FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE AIL FOR TILDEN AND HEN DRICKS. MR. VOORH EES' SPEECH. A BKARCBI5Q RkVIEW OF THE ADMIN1STRA. TION AND HIS ELOQUENT APPEAL TO TBK HONEST MASSES IO BALLT AROUND THE REFORM STANDARD OF THE OLD RELIABLE DEMOCRATIC PARTT. Mr Fellow Cm. We srs approaching what Is alwars a most interesting event in Anier lean hlstorr the election of a president of tbs United States, a change in ths public officers of the country. The true theory or onr government li that the officer of thegoTernmeut oi th United States are not iU ruler, but are the serrants or the people and the people then.nelve are the orereigm. be conotitution of the United State savt "we tb people" make this government; and upon the virtue and intelligence of the people is it based. If yonr government is ever lost it will bo. your fault, for io yonr hands at the ballot-box is the power to preserve your goverment. purify it when It become, corrupt, turn out bad men when they no longer assist you and serve yon and place good seen in their stead. And I never face an American sad'ence that I do not feel like impressing upon them the high responsibility that is in their hands. j RESPONSIBILITIES OF AMERICAN CITIZENS Indoed it quite often seems to me that the neoDle are not sufficiently Impressed themselves with the mighty power which they control and have. It is your government, my friends; if it is a bad government the American people permitted it to be so; if it is a good government to you belongs the credit of making it soch A nd I come here to-day lo call on you to change and purify tbe worst civil administration your government has ever known. Wherever the English tongue is spoKeu and in countries where the English tongue is not spoken throughout the boundaries of civiliiation the admiuwtration of affairs In the American republic, for the last eight years especially nas Decome a uyworu and a reproach. The jouruals of England, the newspapers and public men in every country in Aurupe are pointing to the corrupt and degraded condition of the public service in the Uni ted states as an argument against a republican lorui of gnversmeut. They cite the peculation and fraud in this country as an argument that a government with a king, with an aristocracy, and with privileged classes, mnke a purer and better government than that for which our fathers rou?bt In the revolution. These are solemn facts. Got. Morton, and that class or men, may proclaim that you have a purs govern ment this day. lou know that it Is not -o, and tbe whole world knows that is not so. I take tbe entire American people to witness that it is not true. We have fnll-n upon evil times, and the public mind of the United states is now moving as it onghtto move in behalf of a radical change in the af fairs of the republic. There is permeating the puouc mir.d a widespread and deep sealed dissatisfaction nobody is satixtied with thiugs as they are. II y Republican friend, if there is oue listening to my poor voice to-day here, yoa are not satisfied. You may stand up and tell me you are; 1 know you are not. In your heart or heart you DENOUNCE AND LOATHE THE ADMINISTRATION which yonr own ' party haa given yon for. the last eight year. And in your heart of hearts, if yoa could be convinced that yoa could true a- Pnnc craiic party or any other party yoa would say I will welcome a change; lor it can t oe worse ana it may be better. That is the feeling all through this country. The people are moving, simply on the idea that I have Just proclaimed, that any change, any change, is desirable because it can not make matter worse and might make them better. In fact, my friends, a change in politic and the civil aervlce of the country 1 often desirable though no special or specific act are pointed out. When on party ha been in power a long a this party has tbe officer of the government become indifferent to yoa, they become neglectful of their duties, they become sordid and corrupt in their greed and love of gain, they feel that they are a specially favored class set apart to hold possession of tbe government. And when inch a täte of affair a that prevails, whether it 1 ray party that 1 la office for these many years, or whether it I your party that is ia office, my Republican friend, it is better that there should a change take place. Turn them oat and put la new mea and let the men th"t get in go In with a new and vivid sense of their responsibility to tbe people. They are fresh from the people, and they Lave not been there so long a to forg-l the people. - On the same principle that yoa chauge the crop In your fields, that renders them more fruitful, so men in office ought to be changed. This Republican party has been grating too long in Washington a new stock ought to be pat there a new breed and a new class, and the old onght ts be turned Into the public com. moos. Laughter.1 Acd tbe American people ere about that thing this year. Wby need I stand here and dwell upon what your eye have teen and what yonr ears ha heard T The corruption that have attracted the attention of tbe entire world for tbe last 15 years at Washington. They could cover np their