The next is from letter written by Rep
resentative Struble, of Iowa:
81 know that among those of my fellow
members who sat near me and who were
quite faithful attendants upon our Friday
evening meetings, Gen. Warner was re-
garded as unreasonably and uniustly OBJ
structing just legislation in the interests of
deserving soldiers, and that his course was
the more remarkable because of his having
been one of the most gallant soldiers in the
late war"
remember your speech made near the
close OF the session. in which you plead for
justice to our soldiers, and arraiened the
Democracy for neglect OF their interests.
and for utterly failing, and indeed refusing.
to bring forward any important measure for '
their relief, while protesting to intend to do
them justice; and think YOU also censured
Gen. Warner for failing in his duty in the
premises"
Gen. Warner-Is he a Republican or
Democrat VI ="
Col. Taylor-He is a Republican. and

! but l knew enough when | went to WASH
/ ington on the first Monday in December last to
| know what the Union soldiers wanted; but
strange to say it took him until April 81 to
| find out one single thing that they wanted
| and to make a report. Here is the speech
he made in fourteen minutes. Exhibiting.
Here is a speech by the Hon. George L. Con-
verse, one Of the best Democrats and one of
the grandest men in this country. He had
eight minutes, and in that time he made q
speech which covered the points, and then he
elaborated it until, with the statistics, l
doubt whether it could be read in much less
than an hour. He stated his sentences bet
ter, he put them in better order, and he made
his speech read better. So, too. here is the
speech of the Hon. Beriah Wilkins, another
distinguished Democrat, and most excel
lent gentleman, who is running for Congress
over in the other district. He had only two
minutes to speak in, and yet, here is printed
a speech that it would perhaps take fifteen or
twenty minutes to read; he made his points
in his speech and then elaborated upon them,
as he had right to do.
Yet Gen. Warner holds me up before this
audience for doing what Converse and Will
kins and two hundred others have done, and
for what he himself has done to . greater
extent than all others put together. He
made 1Ss changes in one speech-yes, lSs.
But tell you in all that speech there was
one change that he didn't make. He left in
the words great applause" That was the
essence of his own criticism. Laughter.
These words great applause" were printed
by himself. He said he struck out some of
his speech-that he wanted to reduce it, bat
he did not strike out great applause" Here
is applause, there again, and here is zap
plause from the Republican side" He
slapped the Democrats in the face. You
know he was not always. Democrat
Laughter. Here he is to-day, coming up
and abusing me for what the Republicans
have done since the war, when at that time
he himself was Republican. Renewed
laughter.1 And oh, he Was a Republican
when he was one. He goes by extremes.
A voice: IF he is backslider / won't vote
for himP'1 You know Tom Corwin used TO
say something about Paddy's pig:
'swhen it lived, it lived in clover
But when it died, it died all over"

TUp to this time we have been unable to
procure a copy Of the speeches made by
Gen. Warner, as taken BY the stenographer,
though We had engaged them and were will
ing to pay for the same, and willing to
print the speeches at our own expense. The
supplement cent out by Gen. Warner not
only entirely suppressed Col Taylor's
speeches, which he would have gladly fur
nished free of expense, but published as Gen.
Warmers speeches matter which he never
spoke, in part, and in part omitted that which
he did SPEAK, which fully explains his refusal
to permit the Democratic and Republican
committees Of this county to publish the de-
bate, and bis reasons for not letting bis ste
.nographer furnish US copy of his speeches
as he made them.
In view of these facts we can only furnish
to our readers the speeches of Col. Taylor,
as he made them at the time, with additions
of such matters as he then stated to the au-
dience he would add in printing, with such
additional matter as is pertinent to the
discussion, with brief synopsis of Gen.
Warmers speeches

to conduct the services over the re-

and excitement, added to the fact that
his buggy broke down on the trip, the
good man arrived at the last moment.
Without waiting to hold any extended
conversation with the friends of the
deceased, he led in singing hymn, and
then began:
Death comes to all. Though the
deceased was stricken down in the
bloom Of life, she -"
at was the old man." whispered one
of the friends at the minister's elbow.

knew that death was liable to come

and relations. Death -"
