An Irishman's Reason for Supporting
Major Strait.

It is we'll known fact that Maj.
Strait supported Gen. Schields, the
Union soldier, for doorkeeper of the
house Of Representatives last winter,
in place of the southern confederate
general who was finally elected. An
1rishman Of Scott county writes a
letter to the Shakoree Courier giving
his reasons for supporting Major
Strait, closing as follows:
''Now Mr.. Editor, I write to say
to you, that in that contest between
a rebel general, and true Irish
Democratic soldier, Mr.. Strait, the
Republican member Of Congress
from this district voted for my coun-
tryman, Mr.. Schields. [ honor Mr..
Strait for doing SO, and he shall in
return receive my vote, and | hope
every lrishman in the district will
resolve likewise. I want to show
him and every American that my
countrymen have never gone back
Of the man that honors so distin
guished son Of old Ireland.

Strait. The Intellectual Democracy
have always affected to object to
Mai. Straits mental calibre and IN
telfectual requirements, but detrac-
tion has stopped with that. Now
that forms but one Of the disqualifi-
cations, defects, faults, offences,
which the Republican say are indus
triously disseminated and enlarged
upon by Mr.. Pehler and his co work
ers.
Now, this is Straits fourth can
vass. Heis no stranger in his dis
trict. He has lived in this state from
a boy. He is personally the most
popular man in Scott county, as has
been proved repeatedly. That fact
is conclusive that the bits of scandal
that go to impeach his personal in
tegrity and character as a man and
gentleman are untrue. They are
invention, wilful fabrications for po-
itical purposes.
That is not all. They are late in
ventions, recent lies, just coined.
They were never heard of before.
They are not only known to be false
among Mr.. Straits neighbors, but
they. have never in former campaigns
been whispered against him, even
in the remote corners of the district.
They may be called Pnhler's issue,
put in circulation by and for him,
P9hler's currency. They resemble
the fat money in which Pehler has
subscribed belief, in being irredeem-
able, based on nothing, easily made,
easily increased in number, getting
dirtier and dirtier as they are used.
We thus stamp the whole issue,
made or yet to be made. We have
no time nor patience to take the
petty ISLANDERS one at time. No
man Of good sense will be influenced
by personal charges against candi.
date, trumped up on his fourth cam.
paign for the first time.

We frequently hear it stated that
Major Strait has done nothing in
Congress to benefit the people Of this
district, and especially those living
in the frontier counties. The men
who make these statements are eth.
er very ignorent or else they merely
make them for political effect. There
is no man in Congress who is more
ardent and successful worker than
Major Strait. The present extension
of the time of final proof for pre-
emptions is due almost entirely to
his efforts, he having made trip to
Washington almost exclusively for
that. The change in the timber.
culture act which puts the holding
of a timber claim within the posi-
bilities is also largely due to his eff
forts. The bill for the equalization
of bounties to soldiers is his bill.
The bill for the relief of settlers on
railroad lands was his bill. The bill
which passed the House and is now
on the Senate calendar for back pay.
ments Of pensions is his also. Be-
sides he has introduced and passed a
very large number of special bills,
among the number that for the re-
lief Of Mr.. II. G. Petersen of this
city, by which Mr.. Petersen received
$4,000 for property destroyed by the
Indians in 1862; also one for the re-
lief Of DR.. A. Muller, also of this
| city, which has passed the House and
is now on the Senate calendar. He
is at the head Of the Republican
members on the committee Of Mill.
tary Affairs, and no member on the
committee is more diligent than he.
No other Congressman is more
prompt in attending to the multifari.
GUS calls Of his constituents, no one
of whom, no matter how humble
has ever written 10 him without re.
ceiving an answer. It is true he is
no great orator, but he is one Of the
successful workers in Congress
which, to us, is much better than
reputation for windy speeches. Nc
Republican ought for a moment he,
state on his duty on election day
between Strait and Pehler who has
no qualifications for Congressman
besides being died-in-the- WOO

Democrats all over the district are
beginning to shun him. Mr.. Peh-

that he was hard money Demo crat,
but he is so anxious to receive the

letters to several prominent Green
hackers in the district declaring his
