The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-07-05

s!stencies and falsehoods of an Indictment
meant to arraign the democrats, they have
brought into bold relief the circumstances
OF their own failure when in power, to do
any OF the things which they accuse us OF
negiecting. Their nominee for president by
his Willingness to open the fioodgates to
pauper Chinese invasion gives the lie direct
to their declaration against foreign con-
tract labor, and by his know nothing ante
cedents is living affront to citizens OF
foreign birth and to the members of the
Roman Catholic church. Their nominee
Tor vice president was selected, not
Tor the friends or the enemies he
has made, but for the money he can
raise; and his presence on their ticket is at
once submission to the money power and
confession OF the method, by which alone
they hope to secure the election. Their
counterfeit equipment is complete Their
partisan biazonry is superb There is not
corrupt ring in the land, which is making
money by the robbery of the people, that
will not DO found subscribing to tneir cam
paign fund. In shining steel, in glittering
brass, and in costly plates Of homely tin,
with banners waving and bands playing,
for all the world like the arrogant
and gaudy braves of Clinton and
Howe in other days that tried mems
souls. But DO not afraid, my hesrties, be
not afraid. Be not ashamed, neither; not
or your rustic gear, nor Of the plain and
SIMPLE truths which you have to tell that
one man may not be taxed for tho benefit
OF another man; that money is made by
saving, not by wasting it; that that govern
ment only is good which is just 70 all its
citizens, and that no government can be
just which collects more of the peoples sub
stance than is required economically to
maintain it. 1t must needs be that you
shall encounter much that will tax your
fortltude, it may be that you shall be
driven back upon your lines Of defense. But
as surely as you stand, like
the old Contnentals.
In their ragged regimentals,
Yielding not
just so surely shall you win. 1t is related
of that September day in l776, when driven
across Long Island and compelled to evacu-
ate the city of New York, that a portion of
the patriot forces which had escaped in
safety to these nights, paused here to wait
the coming OF the rear guard. They waitel
long and anxiOusly Atlength smile came
over the face of the father of his country as
he sat IN his saddle, hoping for the best, but
not fearing the worst. He heard the guns
of the boy artillerlst booming down the
river; he saw the head of Knoxs column
emerging from the ravine; and resolving to
stand and fight, he felt that all was we'll
And all was well Gentlemen, this is no mimic
battle in which we are about to engage, and
no trivial or contemplate enemy whom we
are about TO meet. 1t is to be struggle
between the unorganized masses of the peo-
pie against the trained veterans Of subsidy,
bounty and class distinction 1t will surely
have its ups and downs, its moments of ex-
ultation and depression, its advantages and
reverses but, when hours are darkest and
hopes hang heaviest, may you in your
dreams behold the calm figure Of Washing
ton and hear the thunder of Hamilton's guns
and with the triumph of our first war for
freedom ringing in your hearts-may you
waken to renewal of your faith in the
cause of the people, and know that all Is
well
