herself compelled to grant 10 the
Irish tenant farmers the opportunity

long payments at low interest OF the
tracts they cultivate. This is pro-
gress but where have we been
drifting under Republican admins
tration particularly in Iowa, and
this is the point on which ! particn-
larly wish to address you. The lste
Democratic Convention inaugurated
IA new move in the politics OF the
state, and behold the revolution
already commenced by their quietly
retiring the political wire workers
to back seats and placing IN old
Granger in nomination for Govern
OF. On this platform with the canai
ations Of the state can act III har-
mony. The alliance entered into
between the Nationalists and Dem
ocrats, leave each free to act indie
pendently, though acting against 4
common enemy, like the French
troops under Layfayette and the
Patriots ct l776 under Washington,
they unite d TO defeat common en-
envy though each retained
their Nationality. What
was the result, the Americans were
not demoralised by lighting side by
side with the troops Of one OF the
most despotic and grasping non-
archs OF the day, but the French
troops carried back with them to
France those liberal and patriotic
sentiments they imbibed by contact
with those noble patriots, that after
tepeatcd efforts has revolutionized
France aud Hlade her one OF the
greatest Republics on earth. Eyen
50 l look for similar results from,
this alliance between the Nationals
and Democrats. Let it be distinctly
understood. Phere Is no fusion in
the general meaning the word, it Is
only reniizatien of the fact that
there was no chance Ut driving the
Repu blicaDs from power in this State
without a combination Of all the an.
tago nistic elements, hence the alli-
stalee; There has been no sacrifice
Of single prancaplc Of the National
platform or party: on the contrary
the democrats have done all that
could be expected in meeting rs half
way, and the nominee for governor
is i foe to all monopolies and cor
pdlate exactions. Above all he is
one Of the producers, anu hiss 'a-
bored hard with the sweat OF his
brow to open up and deyelop the
State. Now compare him with his
opponent, naaional banker, q learn
he is interested in six OF these insti-
tutionsy, y money lender and owner
Of vast wealth. The right sort Of !
man to follow In the footsteps Of his
illustrious predecessor, and if there
should any contumacious one
armed soldiers cross his path h.
sion,a hang them up rs the speediest
way t. gel nd Of them. Friend
Mead, never expected t. see such
a start towards reform I'm Iowa. It
is always darkest before day. 1t was
when the Children Of Israel we're
banned in on the shores Of the Rel
seea' by Pharaoh and his hosts.
