about $3.50 per head.
The speaker then passed in re-
Wow various questions appertain-
ing to tho federal government
and particularly dwelt upon the loyalty
of the Democratic party To its citizens
Of foreign birth.
He said that when Democracy was
in power it was our preudest boast
thar the rights of any citizen, however
humble, should he protected 90 the full
