tn, outrage and place the negros hut and the
white mans palace equal beneath the protect
ing shield of the constitution.
Fellow-Republicans, feel that we shall go
forth to victory in this canvass. not alone by
reason Of what We have done, but by reason
also of what we can and will do for the country
in the future. The party which has done all
the political reforming OF the last fifty years
can do some more If needed. II the tariff needs
reforming and readjusting what party can bet
ter do il than the one which has proved itself
the friend Of American enterprise and Ameri-
can labor! II the constitutional amendments
which embody the great results of the civil
war are to be vitalized and protected from
practical notification in the South, what party
can be better trusted to do il than the one
which with bayonets and blood wrote these
amendments in the constitution against the re-
lentless opposition OF the entire Democratic
party:
Our National candidates are men worthy OF
the great principles for which they stand.
Levi P. Morton illustrates grandly in his career
the superiority of American institutions. He
is man Of character, of ability and of wealth:
and mention his wealth only to pay him this
rare compliment-that,h having acquired fortune
honorably by the labor OF his hands and brains,
he has used it az a trust for the benefit OF his
fellow-men. When his country in its darkest
financial hour needed money for its defense, he
credit by stalking his all upon National perpet-
uity and honor. His bounty has freighted
ships for the hungry of other lands, and built
homes for the friendless OF his own. His valua-
BILE services to his country prove HIM more
than worthy OF the high ONCE 20 which the So
Der judgment OF the people has already de-
creed his election next November.
We have placed at the head OF our National
ticket q name conspicuous in the history of
every conflict where the English speaking race
have drawn swords in the cause Of freedom.
With the name OF Harrison left out the history
Of human liberty could not be written. When
the peoples rights were to be preserved in
America against the encroachments of an En-
glish tyrant Harrison was there to stake fe,
fortune and honor upon its accomplishment.
When in 1S4) dishonest Democratic Admins
tratlon-the prototype Of Mr.. Cleveland's-wss
10 be hurled from power by the people another
Harrison in the person Of grand "Old Tippe-
canoe" was there to lead to deserved and hon
orable victory. When the mad career of the
slave power was to be curbed when the Union
of the fathers was to be preserved, and q race
exalted from slavery to citizenship. yet anoth
er Harrison with On honor and a courage
worthy the great name he bears drew his
sword and sheathed it not again until the great
work was done. And now when another Demo
cratic Administration, which has sunk patriot
ism in partisanship, is to be swept from power
we have found another Tippecsnoe who will
not take his hand from the pillow nor look back
until the second term aspirations of Cleveland
are sent to join those Of Martin Van Buren,.
General Harrison is not running upon the
record Of his ancestors but upon his own. His
friends point to personal career Of command
ing ability, of spotless honor, and OF high pat
riotism. He is best praised by saying his ca
reer has been in all respects different from that
Of his opponent. An ar stocrat only in the
sense OF duties faithfully performed, true no
bleman in the blazonry Of patriotic deeds done
for mankind, he comes forward under the true
colors of his manhood to give to this country
an American administration devoted to Amer
can interests.
