lie domain and given 1t away to rail-
road and other corporations, and that
the democratic party has reclaimed it
to the public: Both ofthese assertions
are exaggerated and false in the inn
pressions which they convey. That
the republican party has granted lands
for railroad purposes no one denies, but
such of these lands as have been re.
stored to the government have been
restored under laws which were enact
ed by the republican party at the time
the grants were made; in other words,

United States record, called the Public
Domain, in which it appears that be-
fore the republican party came into
power the democratic party gave away
to railroads and other corporations from
sixteen to twenty million acres Of the
public lands. The gentleman from Ill

not give it directly. What is the diff

or indirectly, 60 they gaveit
But the public document from which
get this information says it was
Gland grants for railroads." and the
gentleman cannot hide his party be-
hind the subterfuge that the lands
were granted to the States for railroad
purposes. In doing this his party was
directly responsible for the act and
should have the manhood to admit It
and stand by it. So were nearly all
the grants made by the republican
party made to the States for railrUad
purposes, and the. republican party
also might try to hide itself II 1t were
coward enough to attempt to do 80.
And now, gentlemen, If you desire to
make this q political question, if you
will turn to this public document you
will find that under President Pierce's
administration of four years there were
granted to railroads Is, 678, 400 acres,
while under President Grants admin
istration of eight years there were
granted 19, 2S1 600 not halfas much &C.
cording to time as was granted under
President Pierce. Mr.. Chairman, the
republican party is ready to go to the
people on the public lands question on
the records. [Applause on the repub.
