He started out by giving. hfs reasofie for the faith he had espoused; traced the Republioaa through the Whig baok to ; its origin the old Federal parly—the party of Adams and Hamilton, responsible for the and sedition laws, • fbr the treasonable Hartford convention, and opposition to the Government in the war of 1812; the party whioh later on prayed that the Mexicans should welcome the Amerioan soldiery with bloody hands to hospitable graves; approaching the present,4the sectional party accessory to the precipitation of civil wer; the party of to-day field together by the oohesive power of plunder, even to the extent of stealing tbs presidency, putchasing votes in blooks of five, depauohing the judioiary. He concluded that was not the party in whioh, as a good citizen, to oast his lot. He then traced the Democratic party baok to the date of its organization by the illustrious Jefferson. Its foundation nrinoiple, “Eaual and Exaet Justioe to all Men, Esreoial Privileges to None,” shone out all along the line in advancing years, It coaquoie. a perpetual peace with our old enemy, England. It had acquired vast additions to onr territory. It oarried on to a successful conclusion the war with Mexico and added still further to our domain. In the civil war it stood by the patriotic declaration of "Old Hickory* that “The Federal Union Must be Proserved”. It had proven itself to be the “Party of the People," and with it he ohose to stand. He nrged upon all sincere in their desire for reform‘to vote for that matchless, pure and honest candidate for President, Grover Cleveland A vote lor Harrison was a vote for monopoly and centralization of Governmental powers. A vote for Weaver helped the chances of Harrison. The -speech was given the closest attention bv the largest political gathering held in Rensselaer this campaign At the dose of the meeting Mr. Soberts took the train for when he was booked for an appointment that night|
