WEAYER'S BITTERNESS.

The following extracts from Weavcr's
speeches delivered in Iowa will be found
in the Congressional Record of July II,
1888, of the first session of the 50th con
grcss.
He said at Alba, Iowa, OH July 18th,
1866:
81 want to congratulate you first, tcl-
low-citizcns, ON the supprcssin OF apurcly
democratic rebellion, gotten up by demo
Gratis for the democratic purpose OF dis
sevcring this union and perpctnally cs-
tablishing human slavery. Now and
forever it is established as an eternal
truth that the democracy in no place or
state can ever be trusted with govern
mcnt. AS party it should disband'
lust as a section of it did at Appomat-
taX."
He said at Ccntervillc in 1867;
Again has the democratic party OF
Iowa spoken. Why, sir, lam astonishcd
beyond measure that party with re.
cord SO utterly vile and wretchcd and
wicked should be so lost to all shame
and deccncy as to make an appearance
before the loyal people of Iowa. ..
"Thcy should be tramplcd i'll the vii
derness of oblivion, and never more re
turn
He said in Il Joint debate with Col
II. II. Trimble, at Bloomfield. 'n Sep
tcmbcr +, 1865
Here we have the old fight over again
The Confederate democracy, north ant
south, in which the famous coppcrheat
division of Iowa appears, are agail
contestiug with Grant for the safety o
the Union. As at Donclson, he propose
to move on their works at once, ant
there is no escape for this rank, traitor
GUS horde, except in another surrender
Charge on them, fellow republicans, ant
spare not one, not even a deputy roaI
supervisor, from total political annlhi
lation."
He said in Bloomfield on Scptcmbe
&c, 1869.
What is the Use of further arraignint
the democracy with all hoary crimes a
the bar of public opinion? We know tha
its acts comprise murder, treason, theit
arson, fraud, perjury and all crimes po:
sible for an organization to Connlve al
1t would be a mercy to put its record
million miles deep in the pit that is mel
toned in Holy Writ; and l may add tina
if a large and distinguished assortment
its alleged statesmen were sent along
would bc only common justice"
He said in Kcokuk, September II
1871:
"Thc record of the republican part
appeals to the candid Judgment CT a
men as unimpcachable, save. perlap
that it was too lcnent with the lcadin
democratic aspirants. The same ol
gang save those who were shot or hum
are again conspiring to get possession
the government next year. Woe to ttcr
= for the loyal hosts will crush them TO
ever and forever cut off all possible da
ger of such a misfortune to our commt
country"
1 He said at Oskaoosa, September ,
: 1872:
p mo republican can ever, under AZ
circumstances, have any part or lot Wi
the hungry, rcbellious, man-hatine, W
!, man-selling gang corporatcd under L
/ name of democracy, a name so full
. stencil and poison that it should be bic
ted from the vocabulary of civilized m;
: and handed over to the barbarians TIL
t it so fully now and in all the past Ii
y represented
When these declarations were throw

t doubt that uttered, if not the wor
contained in the extracts read beto
\ this house, words equally as forciblc a
o substantially similar. have nothing
a take back with regard to my course
:. the issues that arose out OF the war;