track because the Democratic party had no department ander it control; had no branch of Congress ander its control aniil the last Congress; had no opportunity to investigate anybody or anything, and the radicals could pluuder and squander your money, and one bid while the other stole. Laughter. But at last the people of the United btate and I will show that they ought to be congratulated upon ittrusted one branch of Congress to tbe Democratic party. Last December a majority of Democrat came into the Lower House for the first time for ixteen year, and ever ilnce that time INTAfeTTO ATIONS HATE BEEN OOIXQ ON. They lute plowed up and turned over corruption, fraud aa4 peculation faster and more frequently than yoa ever plowed np yellow jacket' nest in an old fallow field in the fall of the year. Laughter and applause. Governor Morton, in hi speech the other day. comolalned that there had been some thirty investigating committee going on ander tbe Democratic House oi Representa tives, l-ea, and if there had been thirty more courses plowed over the civil service something wrong would have been turned up at every furrow. Wbec before in the history of this government was a secretary of war unearthed as a secret partner of a contemptible army sutler on the frontier, acd In partnership with him la stealing from tbe private soldier on each pound of bacon and bread that be bought at the sutler's tent? When Wa auch a thing heard of before? But, aays Marion, the reason wby Belknap stole was that Grant took him from the Democratic party and pat bim ia bis cabinet. Laughter I admit to yoa that it is a bad ign and an evil day for the public s-rvice wi.en a Republican administration like Grant's finds a Democrat that is mean enough to go into its service and leave the old Demo ctatic party. (Applause. But If Belknap was a Democrat, a his friend say be was. It still show how snufa it is to truet anen who betray their principles for the sake ef office, ss Belkosp and Oliver f. Horton, John Logan, and others who left the Dem.cratic party to take places and position. A p. plaase. Thea in veetigations bsive show the highest officials . . In the land engaged in fraiai, peculation and corruption. Too have taken notice of it all over the country. Tbe time haa 4een eomisg on, a time wheat the people were oppressed, wbea business was stagnant, when the Industries of the country were paraijzed, when tbe farmer was gettiag low prices for bis produce and paviag high taxea, wbea the mechanic wae out oi empioysnent, wnen uie laboring man goes horn an gatarcay night with ft for hi week' work U hlaveeplng wife and children, (whea they used to f'et 9M. S bat do these, mea care, so bey get their U-gottea gains? What care they whether THE LAIIO 18 FILLED WITH MEN AND WOKEN OUr OF AM PLOT At BNT? What care they whether the great Industrie of the nation Staad still? Nothing at all. ' What cared they whether two hindred thousand men wer out of employment In tbe cities of New York and Philadelphia ' and Boston? What cared they whether your highway were filled with men, and women too. called tramps, tramping for bread because they coaid not get employment to earn their bread? Tbia ia tha etat of the peopla at this time; this i the condition of tbe American people, and it ha impressed every patriotic heart with the necessity of hurling these mea from power and placing somebody else titers. It ha impreset'd everybody with the idea that tb fullness of tbe time has com when a change in th administration of the American republic is demanded lo tbs In Ma ttf mi juaa. WGiuaa and cbild
thron (hont the nation, except, perhaps, those that are in office ander Radical rule and those that are favored bj special class legislation. Bat, let ns go a step farther. If change I advisable on account of the constant corruption, the hard times and bad policy, the next question that arises in your minds, and In the mind of all men is, where is the party that you caa trust? I admit to yoa witb perfect candor, men of Indiana, that if the Democratic party can not be
safely trusted with power in this government you might as well stand still where you are. But a I said a while ago, the experiment can not Injure yoa - yoa can not be any worse off and yon might be better, l come now to consider tne proposition tnat a rles now ia my mind at this point. What doe the Democratic party promise you? I need not stand here to demonstrate that nobody wants the continu ance of our present condition. There is AN TNEA8T DISSATISFIED FEELING, a looking out for something to come. Let us e whether the party that yoa and I belong to promises deliverance, promise relief, promises benefits and blessings, or whether it is to be but a centiaNation of the course of tbe present and the past. My Independent 1 - brother, . a word to yon. You are ia tbe habit of going around and saying that there is no difference between the Democratic party ami the Republican party on thse great industrial and financial questions. That is tbe argument ol my Independent friend, and I am here to peak very kindly to him. I have nothing of abase enJ denunciation for anybody. I am not in that business this canvass. Tbe