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 10 pay or in
terest upon 1t, 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 of it will take a good many
more hundred bushels than it did good
while ago. They do not say TO you now as
they did four years ago, ''let well enough
alone" II is not well enough; il 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 sentiment that perhaps 8 man should
have chance to earn bread by the sweat of
his brow. But it 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. It is as silent
now as in the graveyard across the way. The
stimulant oflabor, the stimulant OF enterprise
and the life Of activity is dead. 1t is locked
up in the nations treasury, and the Demo

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 viii be pretty much

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-

Nothingism was rampant in this country, and
that the Democratic party was the champion

think il is 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 viii be success
full this year. We have a candidate for
president that has borne himself with distin-
guished credit aud honor in the high offices
which he has heretofore filed. He has 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 sblest men Of the Republican party. The
independence Of New York, Of Connecticut.
of Massachusetts, and of Indiana, say ne is
worthy Of their support They have many
reasons for that support There are better

/ did not desire it at Chicago when, with
absolute unanimity 1t was conferred upon me-
But now that I have been nominated, have
accepted oi.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 viii be glad to receive every

Indiana. do not think you have.
If success for my party does not mean a
better government. a cheaper government
and more economical administration of
public affairs, do not want it TO succeed:
but upon that faith only l have the right to
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 to
