Nearly two years ago was In st.
Louis. Now, there Is nothing pe-
euliar in simply having been &C st.
Louis. But 1 WAS there also IA 1851.
LCheers That was Just after the first
battle OF Bull Run, aud st. Louis was
thoroughly, wildly, Insanely rebel,
IL was worth = mans life then al
most To Oe seen Ia the Uni0n uni
form. A Union Sfficer about the
hotels, where eOngregAtsd sh8 nolsest
secession slemsnts, was hOoted 1T and
derided, and told with sneerz, Yea
you'll go South, and you will come
back as the Union soldiers have just |
come back from Bull Run, with your
tails tucked But, ~ remember it,
none OF our troops fr6m Iowa eVar |
came back In that shape. Laughter |
and applause. That was the feeling |
In st. Louis In 1861, and this feeling |
found there again, in the same spirit |
and In the same places, rs-expressed |
by the very same men, when l WAS |
there in 1874 1t was then / heard /
the news that the Democrats had /
eIseted a maturity Of the National
House, and these same fellows who /
q Oh E-n
treason and dsridlng Union soldiers
ia 1861, were exultant and dellriOus
with joy this last time. / remarked
10 q gentleman who had been . CON-
rade with me i'm the war This looks
like the same set Of fellows who were
spOuting treason here st the BEGIN
ming of the late war: What Is it thst
10 exciting them sO, aud what ails
them ? We asked squad Of them
what it was that made them feel
30 good p / heard one Of them say,
we have got them this tlme we can
beat them this time We asked who
they meant by them p They replied,
Well elect the next President, and i
then we've got them. Then we'll get
pay for all our property destroyed Ia
the war, and then We'll get pay for
our lost slaves. We have the House
overwhelmingly now, and IN 1876, the
Centennial year, We can get the Sem
ate and q Democratic President. Then
we can appoint our committees to
'ult ourselves, and choose our own
southern Claims Committee or South
srn Claims Court, and make good our
Osses by the war; They mean that
hey would get pay for al the prop
srty destroyed by the Union army,
Ind pay for AL their emaneipated
dawes" /
