make the psoplo believe that the
Democrats are . dishonest set, who
would repadiats their just debts

howl Of the radicals is al bosh and
hypocrisy, for they knew If there is
any repudiators IN the land that
they are TO be found In the Repab-
lican party. and that the precedent
of violating contracts was set by
that party when it ignored gold and
silver and made grsenbaeks a legal
tender. Yet We hear the howl al
most daily set up by these repudia-
tors and violators Of contracts
against the Democracy that they
would repudiats the sacred CON
tracts ef the government and do in
justice to the rich and aristocratic
bondholder, aud only day or two
since, we noticed charge in the
Nonparoil against Mr.. CLAGxTT,
of the Keokuk Constitution, stating
that he wrote "repadiation with one
hand and reached for greenbaeks
with the other" This charge
comes with abad grace from aman

tongue, and whenever an opporta-
niiy offers, with his vote, sustaining
. party of repadiators-men who in
violation of sacred contracts, made
greeabacks legal tender, and now
howl at Us "repadiator" when We
propose TO pay boadholdeFs with
the legal tender which Radicals
made, and which common people,
Iaborers, mechanics, farmers and
soldiers have to take in payment ot
debts due them, o consistency,

Radical ranks and never practiced
by them, when money is to be made
by abandoning or ignoring it.
Democrats are called Repadi&-
tors because they propose to pay
the bondholders in just saah money
as the Radical Supreme Court OF
Iowa has decided in a legal tender
for all debts due from one individ-
uai to another. Are bondAoldeFs
better and entitled to better pay
and better money for their debts
due them, than farmers, mechan.
les, laborers and soldiers ? Ii they
are not, then why this hypoeritical
and whining cry of Radicals about
Democrats being repudiators and
in favor Of repudiation Why, the
worst repudiators we hare in the
land are Radicals. Thoy are the
fathers OF the system. They ropu-
dated gold contracts and made
greenbacks legal tender, They
declared by Law that when a man
had promised to pay gold, that he
might repudiate his contract and
pay grsenhsaks, They made green
backs legal teadsr. and nov when
Democrats propose 20 take them at
iAeiF word, by teadoriag green
backs to the bondholder, they roll
ap their eyes and go into Mysteries,
howling IS they &c, fSepgdiation,
repudiators.n Their bowling viii
