AN ApoLoor.-An old and popular
Irish clergyman had disagreement
with one of his parishoners, who was
an extremely refractory character of
great wealth, but of low origin, vulgar
habits, and abusive tongue. Upon
hearing from third party that his
ancestry had been spoken Of dispar-
agingly by this rich boor, the old
.patson, borrowing . Scriptural met
.aphoB exclaimed, "Why, sir, my
father would not have set him with
the dogs Of his flock" This remark
reached the ear Of the nabob, who
Immediately repaired to the clergyman
and demanded anapology. The good
old man. listened patiently to the
rawlings Of his parishoner, and closed
the discussion with the remark
"Did I really say that my father
would not have set you with his dogsP
l was wrong, sir; IbeIisvs he acouEd,'

Wilson. the Rich Bundholder,

The name of the Radical Bond
holders candidate for Congress, in
this District, is John T. Wilson, and
he lives down in Adams county,
where he-is growing rich off of the
bonds he holds, while the plow-
holders are working in the hot sun,
day after day, to pay the interest
on the bonds. The Peoples Defend
er, the Powholdor's paper, printed
in the town in which Wilson lives
and sits in big rocking chair,
while the plowholders and other
laborers arc toiling in the burning
sun, speaks Of the rich Wilson-the
enemy OF the poor plowholders-as
follows, because he is we'll known to
the editor of that paper:
The Radical candidate for Congress is
q stock holder in one of the black-vomi il
concerns known as National Banks, which
were designed as powerful electioneering
engines as well as means Of rewarding
the loyal" and "patriotic" bOndhOl'lers,
f'r his fidelity. The prOprietors Of one
of these Banks, who are always bOndhold-
ers, take these bonds to Washington city
and deposit them with the Treasurer who
in return gives them greenbacks or "nig-
gerbacks" for them with permission to
use so many thousand dollars in excess of
the deposit for banking purposes. His
bonds ara escaping taxation, aud he brings
the money obtained for them home and
lends it TO his neighbOrS in distress at
exorbitart interests, and thus through the
injustice Of "loyar' law makes two
interests upon his money. Is this right 2

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE SIx.-We do
not wish TO take any part in controversy
that may be going on between individuals
through the columns Of this paper and
the Echo, or any other paper, but II may
perhaps, not be out of place If we say a
few words relating to the six Republicans
Of Zaleski who crawled into The back
window Of the School House and appoint
ed each other delegates to represent Madi-
son township in the County Convention,
held in Macarthur, June 9th, the particu.
lars Of which were published in a com
munication in this paper, over the sigma
ture Of Occasionally" two weeks ago
In the Echo Of the I'd inst, we find com
munication, signed "0ne Of the Six" in
which the writer, who, there is not the
least doubt, is RObt. e. Phillips, says: ~
here take the liberty in behalf Of the
doomed six Of branding Occasionally with
being public liar, and defy him to sus-
tain, by any responsible man, what he has
charged us with" Well, Mr.. Phillips,
that Is indeed very plain talk to come
from person whom the people of vinton
county look upon as gentleman in every
true sense Of the word, when you so we'll
know that the facts set forth in the com.
munication published in this paper are
nearly correct; but we will "heTe take
the liberty" 70 say that WILLIAM D. HIa
GINS. Of zlIeski, informed us,about three
hours after the County Convention was
held June 27th) that The facts, as We
published, relating to the appointment Of
the six delegates we're about correct, OK :

John 7. Wilson, BcndhOlders' Can
didate for Congress.

Voters of Vinton County,
read the following Wilson
Items from the Peoples De-
fender, printed at West Ma
rion, Adams county, the home
of Wilson, Bondholder's can
didate for Congress
WILSON says that he win be at home as
soon as Congress adjourns. Why don't
he come noW2 He might as well for all
the good he is doing anybody. He has
long ceased to be Me Representative from
this District.
WILSON has been in Congress almost
two years and yet he has never introduced
a resolution or advocated q measure and
never delivered but one speech which was
written for the occasion. Do the people
of this District want dummy TO non
represent them2
Wilson says that he will be on hand
during the campaign with his usual abil-
ty ~ to discuss the political questions Of
the day. We wonder if he can tell the
people how much interest he pays on his
sixty thousand dollars worth Of bonds, eh
WILSON is out this week in letter &C.
cepting the nomination for Congress. We
wonder who wrcte il for him 2 II sounds
like IL was written by the same individual
who wrote his speech,
WILSON has shown by his letter Of ac
cepance that he is--an-.as-tonishing
demagogue The voters of this District viii
never again commit the gross error of
of sending him to Congreas. We want
Vhite man who will attend to rhite mems
interest to represent the phite men of this
District.
WILSON says "if the people will but
elect him" etc. They'll do it, Johnny, by
hOakies, they'll do ito stay at home,
though.
THE Jackson Standard gays tina. among
other thing We have "triumped up an old
lie that was refutcd two years ago, that
Mr.. Wilson was u deserter from The army"
We merely stated that Wilson's name at
one time stood upon the rolls of the army
branded with desertion. We re- assert this
charge and stand ready to prove the as
sertion. John Y. Wilson, by order Of
General Sherman, WIS branded. and &C
cording to statemen. of the Scion, two
years ago. he had to ''court the favo1s of
court martial" in order to get clear Of
the stigma. We think that the Scion's &C.
knowledgement will be found, If our
memory serves us right, in its September
issues, two years ago.
lP you do not believe that the Radical
party is the Bondhol ler's as well as the
National Bankers party, look at its can
didaies. In the sixth Congressional Dis
trict they nominated a fellow named
Smith, q National Bank President, for
Congress, and in this District SO eager
were they for a candidate Of the same iIk,
they tOcRt ont Of. The District and picked up
chap named Wilson, who is also Ma
tioual Bank President and nominated
him as Radical candidate for Congress
in this District, The poor men of this
District, who are now in the clutches of
these catfish aristocrats, are expected to
vote for them and send them to Congress
that they may feed and fattcn upon the
peoples hard-earned money in two ways
by interests and salaries.

The Grand ArnH Of the Rennhlin.

The nomination of General Grant
for the Presidency was mainly due
to a secret political order known as
the Grand Army of the Republic.
Quietly, underhandedly and covert
ly, but most adroitly and actively,
this secret political organization
will work to secure the election Of
its fayorite. The mass of the peo-
pie have scarcely q conception of
the widespread branches and ope-
rations Of this, their concealed, but
worst enemy as its tendency, if not
its direct object, is to subject the
country to the iron rule Of a militia
ry desp0tism.

pemocrncn va. RndioaIism.

During Democratic rule gold and silver
was the standard, and there was no such
thing known as a bonded aristocracy, or
a bond drawing from the poor man sin.
gle cent more than from the rich man.
The Radical party signalled its advent
10 power BY abolishing the standard of
gold and silver anj introducing gold in
terest bearing Bonds worth ST. l2 in the
market, and drawing 81 so per dollar for
every dollar of it. The gold was gather
ed into Radical Golfers and fortunes made
by investing their grcenbacks in these
BOnds when greenbacks were worth forty
to sixty cents on the dollar, compared with
gold valuation and their gold brought
them during the war from 50 so to 50 30
in greenbacks, which were worth as cir
culsting medium their face.
That is the financial history, relating
to bonds and greenbacks, in brief Of the
two parties. The laboring man who pays
to make fortunes for Radical leaders and
bond sharks will certainly cas- his vote TO
return to Democratic rule, which will tax
the bonds, pay them in grsenbacks and
finally return TO the old standard Of gold
and silver.
