But, fellow citizens, in conclusion, let me say
that harmony and conciliation should rule
your councils There never was n time in the
history of the Democratic party when the en-
eny invites victory as now Great and unuum-
bered hosts of dissatisfied men of the Repub-
lican party are heard in the diStauce-in Now
England, in New York, in Texas and in the
West and everywhere, and while the Dem
ocratic party should not deyiate one iota from
the principles of its party, ii should with
open arms say to these men-hundredS
of thOusands-God grant that you may come
here. Here Is the party of the Constitution and
Union, that loves our common country. Come
hither, and so in for an honest rule and an hon
est Government. The Democratic party, while
II may have It's local differences when the
struggle comes Will be together and whoever
you may nominate, of all the great and good
names that are before you, from the East
and West from the North and South, he
cause his own Stafe or himself shall moi have re-
ceived the choice yea, the choice of his
heart, is less than good Democrat
and hardly a patriot, in this our couu-
try's hour OF peril. The Democratic
party is loyal to the Union. The bloody
shirt in the vulgar parlancc of the times has
at each succeeding election been Haunted in the
face of Southern Democrats and in your own
faces. With Logan on the ticket, presume it
will be again. Blaine could hardly afford it.
