uhph' III is especially great. We have
overcome not only the voters
that opposed us in politics,
but We have overcome the influence and
the power of the largest official organi-
cation almost ever known in the
world. A hundred and twenty
regiments of office holders have
been in the field in this
political contest, and they, too,
have rot been sufficient to carry the
day in favor of their party.
rejoice with you, my country
men Of Brooklyn, because a
party has come into power at last i'm IA

with you that there has been

the Democratic party has suffered oniSy
defeat, and after that long pc
Rod of constant defeat it has
achieved the greatest battle of its exis-
fence. Cheers. such party cannot
be otherwise than useful to
the country, so devoted to what it be.
iieves to be right and true, and cannat
fail to be OF service to this great
country in the future. And NV
countrymen, TO you, mon of Brooklyn,
10 is consideration Of great
Importance that the responsibility rests
largely upon you, AS well as on
us IN the west, that this
party shall bear Itself in its
period Of triumph and success whether
II shall be as grand in the day OF success
as 1t has been patient
the hours of defeat. Great CheeringI.
1T Is to me a source Of the
greatest pleasure to meet you, my fellow
citizens OF Brooklyn, who, like Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts have followed the
teachings Of Thomas Jefferson and tho
great Democratic party. But / am also
sorry that after the result an attempt
has been made to iniuse into the
minds OF
THE COLoRED VOTERS,
that the success of the Democratic party
meant the destruction of the rights and
privileges of our colored voters.
Ihis is a great wrong, my fellow
AS free and Independent
voter, the colored voter entered the
Democratic ranks, and as free and in
dependent voter he will re-
main under tho broad ban
ner and principles. We have
been for nearly the last quarter OF cen.
tury suffering with great patience the re-
bulfs Of the party in power with
the statement that we were not fiji To
be trusted, but on the 4th day of this
month millions of our fell
low countrymen have declared we are
to be trusted. The name that they who
we're our opponents delighted to call us
the "0ld Bourbon party! Ave,
accept tho name, it was French
name given to that race who fought for
right. | thank the independent Repub.
lican party, and TO those OF the minis
try, of the bar and OF tho
other great professions who have stood
by our side in tho hour of
trial. I knew year after wear
that truth Is mighty and must prevail.
Yes, the truth has prevailed. will
again repeat lit has prevailed. The
people of the United States have taken
up the great question of reform in
all and every department. 1t does
not mean that the change has
taken place, or mean tho destruction Of
our institutions, or n change
in the administration OF
the government. Yes, there will
DO change, but no destruction. When
the Democratic party took hold
of Cleveland and Hendricks it.
was liken0d unto the cry
Of the travelerY on the sledgo, who was
followed by the wolves, but Cleveland
and Hendricks came ont of the baltic
better than the traveller. | am
ashamed TO say that the canpairn
just closed was certainly the most ro-
marknble | ever took part in for
calumny and falsehood. But | knew
when | heard all this getting round
that IL would not avail,
md / did not 20 out of
my way to say lust ono
word, but just let ma tors take their
c lurse in Indiana, aud SO it camo out
all right. So | do not wish to
speak in terms of disparagement
ut those who must feet the pangs of de.
feat, but | will ask the Republican
party who gave them the authority
TO sit in judgment on the
party of tho people and say that it was
not safe to Trust the government into
our hands This, my fellow-citizens,
has been answered by the voice Of ina
people of the Empire state, aa we'll IA the
other states, I'm no m.stskahle
terms Lot us be as patient now in the
hour of triumph Az we have been
IN the long years of trial. We.

future of this great country. Yes,
and we accept tho great re-
sponsibility that will brine