trnth is that Morton ba taken out a patent on that business, and he would sue me if I infringfd upon his rights. Laughter. He does it all himself; and one great reason why he doe that and that alone is because be has nothing better to offer She people. Laughter. lie has no argument to offer and he has to give them something. And there is another reason why he indulge in abuse and I dont. lis knows the handwriting is on the wall this day. and whenever a fellow ia getting beaten be abuses somebody: and when 1 feel that I am on the strong current that leads to victory, I can afford to be in a good hnmor. Let them then do the abusing, and not me. I have lived loo long not to have learned that kind words, persuasion and the power of reason are stronger than vile, blackguard, rnfflanly epithets leveled at my fallow men. 8o I say to my Independent brother, coming back to the point I was making a moment ago, I am here to reason with you; 1 am here to reason with my Republican friend as kindly as with my Democratic friend. And when my Independent friend says that there is no difference between the promises of the Democratic party and those of tbe Republican party, I am here to answeron that subject. Let n see. The Independent voter is the most disgusted voter in the United States, with the presen t state ol things. He know that he can not elect Peter Cooper and he thinks that the election of Hayes would only be to prolong the devil's reign of Grant's administration, and he is afraid that Tilden and the Democracy won't do what he want done, and so he is in tbe worst fix of all. THE PARTIES CONTRASTED. I am here to talk to you a little on that subject and show yoa the wide difference I thank God for the difference between the position ol the Democratic party and the Republican party; between what the Dnmocatic party promises yoa and yonrs, and what the Republican party offer you for tbe fu ture. All that yoa complain of belongs to the Republican party. All the corruption of the government belongs to the Republican party. They have had the responsibility of the government, aud how have they met it? Every law upon the statuta books that oppresses labor and fosters wealth and idle untaxed capital has it paternity io the Bepublican party. Let n enter into judgment here to-day and see where responsibilities belong. My independent-voting friend, all yot r evil, all youi afflictions that you complain ol came, not from the Democratic party, but from tbe Kepublican party. Hence you can not say what we would do it we bad tbe power. We have not bad It yet, except to a small amount, and I will show you bow we have used it directly before I sit down; but yoa know what the Republican party will do if it is kept in power. Yoa do know what It wilt dc by what it has done, and yoa have nothing to hope for by helping to continue it In power four years long r. Tou have nothing to expect from it; yoa ktow by what it ha done what it will contiuue to do. You do not ki.ow yet what we will do, but I will show yon very plainly directly. We have agreed that a change is desirable in thi government, Why, my good friends of the county of Bartholomew, the Republican party don't condescend to promise yoa a change, let alone giving evidence that it will keep the promise, it don't make the promise. And now a word to yoa, hoping, doubting, flattering, distnrbed Republican friends of mine. Yoa have been saying to your wife that is where a man first places hi entire confidence you have been telling her "Ye, I gue I'll vote for Hayes for he will be better than Grant. I don't like Grant at all; I don't like his administration, and between yoa and me things are going bad. and I think It will be better If we will jnst stick to our own party, and we will leform our selves by voting for Hayes. Reform Is needed, a change is needed, and I goes we will elect Hayes, that we will improve lo the future on Grant' administration. The Republican party in national convention at Cincinnati resolved as follow : WHAT THE PLaTtORM BAYS. "The national administration merit commendation for its honorable work In the management ot foreign and domestic affairs, and President Grant deserve the continuance and hearty gratitude of the American people for hi patriotism and bis immense service in war and in peace." Well, what ha been good enough for them to endorse after eight years are passed will be good enough for four year to come, won't It? Laughter. If I should sit down by yoa and tell you, "Look here, my good friend, everything you have done for the last eight year merit commendation and praise and approbation, and I believe yoa " have done right," would yon expect that I would advise you to go on doing tbe same way for the next eight year if yoa had the chance? The Republican party say that Grant' administration i all right; it i just what they wanted; and ou their platform they nominated General Hayes, and propose to elect him, and keep en doing the same way. They do not promise any change; they do not even pretend that any change is wanted. The Belknap and the Babcock aud the Schencks, and all the rest of tbem are just what they want; and they say there 1 