Scaling a Demagogue.

the 4th district of Philadelphia, sums
up his exposure of that arrant dcma
gogue, WIN. ID. KELLY, in the follow
ing scathing terms. We copy from the
Philadelphia Day, Republican paper
of the 10th Oct:
Col. THOMAS says he has called KEEL
LY's attention to the charge that
First.-He received $40 for services
rendered in obtaining pardon.
Second.-That he demanded $500 for
procuring the admission of a young
man into the naval service.
Third. That he received So or about
that sum for each wagon furnished the
government, by contractor in this
city.
Fourth.-That he obtained clothing
contract for his brother-in-law, which
he afterwards sold in New York at an
advance of s25, 900.
Fifth.-That he received from a gen.
tleman on Broad street $500 for books
published by Congress for gratuitous
distribution amongst the people.
Sixth.-That he demanded and re-
ceived from poor mem whom he placed
in the navy yard money considerations
therefor.
eventh.-That he received large
sum of money for obtaining the release
of rebel prisoner from one of our forts
and could multiply these items indefi-
nitely. Has Judge KELLY attempted
to disprove all or any of these charges :?
He has not attempted that which hem
doubt, knows to be impossible.
l have proven that he is the paid
servant of all our over-grown corpora
tions and capitalists, with the exception
of Mathew Baird q Co., and as the
hireling of these monopolists, he is on
ly intent upon increasing their annual
| incomes.
That his egotism and offensive man
ner has made him so unpopular with
his fellow members in Congress, as to
cause his support of measure to insure
its certain defeat.
That his self-importance has made
him the "butt" of the house.
That his unpopuarity in the house is
manifested by his exclusion from the
craftsmanship of its committees, al
though he has been member for ten
years.
l have proven that his great desire to
serve his employers has induced him to
advocate the introduction of cheap
Iah s,{ al hat
may be introduced into machine shops,
cotton and wooden factories, foundries
sewing rooms, cigar manufactures, on
our streets and parks, into our kitchens
and to the exclusion of our own native
and naturalized citizens.
1 have proven that the Press and
Evening Telegraph newspapers, the cho-
sen organs of Judge KELLY, are the
most determined advocates of the in
PRODUCTION of coolie labor into our in
dustrial establishments, and In this
they but express his views and speak by
his authority and that the city Item
finding that Iwould not purchase it to
serve me, has, within the last week, en-
listed in the service of the judge, and is
now, like his other two organs, the
Press and Telegraph, the jealous advo.
cate of coolie labor.
have proven that he is not only in
favor of the rapid immigration of the
puppy and rat eating barbarians of Chi
ma, but that he is in favor of their ANAL
gamation by marriage with our own
people, thus deteriorating our species
intellectually and physically. 1 have
proven that in order to benefit the
Pennsylvania Salt Company, which en-
joys monopoly granted by the govern
ment of Denmark to import kryolite
into this country, he has taken from the
treasury of the nation revenue derived
from that article without any correspon.
ding benefit to the people. What would
you think of Congress that would
grant single merchant the privilege
of importing all the French goods that
duty free? And yet this is precisely
the kind of monopoly created by Judge
KELLY in kryolite.
l have proven that whilst he had
placed on the free list non essentials,
such as chalk, quinine and kryolite, for
which he takes to himself great credit,
he has continued the duty on necessa-
ries of life-such as sugar, tea, coffee,
salt and coal, thus increasing unneces.
sarily the expenses of every family in
the district.
have proven that instead of having
relieved the people of 1880, 600, 900 of tax
alton, he has only favored a reduction
of $7O,OO0,O00, thus exacting from them
unneces sarily SS0,0O0,OOO annually of
their hard earnings.
have proven that he advocated the
continuance of the income tax in COM
mittee of the whole, but when that
measure came before the House voted
against the tax, because the city papers
said he should not be reelected if he
voted in favor of it.
Judge KELLY is now endeavoring to
buy votes and to corrupt election Off
GERS with money-as every such attempt
is an insult to the citizen, you should
receive all such money thus offered you
and vote as you please afterwards.
