! paper he might receive would be filed
with Ogle's omnibus Of lies or the .gold
spoon humbug' or the standing army
lumbugl" Now we arc not surprised at
his great dislike 10 these things for they
done good service in 1910, but that 0gle's
speech is an " omnibus of lies we DENY.
He stated that from the 3D. of March,
1929, TO the Sd of March 1889 there had
been appropriated for the Presidents house
SS6,722 IS. Is this a he-Yerv far from
it. We have also examined his accounts
and to most Of them is the date OF the time
at which they were paid, showing that
large amounts had been expended for
things for the use Of the President aud as
they were not 10 be found when Gen. Har-
rison went into office the presumption is
that they were suffered to be destroyed for
the purpose of deceiving the people. He
seems to make light of the "gold spoon
humbug" as he calls il, but it wont do
Mr.. Ogle gives the receipt for the money
with the date, so that, whether the service
of plate is i'll the Presidents house now
or not, they were raid for in 1888 by Geo.
w. South and received into the Presi.
dents House by ]. Boulanger, on the 1st
July, 1888.
He refers to the Iiooe case" and
" standing army" humbug. All rccollect
that it was proved upon Mr.. Van Buren,
beyond contradiction that he suffered
Negro 10 give EVIDENCE against
white man in the port Of Pensacola. As
Ear as the standing army" is concerned
Mr.. Van Buren, said in his message he
could not recommend the measure too
strongly 10 the attention of Congress, yet,
Notwithstanding this, as soon as the Wings
began to exhibit the true character of the
bill the Locos tried to turn attention from
it by saying il was no wores than q mea-
sure proposed by some body else.
As TO trying TO make the ignorant be-
lieye that taking an account Of the PEG.
pies Turkies, Geese, &c. was to enable |
Mr.. Van Buren to lay direct tax-there /,
is more truth in it than meets the eve. /
Every Loco Foco who has the ndepen.
dence to do so is now coming GU, for d.
rect tax-and others of the party and |
perhaps the Editor of the Jencrsonian I
too--is secretly tavoriug the measure
This being the case, is it not presumable I
that if Mr.. Van Buren, had been elected .
direct tax would have been laid instead of |
tariff, and then the chickens and turkies |
would have stood fair chance to come in
for part Of The tax. As to the promise Of
two dollars day and roast becf--that must
have been ban,ling of the Editor Of the
Standard when he was rolling up Olympus,
for we never heard of such promise be-
ing made BY Wings.
Yes, we say to the people, circulate
Wing papers, for they are the ones that
exposed in lS40 the corruptions Of the |
Loco Focos and as it is stated upon very !
good authority that they are bound togeth-
er only by the cohesive Pouer Of public
plunder, they are now using every nerve
TO gain what they have lost and TO plumber
the public crib again. There is one fact
that ought 10 satisfy the People that the
Wings arc moi, as party, governed by
desire TO obtain oiiice-if this was the case
how easily would it have been for them to
coincide with Mr.. Tyler and pocket the
pap" but no, principle governs them
and when they found the President dis
posed to 20 contrary 10 what they ex-
pected they cut loose from him-and he
can give his Offices TO those who are mean
enough to do him reverence.
Again We say to every Wing, endeavor
to circulate Wing papers. 1t is to them
YOU are TO look for facts, and they will not
knowingly deceive you, but the same can
moi be sad Of the Loco Foco press.