nothing in his administration except to commend and to praise. I want to show you that the Republican party here in Indiana even went further than the national platform. Here ia Indianapolis, on the 22d day of February last the Republican party, in state convention, resolved a follow: "The administration of General Grant command onr fullest confidence sad approbation, our respect for him a a man of unspotted honor, a a statesman of wisdom and prsdenee, and onr admiration of his high qualities an a soldier remain unabateded; and we especially commend him for the example h will leave to his successor of removing from office those of bis own appointment when be baa found them to be unfaithful, and of causing those who are proved dishonest to le prosecuted to that no guilty man can escape. BOW THE RADICAL REFORM THEMSELVES. This means Brlstow, who ! the only man who dared to do this, and be was tbe first man that Grant removed, and the Republican convention commends him for removing men from office ef his own appoint, ing. The Only one they have removed have been those tbat were trying to d.i something in the right direction. I have read these planks tor the purpose of showing yoa - that " the Republican party in presenting General Hayes don't , even pretend that hi election 1U be a departure from Grantism and Grant's administration. It is to bold you ricidly to the men who have controlled .Urant'a administration. Morton, Logan, Conkling, and that class of men will control Gen. Hayes if be should be elected, lie I a man, doubtless, of pcvraooal integrity. I know him. I served la Congres with bim, snd I have not one word to say against hi personal honor; yet hs is the smallest and weakest of men, intellectually considered, that ever was thought of In connection with the presidency of the United btate. He would be a mere child In the hands of these great controlling spirits of the Republican party. 1 IHK FINANCIAL QUESTION. Now, gsntlamsn, I have told yoo, snd I stick to my text tbat I intend t point out the wide diflsr esc between aha two purtiea new "before the' country. , The Republican party has endorsed the past, and promised so chasge. Let as look st some features of tbe financial legislation. One great issue is, for iostaaoa, . the- - act of 100, boldly chugtfr the road - pointed J out by - law foi the payment of oar public debt, by one enactment repealing tpxa distinct statutes that provided for the payment of atleast two-third of tbe pabliedebtin legal tender, consolidating the whole debt as a debt to be paid ia gold It added SM0.000 to the burden of the people. 1 never Intend to say tbat I Indorse tbl legislation or the author of such a BBoasirou rubbery. After this act of purely Bepublican origin aad execution, we find In February 1873, an act surreptitiously snd by frsnd passed la couoection with a bill of different typ a provisos" a tilting dowa ' th ilver dollar a legal tender. The ailver mines were becoming very productive, and silver beam lass valuuble a a treclons metal than gold. Then tltt U.i.iU)lJrs ui ywLUc eretiitors aaÜ they mutt
have gold, that ilver would not do. They bad already rt fused paper. They allowed silver to be legal
tender lor nve dollars, but larger debt mast be paid in gold. iet as see what was the next step they took. On the 1st of January they passed what was known ' THE RESTJHPTIOIf ACT. What was that? It was a proclamation that on the 1st day of January, 187S, now a little more than two years in advance of us, the paper money should bo longer be legal tender, and then, with ilver out of iuo mua paper no longer legal tender, every debt in the land over $5 would have to be paid in gold alone. W hen the Democratic party met In Et Louis we bad these and other question to confront The speaker here argued that this resumption of specie payment should be left to the natural law of trade; that we would be doing well to make some ad vance toward reform and resumption by 1879, but mat is impossible to resume at once. At St. Loui we said that we would not submit to the contraction of the currency; to coerce and force the specie resumption upon the country before it was ready for it. We declared In favor of tbe repeal of the resumption set. We declared it a hindrance to resumption. How? We pointed ont tbst resumption ought to be brought about by economy and th stopping of plunder, and tbe laying aside of public money against tbe day of resumption. This is the doctrine of the 8t. Louis platform. If that law should stand as it doee stand as yet, and tbe 1st day of Januarr, 1879. should be ushered In with a law compelling eve y body to redeem bis outstanding obligation in gold coin, it will be tbe most woeful day that ever dawned upon this land. When the sun of that morning rises In tbe Eastern sky it will climb to the senith over the saddest nation that it ever looked down upon. We have declared against tbe Bepublican party for this resumption act. The Democratic House declared against it also, and even though it remain bv, the responsibility of it rest with the Republican party. The Democratic House of Representatives passed a bill to restore the silver dollar to its place, but