It is said by those who have heard
Gates speech that it is slimsy,
trashy affair, with very little of argu-
ment or reason, and no life nor pow
er in it. The Sigourney Nloes says
Gates had no speech to make. He
wanted to impress the idea upon the
minds of his hearers that he was an
agriculturalist, or, as we thought,
that he could eat dirt whenever the
prospect for an office would justify
the diet. The most forcible point in
the speech was the fact that while he
tried to practice law in Ohio he only
weighed 124 pounds, but when he
came to Iowa and commenced i'm
proving government land, he imme-
diately began to take on fat, and now
he weighed 2l2 pounds! This was
indeed a aceighty argument, and ii
his own words are worth anything,
comprised his principal qualification
for seat in Congress. He insisted
he was farmer. The fact that he
don't work on farm made no diff
erence. So long as he was rich and
able to own numerous farms, and
hire other people to work them, he
ought to have the privilege of taking
the world easy and have the pleas
IRE Of calling himself the representa-
tive of the grange in this congress
slonal contest. He knew he made a
good draft commissioner i'm the days
when Democrats did not want to
fight the South, and why could he
not be equally as successful in the
halls of Congress. His speech
throughout was 80 barren Of ideas,
and so void of anything like well
defined principles, that his forty or
fifty hearers went away wondering
why it is the SO called reform party
thrusts timber of this character upon
the people when we have the oppor-
tunity Of being represented in Con.
