Zatlon 10 connlve at. Renewed
laughter on the Republican side. ]
1t would be mercy to put its record
a million miles deep in the pit that
is mentioned in Holy Writ; and 1
may add that if a large and distin-
guished assortment of its alleged
statesmen were sent along it would
only be common justice. [ Applause
on the Republican side.
MORE RADIcALIsM.
"He said in Fairfield, September
rs, 1870: "The Democracy, as
usual, are loud in their opposition,
but what did they ever do when
they had chance? Here in Iowa
they stole the school fund and ma
tionally they stole the arsenals, the
navy, the treasury, everything that
was red-hot, and created the very
DEVILS rebellion. And those men
appear and ask for your support.
They should come on bended knees
asking your forgiveness for the un-
speakable crimes they have commit
ted and the wretched miseries in
tiicted upon our common society.
Loud applause on the Republican
side.
"He said in Keokuk, September
Is, 1871: THE record of the Re-
publican party appeals to the can
Gid judgment of all men as unim-
peaehable, save, perhaps, that it
was too lenient with the leading
Democratic conspirators. The same
old gang, save those who were shot
or hung, are again eonspiring to get
possession of the Government next
year. Woe to them, for the loyal
hosts will crush them, and crush
them forever and forever, out of all
possible danger of such a misfortune
to our common country
"He said in Oskaloosa, Septem-
Der 25, 1872: NO Republican can
ever, under any circumstances, have
any part or lot with the hungry, re-
bellious, man-hating, woman-selling
gang corporated under the name of
Democracy, name SO full of stencil
and poison that it should be blotted
from the vocabulary of civilized man
and handed over to the barbarism
that it fifty now and in all the past
represented Prolonged applause
on the Republican side ]
''He said at Stiles, September II,
1878, in referring to the financial
policy of the Democratic party J:
But, then, what could you expect
from the poor, blind, diseased, de-
crepit, dismal, damned old Demo
cratic party?' Prolonged laughter
on the Republican side.'1
1t does not make pleasant reading
by any means, and shows that Cen
eral Weaver was a Radical of the
Radicals in his day. That he has
since changed, it is believed, was
because he could not induce the
Republican party of Iowa to make
him one of its supreme rulers, and
not because he differs much ia
theory with the party. The Cincin-
natl convention of last May, the St.
Louis convention and all other con.
ventions of the Peoples party up to
date, save the one at Omaha, have
demanded through their resolutions
payment to the old soldier, bounty
and otherwise, ON the gold basis,
Gold ran up to 2S1 during the war
therefore every soldier who drew
bounty or pay from the Government
during that time and who was en-.
titled to 81 under the Weaver bill
ought to get $2.S1. This is some
thing for the people of the South to
think over who are even remotely
considering breaking away from the
Democratic party in the face of a
Republican force bill and Weaver
bill to add about $500, ,OOO, 900, more
or less, to the public burden for the
benefit of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