the Senate true to monopoly and oppression fever touched the bill. I hsve other reasons wby you can trOst the Democratic party. For the part eleven years the appropriations have been growit.g bigger aad bigger, antil this much abused and traduced Democratic Hoiseof Representative assembled. Morton says it ia disloyal and made up of ex -con federates. I will tell yon what it nas done in spite of tbe Senate. It haa lessened tbe burden ef the people t ;o,000,(Xi0 in one session. The appropriations are 8.0,XK),0U0 less than they were last year under Bepublican rnle. , Ask me for reasons WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTT a against the corrupt Republican party ? Why in that measure I have thirty million reasons and over, and each one of them is worth a dollar. Applause. Sly Republican friend, why bat riot yonr party done anything of this kind? The oeor.li have elven us a chance to show them what we would do. They have let us sit down In one branch of Congres with a majority to try ns before they allowed ns to go further. The first thing we did was to investigate the raecals, and make them howl until the whole land is filled with their bellowirjg; and the nett thing was to tnrn around and trne to onr Demo cratic instinct of economy, cut down the expenses; cut down Robeson in the navy yard, with bis ships lying around doing nothing; cut down the army: cut down foreign missions and foreign consulates, welldressed loafers going to stay abroad at high prices, with nothing to do but drink wine, as my friend h.re suggest; cut down clerks' hire and the number of clerk. If it had not been forthe Republican Senate, the reduction of expenses would have been $5o,OiO,000 instead of ?0,0o0,0"). It was doing well, but it would have done better if the Senate had been Democratic. and if the president had been Democratic. Come np, with the help of the Lord, against the mighty, my friends, and let us have a Democratic president next time, and get a Democratic Senate. Applause. We will have relorm, we will have relief, we will have deliverance from the burdens that oppress and curse the land. THE GOLDEN CALF. I know by the look of thU audience that yoa are all readers of tb Bible tbst great old book beside which all othei book are valueless. Y ou i e member the wanderir.pl and sufferings of the children ot Israel fair escape from bondage a bondage not mach worse than your. They wandered 40 yeara in the wildernea,snd you have wandered about 16 ever since the Republican party came Into power. I Applause They got discouraged and worshipped a golden calf. Yes, and they ask us to-day to do tbe same. And at Ust Mose died on Mount Pisgah, after being in sight of the land of Cnaan, aad the angels buried him, and then the people were more discouraged thaa ever. and they had a mind to settle down in tbe wilderne s. A to tb land or Canaan, tbey said, wnat do we know about It we don't know whether we will be any better off theie or not. We don't know but that the people theremight kill ns. We had tetter pot up with .tb evil we have than fly to other that we know not of. Joshua, yoa remember, sent messengers over the land to see what kind or a land It was. SENT PPIT8 OUT so tbst they could tell tbe people when tbey came back whether the land was worth struggling for snd after s while the messengers come back with bands and arm full. Tbey returned with the ripe grape in their hand, and showed by what they brought that it waa the land of corn and wine, of milk and honey; tbe land not merely of a promise, but a land ot promise fulfilled and of abundanceto be enjoyed. So this year it is in the power of Democratic speakers to come before you, not asking yon to take oar word merely, bat we come with tbe resumption act repealed, with the silver dollar restored, with J-S0, 000,000 of hard taxes taken from your shoulder a the fruit the promise of deliverance that the Democratic party extend to yoa if you enter Into the promised land with n toa full and complete Democratic victory. Applaaee. Help ns go there. Help us get the Senate, help u elect Tilden, and these $30.000,000 will swell to three time thirty; the resumption act will fade away, the silver dollar will be restored; dishonest men purged from office, and a purified, newly risen GLORIOUS RE ILLUMINATED REPUBLIC once more challenge the admiration of the world We have a right to ask yoa to believe us becaus we came not empty, but bearing fruits. Christian tbst bsvs long prayer and sour face on Sunday, and do not live their Christianity on week day, I have bat little use fcr; and o it would be if the Democratic party, having had the chance to do something and bad done nothing but make loud pretenses, it would hsve no claims upon your confidence. But it has not been so. There are one or two other thing connected with thi mach abased Congress. Disloyal, is It? Well, if tbe rebel keep me from psylng taxes to those thst steal st Washington, I will like it sny how. (Laughter. Tbey aay there are 60 men that were in the Confederate service now in Congress. What of it? I he theory of thi government Is tbat it la a government of states. Each date has the right of representation. The