According to precious announcement
Capt. W. {. Alldrecge, greenback candi
date for congress In this district, addressed
afew of the faithful at Smiths hall, las

ing and at 8 o'clock there were not NOR,
than fifty persons i'm the hall, the greater
number Of whom were republicans. Their,
was a very slight sPrinkliug OF democrats
In one OF the front seats tine repor .er no
ticed Col. Ritter, very prominent
greenbscker, while a few less prom
inent Personages We're scattered
about the hall. There were not more than
q dozen in the front seats, the majority of
the audis nee congregating near the door
where they remained in spite of Mr. Reese's
| appeal 10 come up In the front seats, where
they could hear better. About 8 O'Clock
Mr.. Robt. Reese, the republicau-greenback
candidate for probate judge, called the
meeting TO order and introduced the speak
er Of the evening.
Captain Alldredge made some
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
i'm substance as follows: As the nominee
of the national greenback labor party for
congress, in this district, / am here this
evening Tor the purpose of present.
ing 10 you the principles upon
which that party bases its claims for Your
suffrage. Ii had no hi. her aim than
OF simply presenting my individual
claims for a seat in the American congress.
l would not be here. but believing, as do,
that the principles of the greenback party
are necessary TO the prosperity of the gov
eminent. | am here for the purpose of
enunciating these principles The leaders
of the Two great parties have abandoned
principles. There is or there is not the
NECESSITY OF A NEW PARTY.
If either of the great parties have demon
strated that : their legislation is directed
towards the perpetuitv OF our ins,itu-
tions, and hence for the bene6,
OF the masses. then a new party has re
mission, but if the policy oS these parties
has been in the interest of an individual
favored few, the need Of a new party is APP
parent. Let us SEE what has been the
Course OF legislation. Has IL not been i'm !
the interest Of Il favored few and against !
the masses? The speaker then asserted |
that during the past few wears millionairrs |
have sprung up like mushrooms He a..
serted that IL was impossible for I man To |
sSitimately earn one If those colossal for. |
tanes, and proceeded 10 point out. 10
his Own satisfaction at least, how
i hal been done In the
ir,t place, said the captain, We will define
AVIATION. The government is dependent
:ntirely upon the people for its revenue.
There is no other way. Money collected
I'll of the peopIe for the support OF the
government in proportion la each in,li-
RITUALS ability to pay, is just taxation.
,ut money collected from the people for
he support OF favored few is robbery.
The speaker next rambled ON to
