CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

To tho voters of the fourth congressional dis
trict of Illinois.
In the performance of the duties assigned II
by the Democracy of the District, we besiro t
call your attention to q few of the acts of tn
present party in power:
First. An unnecessary, bu densome inquisa
torial and unequal system of taxation.
Second. high protective tariff for the benef
OF few monopolies which creates additiona
burdens the west for the benefit of the east.
Third. The exemption of the interest bearing
debt from its proper taxation.
Fourth. Aboishing by compassionate action inc
rights OF states and individuas- r.
Fffta. BY class and partial Legislation Tor
wealthy CORPORATIONS attempting to retain party
power through fraud and corruption
yirfh Committing these and other great out
RACES which could be perpetrated upon free
people only after great civil war, upon pre-
tence Of strrngthing the government when their
truo object is to lead the people to monarchy and
despotism.
To remedy these great evils, we invite all who
oppose these outrages to join with US 10 sending
delegates 10 the Convention to be held at Dallas
City on the 10th day of August for the purpose
of selecting candidate for Congress, who will
honestly endeavor to stop the tide of corruption
which now controls, to an alarming extent, the

The LARGEST SINGLE CLAIM EVER PRESENTED ON THIS
SIDE WArER.-Isaac N. Norris, of Quincy, ILL.,,
has been favored for collection with probably the
largest single claim presented this side of the
water. The demand is against Mexico, and the debt
was incurred during the Maxmilian reign. The fol-
lowing in reference to the claim, in late number of
the Washington Chronicle, says:
"a claim of 1922, 9o7 SO against Mexico has been
put into the hands of Isaac n Morris for collection by
the Tehuantepic Ship Canal and Mexican Pacific Rail-
road Company, of which $l2s, IA, ,666 &c are for
bonds payable in gold, with per cent. interest," and
convertible at the option of the holder in 100000
acres of land. Disbursements account of the Re
public of Mexico, while fighting against Maximisn,
some s65oeOo. Besides these $500, 900, the value
of some 500 square leagues of land, per contract
in San Luis Poosi and Tamaulipas, and $2l, ,36oooo
the value of 210O mines of fifty square each 60
toward making up the enormous aggregate above cited
making the largest individual corporation claim ever
preferred against government in modern times"
