KoHLER's SPEECH.
Ladies and Gentlemen and feilop Dem

the prodigal son. / will explain. /
came to this country, landing in New
York thirty -four years ago. On my cer-
arrival inquired Of some of my
countrymen who had preceded me
what party 1t was best to affiliate with
when I became citizen. They told me
the Wings wanted me to stay here
twenty-ene years before we could be-
come citizens; that the Democrats
when at once became
Democrat in my sympathies before l
was entitled to vote, and although l
could not vote at the Pierce election,
won hat on his elevation to the
Presidential chair. Having left .
country where there were several small
governments, we thought . good strong
free government was the best and when
the war broke out we affiliated with the
Union, now the Republican party. We
soon got tired Of the false pledges Of the
Republican party after the war was over
and now, like the Prodigal son, are
within our fathers house. The people
Of the old country were once like man
with tight boots. The country was too
pressing for them, when they came to
this country to relieve their corns and
get more room. The party who landed
on Plymouth rock did well for time,
but like the negro slsve-driver, made the
hardest kind OF masters as they got
power. With them it became the case
OF the tight boots, again with the people,
which drove people out Of that country
| to the West and South. New York set
| tied by the Germans, Louisiana and the
lower Mississippi by the French, and
everything went smooth until the New
England men began to push their fanati-
| cal ideas on the people.

by herself with all her bigotry for a
hundred years, the last one Of them
would be in Barnum's hands for exhibit
ton. The Republican party is in favor
Of tariff for protection, but they did not
give it to lis. They promised before
the last election to project the wine

they did all their other pledges.
Their last years administration was
worse than any that preceded it. Two
years ago the Democracy of this Sta g
passed a repeal of the puritanical law
that would not allow . man to go to a
picnic ON Sunday. The Democracy Of
this State and the Union will extend oil

best interests of the country without fos.

the masses. The Republicans when we
ask them why they did not live up to
their promises on the tariff. said plat.
forms were like moIasses, to catch fiies,
The Democracy have acted in good faith
with us by repeating sumptuary laws,
and you can rest assured that Cleveland
and Hendricks will 60 to the White
House after this election with hand
some majority.
