lOurnment OF this Congress, a few days ago.
a solemn fact went into history. II went
into history that the fret reduction .n the
appropriation Of the peoples money THAI
has been made for sixteen YEAR was made
by this much-abused. traduced and ma
ligned Democratic House % Representa-
tiyes. Congress adjourned after relieving

THIRTY MILLION REASONS.
don't come here and ask YOU u trus.
i the Democratic party, my Republican and
/ Independent friends, without giving YOU
I good reasons FOR 10. There are thirty mil.
/ lions 81 reasons in the measure / have spOk-
en- 81 10 you-all solid reasons, every one
81 them a dollar in the market Laughter
and applause Nobody will dispute that.
hUf when Won stick that fact az a speaker 81

something Of the kind. Renewed laugh

4 ing here in the interior % the state don't

Il does seem 10 me that people had better
look AZ home and reform in quarters where
they can save money, 20 that. instead %

have 80 next time.
II T. something remarkable that this Re-
publican party, talking loud and long about
it. patriotism, only succeeded IN makingthe
/ appropriations every year little higher M
IN this much-abused old Democratic party
got there with it. Representatives. and not
very well organized. either. We can do a
great deal better next time. They have
just been learned how this last season. Give
the Democratic party full chance: give II
"a 4 It>lAtAA. A. wei a. = house OF repre-
sentaiives, and. after a while. a Senate. and
you will see old-fashiOned times. old fash
Toned economy. And remember the power
j. In your hands. II the Democratic party
should betray YOU and become faifhles- and
corrupt a, the Republican party j.. YOU can
just give Il whipping and turn il out, too.
But this year i good year % give this
Radical urchin a good licking and turn him
out and put some one else in.
THDEN.
But. - saws some one. .. we have heard
that NJ. Tiideu has 10 rigkt % the title ~ a
kefOrmer.f Since Mr.. T!lden's nominal
ton have carefully examined his record.
Governor Morton and General Harrison say
that be wa secessiOnist during the war.
Nv only answer 20 that j. two things: First.
that such a charge was never made till he
became a candidate for the Presidency; and
second. that two YEAR ago he was elected
Governor Ofthe great and patriotic state Of
New York against Gen. John \. Dix. an
officer % the war Of 1912. and distinguished
officer 81 the late War. by more than 5000
majority. Queer people in New York.
They don 9 know that he was a Secessionist
down there. lie has lived there sixty-three
yeArs-that j his age. He was there all
during the War; and made speeches during
the War. but they don't know that he is 3
>ecessionist there. or else he would not
have beaten General John 4. Dix for Gov
error 81 New \ Ork, would hes l. New York
''secesh by ~. 600 majority; Morton ought
% have gone there two years ago and told
them not 10 elect this secessionist over Gen
eral John A.DiX. II they had only found il
out then they would have beaten him for
Governor, Of course, and then we w0ui6
not be troubled with him a. a candidate for
the Presidency. But they did not find IL
out then. aud will tell you WHY they didn Z
-beceu>e 10 wash Z true. take the entire

ioriiy, - Al answer 10 al that Morton and
Harrison and their followers can say. When
a mans neighbors AZ home say be j. a good
man care but little what any body else saws.
Now, Morton lives out here in the State
OF Indiana. and I would not say that he
would state any thing that he did not think
was true. on, no. Laughter IL is not
necessary for me 10 >ay that 20 you. Re-
newed laughter. And then the truth j..
that always along in the month Of August,
just before a Presidential election, polit- |
clans OF the "blOedy shirt order get like /
ratilesnakes and mad dogs. They say and
do things they do not understand them
selves. Morton. out here in the state 81 In
