THAT "EOW DOWN MOSBACK DEM
OCRACYn OF GEORGIA DID II.

The Calamity organ says the outrages
in Georgia against General Weaver
were not because he is an ex-Unlou
soldier. .'Ex-Union soldiers have spoken
in the southern states since the war and
have not been molested." The Calamity
organ says that Weaver was compelled
to cancel his engagements is not denied.
Why: This organ knows that it was
becauseW eaver was an ex-Union soldier
and Immediately because of alleged
arbitrary and cruel treatment on the
part of General Weaver while at Pulaski.
Leaving that aside let us see what was
the cause of the ''egg throwing affair,
| by this professed apostle of pure and
honest government, not only IN the
entire union, but in the state of Kansas.
The evidence is ready in the same
! issue of this paper. A letter signed by
w. II. Braselton says: Il am satisfied
that we have a majority in the state Of
the white and also of the colored vote
| but the old mosback Democratic party
will condeScend TO anything on earth to
| W hcSp Al Io"Si. III paw VI
using the shot gun on him {the colored
NAM the old mosback Democrats
have been heretofore using Doodle and
whiskey and that is the greatest danger
of our defeat at the ensuing election, as
there is nothing too low down for /;
! mossback to do = x = / am sorry to
know that some Of the people of Georgia,
the empire state of the south, would be
so low down as to rotten egg such an
honorable and upright gentleman as is
General Weaver. We don't want the
whole people OF Georgia to be condemn
ed on account OF a few low down tyran
zeal mossback Democrats"
Here is an explanation, that ten to
one will never please from Democratic
standpoint. Weaver was not egged be-
cause he is an eX-Union soldier, but be
cause lie is not Democrat. This low
down ''old mossback" Democratic party
will condescend to anything on earth
TO keep in power. Thus runs the in
dictment. And we find that instead OF
using the shotgun to intimidate coiored
voters, these "oid mossback Democrats
have been using Doodle and whisky" on
him. There is nothing too low down
for a mossback to do.
From aRepublican standpoint it matters
little whether the prejudice against Gen
eral Weaver comes from ex Confederates
against an eX-Union soldier or from
Glow down old moSsback Democrats"
and against any man who does not agree
with them politically. 1t is matter of
viliainouS unreason that prompts these
''low down mosSback Democrats" to
rotten egg an honorable gentleman"
either on account of sectional prejudice
or political hatred. Democrats viii bear
III mind that this picture of "the low
down mossback Democracy" of Georgia
that Democracy that violates the free
dom of speech and the right of the bal
lot, that persecuteS men for opinions
sake, that heaps insult, humiliation and
personal violence upon honorable men
on account OF their political opinions,
that will debauch the ballot by the cor
rupt use of doodle and whisky, and
IN fine Twill condescend TO ANYTHING on
earth to keep In power" Is a picture
drawn by men whom they are seeking
IN Kansas to put into power. What
must Democrats think of their party IN
Georgia, and can they believe they are
better thought of here in Kansas than
III Georgia? Has the caiamityi.es in
Kansas any respect or consideration for
Kansas mossback Democracy except to
get their votes and to absorb the Demo
cratic party IN this state as they boast:
That kind OF abuse of Democracy
ought 10 aid the cause CT cooperation in
Kansas, and it especially ought TO make
Democrats enthusiastic for Nr. kies,
who publishes with approval such stuff
In his paper.
