PEOPLE OF THE SIXTH DISTRICT! READ
RENEMRER AND CIRCULATED!

REMEMBER AND CIRCULATED!
We present to our readers this week, as we prom
ised in our last the most if not all the measures APP
propriating money, during the LIST Session OF 1ne
35th Congress- aside from such as were absolutely
necessary to carry the Government togethef WIN
the votes upon each respective measure, OF the Hon.
A NJ Scales, Hon. H. NJ Shaw, and Hon. John A.
Gilmer
We have selected these gentlemen from the LIST,
9TH and 9Th Districts, because they are the only
Districts contested by the opposition except the
Sth whose Know Nothing candidate, the Hon: II.
B. Vance did not take his seat until the second SEES
sion the Journals of which have not yet beeen pup
lished
We earnestly ask the patient and careful atten-
t;on Of the people to these votes. They can now
see who is responsible for this reckless and shameful
waste of the public money. They vii! lind the
Hon. John A. Glmer, then "the lone star OF Know
Nohnyism in the national Congress from this State,
voting for almost every appropriation, just or nn-
lust however cxtravagant ard reckless, or dodSng
and not voting at ALL which is precisely equivalent
to voting against measures while our own true
and faithful Representative Alfred M. seaseS sIoou
side bv side with his brother Democrat the gallant
II. NJ. Shaw. always in favor of "retrenchment and
reform" and always against extravaganza
That there may be no clubbing or denying the re-
cord which we present. We prefix to each measure
the date upon which the vote was taken, and the
page of the Congressional Globe for 1878 where
it may be found
Now honest, fair-minded people, what becomes OF
Gen. Leach's reckless assertion, that MIR. Scales
voted against no appropriationS =,
How can the people trust that man, who would
unblushinglv make this assertion, when he has ran
sacked the Journals and knows to the contrary =
What can they think of his consistency in desiring
the reelection of Hen John A. Glmer, who voted
to throw away millions of the public money, ana at
the same time, that Mr. Scales ought to be beaten,
who voted against them all What will they say
of his Justice and honor in attempting to hold Alfred
NJ Scales responsible for the eXtravagant ana rum
GUS votes of the Hon. John A. Gilmer, and other
kindred spirits in the last Congress of the United
States? He presumes upon the cledulity and insults
the intelligence and justice Of the people. He is
reckless and untrust worthy, fanatic and wild. lie
has been chosen as the most BETTING man to defend
a doomed, and sinking cause. People OF the 9TH
District read and judge for yourselves, and say II
you will join in this attempt to defeat the man, who
has at all times, and under all circumstances, been
punctuoNy at his post, and true to your interests
