confined 10 the six warmcst months in

SHINE becomes preferable to the shade,
trees do not obstruct the rays of the

who were not elected, the republican

The Erie, Pa, bank president went

Zle him.
The gospel is pretty good thing

Bill English had bribcd his son into

The War on Weller.

The war nude on Mr.. Weller from
whatever source 1t comes is in the
interest OF corporate robbers. The
old parties .lrc proinse in resolutions
which antagcnize these creatures Of
the republican party. but which re-
main, IN the full strength OF u robust
manhood without SO much as a pro-
test from either party in congress.
Undoubtedly the mass OF the people
in this district without regard to
party, are in favor OF pnoting the
railroads, ..clegraphs aud bank mo-
nOpolies under inst control of law.
Unfortunately for the success OF
such measures, the mon who stand
mt the head Of these old organtza-
tons stand in with the corporate
robbers aud thwart every attempt
TO fegisl;te for the wealfarc OF the
people. 1t was so IN our Legislature
last WiHt~I. ~ ID ~ LIZ SoHci sst''
Senator Swceny introduced bills
looking to wise legislation upon
these matters in orr state; none OF
them became laws because such Is
not rcpublicanism in Iowa. Con-
gressmen Reagan, Weller, laple,
Cook and Morrison introduced into
congress bills governing transpor-
tation, telegraphs, railroads, bank
ing and commerce which should
have been passed months ago
through the House Of Representa-
tives, but which are either defeated
or permanently pigeonhold in COM
mittee, because anti-monopoly does
not seem TO be democracy in con-
gross. The old parties, before the
people, profess to favor the control
OF monopolies by law, but when II
comes to legislation they are like the
man who favored prohibition, but
was opposed to its enforcement
Measures professedly democratic
that would tighten the burdens oil
the toi!ers, Mr.. Weller, with the
Western democrats, supported
Eastern democrats, however, com
bincd with the republicans and &c.
complished their defeat. 1t is be.
cause Mr.. Weller favors these meas
ures that certain professed demo
Gratis who labor in the interests ol
the corporate robbers, desire his de-
feat and IRE scheming to accom-,
plish that result, preferring Z
republican to one who represents tn,
principles these very men profess
simply to deceive the people and Il
betray them and their interests int
the keeping OF monopolies. Be
cause Hreenbackers are in earnes
fighting the unjust assumptions
privileges and powers OF the varie,
corporate monopolies OF the country
il why Greenbackers demand tn
denomination and re. election OF Nj
Weller. The action Of congress up
on matters OF vital interest to tn
producing classes, forces. the con
victioH that Mr.. Weller is too demo
cratic for democrats who scheme i
the interest OF the railroads, Of til
national banks. Of untaxed million
, aires, Of telegraph companies who's

tai may reap the harvest brougl

Democratic Opinion.

We must confess that We are 1T
loss to know the meaning OF calling
our congressional convention ut the
early and unreasonable date which
has been fixed, and, with others can
only believe that it was done through
influences antagonistic 10 demo-
cratic success. Whether or not a
convention will be held in this cuun-
ty we have no. learned. but we do
know that the general sentiment Of
our voters is for the denomination Of
Hon. L. H. Weller, and such being
the case u delegation favorable to
him viii doubtless be sent from ALA
makce to DEBORAH On June 10.
Clayton county is also solid for him
and from what we learn the demo-
crats of the entire district are almost
unanimous for him. They argue
everywhere; Weller caucused with
us in congress, voted for Carlisle,
has stood and voted with democrats
for all party measures and for tariff
reform. What more could any dem
ocrat do? By all usage and prece-
dent he is entitled to II second term"
We have spoken on this matter be-
foe and will only reiterate now that
the Journal is for the man who can
beat the republican nominee and

and unohjectionable candidate us
