knew enough to know he was at the head
Of the Democratic party. and that he owed
all he was to the Solid South. The states.
men from that section were tree traders.

startled him with what was to him II big

great question, Of how, by virtue Of the

pie Of the North had built up great
manufacturing establishments; had
gathered in them for their management
and operation hundreds Of thousands Of
honest, toiling wage. workers, who were
constituting q great home market. They
told him Of how the farmers had been in.

the quality and yield Of wool. and N.
counted to him how the North had in con.

wealth and power and making her PEOPLE
happy and prosperous. while the States Of

THE REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE.
Let me say to all who want to know who
Harrison is, think Of the Republican
party. Think Of its patriotism, its hero
ism, its sacrifices; think Of its humanity,
its morality, and its matchless statesman
ship. Think OF its great leaders-of Lin
coin, Seward, Chase. Sumner, Morton,
Thaddeus Stevens, Grant, Garfield and
Blaine. Recall their exalted characters,
their learning, their culture and refine
ment, their great powers Of intellect, their
love OF liberty, and their zeal for human
equality. Remember what they and their
party have done to preserve National
unity, maintain inviOlate our National
honor, and to promote human welfare.
Fill your mind with this splendid chapter
Of our history, and then conceive of man
who has been one Of the prominent con-
trolling IA tors and chief inspirations in
it all, and you have Benjamin Harrison.
Such q man needs no other or further
eulogy; for when you say of him that he is
typical Of all the broad humanity, noble
generosity, devoted CHRISTIANITY, unfiinch-
ing patriotism, soldierly herOsm and I'M
exampled magnanimity that the Republic
an party has displayed, you have accorded
him the highest virtues he can possibly
possess. All this can be said of Benjamin
Harrison truthfulIy and without exaggera-
ton. That's the kind of a "bigot' he IS.
But what kind of 'bigot'' is Grover
Cleveland! Paint his party and you have

was a Democrat when Democracy meant
human slavery. He was Democrat when
Democracy meant, in the language Of
Judge fancy, that black man had no
rights which white man was bound 20 re-
spect." He was a Democrat when De-
meant the slave pen, the whip
ping-post and the auction blocks He is .
Democrat who is without any part what
ever in any OF the glorious ach evements
OF his day and generation The Union
was saved without him Our armies
were raised without him. Our battles were
fought without him Slavery was abol-
ished without him. Secession was shct to
death without him. Suffrage was made
without him. The grand systems
Of finances that have made our country the
wonder and the admiration of the world
were all conceived and executed without
him. Recall, if you can. the worst days
and the lowest depths and most Infamous
practices of Democracy, and then paint
you man who has lived through it all,
been part Of it all, and in sympathy with it
all, and you have Grover Cleveland as he
upon his Administration. From
hen until now he has been himself the
Democratic party. He has ruled it with
1 rod of iron. He has led it whittier he
would. He has not allowed it to have any
will inconsistent with his own.
Cleveland has done more to stir up a
spirit of sectionalism than any other man
who has figured in the politics Of this
country since Appomattox. Every body
lad settled down to the conclusion that the
Union side had triumphed and that the
var was settled according to the terms
prescribed in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
md fifteenth Amendments, and that
hese provisions must DE, in good faith,
accepted and upheld. But how stands the
,ase to-day. Let me answer by reading
'ou few extracts from recent utterances

how clearly that the mind OF that people
las been turned back to where it was dur
ng the war with respect to the right Of
he doctrine of secession, and that we are
o have another spell Of the Haunting OF
hat heresy in our faces. But consider
urther how there is no longer denial or
pology for multiplying and tramplng
inder foot the constitutional amendments
onferring suffrage on black men. For
ears, ever since 1873, this work has been
DING on, but not until Cleyeland's Adj
has there been an open
yowal and attempted justification Of it
In the language Of Senator Voorhees,, let
S hope and pray that God Almighty may
vert such a calamity TO this land as the
