OF the National Republican party. entel-
Ell the canvass. aud appealed for the suf-

months after taking his seat he voted TO
have these bonds paid in gold. thus
falsifying his record pledges TO the
people who elected IN, and selling
himself to the moaey power. BY this
act the public debt. with its accruing
interest was transferred to Europe. and
became foreign debt. instead of home
debt, draining out continually the gold

This man again in 1874 was elected to
congress, and in January. 1875. voted for
the ruinous measure for withdIa wing
the greenbacks from circulation. known
as the Sherman Resumption Bill. which
has wrought such ruin in the country.

people trust such man? He is placed
upon platform that directly contra
diets his own record on financial cues
