proposes to mtinUiri nnd enforce en-force constitutional amendments with all powers of the national tjovcn ment to the end that every man poor or rich white or black may secure in tho full enjoyment

ot proper age may receive instruction instruc-tion in the prirmry branches of education educa-tion and thus give to the poor as well as the riGht a fair chance in life so that the opportunities to win an honorable pcs ton in life may not bo confined to any favored or fortunate clas Enthusiast applause I believe the republican party i the only patty in this country that bus the courage and ability t

great change that had taken place since 1877 when the democrat eluded senate from the great central ELites whose c n trol passed from the had of repubiicins und even Illinois sent the independent He vindicated tho Presidents southern policy De aid it has been more criti cizsd than any act of his administration trton aid said he believed it was the sober judgment today that it was wise and fr the best interests of both whites and blacks Keferrinir to the desperate und dangerous c ndition of finances three years pgo when the hard tinrs had deprived de-prived men of work encouraged tramps riot and violence he said paper was be low padistrust and idleness were uppermost up-permost and 4M per cent bonds wele with difficulty sold at par now tho before be-fore idle men are busy at mln money a

heldI is frvidently believed that Oregon and Indiana would have gone republcan if i they had had elections and that in a lair election five southern state would give a republican maj irity These are the changed conditions under which the campaign is entered He did not attri buto it all to the policy of the repub rpub ican party for providence giving bounteous boun-teous crops ard a wi lingness to work aided their policy without which the republican re-publican party could not have succeeded If democratic idas bed prevailed our 1 credit would be languid industry flag fa ging and currency depr cut d The question now is whether the democratic po icy shall upplant the republican A democratic administration would in the course of one administration change th supreme bench to a democratic body He alluded to the hold which the south I had upon the entire government as I dia I raco which would read strn ely in history I his-tory I they carry the next election tr d gain complete control tb n the re bellion of61 is a success if not they will submit to equal rights of nil cass ° ss I every ci zen in tho south as in the north must be secure in the enjoyment of nort and pout cal rights and every power ol government must bo exercised to this end Loud and long continued ap plaue This issuo is broadly deSned and the only question is whether i hill bo now settled once for all al or whether it hal by ceaseless agita lion continue to disturb our pol tics The south never can and never ought top to-p while the great body of her labor ng population is hold in subjection and dtprived as is the case now of rights plainly given them by the Constitution Thl north is growing and the south will decying until this issue is settled as all such issues mu t be in a republic in f vor of the full