people of each sti.t bas the ripht to elect their representatives to suit themselves. They have elected tiieir foremost men. Morton and Harrison and that kind of men are mad because they did not elect negroes or scalawags. Do vou suppose that MORTON AND BAKRI'ON AND THEIR FOL LOWERS are dissatisfied because a man gets back into public life with - blood on his hands, blood of the war? That is not it. Why the guerilla, John 8. Moaby, killed Union soldier during the entire wsr, snd who, if be bsd been captured during the war, would hare been denied the treatment due to a prisoner of war. Tbe war is over, and be bat Joined the Kepublican party and tils sins are att forgiven. Laughter. It i not because i hey bate disloyalty It is not because they hate them for being in tha rebellion. They hate them for the same reason that they hate yon and nie because we vote the Democratic ticket, aud if 1 or any of yon would join the Republican party to-night, there would be a wild hallelujah over It. They would say, how good this man has slwsys been, snd we bsvr Jut fonnd it out. Laughter. My friends they have got another charge agaiust the Confederate Congress, as they oall tba Democratic House of Rep. rtseiitstive. Tbey ssid thst they turntd oat all the Union soldiers that wer employes about the House of Representatives and put in ez-Uonfederata soldiers. That Was a first rate lie for awhile. Il traveled aoarly as fast aa ttoidsmHh Maid trotted far a season. But when tbe statist! ;s are examined and made out It la found that nn ir tha present Demoaratie . House of Representative there are thi hour employed twice as many men who were in tbs Union srmy tbss there were employed by the last Republicas House of Representatives. Disloyalty! 1 will tell yoa another thing. THIS DHLOTAL CONGRESS haa dons toward yoar soldiers. Owing to the con tiiiuauce of the war and the manner of enlisting recruit there was great Inequality in the amount of b unties which the 'soldiers received for their service. 8ume men who went In the last three month n many Instances got three times aa mach as tbe veteran who went in upon the firing of Sumter sod taid until the apple tree at Appomattox This yesrs ago the Republican House and .""nats psssed a law totquaUzs lbs bounties, whereby yoa tvldurs
I that went in first and fought longest and hardest ' would get aa much a those who went In
lost. It passed both houses, and Grant, who de ! serves commendation, snd approbation, snd laudation, and any other atioa you can think or, vetoed this soldiers bill. He vetoed tbe bill sod there it lay until thi disloyal house met last December; and during the session the Democrat In Congress passed thi bill over again. Tbe Laraars, the Hookers, and that class of men voted for the bill doing Justice to tbe Union soldier, giving him bis due out of the public treasury. Tbey sent it to the Senate, and thi ssme Senste thst did once before pse the bill was too cowardly to pas It again, for fear of 'another veto, and ihere it died, so that yoa SOLDIERS DON T GET YOUR BDUNTI S THIS YEAR. Ton will get them after awhile. I will tell yon when. It will be when Samuel J. Tilden is president It will be when we have both branches of Congress, the Senate as well aa the House, then yoa will get your bountie. And yet this I the disloyal House; this is di-loyal Democracy. 1 sometime feel my Indignation aroused a little - when I am discussing tbia question of loyalty. These men never knew what loyalty to the government meant. Morton never knew what loyalty to the gov. ernment meant. I will tell yoa why. He don't know what the government is. He thinks tbat Grant and hi cabinet and a few men around Washington there are the government. But the Democratic party think the people are the government, and whoever is loyal to tbe people taking care of the people, saving the people their taxes, he it I that 1 - loyal to the government. That is the government of our forefather. The old federalist thought there were a few that were dressed up in fine clothes that wer to rule you. And this Republican party is the great grandson of the federal party according to my simple Democratic views. If Ben Hill or aa) body else is faithful to the interests of the laboring masse of this country he can not be false to tbe country. Those are my doctrines, and if those people in tbs Sooth come up sod do their duty snd puuiBh rogues in high places snd reduce the taxes, are yoa to turn around and curae them? A voice, "Never.") This campaign is a very strange one, my friends, HAVE . YOU READ K1LPATRICK 8 LETTER" Laughter I don't use profane language In the presence of an audience, but I heard a good while ago, and recollection U revived now, that when Sherman started to the sea he telegraphed back tbat be wanted some fellow to lead tbe cavalry and any fool would do, and tbey sent Kilpatrick the next morn ing. Laughter. But fool as hs is to write let te't of that kind, he had been in consultation with Re publican politician here at Indianapolis before he wrote that letter in which he said a bloody shirt campaign and money and Indiana is safe, and a financial campaign and no money and we are beaten. That