MAJOR DANIEL
was introduced by the Hon. James d. Rich
mond. He was greeted with great cheer
ing and applause. His opening was grand
and beautiful. The platforms OF the TWO
perties were explained, and the fact was
plainly presented that the two parties agree
upon the issue that taxes shall not DC IN
creased. The remedy recommended by
the Readjuster doctors is that nice bottled
nostrlun
THE RIDDLHBERGER BILL
for all the ills that sprung from the public
debt. These charlatans and quacks nave
lived on this public disease for ten years.
Malone, Cameron, Riddlebergcr, and other
leaders, are like the old doctor that turned
over 10 his son ne a legacy an old cancer pa
tient. The young man cured the patient,
and the old doctor got mad; accused the
Young man Of being fool; that he could
have derived as much profit from that can
Ger ~ the Readjustcr leaders have de-
rived for ten years from the. public
debt. This illustration pleased the au-
diencc. and seemed 10 be appreciated.
The reduction OF the expenses OF the state
government were proved 10 be Democratic
measures. Without any Rcadjuster assist
ancc EXPENSES have been brought down
from more than one million to less than
800. 600 per annum. III any Readiuster
present can show that his party has ever
saved one cent TO this people or lessened
their taxes one cent viii agree to eat the
paper their acts are printed on in Che pres
ence OF the audience. What have these
peoplc-loving Readiustcrs done for the
people? Nothing; absolutely nothing.
They have drawn their salaries, and come
back to the people full Of promises, beg
cling 10 20 back, and continue TO do nothing
but draw their pay. The Riddleberger bill
expects by curious device 10 wiring
money from the creditor by selling to The
taxpayer certain scrip for fifty cents in the
dollar TO pay his taxes with. This forces
the
DESTRUCTION OF THE SCHOOLS
in the vain effort to destroy the coupon.
This measure, If itweTe possible to make II
a law, will increase taxes, increase the pub
lie debt, and destroy the schools. The tax
certificates under this fraudulent law can
be undersold by the coupon-holdcr, and
thus destroy the purpose for which the law
was proposed.
The fiery eloquence OF the speaker when
his genius was fully kindled by the conduct
Of Lewis and the oppression OF the people
Of the Southwest by his deputies, created
the widest excitement and applause that
seemed to be unanimous. Many ladies were
present. They seemed to be rs much inter-
csted in the splendid oratory rs the men.
Lcwis's record was drawn in colors that
will not rub out from the memories Of this
people. Many people OF Scott suffered ar
rest and Imprisonment at the hands OF
Lewis's cmissaIies, and the audience
seemed TO appreciate the picture drawn.
The third man OH the CoalitiOnist ticket was
styled the hazy tail on the gllbelnatorial
ticket. His description OF Blair brought
down the house with mingled laughter and
applause. The speech and the meeting was
a grand success. The meeting was a large
one for the short notice, and will make n
lasting impression upon this people. NJ.
