THE GERMANS AND THE SPRINGFIELD
CONVENTION.
What Herr Won Hessing Thinks About 1t.

What Herr Won Hessing Thinks About 1t.
Translated from the Illinois staats zeimng (edito
ral)
The proceedings of the so-called Farm
ers' Convention, held in Springfield day
before yesterday, are a terrible mockery Of
the much boosted Parliamentary educa-
ton OF the American people. No Polish
Starost could haye used greater violence
to force horde of Gallecian peasants to
cry es to all which he ordered than
the Chairman of the Farmers Convention
did TO his independent farmers In the
Munich FteageRden BIaettern is q picture
OF a Prussian Lieutenant, who, with angry
gesticulation, screams out to soldier stand
ing straight and silent before him. "You
internal scoundrel, if you want to talk,
hold your tongue ~ In just the same
fashion did the presiding officer of the
Farmers Convention call and pound to 81
lence every one who ventured to offer a
proposition looking toward Improvement,
or who wished to make remark on any
OF the resolutions presented by the Com
mlttee. His conduct was precisely like
that OF the Mayor in q well-known Ger
man story, who calls out to the peasants
who protest against the clergyman who is
forced upon them, Oxen that you are. /
will listen to your entreaties: You shall
and must take this gentleman for your pas.
Tor. Now i ask you; Will YOU or will
YES" INV 0"iO
And IN this fashion a platform wa,
adopted by these honest" farmers which
Endorsed the most unbounded paper-cnr
rency swindle. Every man who dared ttC
say word in favor of national honor ant
"OneSty was put down. War was declared
