Political, But Mighty Good

The followlng extract from a recent speech delivered by Senator Sherman, of Oliio, Is worth republitfhing everywhere: There are twoother things yet I want to speak iibo-Jt before cloxinjr, tliough I have spoken now longer thuu I iuteded. Tliey turn us out of office. Well, sir, whenever the voice of the people says to tlie rrpublican party, "Surrender your Functtotll and turn tlioin over to the democratie or any other party," we obey, because it is the voice of the people. But wby were we turned out? what was the argument that led to the republican pirty being turned out of office? They wauted acbange! What kind of a change have tbey got? [Laughter.] Aie the times any easier? Mr. Hendricks, when lie was {foing aronnd last auminer, said: "It' you turn these republicana out and Kat ter the money now in the treasury you could buv two barrels of flour for every fainily. Have you got your barrels? Tiiey said they wauted to count the money ; and they huve CQUDted it, and lound every dollar there, even to the last cent. They wantcil to examine the books. They said an examiuation ot the books would put w lot ot república omoers on the road to the penileutiary. They have examined the books and not one single detaulter or criminal has been found in the república rauks. They said: "Turn the ras cals out! " and they are turuinjr the rascáis in Cleveland now bas more trouble to get rid of the penitentiary birds that have come in under a democratie administratiou than with all the republican rascáis that were ever found there. [Applause ] They were goiug to distribuí that $00, 000,000. But they haveu't distributed a cent, and day after day, tor nearly six moDths, they have hoarded more money in the treasury tban was every hoariied before. They said they would reduce the public debt, and they havent paid a single dollar out. Tliey have not done a single thing for good. What measure has been iidopted or hu beeu product-d by the democratie party that would tend to relieve the people. They broke down John RuftCQ - that gillant and noble Irialimau, who built up our navy - they broke hiindown by asystem of chicauery, of legal chiianery, that surpasses even belief. They have takeu away the carryiiijf of the mails from American sbips and turned them over to Enjrlish ships. They have done nothlng whatever to relieve or lighten the burdeus on the people or to make times easier. I trust times wil! be easier in tlie iliiH fruirsi of' pvtMit. bnt. it will_ „..i )o q. tlirouh any nrt or agflicy OI the democratie party. [Applause] Let me ask any democrat - and I hope there are a few here - what object has been 11ccomplished by brlngiuK tlie democratie party into power? ïou have triad it 'm the city, you have tried it In the state, and now you are commenclng to try it in the natlon. But I belk-ve yon will flnd the experiment the same all the way through; so that when the swecpstakes come three years henee you will all be willing to turn back the republican party into lts place of power and dignity. There was never in the history ot mankind a party that did more good for their people than the republican party in the United States.