is to say, a campaign without money to corrupt' the ballot-box and they are beaten. Well, I know they are, and their campaign as portrayed by Kilpatrick reflects the minds of the politicians of Indianapolis. He was the mere donkey that brayed it ont. Laughter and applause. That letter tells yon wnat kind or a canvass we are to have; it is to be a canvass of hate on one hand and corruption on the other. They come and ay bate your neighbor and corrupt him with a bribe. Christ says love thy neighbor as thyself. Morton says hate yonr neighbor hate the South, althongh they niaj do the beet they can, bate tbem. O what a hideous and dim nable object such a maa as tbat is. Wby the angels in heaven Instead of weeping for him would turn their face for fear they would see him. Tbe devil in hell would not claim kin with such a char acter as that. I commend Morton, Harrison and Kilpatrick and all the rest of them that have nothing but burning in their beans to tbe teuder mercies of the Young Men Christian Association. Laughter. I don't know any other organized pray lug band tlat is ready for use, and they need praying for right now. There must come a time when we have peace. There must come a time when we bare fraternity, and these men that stand in tbe way of it year after year are odi ous in tbe gbt of God. You tell me there sre TROUBLES IN THE SOUTH". Yes, and there sre troubles In the North. And if I desired to do (o, I could (tend here snd paint mob after mob, vigilaut committee after vigilant commit tee that have stained the soil of Indiana, Ana you know it. Where men were put to death without trial and without judge and without Jury. Theoi.il of the Northern state a well at the Bontbern (täte ha been stained with tbe blood of crime. Philadelphia, Boston, tbe New England state, all present human nature In its original type. There I no perfection lu thi world. Crime will prevail everywhere snd be st sn sversge. And those riot tbst sre sooKen oi in tne bouiu, now strange it is tbst they only come Jnst before sn electloii is spprosching, some scalawag carpet-bagger white mes, meaner snd baser tbsn sny blsck man, stir up the untutored, ignorant black men to riot o that they will be injured and political capital made by it. Let me ask yoa a plain question. What advantage is it that these thing take place? Who hail tbem as political capital? The Republican party- not th Democratic pany. Ton and I live by peace and law and order. The Republican party ia tbe North lives by disorder, by riot snd by mar der wherever is takes place ia the Sooth. These rl ot slwsys tske place in Republican state of tbe Mouth, not ia the Democratic. Where 1 one In old Virginia with a Democratic state administration? Where i one in Tennessee? Where 1 one In Georgia. But go to poor, cursed, bankrupt, plundered, torn, dishonored South Carolina, with her Kepublicaa governor, ber Republican Legislature, ber Republican judges, her Republican sheriffs, her negro magistrates with sll the power in the bands of the Republicans, it is there that these negro riot are brought about jnst in the nick of time. If those men desire to punish disorder, tbey have the power to do it. Chamberlain is the governor; the Judge are Republican; the sheriffs are Republican. Where thi last Hambuig trouble took place the nefroes are the judges and the justices of tbe peace. Let them bring these men up and punish tbem if they are guilty. I would help hang them myself if they were guilty. When I see these Republican officials there. Instead of doing their duty, rushing to Wash, ington City and calling for troops, then I know that it is a political movement. Then I know the whole thing originated in a desire to inflame tbs Northern mind. What does it prove? It proves that after eleven year of experience the R-publican party cannot keep the peace in tbe Southern states without all tbe powers of the government st their back. Stand aside then and let us try it. We cannot do any worse than yoa have done. Yoa yourself have the law In yoar hands to protect the negroes snd you don't do It. OUR CANDIDATFS My friends, a word or two about oar candidates. Yoa may ssy that sll I hsve stated Is true, bat have yoa a candidate who is entitled to tbe title of reformer? Who ia Samuel J. Tilden t I know him to 1 a man of ability, a man of iron nerve, whose act speak for themselves. Two years ago be vn nominated for governor of Newlork, and was op posed by Governor Dix wi. b bis war record, and tbe prestige of having commanded tlat "if any man attempts to pull down the flair, about him on tbe spat;" yet be wa elected by fifty thousand majority. A p. Dlause.l But Morton say he wa a seceenlonist. Had the old Empire State 50,noO seceeh majority, or don't tbey know tbe man aa well as Morton know, him ? He ts Sil Old msn snd lived there during tbe war, b. fore and since; so it stands to reason that ths people of that State should know him ss well as Morton. Then they aay that he was in complicity with Tweed, who had organised an official riug for tbe purpose of plundering tbe tax payers, ana ti.is too in tne icv of the fact lhat Tweed a at brought to Mai orit-inally on the personal affidavit of Samuel J. Tilden, who broke tbe ring Into a thousand fragment and reformed tbe city goyrnm.