Political speech criticizes Republican rule and racial policy
The speaker argues that protection of Black rights rests with juries and state law, not Congress, and claims Republicans fail to defend Black voters. He denounces charges against Tilden, defends Lincoln era states rights, warns against centralization, and condemns Republican economic policy and Schurz. The audience reacts with keen attention.
