dinance of secession was a Democrat. Every man that lowered our flag from the skies was a Democrat. Every man that bred bloodhounds was a Democrat. Every preacher that said slavery was a divine institution was a Democrat. Recollect it! Every man that shot a Union soldier was a Democrat. Every wound borne by you, Union soldiers, is a souvenir of a Democrat. You got your crutches from Democrats. Every man that starved a Union soldier was a Democrat. Every man that shot the emaciated maniac who happened to totter across the death line, with a hellish grin on his face, was a Democrat. Nice company you're in! The keepers of Andersonville and Libby, those two wings that will bear the Confederacy to eternal infamy, were all Democrats. There were lots of

SPLENDID DEMOCRATS.

I mean the war Democrats. I never will bear hard feelings against a man who bared his breast in his country's defense. The men who attempted to spread yellow fever in our Northern cities were all Democrats. The men who proposed to give our Northern cities to the flames were all Democrats. Just think of it! Think what company you're in! Recollect it! The men who wanted to assassinate Northern Governors were Democrats.

Now all I ask you to do is what you believe to be right. If you really think liberty of speech, the ballot box, the are safer with the South than with the North, then vote the Democratic ticket, early and often. If you believe it is better to trust the men who fought against the country than the men who fought to preserve it; if you have more confidence in Chalmers than in Blaine;

if you have more confidence in Hampton than your own men; if you have a greater trust in the solvency of Mississippi than in Massachusetts, then vote the Democratic ticket. But there's not a Democrat in Maine who believes it!

THE CANDIDATES.

I

I've got a little while to talk about candidates. haven't much against Hancock. The most I have against him is that he was a creature of Andy Johnson. I would as soon vote for Andy Johnson as vote for him. What are his opinions on finance? What are his opinions on State rights? I don't know nor anybody else. The Democrats now have both Houses of Congress. If they get the Executive they'll have the whole; they'll annul the legislation of the war. They'd make Unionism disreputable. They'd make a Union soldier ashamed to own he lost a leg on the field of glory and make him say he lost it in a threshing machine. I don't want to see them have that pleasure. The rebel possessions and claims don't amount to anything in dollars and cents. Liberty is cheap at any price. I want my Government to be proud and free. Liberty is a thing wherein ex

travagance is economy.

Now comes the Republican party. Who is at its head? Thousands of men say to me, "How can you support Garfield? He is a Christian; he's a Campbellite." I support him because I am not a bigot; I support him because he is not a bigǝt; I support him because there's no man better acquainted with the civil affairs of the country; I support him because he's a politician in the best sense. We vant c land-lubbers on our ship. Garfleld is as dier as Hancock. I've got nothing against the

regular army; but a man who, in a time of profound peace, determines to make killing folks his regular business, who, when there's no sound of war, longs for the din of shot and shell-is no better, in my opinion, than

than the man who hates war, but, when he is called upon, puts his sword on, and goes into the field of battle! That's my man.

DEMOCRATIC CHARGES.

They say he's dishonest. Who says it? The Solid South and the counting out conspirators of Maine! 'That won't do. Garfield has been in a position where he conld have reaped millions by selling his influence for good. Yet he's a poor man. Put a Maine Democrat in his place and see how long he'll remain poor! I know Garfield. You know him! I want you in Maine to know that your vote in September will elect him, that as Maine goes so goes the Union. I want the Democrats to know it, so they can help do it. The honor of Maine must be reclaimed.

I understand that there's a

man here who has voted the Democratic ticket for fortynine years, and who now intends to put a blossom on the half-century of his life by voting the Republican ticket next September!

(Voice "Who is he?" "Trot him out!")

Ingersoll-It's J. M. Crooker of Waterville! (Cheers and great enthusiasm.) Time fails me, but I want to impress on your minds that we must hand over to our country a legacy of power and glory. (Rousing cheers.)

Col. Ingersoll here left the stand and took a special train for Portland.

Speech Delivered at Gloucester, Mass., Aug. 12, 1880.

Everything in this world that is good for anything has to be defended. Everything that is good has to be taken care of. Everything that is bad will take care of itself. There is the same difference between virtue and vice, between truth and falsehood, as there is between grain and
