stand and held the attention of quite

he found them that is, he spoke of
Taxation on everything, even matches,
on which the poor were taxed to
death and for which he blamed the

Greenback ticket without even saying
that they, the Grcenbackers, would
get along and run the machine of
gov ernment Without tax ationXa
2 lone thing that eases our 1mind is,
| Gf the profession of the greenbacker
! is not a humbug, as he called the pro-
fessionsIof other party polaicians)
that the Greenbacker has nothing In
common with the Communist.
Tramps and Kearaeyites. he even

bitter end. ia ssse.a

his work well, but the farmer got
another dog, called Hank, and trains

worked well, but the two together
would not work, xuarrelled. Nov
said the speaker, "Shep, who by the
way was shepherd, represents the
Republican party, Hank,a cur, rep.

and gets a terrier to tear hell's bells
out of the other two dogs-tohichhe

The speaker said that the sto ~
banded around by newspapers and
opposing politicians that the Green.
hackers have upholstered their farm
with mortgages is an absolute, false

speaker closed his discourse with AN

MIR. S. n. Jones, of Fennimore, took
the stand. saHe regretted that .hegW as
not so favorably ssituatrd as his col i
league finan sially, but trusted ~ the
success OF the greenback party 'apd

too soon I heard but little of his
speech, but Judging from the tone of
the people generally, their conYerss |
were few unless the amalgamation be |
