ipeccli iu Dosten,
"All history teaches that long continu
ance in power hreeds corruption in the ad
ministration of governmental affairs. The
corruption always seeks perpetuatieu and
fears tjehange of administration, lest its
wickedness may be detected, even if net
punished.
"This, indeed, has become axiomatic,
and has se impressed itself upon our people
that a tradition, claimed te be almost a
law, finds itself iu American politics that
no president, however wise, great or geed,
can be safely trusted with inore than a
second term in office. If no man can be
great, wise and geed enough te wield power
longer than a second term, hew great,
wise and geed ought a party composed of
men presumably much less wise and geed
te be which seeks te be kept in pewer for
a fifth term in time of peace. "What
should the thinking voter say te such a
claim for renewed power by such a party
if the party has declared in the most
solemn manner,throughmestof its leading
journals and all its se-called reformers
that its own administration had been cor
rupt under one whom they admitted te be
its greatest and best man, that his officers
and subordinates se adminstcrcd their
ollice as te lead te widespread defalcation.
peculation and abuse ei public trusts?
"If this remedial frequent change of
officers and party administration deemed
under all political systems which have
either in form or fact ripened into consti
tutional government, se necessary for the
purpose of preserving purity of administra
tion, and for resisting the tendency of all
governments towards the despotic use of
power is ever te be applied in this coun
try, ought it net te be enforced new.' The
question will recur te the elector. What
vital measure of polity must I give up;
what great guarantee of the perpetuity of
the irevcrnmcnt must I weaken ; what
danger te the safety of the republic de I
invoke, te obtain this change of adminis
tration which is in itself of necessity a
great reform ? If the answer shall be, Ne
e.ic of all these is at issue in this canvass,
is net the necessity for this reform of it
self sufficient te the citizen le determine
his vote? Having thought out these ques
tions for myself with a careful, and I trust
a candid desire te ascertain my duty as a
citizen having put aside, as far as possi
ble te lTuman infirmity, all hope, or wish
even, for political preferment which might
swerve my judgment, I have come here te
meet you, fellow-citizens, face te face, te
give you the result of that thought and
deliberation en my part, se that theso
with whom I have been accustomed te act
in political matters shall understind and
apprcciafe some of the reasons, at least,
which induce me te give my voice and vote,
te avail what they may, in favor of a
change in the party policy that has governed
the United States for the last four years.
"That my words may have all the weight
they can, or ought te have, let me premise
by saying that 1 am net, and shall net be,
a candidate or aspirant for any office, elec
tive or appointive, at this election, or un
der the incoming administration, se that
my vote will be the free-will offering
of' patiietic duty when it shall be
given te my comrade-in-arms in
the war for the preservation of the
union, the tried and loyal soldier and
patriotic chieftain, General Hancock. In
doing se I shall neither detract from nor
add one jet or tittle te that declaration -of
principles which lias been my gtuuc inwo inwe
litical life e'".-rArnsN equal "powers,"
equal burdens, equal privileges and equal
protection te all men by law under the
government. The realization of these is
true democratic government. They arc
republicanism. Without their fulfilment
this republican government cannot be pre
served, and without them it would net be
worth preserving. I have examined with
care the platform of principles enunciated
by the Democratic party at Cincinnati,
and I find nothing therein te contravene
them. Indeed, they are mere distinctly
set forth therein than in the platform of
the Chicago convention. Neither of them
gees se far as I could desire in specific
declaration of the right of every man te
vote in the election of his rulers and te be
represented in his sevcrnmcut simply be
cause he is a man ; but in this rcgaid even
the platform of the Cincinnati convention
is the mere specific.
"I may be told that te find whether
this, the highest and most important te
republican democracy of all rights univer
sal suffrage is te be assured, that I am te
leek te the acts and net te the platforms
of parties.
