Daily Davenport Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1864-1874, 1864-09-30

George II. Parker.

This gentleman, well known in this cOun-
ty, where he has made several excellent
speeches, is the Democratic candidate for
Congress III the Davenport, Iowa district.
When he was nominated the Gd.ttte spoke
very highly OF him, saying he was the best
speaker in the Democratic ranks in that
district. that his moral character was above
reproach, and many other quite conpl-
mcntary illusions. The Republicans did
not feel any alarm about the district then
they thought "Kiag Hiram had Il sure
thing Oft anyhow, and they could afford to
be honest and speak well Of Mr.. Parker -
But change has come over the abs OF
lowa,-they have become alarmed at the
rapid growth Of Parker popularity, at tNc
large number of Lincoln'; former support
els who are now ont for Mcclellan and Par
ker, and they must try and stop this rush
from their ranks to the support Of Parker
As consequence they have commenced
abusing him, and one Of the serious char
gcs they bring agai' st him Is, that he was a
Breckenridge man i'll 1860. That is bad
enough, we admit, but the abs are not the
men to find fault with htns on that account,
for the reason that they take especial de-
light in showering honors upon al Breskin
ridge men. Thousands Of instances might
he named, but few noted ones will suffice.
Among their Generals. Burnside, Butler.
ana Dix were Breckenridge Democratg.-
/, Their Secretary of War, Stanton, was

with ,cwardlng these and many others like
Dickinson, of New York. aud hosts Of 9th
crS, they .lrew Hannibal iIamlin over
BOARD TO reward another Breckenridge trait
or-Andrew Joh son.
| We admit that it was bad enough to have
voted TO- Breckinr,dve, but Mr. Parker did
not add to 1t the unpardonaJe crime of 60
i over to Lincolnlsm He still had moral
iirnness enough TO resist the tendencies to
dcspoiism Of the Lincoln party. He be-
lievcd. as Fremont: said in his letter of ac-
ceptance, that "trisiie ,re are satnratiny

Burnsid,, Dix, Dickinson, Stanton and
johnson into the camp CT those WHO. for pri-
yaie greed ard gain, wcuId see their coun-

union OF people DESTROYED forever.
Mr.. Parker is making a gallant canvass,
in lowa, and the hopes OF all good Union
men 90 Yi!h him. He is struggling against
great odds. and he may not bc elected but
! the popular tide is with him. and if all those
who are opposed to the policies Of Lincoln
will work for George Parker, they can make
