From the Illinois State Register,
Mr.. ConRressman Rohfusonis Defeuse


When 9 person holds an office given him
by the vote Of the people, that person :
acts in such position are public property
and proper subjects OF criticism. The
Journal Of this city has always defended
the 'back-pay salary grab, and in that
papers account of the gathering at Edin.
burgh on the 18th, it states that MIR. james
&. Robinson, Congressman from this dis
trict, and orator OF the day, devoted por-
ton OF his speech TO defense of the most
unfortunate and worst act Of his life Mr.
Robinson Is reported as saying, in sub
stance, that in this Congressional District,
composed OF six counties his salary appOr-
toned among them would amount to but
$3.50 each, and that the several officers of
these counties received an amount in ex-
cess of this sum, etc. Mr.. Robinsons de
Tense hardly reaches anywhere. The
county officers referred 10 work every dav
the year round, for what salary they get
and Mr.. Robinson does not. County off
GERS do not get any shack pay for services
already rendered, and have nothing % do
10 voting themselves pay at all, when Mr..
Robinson both voted himself back pay"
and received it. MIR. Robinspn's attempt
TO figure the services Of one man for three
months during year, as equal IT, /. half
dozen mems work every day during Ihs
year, IA not satisfactory reason Tor his !
vote and receipt 10 the salary grabbing
business. In other words it is too thin.
and is not entitled to Il moments consider
alton We are grieyed that salary grab
bing should have so demOraliziug an effect
as to cause man of Mr. Robinson native
ability 70 put forward such weak and
shallow Justification Of au act by which all,
from MIR. President Grant down to the
humb!est Congressman, basely betrayed
conhding constituency.

ness with which II demonstrates that marty
