They believe that they will surely ge
153 electoral votes from the sixteeI
Southern States, and then they expec
or they hope or they dream that they
may secure New York and Indiana, anC
that with New York and Indiana added
to the solid South they will seize the
| government of the nation. / do moi
| believe that the farmers, the business
men, the manufacturers, the merchants
| tie mechanics, and last of all and most
of all, do not believe that the soldiers
of Indiana can be put to that use:
/ do not believe that the men who
added lustre and renown to the name OF
your State through four years of bloody
war can be used to call to the admins
tration of the government
THE MEN WHO ORGANIZED THE GREAT
REBELLION.
In the Senate of the United States the
Democratic party have thirty-seven
members, of which number thirty-two
come from the South. Of their strength
in the House of Representatives, the
majority of the representatives come
from the South, and now the intention
is, with an absolutely solidified electoral
vote from the South, added to the votes
of the two States / have named, to seize
the government of the Union. That
means agreat deal. 1t means that as the
South furnishes three-fourths of the
Democratic strength it will be given the
lead and control of the nation in the
event of Democratic triumph. 1t
k6ax Sol
industrial system of the country shall
be
PLACED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE
SOUTH;
that our currency, our banks, our tariffs,
our internal revenue laws, and in short,
that our whole system upon which the
business of the country depends, shall
be placed under the control Of that sec
ton.
It means that the constitutional |
to which they are so bitter
" opposed, shall be enforced only so far |
IS they believe in them. That the
national credit as guaranteed In the |
fourteenth amendment, that the pay-I
nent of pensions to the soldiers of the |
Union as guaranteed in the same amend
nent, shall be under their control, and
THAT that control might mean can be
measured By
HE BITTERNESS WITH WHICH THESE
AMENDMENTS WERE RESISTED
y the Democrats of the South.
There is not one measure Of banking,
+ tariff, Of finance, Of public credit, Of
ensions, not one line of administration |
pom. which the government is conducted
1-day to which the Democrats of the
outh are not recorded as hostile, and
) give them control would mean q
hange, the like Of which has not been
n0Wn in modern times. It would
G as if the dead StuaRts were called to
lie throne Of England, IS If the Bour-
ons should be invited to administer the .
Dyernment Of the French Republic, as
Rough the Florentine Dukes should be {
died back and empowered to govern
lie great kingdom Of Italy.
Such triumph would be