"Be it se. Before examining that ques
tion let us carefully distinguish between
what is done by great political parties and
the action of individuals of thec parties,
and I fail te sec in any law, constitutional
or legislative, any action of any poitien of
the Democratic party in any state, North
or Seuth, which discriminates against the
right of all men te vote ; except, pcihaps,
in a single state where taxation is made a
prerequisite qualification of the voter. But
docs it lie in the mouth of a Massachusetts
Republican te raise that objection te the
Democratic state of Georgia ? Docs it lie
in the mouth of the Republican state of
Rhede Island, with its property qualifica
tion of the voter, te arraign anybody upon
the question of discrimination against man
hood suffrage ?
"Te the credit of Mns.ichu.sctls be it
said, nearly thirty years age, under a Dem
ocratic administration, she passed an effec
tive law requiring the use of a secret bal
let, by which a man could vote without em
ployer or neighbor knowing hew he voted
te protect her humble citizens against the
influences and intimidations of bad men.
"And later still, she has passed another
law, leveled at the same abuse. But, in
spite of all, within twelve months it has
been proven before a congressional com
mittee of investigation that a convocation
of some of our manufacturers and business
men was liad by a federal officer te devise
ways and means for 'civilized bull-dezlnir '
by which voters in Massachusetts could be .
kept from the polls, or made te deposit a
ballet net of their free choice. , The insti
gators of these practices against the free
dom of the ballet in 3Iassachusctts we re

that without prompt, vigorous, loyal, cour

Hancock, and a long roll of ether heroic
names which will ceme te every man's
thought that I might recite, had net steed
by the Union, drawn their swords and
marched te the rescue of the government,
de you believT it would have been
saved by the present stay-at-home
senators and representatives of Mas
sachusetts, net ene of whom did go
te the war, even after Massachusetts Dem
ocrat, showed thcmthc way, remaining at
home in safety, se that their ranks, undi
minished by disease or the bullet, are able
te fill all the prominent civil offices both
in the state and federal governments, with
net a soldier, cither Republican or Demo
cratic, among them. But I need net cite as
examples of the fealty and devotion of the
Democracy of the North te the flag and
constitution these great and illustrious
names. Loek at the rank and file of our
armies! They were as largely recruited
from the Democratic as from the Repub
lican party. Fer the correctness of this
asscitien let me speak of my own knowl
edge. I marched te the Gulf with a New
England division, containing 0,000 men,
and there could net have been 500 men in
that division who had ever voted any ether
than the Democratic ticket. They came
back voting for the Union for which they
had fought, ami they have been voting in
the same direction since, and will continue
se te vote when thev vote with the De
mecracy for Hancock, by whose side tney
fought.
"Ge te your soldiers' homes where the
shattered and warwern veterans are col
lected te the number of some six thou-s-and,
and you will find their votes have of
late been largely for the Democracy, where
they have been permitted te vote by the
laws of the state.
" In saying this I by no means detract
from the patriotism and zeal of the rank
and file of the Republican voters who steed
shoulder te shoulder with their Democratic
brethren for the preservation of the Union.
I pay, and have at all times paid, just
tribute te their geed qualities as citizens
and soldiers, and I never have undertaken
te discriminate between soldier comrades
in a partisan sense mere than I de new.
" I admit freely the fact that there were
mere Republican than Democratic officers
in the volunteer armies of the United States
railnnr. iroed men and true, who arose
from the lower te the higher grades of
military rank by their heroism and devo
tion te their country's cause.
" The reason for this is quite obvieus:
all the governors of the Northern states
were Republicans. They appointed all the
regimental officers, and therefore they ap
pointed most largely their Republican
friends. But the Democratic soldier, when
he enlisted patriotically, appointed himself
a private.
" Yes, my ceinrauss, whether you wcrj
Republicans or Democrats, and whether
you arc new Republicans or Democrats,
whatever tickets you may vote, let any
body of men undertake te disrupt this
glorious Union of ours, whether from the
North or the Seuth, or the East or the
West, with what there are left of our di
minished ranks, wc will inarch again under
the leadership of our old commander, Gen
eral Hancock, and give another lessen te
the stay-at-homes in patriotism and devo
tion te the cause of our country. Hancock
(7cnt then. In his letter of acceptance
he says it new, and who shall dare doubt
his pledged honor te the nation?
