acled, with our ballot box surrounded
by the cleaning bayOnct, with carpet
bag rule, with the voice stiilcd-thc
voice of freemen who pay their taxes to
the Govcrnment-the Democratic party
has lived to see through all this mISrulc
, the day come when i'll u great MAJOR
itv of our States the Democratic party
ha- resumed it's control and its power.
1t has your House of Representatives,,
and but for treason stalking IN the Sell
ate chamber, we would nave tnit too.
Loud applause We nave had the
Presidency, too; renewed applause
bu. with impiouS hands, the hands OF
the robbers, our rights were stricken
down a the ballot; through perjury ana
bribery and corruption, tutoring ialNe-
hood through pale lips ana chattclllg
teeth, in The very temples OF liberty,

OF their stewardship; bat history viii

yood republicans to-day are ashamed OF
1t. Loud applause. They turned their
jaceS as well us their conSclcnccS upon
the promise OF the past and refused to
consider the evidence all rccking with
irnominy and bribery and shame, and
counted in IA man who had not received,
under the constitution and the laws, the
s~uitragcs of his c|Ountrymcn. That Is
wrong that we have met mere 10 riSlll.
IApplausc.l Eight years have passed.;
that il three. We are told that the law
has given the verdict to tholn; that Is
true. When Il jury Is in its Do%, I'M
der the statute Of your state, and
n Judge upon the bench, who
holds the scales Of justice uncvenly,
holds with guilty hands II parchment
from the executive of your state, ANA
allows the jury sitting in the box tocjn-
denim a man to death under the icgla OF
LAW. he does what al! the law-writcrs OF
civilization for hundreds of year" have
cursed and damned as legal murder.
lApDlausc. ON, the great sin Of that
Electoral commission remains to-day
unpublished, and will ever be unavcnSei
SO long as the Republican party Is N
power in this country. Applause l
ihank God that there is nc statute OF
limitations running in favor of that
party applause, and Ia that connection,
inv fellow-Dem0crats, be it said to the
credit of the Democratic party,
that they exhibit none OF that
spirit of the Hotspurs, and OF that
spirit which sought to enEulf TINS
country, fresh a. 1t was upon me neeis
OF q great and fratracidal war. But our
great leadcrs-Tilden and Hendricks
mere the speaker was interrupted by
long, continued applause, the delegates
rising to their ieeC and waving their
hatsl. But our great leaders, Iliden
and Hendrick, with the dignity OF heroic
statesmen, with the courage of men VINO
love their country better than Itself ana
power, accepted the wrong and injury
Of perjury and of fraud, and they are
grander to-day in their defeat than the
men who wear their power at the eX-
pense of justice and right cheers.
