disoyal house met last December; and during the


session the Democrats in Congress passed this bill


over again. The Lamars, the Hookers, and that

this is di-loyal Democracy. l sometimes feel my

TROUBLES IN THE SOUTH.


Yes and there are troubles in the North. And if
desired to do so, could stand here and paint mob

that have stained the soil of Indiana, And you
know it. Where men were put to death without |
trial and without judge and without jury. The soil
of the Northern states well the sonthern states
has been stained with the blood of crime. Philade
phia, Boston, the New England states, all present
fection in this world. Crime will prevail |
everywhere and be at an average. And |
those riots that are spoken of in the South, how |
strange is that they only come just before an cleo
tion is approaching, some scalawag carpet-bagger
white men, meaner and baser than any black man, |
stir up the untutored ignorant black men TO riot
they will be injured and political capital made
by il. Let me ask you plain question. What ad- |
vantage is it that these things take placer Whc |
halls them as political capitsli The Republican
party not tie Democratic parry. You and / live
by peace and law and order. The Republican party |


in the North lives by disorder, by riot and by muir
der wherever is takes place in the South. These RI
OTIS always take place in Republican states Of the
South, not in the Democratic. Where
administration Where is one in Tennessee? Where


is in Georgia But go to poor, cursed, bankrupt,
pundered torn dishonored South Carolina, with her
Republican governor. her Republican Legislature,
her Republican judges her Republican sherifs, her
negro magistrates-wth all the power in the hands
of the Republicans it is there that these negro riots
are brought just in the nick of time II those
desire punish disorder they have the power to
do il. Chamberlain is the governor the judges are
Republican; the sherifs Republican. Where this


last Hamburg trouble took place the negroes the


Judges and the justices of the peace. Let them bring
these men up and punish them if they are guilty;
would help hang them myself If they were guilty.
When these Republican officials there instead OF
doing their duty, rushing to Wash
know that it is a political movement
Then know the whole thing originated in desire
to infiame the Northern mind. What does Ii proyei

Southern states without all the powers of the gov

OUR CANDIDATES


My friends, a word two about candidates
You may say that all have stated is true but have
you candidate who Is entitled to the title OF re-
former2 Who is Samuel j. Tilden ? know him to
lie man of ability, man of iron nerve, whose
acts speak for themselves. Two years ago he was
nominated for governor OF New York, and was op-
posed by Governor Dix wi his record, and the
prestige of having commanded Il at if any man at,
vet he was elected by fifty thousand majority. APP
plause. But Morton says he was secessionist. Had
the old Empire State $1,000 secesh majority, don't
they know the man well as morton knOW- MIN he
is an old man and lived there during the war; before
and since il stands to reason that the people Of
that State should know him well as Morton. Then
they say that he in completely with Tweed.


who had organized official ring for the purpose of


plunderng the tax payers, and this too in the face
of the fact that Tweed brought TO trial originally
on the personal affidavit of Samuel J. Tilden, who

formed the city government and purih-d the public
service II then that the people Of the State saw
they needed his services They had been paying six
teen million dollars taxes annually, and in less than
two years he has reduced the burden one-half He
also broke the canal ring, the most powerful and
corrupt organization in State. Where is the Re

nominated him for president. [Cheers
