The opposition ask you not to
vote for Grant because of this or be-
cause of that lie, but give you no
good reason. Let us see how they
manage matters. Andy Johnson
forsook his party and went over TO
the Democracy. He served four
years and in that time he reduced
the public debt thirteen millions, but
never abated taxes at all. General
Grant reduced taxation materially
and yet has reduced the national
debt at the rate of eight millions per
month, ever since his Inauguration,
making a total of three hundred and
thirty millions it has been reduced in
his time and that to with taxes re-
duced !; yet we are told he is not a
good President. Such thing never
happened to any other country ON
Gods green earth. They may say
Gen. Grant is not responsible for this,
but they cannot deny that General
Grant and the Republican Congress
together are. So it is the Republi-
can party, that has done it, and Gen.
Grant is its candidate and will be
elected.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1872-09-12

The Kansas Republican State
Convention re-nominated for Cover
nor, r. A. Osborne, of Leavenworth,
on the 10th ballot. E. S. Slower,
was nominated for Lieut.. Governor
w. II. Smallwood, Secretary OF
State I; Judge Kingman, Chief Jus.
tice Webb Wilder, Auditor /; j. III.
Hays, Treasurer, and A. L. Williams,
Attorney General. The resolutions
endorse the Philadelphia platform ;
recite the difficulties between the
settlers on the late Indian lands and
the corporations claiming their lands
and ask that the Government be at
the expense of clearing the title and
if found in favor of the corporation
that Congress be asked to adopt
some measures that will satisfy them,
and open the land to settlers under
the homestead and presumption laws.
and one plank pledges the party now
as in the past, in favor of free and
uncorrupted exercise of the elective
franchise, both at the polls and in
legislation. ISIS

Hon. w. b. ALLISON, will speak
in Oskaloosa on Wednesday, Sept,
25th, as will be seen by announce
ment made elsewhere. He is a
powerful speaker, is the United
States Senator elect from this State
and is leader among great men.
Every voter should hear him. A
despatch from McGregor, says of his
speech there:
United States Senator William B.
Allison made powerful and effect.
i've speech in this city on the 28th
inst, ito large and enthusiastic mass
meeting of Republicans and Demo
Gratis. The Germans raised the
Stars and Stripes cheering for Grant
and Allison. He made a deep i'm.
preston and is everywhere regarded
as the finest effort OF his life. You
can put Clayton down for Grant and
Wilson. The audience gave three
cheers for General Grant and Colone
Allison, and dispersed.

/ have been a silent observer of
the workings of the Greeley patrons
for few months. Having travelled
Iowa, both north and south.
Where l have had an opportunity of
knowing the minds of the people,
am safe in saying that six were for
Grant to one for Greeley. I have also
observed that the Greeley men with
one or two exceptions, were men who
used profane language, and many of
them the intoxicating cup. / have
not heard one preacher say he would
support Greeley, and but one lay
member, while have heard many
both preachers and lay members
speak cheering words for Grant.
The conduct of such men as Gen.
Farnsworth OF I'll. and few men of
our own state, reminds one of the
old lady, who was riding upon the
cars, the train was proceedingirapid-
ly to its destination ; pleasure and
satisfaction was stamped upon the
face Of every passenger. just at
this instant the old lady arose
with deathly pallor on her counte-
nance, and gave the bell rope furi-
GUS pull, the engineer called brakes
down, the train came to sudden
halt, and terrible excitement pre-
vailed. The conductor, a tender
hearted young man, soon mustered
up courage to ask in subdued
voice "My dear good woman what
is the matter" The spectators were
in breathless suspense, when the old
lady broke the silence with, "Oh law
me what on earth shall / do, l have
dropped the bottle of milk out of the
window, 1 had for the baby" 1t il
needless to speak of. the effect pro
duoed by this revelation. ss
Just SO with the GreeleYites, their
cry "Destruction!" "Stop Train !''
produced some excitement at first.
but when the people found out that
all was right, excepting few mel
who had lost their milk, they said
ego on with this train" And gentle.

The total amount of damages award

England within a stated period. The
question of interest which at one
time threatened to seriously impede
the proceedings, was waived by the
American members, and the above
sum was agreed on much to the salts
faction of the majority of the COM
mission. Gr.

MAINE greets Vermont and rolled
up Republican gain of 5000 at the
election last Monday. Thus the
Greeley "tidal wave" that we once
read about, sweeps on, but every
time it sweeps another victory to the
Republicans. Every State thus far
shows large Republican gains. In
Maine a desperate effort was made
to carry the State, or at least cut
down the majority. Greeley, Trum-
bull, Banks, and other renegades, re-
cited their pieces, but to no effect.
Especially did they try to defeat
Speaker Blaine, but he goes back
with increased majority. The State
gave $4,000 Republican majority.
