National Committee's Address

The Democratie National Committee bas issued the following address to the people : To the Democratie and Conservativo wters of the Country : - The election of President and Vieê President is now before you. State and local dissensiona are eliininated iYom the issnes of the day. The magnitude of a victory or a lefeat can only be estimated by the Torces and means employed in securing it. By fraud and corruption the people of the country were defeated in their purpose in 1870, and the rightfullyeleoted President was kept trom oiiiee. - With the combined capital of the repub'ioan party, aided byrepeated assessments npon an army of offlce-holders; with the power of Federal government represented by United States Marshals at the polls ; with intimidation. fraud and a resort to every corrupt appliance knqwn to republican methods concentrated in two states, our adversaries have suoceeded in procuring the probable return of their local candidatef . Can it be ptssible that in every state throughout lilis broad land the sanie methods can be brought to bear that were used by the republican managers in Indiana and Ohio V Can the great states of New York. New Jersey, Gonnecticut, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire bebought, intimIdated and detranded? Even without the vote in Indiana, which we believe will be redeemed in November, with New York and New Jersey, and the states that are (oaceded to us, including Maine, the eleution of our candidato is assured. The republican party have put in nomination for President and Vice President two n en who, by the admission of their own party arid press,.are unworthy of your confldencé and your suffrases. It is impossible that fifty millionsof intel! g n"t and patriotic people will consent to place themselyes upon the humiliating level thus prepared f r them by the republican managers. Fellow citizens, the flrst day'e repulse at Gettysburg ended on the third, with Hancock in tlie front, in a glorioua victory. That victory assured us our Union. The question is not now the preservation of the ünion hut of constitutional government. Hancock is now, as then, in the front ; the repulse is now, as then, the omen of a victory which will secure to coming geueratiohs the inestimable blessings of civil liberty. By order of the National Democratie Committee. Wm. ir. Babnitm, Chairman. New York, October 14, 1880. It is a significant fact that only in 1879, with the House, and the Scnate both Democratie, were we cnabled to float our four per cent. bonds ut par. - Mr. Belmont at Democratie mass meeting in New York, September 23.
