OF AZ before the law. He could NOT
tell how it is in this county. bu,
where he came from, candidates wers
bought, and bought their nomina,
ton, but there is not enough money
made to buy the preachers. Since
the days of Jesus no such liberty has
been preached as that which is adyo.
Gated by the party which he belongs
to. He talked about tramps and the
commune, and said the cry of the
commune was only made by the men
who have no principle to advocate
We must elevate the plain of reform.
LeSlsiate righteous law; that is
what he contemplates, but he did not
tell what the law should be. He will
astonish the natives when he gets TO
the Legislature.
AT the close of his speech an ex-
ecutve committee of seven was ap-
pointed to manage the Greenback
movement TIL the approaching Green
back convention provides a different
management.
On motion county convention
was called to meet in two weeks from
that day. Mr. Snyder, from Port
Royal, arose and wished to know
whether there were Greenbackers in
every township in the county from
which a full convention can be OBJ
tanned, but no one could answer his
inquiry.
An amendment was offered that an
election for delegates TO hold coun
ty convention be held on SATURDAY. a
week. A vote was taken on the
amendment, but no vote was taken
on the original motion.
The President requested Green
hackers to remain after the adjourn
ment of the meeting, for consulta-
ton, after which request Mr.. c. C.
North was introduced
He opened by referring to a re-
union at his fathers house on the last
night of the year 1870, when the
great fire devastated large portion
of this town, and dwelt on the terri
ble alarm of fire! firei He CAME to
sound the alarm of financial fire
that is raging IN this country, which
Is more terrible than the fire In q
town, because it bears oppressively
on labor. He wanted to know if
either Republicans or Democrats had
told the reason of the trampinr of
the people-why so many people of
all kinds are on the road, and if they
had been SO told, what is the remedyf
Have you been told why farmers are
fleeing to the West why merchants
have been selling goods for less than
they cost Has any one given a
remedy for such financial fire? 1t is
not true that it is over-production
and while on the over-production
point he dove-tailed Don Cameron
into the speech, but that is not so
hard to account for, when one con
siders that he and Mr. Speer have
little game on hand IN which the Rev
erend Mr.. Doyle is to figure when he
gets to Harrisburg, as an advocate of
Mr.. Speer for United States Senator.
and he thought thrust at Don Cam
eron might be in order, because he
also Is said to be candidate for
United States Senator Cameron has
been a ghost to the Democracy for a
long time, and he seems to be "a ghost
to the preacher and Mr.. North, but
We guess it is on account of Mr. |
Speer He might have here spoken
Of Mr.. Speers grabbing proclivities !
as illustrated in the salary grab.
He complimented that venen-
be man, Mr.. Tilden, but forgot 10
say that the old mans barrel of coin
that was emptied in Oregon for cleo
tors should be filed with greenbacks !
That was point he missed From
Tilden he went to President Hayes, |
and declared him as put into Office
By fraud He did not tell that the
laws of Louisiana provide for the
throwing out of all votes cast in dis
tricts where voters have been intimi- |
dated. He did not tell that General |
Sheridan declares that thousands of
people have been killed in Louisiana
to intimidate Others, to get Repubh-
can voters out of the way He didn't /
quote Sheridan or any other reliable !
person on the question of frLuds
from an intimidation nd-point. |
After the question of the Hayes
fraud, he presented list OF failures
in business in the country, and said
The Greenbackers present nothing but
the truth, and the truth is In the in
terest of every one, but he did not
add scrap of historical truth by tell
lug that an over-issue of greeDbacks
will result in a state of currency such
as that which overlook the Continental
money in l1Sl, when one cent would
buy one dollar of paper money, aud
then the list of failures included almost
every one, and that tens of thousands
Of people hurried from the populous
to the West, on foot, and there
made new homes, where there we're
any expenses, and where they
could hoe living out of the ground.
MIR. North is either not read in the
events of that currency, or be would
not tell it; certain it is, be saiG moth
ing about it, and yet it would have
been so to the point to illustrate the
list of failures that overtake an ire
deemable currency, when its day has
been run. He talked of the taxes, but
he forgot to say that The property OF
the State pays 81 per cent. of the State
and local taxes, and that the United
States bonds are paid By coin that is
secured mainly from customs. lie did
talk about the consumer having to pay
for the things Cd which customs are
but there again be failed
to tell that the property-holder is
larger consumer, in a majority of cases,
than the man who owns no property.
