Al last 1t was determined, by solemn dec
TAXATION ia tho National Labor Congress,
representing nearly one million working
men, that they would no longer support
those birelings of banks aud corporations,
or those corrupt men who have ridden into
place and power on the cry Of Patriotisml
but that thoy would 90 10 toork and make
a CONGRESS ihemseires-a Congress that
would stop giving away lands by the hun
dred millions Of dcres--a Congress that
would not discriminate In favor of Banks,
and that would mete out Justice and equal
ity 10 the people.
Hence the origin of the Labor Reform
Party. We promulgato no agfstian doc
trines; we advocate no distinction of
classes, no fayoritism for alien or native.
Our doctrines are based on tho broad and
fundamental principles of equality, Of jas
tice TO all, and we welcome to our fellow
ship every m.n who has the good Of his
country at heart, whatever bis former po-
liticsl opinions. The time for brotherly
concord has come, and the present u favor
able time to support men that wo know
are honest and will endorse our views.
Working mon of Southern Illir ois we
e1hort you TO an earnest ami hearty sup
port OF the ticket your representatives
will shortly place in the field. The can
didstes are pledged to our doctrine, and a
better ticket will not be- befors the public.
Vote the ticket and work for it--not for
the sake of the candidates only, but for the
sake of yourselves, that you may show
your strength and your determination &
vindicate your rights at the hallot-box.

TELL WHAT HE SAYS.

Mr.. Clements, the Radical candida G
for congress, has been canvassing the dis
trict very industriously. Ho has made
many speeches, but what he has said in
reference to tho civil rights bill no fellow
can find out. The editors Of the Oppose
ton papers won't Listen to him. They
are too thoroughly Democratic to do go
The consequence is they never report the
speeches made by Mr.. Clements as he
swings around tho circle of tho district
The Radical editors attend the Clements
meetings, but they refuse to report what
he says about the civil right, bill. "Mr.
Clements" they always say, "spoke clo-
quently. lie referred to the civil rights
bill, and declared himself in favor of
cheap transportation, to be obtained by
the improvement of our water courses anu
tho control of railroads by congressional
action. The speech had great effect"
But why don't somebody tell us whether
Mr.. Clements is in favor of the civil
righta bill or opposed TO il? and why
don't somebody tell us what 10 Mr.. Glenn
ents position on the currency question L?
Every body Is in favor of railroad control
and river improvements, but there is DIFF.
ference of opinion on the other questions.
Has Clements no opinion upon then2 II
he has why don't he express it2

THE canvass is getting 80 hot in the

putting it in this way "Great God has

ferod to him as the only reparation-as
the only means of vindcsting his good

hunting up some reckless politician to tell
him no has not been correctly informed :"

OBERLY ON LOGAN.

From the Cairo Gazette, 9th inst
Oberly's speech in reply to Senator Lo-
gan, last Monday night, WAS listened TO
aud heartily appiauded ty crowd quite
as large AS that called out by the Senator.
II WAS speech OF which Oberly has &C.
caslon to ieel proud. Coming down as
the Democratic David to overthrow the
Goliath OF Radicslism, his srgumentative
dornicks cracked the skull Of the giant as
often as cast. lie showed that the
civil rights bill was n Rad,-
cal snare, intended to catch negro votes
that II the party really favored it there
was no obstacle in the way Of its passage.
1t was not called for by the exegencies Of
tho times, and would, if enacted, engen-
der bitterness between the races, aud
bring positive injury to the black. In the
Eighteenth congressional district he de-
cisred, the radical press refused to endorse
1t, and that even Isaac Clements, the
mere jumping jack OF Logan, had advo.
Gated in one portion of the district, aud
denounced II in another.
Logan's financial theories were shown
to be talse and imprscticable the speaker
holding that the Democracy of Illinois
had indicated the only feasible plan fer
return to specie basis.
The cause of the Louisiana troubles he
laid at the door Of the Radical party. lie
quoted from Logans report 10 congress to
snow that tho Radical outrages under
which the Louisians have suffered, were
Justly ehargeable with the recent turmoil,
bloodshed and confusion.
The course of President Grant, in refer
ence to the Arkansas and Louisiana trou-
pies was com mended--the speaker declar-
ing his belief that the president was actu-
ated by honest motives.
During an interval of two hours and a
