1864 came—the dark hour oame, exhaustion and impatience had settled like niglit all over the North. Abraham Lincoln would go into the War Department an~ sH down and cry like a child. We hai catne to a turning point. We stood between defeat and disintegration, over throw and destruction on the one side ana on the other a patient holding on a little longer so as to enable us to try. The Rebellion was in its last gasp.

The National Convention of Democrats met at Chicago—then held a great Ecumenical Council which gets together once in four years—and for the last twenty pearii has been getting together to determine exactly the "substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. [Laughter and.cheem] The great Democratic party met—most of them—at Chicago.

Into the Northern States to start the small pox. They found it rather hard to tight our arrotrs iii the ncld, and they thought, as they say in the West, "THEIR BEST HOLD*' would l»e to give them the small-pox. Then it was thought that Greek fire, a very destructive chemical, should he used in New York City to set it on fire. And a little plan had been arranged for flibfcrating rebel prisoners conftned up hefe *at lake Erte, and many other things which were thouirht in New York not to be very good manners. [Laughter.] jProm the Clifton house they made most valuable suggestions. It was cool there and they concluded wisely no doubt, that the great overtopping* overmastering piece of cunning would be nr»

THE WAR DIDN'T KAIL.

[Cheers.] Then the war and the Union, and the Constitution, and the Republican party prevailed exceedingly.' [Laughter and loud cheers.]

Governments had been cast down in the Southern States. They are to be rebuilded. Wc simply asked for security for the future

WR DEMANDED NO INDEMNITY

for the past. The Southern people were offered the most magnanimous, the most generous, the most grand terms to ba found in recorded history. Tell tne—telT me any man of an instance in which: a rebellion took place any where from fthe Garden of Eden down to this time where "the conqueror ever offered to the vanquish ed term9 so generous as were given to the rebels by Gr&it at Appomattox. No man was

Dunished^-noestate

was confiscated,

no disabilities were imposed—nothing on earth—except that men who had taken the oath to support the Constitution of the United States, who had office under it and went into the rebellion thtfs adding perjury to treason were told, not that they should not vote, as you see in Democratic papers, but that they should not hold office until the Congress of the United States said they might. That is all. From the time these States were reinstated from Jefferson Davis down no one was ever hindered one hour, or one minute in the privilege of voting. Nay, more. Not one of these men who were disabled ever came to Congress with a petition, if it was not three lines, saying I ask to have my disabilities removed, and signing his name to it, who was not relieved instantly by unanimous consent. And yet you hear about Southern people being disfranchised. This is a part of the rubbish incidental to every, political campaign. Jefferson Davis has never asked to have his disabilities removed. Robert Toombs, who started to rail the roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill, didn't by a large majority [Laughter] *and Wigfall, who was go ing to water his horse in the Hudson river, but who didn't get there, not yet who was going to pay his troops in coin taken from Boston banks, and didn't take it worth a cent—these men would not. ask to have their disabilities removed, and therefere they have not been removed-.

There is prettyhigh authority for the doctrine that they should at least ask. "Ask and shall ye receive—knock and it shall be opened unto you." So Congress has said to all these men, and thousands of them have been relieved who dipped their feet in the best blood of the nation, and made the tongues of dogs red through the same. Men have been relieved who committed the mightiest murders in all history. Men who, without provocation, living under the fairest and freest government on which the sun over shone, plung ed their country into a bloody war and organized a procession of mourners and of cripples which no man can number.

Government in these States after the war was over, was to be rebuilded. Every measure that was proposed, every effort that was made, every proposition that the wit of man could suggest, the solid Democratic paifly in Congress opposed and denounced. .^Every one—every measure that Lincoln proposed was full of objections—no end to objections—the always head and fro at of objections, was "unconstitutional." That is a solemn thing when you come to think of it when the average Democrat, particularly one who never read the Constitution, puts himself square

We went on to 1$75. We thought it was about time that the paper dollar should be as good as anybody else's dollar. We had a great deal currency out- It had Jluctuated from 38 cents on the dollar to cents. It was a juggling, gambling condition of things. Nobody suffered as much as the laboring man. The canitalists, brokers, and the money changes, money lenders, money dealers and sharp business men coulci Comparatively take care .of themselves.

So a committee was appointed of Republican Senators to go out and see if they could get up.a bill which all Repub hcans in both houses could vote for. They did. It was the resumption act of 1875.
