INV OREGON HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA JANUARY, Is 1884,

1slature, just closed, is evidence of.this
where free speech in defense Of Con-
stitutional principles was quietly heard,
from your able representative, Mr.. Ea-
ton, in spite Of: coercion and bayoncts.
1t shows that the people are thinking
1t shows that they are determind, if
everything is to be wrecked, that they
WILL at least, save their liberty out of
that wreck. and buila something more
solid and enduring than they have yet
had. (Cheers.)
But you fear the bayonet, my friends.
You look to Ohio. You think the SOL

Went to the commands of those who
aim to establish and perpetuate des

will see that in so doing they are forg-
ing chains for their own limbs. They
will see the lniquities of the men at
Washington. In my mind, there are
thousands to-day in the Republican
ranks who see this, and are ready to
break away from their party connect
ions. We shall have recruits from
them, henceforth, All, the men who
are in revelry at Washington, while
their countrymen are dying these
men, depend upon it, begin to have
some forethorght Of the doom that
awaits them. If they arc holding high
~assail tonight, they may see, as Bel
shazzar saw, the handwriting on the
wall. They are confronted with the
exclamation, ":Thou art the man.
They hear their doom in the rustlins
leaf; in the shaking Of the tapestry on
tho wall. They hear it in the rattle o.
the passing garage that goes by th'
White House, or other whitod scpul-
cher. They see the ghost Of thci'
country. like Clarence, with "his briga
hair dabbled in blood" rising bcfor'
them. The spirit of Liberty comes ur
to confront them, and they see it Will
fear and trembling. A down troddeu
