The democracy OF Lafayette county
sends greeting to Alfred VI. Law, its
standard bearer for congress. and re-
deems its promise Of 3 tuil majority de

over both Underwood and Boyd is a
pretty good showing, and fairly entities

Mr.. James \, Boyd lives in Middleton
township, Lafayette county, Mo. Mir
Boyd was recently 4 candida tie for con-
gress, IN this, the seventh congressional
district, and in one of his speeches in
Pettis county modestly stated that he
had met his opponent, Mr. Lay, in de-
bate in the Middleton township above
mentioned, and completely annihilated
him, and that on another occasion he
had met the writer in discussion in Clay
township, Lafayette county, and used
him up. Now let US see how this thing
panned out. In Middleton township.
though Mr.. Boyd lives there, Lay got
S12 votes, while Mr.. Boyd received but

Boyd got away with us 50 badly. Lay
received 419 votes, while Mr.. Boyd got

St. Louis Republican: Fish Commis-
sioner Shaw of Iowa, lately made an ex-
petition TO save the young game fish
from the receding waters OF the bay
Gus on the upper Mississippi, and his
report OF results shows that it was worth
while. The expedition went on the lit
tie steamer Dart. Operations were
commenced north OF Lansing, and the
bayous on both sides of the river were
thoroughly seined as far as Burlington.
The commissioner estimates tina, they
saved at least 5000, 900 fish from de-
siructIon, the greater part OF which re-
turned to the waters OF the Mississippi.
Several carloads We're, however. sent
by rail to interior streams and dumped
in. The FISH saved were black, yellow
and striped bass-crappe, pike, etc,
and were from one to four inches in
length. 1t was very good of the fish
commissioner to pick them up and take
them out Of the cold-and the cxpetii-
ton cost o2ly $500.

The above lines in italics, were his exact words,

and depressed state of mind, having myself al

ranks of our army was our greatest need; but
after that interview had discovered had an
other and very serious difficulty to contend with.
for one do not believe the people ready to
forget those days of sorrow, when the people did
come forward aud loan their money upon these
bonds, neither do believe they going in any
sense to repudiate one iots of their Obligation.
Their next point is national banks. Well this
question they must always remember has two
sides to it., and the system was just as much an
outgrowlh of the war as was any of the different
series of bonds, and the funds invested in the
bonds upon which the banking is done are to have
the same credit as all the rest. The owners OF
bank stock are not to be blamed for the system.

were not convenience to the people. they would
not patronze them. The man who borrows money

of the national financial question but for other

no remedy. This whole movement is one
of prejudice where the leaders seek through

Greenback Sentiments.

The tendency of the greenback doc
trines towards revolution and Communism
is seen in some of the ntterances of the
organs OF their party. In a recent num-
Der OF the Camden Herald appeared the
following:
Unless the Greenbaek party succeeds, there
Will be revolution in this country The cry
will be piUa Ia C0Hsm4Nt.
In the last number OF that plper the
editor publishes long article, at the
head of which appears again the above
threatening paragraph. which he asserts
is absolutely true. The article to which
we refer closes as follows:
Now we have faith to believe that the Green.
back sentiment Is gong TO rule this country in
the interest Of labor and productive industry
without the necessity of taking up arms, but a.
Inc case stands our statement at the heal of this
article is true in every particular. Open your
eyes, and you will see 10 that light.
If the Camden Herald was alone in
making threats of violence against capi-
talists and the existing state of society.
it would be thing OF no Consequence
Uub III Tic w cct the SAME Spirit which
is manifested in that paper appears
more openly. The following is a speci-
men OF the Communistic appeals which
are being sent out from headquarters at
Chicago:
Young Men Of tie Wea and tie South We
can clean all Of those Eastern pirates out ofhomes
and the property they have stolen We can unite
aud whip them TO reason and 10 a COMPREHENSION
Of the right. We can leave tue country northeast
OF the Aheghsny mountains to pay the national
debt. We can unite aud make the Southwest the
garden Of the world. We can open the Ns.i..in.
p river and float our billions Of produ ce down II.
waters to market. We can send oar snrnlns
products to foreign countries by wav M
Southern cities. With the products we can line
the West and South with railroads, open ne =
mines and make the East bowling wilderness in
which will roam the ghosts Of the witch burner.
and Of those Puritans who made fortunes in sun.
plying the south with slaves stolen Fl ON the Goa !,
OF Africa We can do all THE and you will take
this for your repast in the near future If yon Dc
not burn your i'll gotten bonds aud LET THE
PEOPLE LIVE. Organize Greenback clubs
with bsyonets in reserve.
Toe same hand is visible in a series OF

papers entitled "lfot Drops" and circu-
lated by the million. These are illustrat-
ed, one OF them representing the en-
ployees of the United States Treasury
throwing bundles of greenbacks into a
furnace. followed with the appeal Burn
the Bondsr' and with the mischievously
false charge that greenback money had
been burned and bonds issued in its
place; another represents "a poor work
ing man with both his hands fastened in
wise, which President HAYES is screw
ing up; the last page has a stone cutter
at work with a ring in his nose
and chained to the wall. while Augustus
Belmont is represented as standing over
him with a whip followed with lying
statements of the law, and the usual ap-
peals to violence and rebellion. Here is
the last appeal OF this pillar of the green
back movement, which we commend to
the sober thought of those who have been
drawn into sympathy with it in hope that
it may lead to something better. On the
contrary it points straight to perdition.
In the organizat of Greenback clubs. we
counsel every sbe-bodied member of these Or
CARNATIONS to become As proficient as possible in
The manual of arms. In time of peace it is well
to prepare for war. In every greenhack club
there should be a drill-msster-that is in every
club whose members are brave enosgh to stand at
all times, under all circumstances, to defend their
rights a. citizens. We, the people, are in rebel
hon against the un.axed nobility of this country .
We, the people, propose TO have our rights, peace
ably and by means of the ballot, if possible,-by
the BANONET If we must.
