You know how II was in war times:
how II was in the reconstruction period.
You will remember how they caressed

You will remember how II was about

exception to their criticism OF him In
connection with the act OF 1873. Have
you forgotten. senator; has any man
forgotten how the Democrats OF this

and malIgned him because OF his grand
work In connection with resumption In
1872 uong continued applnuse.)
And not TO be tedious about II, they
were not only wrong about all the ques-
tons 10 which have Just adverted. but
they were wrong. az was trying TO ln-
dIcate awhile ago. about their PROPOSE
don OF free trade on which they carried
the country In 1882. and so II Is. say.
they have not advanced an idea. they
have not put forward n proposition in
the Inst 40 years with respect To the adj
ministrntion OF our national Affairs that
has met with the acceptance and today
enjoys the approval Of the people OF the
United States. (More cheering)
Now, when party has had 40 years OF
trial. j, somehow or other. lose con-
fldence In them Cheering and laughterl.
especially when they come TO me with
a new proposition. admitting In the pre-
sentation Of II that they have failed be-
yond expectation with respect to the
last one that they advanced.
And so say am opposed TO this In
the first place, because the Democratic
party has put II forth. But have other
OBJECTIONS 10 II. The Democratic news
papers do not seem to like IT. 0ne-hAit
OF the Democratic party Itself does NOT
approve this new proposition. Now.
when the Democratic party brings for-
ward something 70 bad that one-hah OF
its own party cannot stomach Il, do
not want them to. ask me TO take II
down. Great laughter and cheering1