-Lt, and purified the public service. It was then tbat the people oi tne cute taw they needed his service. They had been paying sixtee a million dollars taxes annually, and in lees than two years hs hss reduced tbe burden one-half. He also broke the canal ring, ths most powerful and corrupt organisation In tue State. Where I th Republican that haa done so much as he In tbe Interest of reform ? W saw that be was a reformer and we nominated him for presideut. Cheers, REWARD OF RADICAL BBFCRMBR8. Yoa bad a man In 'your cabinet, that for a year and a . half past was spoken of as the representative spirit of yonr administration. He made the charga upon tba whisky tbWvea of ht. Louis, of Chicago, and of Indians and elsewhere. Benjamin H. Brist" w, tbs secretary ol tbe trsssnry, was brought forwsrd by tha Republican party as a candidate tor th presidency because he had indicated hi purpose to reform and parity the corrupt public service ot tbe time. Wss be nominated for ths presidency, ss we nominated onr reformer? Reformers were no very high st Cincinnati. They atrouuted to nothing. Not only tbat. The Republicans did not n miusts tbeir reformer, a we did ours. Bnt their reformer has sines been panis lied for being a reformer; for dariug to allow himself to ba offered aa a candidate for the presidency. On the other band we said to Tliden a I said awhile ago, "you bsve been faithful over the city of New York, yoa have been faithful over tbe state of New York, come up a little higher snd we will give yon he whole country to it v." Tbe Republicans said to bristow, "Yoo bsvs mortified snd humiliated ashy pretending that yon are better than we are, we doat
want sny reformers, we are not looking for reformers, we want the same old thing we had. we endorse Grant snd hi administration.'' And lo Bristow, and Yaryan, and Wilson they said, "get your hats and take np yoar beds and walk." Applause That is tberpirit that prevails in their party. My friends the spirit of justice and right is opon our side. They are in the bonds of iniquity. Let ns shoulder to shoulder in the good caue. W have a good platform. We have good principles. We have good candidates. It is Democratic from end to tad. I wss for Mr. Hendricks. 1 worked for him day snd night. The convention decreed otherwise and placed him a s candidate for ths second place in tbe gift ot the American people, and did it in s manner and under circumstances so comdimeutary, that Indianians csm boms from St. Louis with no sense of defest in oar heartsr It is a gratification to know that at oue end of tbe ticket is s dieciple of the Silas Wright Democracy of New York, rocked In ths crsdle of Jefferson, who never knew anything but a Democratic impulse, and constroe tbe constitution from a Democratic standpoint; and at Ibe other end of the ticket is cur own beloved, our own true, tried and able son Thomas A..

W have, t ue to the Democratic cause, given you a son of the soil to vote for for governor James D.

It shall be my pride to deposit my vote for him. They talk about him wearins blue jeans some in Congres saying it was a badge to deceive. He had always worn blue Jeans, and when he went to Washinirton ba wore the same. He bas done bis duty. By his chairmanship on the committee on accounts, be haa saved over 30,000 to this people. I have heard much about the grangers; I have understood that it was sn organization to bring tbe laborng men together wiihout respect to party; I have heard that it was sn association to dignify the tillage of the soil. I have always sympathised with it in sll my speeches. Long before the granger movement wss heard of I contended that the farmers were the most neglected of sll clssses. We have given you a chance to select a ui n of unquestioned ability, and of stainless integrity, and of Roman simplicity of manner aad life. I thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Continuous cheering. Ibe Tribune's Simplicity. Nothing can be more amusing than the efforta of tbe New Turk Tribuoe totnrtber tbe election of Hajea and Wbeeler on high moral triccipLs.

Tbe Tribune says : A letter purport inj? tobe written by Gen.

The G neral (f the epistle is to be regarded as genuine), with aquiline glance, surveys the political field In Indiana, ana sees not only me rtgular enemy but a formidable party of Independents sufficiently numerous to defeat Gen.

Then, metaphorically speaking, he waves his cavair sword over his bead. ana cries out: "A Bloody ehlrt camiaUn with money, and Indiana Is safe; a financial campalgn,ana no m'-ne ,and we are bea en." It (Jener-1 Kilpa rick wrote this let ter, he evidently lanciea that Onvernor Hayes .s to be elected ss Gen ral Grant was reelected ; If he did not write the letter, the man who forged it saw clearly enough into what overthrow a recourse to the oid tactics might betray the Republican party.

This is an "Independent party" aliha vengeance! It this lettfr be a forgery we fear tbat It Is tot-tberelsalea-on to be drawn from It: for It points out Indirectly the way precisely in which the supporters of Gov.
