Why the government gets only 100000,
900 when the people pay $6OO,OOO,OOC
taxes
Why did the very loyal soldier.lovinR
Hawley vote against paying soldiers boun-
ties through Postmsster's!
Why did Hawley vote to give railroads
ten years to claim land grants and to give
soldiers only sir months to secure bone
| steads?
Why were the congressional expenditure,
during s months of Grants administration
four times what they we're during the same
time under Buchanau's.
Why were these expenditures during the
same time under Grant ocer one million and
three hundred thousand dollars more than
during the same length of time under
Johnson's administration?
Why did Hswley vote to do away with
the tax on gross receipts and to continue
the Infamous income tax?
Why did Hawley vote to relieve rich
bankers from paying orer ten million dollars
taxes and allow the taxation of other prop
erty to make up the deficiency?
| Why did he vote to excuse rich capital
lists from paying over townty millions of
tax on incomes, and make the farmer pay
two and half per cent on his scanty in,
come?
Why did Hswley ddrise the authorities
at. Washington to Kill both Of the bills Cor a
horse railway across the government bridge
at this point?
Why did Hawley outherod Herod in the
most infamous speech, on the admission of
Virginia?
What special claims has Hawley to be
returned to the seat he has disgraced?
What single vote did he cpst in the inter
est of his constituents, aud western inter.
ests?
Where and when has he exhibited any
of those qualities of craftsmanship that fit a
man for the position he seeks.
Where is the man that can bring the first
just charge against Mr.. Cable that he is not
all that the people desire for an able, honest
and capable representative.
Hswley begs aud buys his nomination
Mr. Cable has the nomination forced upon
him.
Where is the man who will answer these
questions? Is it John B. Hswley? Is it the
editor Of The Onion?
Where ia the man?
All through the length of the district
comes the echo-rhere.
From the farmysrds-from the pillow fields
from the workshops the stores of
the cities and viliages-from every place
where a republican can be found comes the
answer: Let Hswley answer. He was
our chosen representative. He did these
things and he must dRsWer."
