senator Plumb at LeavsnwOrth,


The Leavenworth Times of the Both
says; Senator Plumb spoke to large
assemblage nj the corner of Fifth and
Shawnee streets last night. His speech
was an able effort and attentively listened
To by an immense crowd which had
gathered. He spoke upon the live issues
of the day, and touched upon the free
dom of the ballot in the north and the
total absence of the same IN the south.
He showed up the gross and glaring
crimes of which the Democracy has
been guilty, and predicted what the
reign of the Democracy would be in
case il succeeded in getting into power. II
it did gain the election this year itwOuld
be through the agency of trickery, fraud
and bribery in the north and intimida-
ton and murder in the south. He
showed how the Democracy had done in
times past TO obtain their ends, and
they would resort to more extreme
measures in the future, if it was
necessary To do SO to obtain control of
the government He then passed in re-
view the acts of the Democratic party
and showed them up in all their hideOus-
ness, and asked if the men of this cOun-
try were prepared to change their pres
ent condition of prosperity, content
ment and happiness, for one of uncer-
tainty and distrust. The situation to-
day is a most critical one, for in a
months time we are to decide whether
we shall continue as we are now or turn
the control of the government over to
men in whom We can have no confidence
whatever. The speaker made it plain
business proposition and put the ques-
ton upon plain, solid business basis,
and asked il u change from certain pros
perity to uncertainty and distrust was
desirable. The country is prosperous
now, a change would not help it any
but on the contrary would be productive
Of harm, and prove detrimental to the
most vital of all the interests of the
Countrywide business interests. After
Senator Plumb had closed, short speech
es were made by Col. Anthony and
others and the meeting adjourned.
