have now hundreds who arc rampant us
young jackasOes, md claim the Govern:

rebels arc the only Union and the only
respectable men in the country. It is
true tina, they have tho money in this
State. It is natural that they should
have, for 10 selfish schcmiug, in opprcs.
sion of the people, in seeking every
means Of making the poor poorer and
the rich richer, they have teen worry
successful, and now they want political
rs on accessory Of the monied power
The people will move, however, at the
proper timc-when the vote colncs-7and
then We shall SEQ that money docs not
control the ballot, although it might
control the vira.vocc vote. Why is II !
It's money against the people. 1t is
