Of republication, which meant equal
and exact justice to all. He drew an
admirable contrast, showed the evils Of
secession and OF slavery, and be-
glad that the republican party
~. Some colored men forgot what re-
publicanism had done for them and he
considered that such men were un-
worthy Of the ballot. He showed
how, In spite OF democratic opposition.
the republican party had established the
credit of the nation BY resuming specie
payment, had established homestead
law, inaugurated public improvements,
protected American Industry and labor,
established q free ballot and provided for
public schools. He answered the cry of
'turn the rascals out" by showing the
nefarious act of Garland, Vincent,
Churchill, Polk, Gray and "honest Dick
Tate" that showed there were ras-
calls In democracy. He concluded by
saying that all along the line
from Maine to California were united
and that next November the republicans
will gain q victory as great az when Abe
Lincoln was elected.