"It is claimed that it is necessary te
keep the Republican party in power for
the better protection of the negre in the
Seuth. If that were true. I ..would pause
' irn
:?u?Jh'M!AimultyTcfore I should de any
thing t hinder the success of the Repub
lislfti
lican party But can the Republican
administration protect the Southern color
ed man in all his rights, and will they se
de ? Since the war closed, for sixteen
years the Republican party have had ab
solute control of the executive department
and, until the last Congress, of the legis
lative department of the government, and
most of the time by a two-thud majority.
Has that party given protection te the
negre iu the sense in which they put the
necessity for se doing before the people?
Their very campaign cry is an admission
that they have net se done. If they can
not or will net de it in sixteen years, hew
much longer shall wc trust them with the
power in order that they may de it? If
at the end of sixteen years they claim that
they must be continued in power four
years longer that they may de it, hew
long shall we, who have some convictions
as te the misconduct of the party in ether
regards as well as in this, put up with all
the ether shortcomings of the Republican
party in order te have them fulfil their
premises, se often solemnly made
and as religiously breken ? I un
hesitatingly declare that at the close
of the "war and during the pcricd
of reconstruction I was one of these
who believed stringent measures necessary
for the protection of the newly enfran
chised colored citizen in the Seuth. I was
of this opinion in 187(5, four years age, and
fought the presidential campaign of that
year upon that issue only. I was in earn
est. I desired laws te be passed that
should protect every man everywhere in
his rights as a voter and a citizen. But
the first act. as wc have seen, of Mr.
Hayes, acquiesced in by his party, was te
abandon all possible claim of right of in
terference in the Seuth in behalf of the
negre te remove the few troops, that
were theic, if any were necessary, and te
take pains te f.irn ever the governments
of Louisiana and Seuth Carolina te the
Democratic paity, destroying the govern
ments elected by Republican votes there,
which, if they were net duly and legally
elected, then Mr. Hayes hitnself was net
duly and legally elected. The assertion of
the one fact must be the assertion of the
ether. The assertion of title te his office
must be the assertion of title te the Re
publican state government of Louisiana.
S Tlie dpiiinl nf flm (dnntiiin f (!nnnmr
Packard te office was the denial of the
election te office of Governer Hayes. In
deed, Packard had some half a score
thousands mere of a majority than Hayes
had.
" Nothing has been done nay, nothing
has been attempted te be done te afford
protection te the negre in the Seuth, or
indeed anybody else there. Indeed, these
states in the Seuth were pwt in condition
se that nothing could be done by the
federal government. Nay, all, both white
ami black Republicans, have had no re
cognition at the hands et the administra
tion, except the few men who were en
gaged in the false and fraudulent counting
of electoral votes in the several states. In
fact, Mr. Hayes, after his experience with
them, would net admit there were enough
Republicans honest enough te take the
census, and his party new are finding fault
with the enumeration made by his ap
pointees. These facts are tee notorious
for cemuent even, much less denial. Am
1, a fncndx of the negre, bound te fight
lethcr car'-5Jgn m his behalf as a Re
publican simply te sce him abandoned and
myself cheated once raore ? What guaran
tee have I that General Garfield will take
a different view of this question from Gov Gov
ereor Hayes? They are both from Ohie,
and each has been and is a supporter of the
ether. Why are.Bepablicans te be deemed
te have abandoned their political princi
ples, and gene ever te the enemies of the
country, because we propose te vote for a
Union general for president, while Mr.
Hayes, who has been the moral and official
head of the Republican party, second only
te President Woolsey, of Yale, can with
applause appoint a Confederate general te
a cabinet office? I fail te sce any distinc
tion between the two acts in any aspect,
save that we are going te vote for a crcat
general and Hayes appointed a little one.
