You cannot carry the country this year. Your confession comes too late. [Laughter. ] You ought to have begun your policy at least two years ago. You ought to have brought forth fruits meet for repentance. We cannot trust you yet; but after we have elected General Grant, as we surely will, and have carried Congress, then, gentlemen, you will have four years to show by your deeds the sin- cerity of your declarations at Baltimore. [Laughter and applause. ] There are some who tell us that the Repub...lican party has done its work. As I regard it, the Republican party has yet its greatest, its grandest, its crowning work to do— a work greater than abolishing slavery ; a work greater than putting down the rebellion ; a work greater than lifting a race up to civil rights; a work greater than making five millions of men citizens of the United States, and that work is to change the heart of the Democratie party of the United States. [Applause and laughter. ] Well now, gentlemen, you seem to show evidence of being convicted, but you are not ccmveried yet, that is sure.
