seems to BE- great dissatisfaction among III,
Grsenbackers Of this county in regard d
the action taken By Mitchell and Smith
and they condemn those two gentlemen
and their course in this county in the most
bitter terms. 1t is strange Why they do 20,
unless the Moonshiners and Grrenbackers
are one and the sAme. One of the most
prominent Greenback men, Of the county
and candidate, was in this city to-day and
he said ii one hundred armed men did
accompany Mr.. Gardner ON his asseains
tour through the county, il would not pre-
vent HIM from being shot down, and he
further said it would take ten THOUSAND
armed men to neforce the collection OF the
railroad tax in this county. II seems as
though the Greenback party Of St. Clair
was nothing else than an anti railroad bond
from which all Of the troubles
Of this county have resulted.
