the Methodist Church would like some Of
Farmers" cash. As we said in the beginning
of this article, people who live in glass
houses should never throw stones" When
Farmer" undertakes to Vsntilate the financial
condition of a gentleman the latchets OF whose
shoes he is not worthy to unloOss, he had better
look twice before be leaps once, especially as
this gentleman don't carry twenty thousand
dollar bond in his coat pocket, his portion Of
the Broadbent swindle--sll Of which the poor,
laborne men, the widows and orphans would
have had to pay in the end if the bubble had net
hursted We would ask Farmer whether
he pays the poor laboring men who work
for him from early morn till late at night their
wages without a quarrel? The good Book
says, The lstorcr is worthy of his hire.
Now does Farmer" live uD to this christian
principle! Another little question we would
respectfully ask 3" Farmer ss long as he likes
to be known by that non de plume I'VE suppose
he takes this name from raising that crop Of
kidney beans.( We would like tor you to
point out singls act of yours while in official
position, for the elevation OF the poor labOring
classes. We would like for you to show h1.-
you ever elevated any poor man? On the
other hand is it not from the hard earnings
wrung from the labOrDg classes whom you
have tried to keep in ignorance ane paupsrlsm
that has supported and sustained your family?
! Did you ever know man raised to the highest
position in the gift OF the people Of this State
who willingly sacrificed his honor for the sualI
sum of FIVE hundred dollars to stand in the way
of internal public impTOvemsnts2 People
who live in glass houses should never throw
stones" Even the watch that Farmer
wears, | am told, was bought with lottery
money, and the heavy chain attached to it.
have always been a democrat de>csn led FROM
democratic ancestors and have yet to vote the
first republican ticket but hereafter / shall
vote for that ticket and work for its support.
The issue in this State under the White Man
Ticket" is nothing more than pre- judlce;
nothing more than an appeal to the worst
passions Of men, and by this secret hoOdwnk-
ing cndsavoring to ride into power. You cant
. deceive the people any longer. What do ySu
care for the interest OF the people? What do
you care so that you can hold power? The
E fiat is gone forth You can't, in this State,
adopt platform that is antagOnistic to every
principle Of right and justice that is contrary
TO the principles of every democratic State in
the Union.
You can't stem the current You might a.
we'll attempt to dam the fsaming and dancing
} waters Of Niagara Falls as to stem this onward
progressive political new departurism. The
I negro question is entirely settled and settled
beyond a resurrection. You are FOSSILS ID poll
tics. You are sort Of . man krOwn as RiI

and this fall We will try and wake you up. Al
