RADICAL LAND ROBBERY.

Ali Germany falls short in geo,netric ares
OF the public domain in the West voted b,
the radicals OF congress to corporations
Yet Germany contains 10, 100000 o
people
The homesteads of whole nation hav.
thus been stolen by these gigantic land rob
bers. All the Rhine provinces, about which
rance and Germany are contending, are Il
mere lea bite compared with the territory
stolen from the people under radical rule
Albany argus.
1t is TO be regretted that the above is
true. Such system OF public robbery as II
rsdlca! congress- has INDUCED in Tor the
past four years, in the way of voting away
the peoples most valuable domain to private
corporations and individuals. without any
promise or hope OF consideration TO the
govern meut. WAS DeVtr before known or
heard OF since the world was made The
corrup; influences that have been brought
to bear upon memb bers of congress TO indu
them. against their own convictions of duty
ana night TO vote for the bills under which
these lands have thus been given away,
constitutes one of the most disgrace.u and
damnabie features of the whole proceeding
aud Is without parallel in the history OF
national Legislation Members of congress
have sold their votes for money. The men
who desired 10 secure these magnificent do.
nations of land could well afford to pay
members of congress for their votes. and
but few mem bers OF congress were found
who were not in the market or who failed
to get their price. In this wav scores of
congressman have become immensely rich
within the past two or three wears, and many
OF these men are now candidates before the
people for reelection. In districts in which
the radical party has overwheiming MAORI
ties, these robbers and plunderers will be
sent back to congress to continue their rob
berries and to continue to pocket their wages
of corruption and infamy. They will not
all get back, however. Many of them will
be overwhelmed and dsgraced with defeat
The people cannot all be induced to sustain
and perpetuate villsiny in high places
There is integrity and determination
enough yet lett among the people to induce |
them to make q bold effort to pu, stop to
this high handed scoundrelism.-Qu Quincy /
Herald.
Bold words fsly spoken mus. be needed |
when they bear the unmistakabe stamps of
truth and such are the above. We repuh |
lish them for the consideration of the voters |
OF this congressional district for no other
reason, than that they will be asked 20 vote |
for John B. Hawley of Rock Island, who !
voted every time with the men whose votes |
gave these lands away. John B. Hawley !
dare not put his name to documents, giving |
his reasons for thus squsndering the public
domain-thus giving it to political 'favorites,
and to men who paid them for their rotes,
and yet he will ask you to return him to
congress, that he may do the some thing
.gain. He will talk of loyalty of the wonders
he party has done. but he dare not explain
lis vote upon this question.
In the face of these facts there must be
ioneat men enough in the district to elect
n his place Mr.. p. L. Cable of this citv
man of whom his worst political enemies
annot say that there is the least probability,
hat he will thus betray their trust for
lercensrT or partisan purposes.