New, then, it is because I am a friend of
the negre, it is because I desire te stand for
him, it is because I desire te de all that in
me lies te aid him in the difficult position
in which he is placed by the attainment,
se unprepared, efhis citizenship, that I
new propose te act with the Democratic
party. They at least can protect him, and
I believe will se de.
"Believing, as I de, that with the elec
tion of General Hancock race collisions
will be at an cud ; knowing, as I de, that
he has the executive pewer, determination
and steadfastness in right that never has
faltered, I think I can trust him te see
that the premise of his letter of accept
ance, that the thirteenth, fourteenth and
iiftecuth amendments shall be earned out
in their letter and spirit, is filled.
"I freely confess te you that I desire te
be in such relations of political kindness
and courtesy with the Democratic party
that I may he permitted te point out in
behalf of the colored men what I deem
would lm r.n- tlin hest. interest of all and
What I doubt net will be their wish te de
in his behalf.
"But of one thing I am certain, that I
cannot be mere powerless for geed te the
colored Kice under General Hancock the
Democratic party holding the government
than I have been, and every ether friend
of the colored man has been, under the
administration of Rnthcifertl B. Hayes.
" The enlv ether reason given why the
Republican party should be continued in
power is the present prosperity of the
country, which, they de net explain hew,
is due te the legislation or administration
of the Republican party. Is this claim a
just and tenable ene ? Is net the exact
contrary the fact, that quite every busi
ness that could be affected by legisla
tien or administration is net new prosper
ous? Every business that could net
he affected by legislation or admin
istration is new prosperous. The
Almighty, in His beneficence te us,
has sent us the largest crops of all
kinds' of previsions for a scries of years we
ever enjoyed, and at the same time also
provided a market for the surplus of theso
crops amounting in a single item te nearly
200,000,000 bushels of wheat in Eurepe
by the failure of the harvest there. Had
the Republican party anything te de with
that? Yet the agricultural prosperity is
claimed for that party. The balance of
trade in our favor was due te that excess
of expert ever import. Is that due te the
Republican administration ? The fact that
nearly 0,000,000 bales of cotton have been
raised iu the Seuth this year, largely by the
labor of the colored men is that due te
the Republican party ? They admit they
have net, aud declared they could net, in
terfere willi them for the past four years
" They have the audacity te claim in the
Chicago platform that the Republican par
ty has raised the value of our paper cur
rency from 38 cents te par in geld. They
forget te tell us under what legislation the
greenback was brought down from par in
geld te 38.
" Is it net the fact that while reduction
from par in geld te 38 cents went en a
reduction the effect of the war wc had the
largest prosperity ; and while it was being
raised from 33 cents te par by their legis
latien we had a series ei ousmess ticpres-

party claim that bankrupt state of business
as a trophy of their legislation? It, indeed,
was from an act of legislation the re
sumption aet ; the prosperity was from an
act of Ged the crops.
"But, citizens of Massachusetts, Ictus
consider affairs a little nearer home, with
which we are better acquainted. Before
the advent of the Republican party into
power every river and harbor en our coast
was engaged iu ship building. It was a
vast and successful industry. New there
is net a single ship being built in Massa
chusetts and hardly a half-score of smaller
craft.
" Under Republican rule our commcrce
has been swept from the sea. We have
but a single line of steamships bearing our
flag en the Atlantic, and another en the
pacific ocean, te de all our freighting by
steam. Republican administration has
given up our trade with Seuth America.
The American flag is hardly seen en the
ocean. The pert of Bosten has net suffi
cient foreign commerce te give a decent
support toils small pilot force. Bosten is
losing its importance as a commercial city
because of Republican legislation and ad
ministration. Its standard insurance com
pany can find scarcely mere marine risks
than enough te pay its office rent. All
these facts the merchants of Bosten who
sit around me knew. And yet it is pro
posed that they shall still permit Republi
can administration te go en under which
this destruction of its interests is being ac
complished. "When the war closed nearly every one
