paper dollar backed by the honor of the repub-
lie, representative OF value as precious as
either silver or gold. Applause ] In the dark-
est hour this nation ever saw. when golS was
worth $780, the republican party. true TO its
principles, refused to compromise the nations
honor by paving the interest on its public debt
in greenbacks. LApplausel
| What was the result? The United States
| bonds became the gilt-edged investment OF the
| financial world. It FASTENED the resumption Of
specie payments, and to-day the commercial
| and financial credit OF the United States is
| equaled BY but one other nation on the face OF
| the earth, its and g.. per cent bonds standing
at the head OF all other financial securities on
all the great money markets Of the world lap
/ plause No greater financial crimes have been
attempted in this country than that Of the Dem
ocrats in their attempt TO substitute the issues
of irresponsible state banks for our present ma
| tional currency.
Who looks at q greenback now with the prop
/ erly authenticated stamp of the United States
upon 1t TO ask whether il is good or not? The ma
tons faith is pledged for its redemption and
| the golden eagle fresh from the mint, has no
more value than that symbol of the nations
promise. [Applause.l No, no, gentlemen, no
more wildcat democratic money. We stopped
that kind of banking when Lee laid down his
sword at Appomatox, and we furnished our En-
glish cousins with enough democratic shin
plasters TO redeem the confederate bonds and
| invested in 4 lost cause.
The republican party believes in commercial
reciprocity. lApp!ause.l II we grant a special
favor 70 any nation tor the intro iuction OF its
products or manufactures within our borders,
we demand return in the right 10 enter free
the products Of manufacturers Of the United
States. The result o. this item of international
exchange has helped to bring Us TO the close OF
the fiscal year OF 1891 and 1892 the exports of
the United States TO Sl.OOJ. ,01J, leaving u
balance in gold against our imports Of s22j,O0O.-
CO. on the right side Of the nations ledger.
Applause
And now one word about the so-calied force
bill" Democratic papers have persistently for
months spread through their columns all sorts
OF incendarg appeals and bogus inform alton in
re gard 10 this alleged force bill There never
has been a force bill that Was indorscd by the
republican party. and the information fur
nished on that subject IS Of the same character
as the cable dispatches OF interviews with Bis
marck. and imaginary discoveries in the
geography of Mars The issue is forced Lcti-
tious and rotten
The republican party, however, believes in 4
free ballot and q sair count. and that We viii
have Applause We fough; for that right
from Bull Kun 70 App1matox: We paid for tho
blessed privilege five thousand millions Of dol
lars and over half 4 million precious lives, AMI
in Gods name we Will fight for il as long as a
sin-le republican remains alive within the
limits OF the American union, be il in the state
of Alabama OF in the state Of New York
Cheers
The democratic party has robbed us of an in
SpecOr in every election district in this city TO
make their contemplated frauds easier of per-
petration; but our friends above Harlem river
need not fear. On election day we shall have
republicans enough to guard the ballot boxes
and We will have a fair count for the candidates
Of the republican party or We will know the
reason why. lCheersl
No cries OF stop. thief" no wild catcalls
against Quay and Martin: no frantic denuncia
tions OF Davenport will prevent the republican
honest count even in the city OF Tweed and
Tammany. Prolonged app!ause.l
Again, the republican party will not condone
political fraud add theft, no matter by whom
committed, whatsoever his name and howso-
ever high sounding his title.
The senate of New York has been stolen
from the electors Of this state by those who
commanded high official station. Denied JUS
tice where the humblest citizen has right to
expect IL, in the court OF last resort the repub-
lean party appeals to the people, and has no
fear that the verdict will render such a crime
in this state possible again Applause ]
Fellow republicans, we are now or the eve of
battle: the enemy in front OF us is bold and IN
scrupulous. Organize. organize, organize

your ward association. help to get up meetings,
talk To your negh5ors encourage your friends,
turn out YOUR clubs and above all help with all
your might to get every republican voter on
election dly.
New York sends greeting and appeals to
every county in the rural districts OF this state
Get ont the voters. poll every republican vote
Each republican ballot will Offset democrat
ballot in this Tammany-rotten citv we need
them all See that they are all registered and
cast Do this, and when the sun goes down on
the Sth OF November next it will be upon one OF
the most glorious victories that has ever
crowned the efforts OF the republican party
since the election OF Abraham Lincoln. [Great
