4 QUESTION OF FACT.
How Many People Took Part In the
Third Party Convention Which
Nominated Lee Barnes for
Representative.

The Laddonia Herald takes theLEp-
GER to task in reference to a statement
it made as to the number of people
who took part inthe Third Party meet
ing at the Courthouse last week which
nominated Lee Barnes for the Legis-
lature. The Herald says that there
were 1888 persons present" and that
the LEDGER claimed there were II
persons participated. If there is any
one thing upon which the LEDGER
prides itself, it is in stating facts in
it's news columns, political and 9TH
erwise. The records of the secretary
of that meeting will show, or ought
to show, that on the vote for chair
man of the meeting Mr.. R. III. Cau-
thorn, of Mexico, received 7 votes
and Lee Barnes 10 votes. Ten and
seven make seventeen. We think,
perhaps, there were 33 present in the
room, as there were quite a number
of Democrats and other curiosity
seekers. A gentleman named Sipple
was secretary. We invite the Lad
donia Herald to write him an open
letter and ask him if we were not cor
rect in our statement in reference to
the vote on the organization of the
meeting. The Herald makes great
to do about there being 33 who were
willing to sign a petition in order to
get a ticket. We have no doubt but
what there are SO persons in this
county and perhaps 100 who would
sign any kind of petition for any
kind of purpose. We have conced,
ed all along that there would be
about 100 votes for the so-called Peo
ple's Party. We have an idea that il
John Jones would start a party in
this county he would find 33 people
to follow him without any platform
at all, or with any kind of a platform.
In the absence of John Jones Bill
Smith, or any other man with any
kind of principle or no principle al
all, can, perhaps, secure a following
of 33 people. The LEDGER had nc
idea of mis- stating any facts in refer.
ence to the meeting. Thirty three is
a larger number than seventeen, two
is double the number of one, but
neither number cuts any figure wher
it comes to the total vote of this
county. Be the number II, 33 Oh
1000 who take part in this social
ed Peoples Party, it is just SO many
votes against Cleveland, Stone, Dem
ocracy, honest government, tariff re.
form and every other relief claimed
to be sought by this party.

From the st Louis Republic.

1t is not likely that the People s
party, so-called, can make much
headway this year in the Democratic
South in view of the record of Gen
eral James Il. Weaver, the Peoples
party candidate for the Presidency
General Weaver is an old-time Re.
publican. He was one of the bitter:
est Republicans. 1t is a matter o.
history that he left the Republican
party OF Iowa because he could not
absolutely control it. 1t is under
stood that Weaver S friends are claim.
ing that he can carry Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Arkansas. This report, if true,
argues that the people of those states
must be very ignorant of General
Weaver's record. No man ever serv.
ed in Congress who tried to add more
burden to the common people of the
United States than did General James
B. Weaver.
While in Congress he introduced
and persistently advocated the bill te
pay Union soldiers the difference
between gold and greenbacks and
appropriating $300,O0O,OO0 in g
lump for that purpose, to say moth
ing of other big appropriations thai
would have been necessary later.

HIS OPINION OF DEMOCRATS.

HIS OPINION OF DEMOCRATS.
The clerk read as follows: "These
are some of Weaver's utterances on
the Democratic party made in pub
lie speeches. He said at Abba on
July IS, 1866: Iwant to congratu-
late you first, fellow citizens, on the
suppression of a purely Democratic
rebellion, gotten up by Democrats
for the Democratic purpose of DIS
severing the Union and perpetually
establishing human slavery. Now
and forever it is establishing an eter-
nal truth that the Democracy in no
place or state can ever be trusted
with government. AS a party II
should disband, just as section Of
it did at Appomattox."
"He said at Centerville in 1867 :
again has the Democratic party oi
Iowa spoken. Why, sir, / am aston,
ished beyond measure that party
with a record so utterly vile and
wretched and wicked should be SO
lost to all shame and decency as tc
make an appearance before the loyal
people of Iowa. They should bt
tramping in the wilderness of obliv
ion and never more return Laugh
ter on the Republican side
"He said in joint debate with Col
II. H. Trimble at Bloomfield or
September 4, 1868: Here we have
the old fight over again. The Con
federated Democracy, North andSouth
in which the infamous Copper-heao
division Of Iowa appears, are agair
contesting with Grant for the safety
of the Union. AS at Donelson, ht
proposes to ''move ON their works
