WHY HE WAS A REPUBLICAN.

The famous speech of Robert g. Inger-
soil explaining why he was Republican
is timely now that he is about to again
enter politics; Il am opposed to the
Democratic party and want TO tell you
why. Every ordinance Of secession ever
drawn was done by Democrat
Every man that tried to tear the old flag
down was Demociat. Every enemy this
republic has had for twenty five years was
"a Democrat. Every man that starved
Union soldiers, refusing them a crust in
the extremity OF death, was Democrat.
That man who assassinated Abraham
lincoln was q Democrat. Every man
that sympathized with the assa sin--eyery
man that was glad the noblest president
ever elected was dead, was a Democrat
Every man that wanted the privilege of
whipping another man TO make him work
for him and pay him with lashes on the
naked back, was a Democrat. Every man
that clutched babies from the breasts of
shrieking. crouching mothers and sold
them into slavery was Democrat. Every
man that swore he would never pay the
bonds or never redeem the greenbacks,
every maligner of his country's credit
was Democrat. Recol-
lect it Soldiers, every scar you have OH
your heroic bodies was given you by a
Democrat ! am a Republican"

The fine Italian hand of John Baldwin
has again made its appearance in Miller
politics II did not accomplish anything
but of course afforded John some iun and
displayed the gullIbility Of about thirty
out OF eighty Miller Republicans. If john
wants to foment discord somewhere he
generally enters the arena occupied by
Miller politicians where the soil is usually
found nicely adapted to such style of
political farming. Certainly we exonerats
him from all blame in the matter-possi-
