MIR POLK's SPEECH AT FAYETTE.


In our notice last week of the demo.
cratic meeting held in Fayette, we were
general in our remarks, deeming il too late
in the canvass TO attempt TO refute any OF
The many round and groundess assertions
INDUCED in by the orators who figured on
that occasion. Mr.. Polk, of st. Louis.
was the orator of the occasion, and, per.
haps, entitled to little more notice than
the others. Our attention has been par
ticularly called to one of his statements.
wherein he grossly falsified facts; we shall
set him right in this matter, and if time
permits may correct him in other particu-
lars -.E adar uaed W.E
Mr.. Polk spoke of the intolerance of the
wing party, wherever and whenever they
had power; and among other things, stated,
tn at in 1910. when Gen. Clark and the late
Governor Reynolds were canvassing the
State, they spoke in ST. Louis. Gen. Clark,
he said, spoke first--and when Gov. Rey.
nolds was replying, and about demolishine
Gen. Clark's arguments, the ,chigs Kissed
him do,on. Now, we are assured, by one
who was present, that this is toholly false.
Gov. Reynolds named the day and hour TO
speak--and when the time arrived, com.
menced addressing the people, first; he had
not spoken long, however, before he was
Kissed so as to interrupt him. He then
called for Gen. Clark, who went forward
to the stand, and al his request, arose I'd
speak--but on doing so, the kissing increas.
ed 10 such an extent, that neither of them
were permitted to speak ....r ... .g.
These are the facts of the case. How
different from Mr.. Folks version! So far
from Judge Reynolds not being permitted
TO anSper Gen. Clark, the General was moi
permitted to speak at ALL ......
If we mistake not, Mr.. Polk professed
to have been present, and witnessed what
he related-for so indignant was he at the
intolerance of the wings, peace man though
he was, he even felt like fgh,ingl We
leave Mr.. Polk and his friends to account
for the discrepancy between his stalemen,
and ours as best they can-simply remar.
king that our version is true, BEYOND THE
SHADOW OF DOUBT.

Let il be borne in mind that LewiS Cass
had the meanness TO reduce the allowance
for clothing TO the volunteers 10 so low a
sum, that it was insufficient TO keep them
decently clad, and that the same Lewis
Cass made fortune out of the u. S. Treas.
ury, by trumping up claims for eniru alloW-
ances TO which he was not en,i,led--and
that in this way he filched from The gov
eminent, while Secretary of War, the enor-
nous sum of $64,ss5, to- one dollar OF
which he was not entitled, inasmuch as the
