ureS OF per cent, ana now can IL DC OLner-
wise when there is this enormous portion of
the peoples currency locked up in the vaults
of the treasury' Send that money more out
into the channels and wheat won't sell in a
begging market for SO cents, 72 cents and
as cents bushel. 1t is so cents a bushel
less to-day than it was when you elected
Republican candidate four years ago, who
made James G. Blaine secretary of state;
and if you have your mortgage to pay or in
terest upon it, counting bushel for dollar it
takes good many more bushels now to pay
interest on your mortgage debt than it did
four years ago, and when you come to pay
your mortgage off it will take good many
more hundred bushels than 1t did good
while ago. They do not say to you now as
they did four years ago, 'let well enough
alone" 1t is not well enough; it is bad
enough. When you see men out of employ
ment you may know there Is trouble some
where. God, wrote in the early days of our
race that by the sweat of his
brow man shall earn his bread. But it
did seem that there was coupled with that
Divine sentimentthat perhaps a man should
have chance to earn bread by the sweat of
his brow. But II Is not so now with ALL
There are some that cannot get employment
to earn their bread. Ihave understood that
one of the establishments of this city that
gave employment not long since to 100 men
is now closed down. There is no employ
ment there any more, and SO it Is with the
old rolling mill at Indianapolis that formerly
employed hundreds of men. 1t is as silent
now as in the graveyard across the way. The
stimulant of labor, the stimulant of enterprise
and the life of activity is dead. 1t is locked
up in the nations treasury, and the Demo-
Gratis say change of policy will reduce tax
alton, make 1t easier upon the people and the
burthen lighter.
There are few other matters about which
probably ought to speak to you this after
noon. The Republicans have pretty much
given you and me up, my ordinary fellow
citizens. They do not expect any more to
get votes of the natives of this country.
They have pretty much given up
-ur German citizen. They have
pretty much given up our Swedes and Danes,
and believe they have come down hard and
heavy upon our Irish, fellow citizens,
when they come to the conclusion that they
can get the Irish votes they are pretty much
gone up themselves. 1t will be pretty much
of disappointment when November comes
around. That is my prediction. l think
know it is so in the neighborhood where 1
live. Why, said the other day at Conners-
vile that the Irishman was a natural Demo
crat. That is pretty much the truth.
For 100 years he has been with the Demo
Gratis. He recollects the time alien law was
placed there in the administration of John
Adams and was taken off by Thomas Jeffer-
sou. He remembers the day when Know
Nothingism was rampant in this country, and
that the Democratic party was the champion
of free religion and foreign right to occupy
our country along with the rest of US. /
think it is a bad way when the Republicans
have to rely on the Irish vote. The Irish
know where their friends have been in the
past.
| My fellow citizens. think 1 can say to you
this afternoon that our cause will be success
full this year. We have a candidate for
president that has borne himself with diStin-
guished credit and honor in the high offices
which he has heretofore filled. He Eas borne
himself with credit in the city which pro-
NOTED him to chief magistrate of that city.
He has borne himself with great credit as the
chief magistrate Of the greatest Of the states
Of this union. Substantial objection
| has not been made against his
administration. He is to-day supported by
the ablest men of the Republican party. The
independence of New York, of Connecticut,
worthy of their support. They have many
reasons for that support. There are better
assurances of good government, of an eco
nomical government, of American protec-
ton everywhere and under all circumstan-
ces, if Gov. Cleveland Is made president in
stead of James G.. Blaine, and with such
support, in addition to the earnest zeal of the
Democracy in favor of his election, l can
entertain no dOubt of the result
a paper the other day found fault with me
because, with my hat in my hand, stood in
the presence of my countrymen and asked
of them their support; and if they fail to find
| any other charge against me except that they
may go to "HalifaX." Laughter. As
have stated before did not desire the nomi-
nation for the president eight years ago, and
/ did not desire it at Chicago when, with
absolute unanimity it was conferred upon me
But now that l have been nominated, have
accepted of..the nomination. come before you
my fellow citizens of Indiana, and say to you
| that my hearts earnest desire is to receive
your support. l will be glad to receive every
Democrats support. will be very proud OF
the support of my Republican friends, of my
| Greenback and Independent friends, and
when it is all counted up have a sort of ar
| impression, very strong now, that 1t is going
to be a very decided majority in November
1 do not believe 1 have any doubt about
Indiana. do not think you have.
If success for my party does not mean
better government cheaper government
and more economical administration Of
public affairs, do not want it to succeed
but upon that faith only have the right t
ask you to try once more this party. When
it was in your power before, it was econom
ical in the administration. 1t cost only
few millions in the administration of Jack
son, of Polk, of Pierce, and we have come t.
period where the young men cannot ado
