to the name OF your state, through four years
of bloody war. can be used to call into the adj
ministration of the government the men who
organized the great rebellion. In the senate
of the United States the Democratic party
has thirty-seven members, of which number
thirty-two come from the south. Of the
strength in the house Of representatives, the
majority comes from the south, and now the
intention is, with an absolutely solidified
vote from the south, added to the votes of the
two states l have named, toseize the govern
ment OF the Union. The means that as the
south furnishes three-fourths of the
Democratic strength, it will be
given the lead and control
of the nation in the event of a Democratic
triumph. It means that the past financial
and industrial system of the country shall be
placed under the direction of the south; that
our currency. our banks, our tariff cur in
ternal revenue laws-in short that our whole
system, upon which the country depends,
shall be placed under the control Of that sec
ton. 1t means that the constitutional
amendments, to which they are so bitterly
opposed, shall be enforced only so far as
they believe in them. That the national
faith, as guaranteed in the fourteenth
amendment, that the payment of pensions
in the same amendment, shall be under their
control; and what that control might
mean can be measured by tie
bitterness with which those amendments
were resisted by the Democrats of the south.
There is not one measure of banking, of
tariff, of finance, OF public credit, of pen
sions, not one line of administration upon
which the government is conducted to-day,
to which the Democrats of the south are not
recorded as hostile, and TO give them control
would mean . change the Ike of
which has not been known in
modern times. It would be as if
the dead Stuarts were recalled to the throne
of England, as if the Bourbons should be in
vested to administer the government of the
French republic, as though the FIorentine
dukes should be called back and empowered
to govern the great kingdom of Italy. Such
a triumph would be a fearful misfortune to
the south itself That section, under the
wise administration of the government by
the Republican party, has been steadily and
rapidly gaining for the past ten years in
all the elements of material pros
perity. 1t has added enormously to
its wealth since the close of the war
and has shared fully in the general advance
of the country. To call that section now to
the Tulership OF the nation would disturb its
own social and political economy, would re-
kindle the smouldering passions, and organ
iZe an administration Of resentment, of
reprprisal, and Of revenge.
! It would come as reaction
against the progress of liberal principles in
that section, progress so rapid that the Re-
pubBcans are waging earnest contests in
those states whose interests are most dem
onstrably identified with the policy of pro-
lection again st the baneful spectacle of
solid south. l am sure that Indiana will
protest and on the whole will conclude to
stand where she has stood in the
past. believe that yon will stand where
you stood in the war: that you will stand for
the principles and the policies which have
made your state bloom and blossom as the
rose, and which have made the American
republic in manufacture and agriculture the
trading nation Of the world not merely In a
material sense, but in a moral philanthropic
sense. A country in which every
man has as good a chance as every
other man, and which among other great
| gifts, bestows absolutely free suffrage. You
enjoy that suffrage, and on the fourth day
Of November next you are 10 say for which
party, for which policy, you are to cast your
votes. Not one personally. No, I'm not
| speaking for myself. No Insz ever met
with a misfortune in being defeated for the
| presidency, while men have met great mis-
! fortunes in being elected. | am plead
ing no personal cause, / am pleading the cause
| Of the American people. / am pleading
the cause of the American farmer and the
American manufacturer, and the American
mechanic and the American laborer again st
the world. | am reproached by some excel
lent people for appearing before these null
titudes of my countrymen, upon the ground
that it is inconsistent with the dignity OF the
Office for which am named. l do not feel
il to be so. There is not courtier in Europe
so proud but that he is glad to uncover his
head in the presence of his sovereign. So 1
uncover in the presence OF the only earthly
sovereignty acknowledge, and bow with
| pride to the free people of America.
