THE MAN.

General Weaver neither uses tobac-
CO nor intoxicating liquors, nor does
he swear, and never did. But few
men served during the war without
contracting one or both of these vile
habits in some degree. His exem-
plary habits are more remarkable
from the fact that he was raised a
Democrat and was for several years
a Republican. For the last q years
he has devoted his energies to the
service of the people and in defend
ing them against the encroachments
of the money powers. Whether on
the tented field, in legislative halls
or in private life his record is clean
cut and most brilliant From the
time he arrived to manhood he has
been a most industrious student Of
the science Of government, of the
history of political parties, of public
men and measures The financial
questions have received his most
earnest attention. Upon all these
subjects he is the best posted man in
America. He is possessed of the
greatest energy and industry. < He
labors from twelve to sixteen hours
of the twenty>four from Jay to day
and from year to year, and was
never known to be tired. His ply
steal constitution is only equaled in
strength by the vigor and power Of
his intellect. He is a plebian by
birth. His veins are not tainted
with royal blood, Goldfish aristocracy
or American kangaroo snobbery or
English-aping monkeyism. He was
born and raisedon a farm. He IS
one of the toiling millions. For
twenty years incessant manual toll
was his lot, and all his life he has
been laborer, in fields of pros
ductive industry. He is the friend
of the people, and the champion of
the rights of the man who earns his
living by the sweat of his face. In
the present eliminating contest be-
tween the people and plutocracy, be-
tween the oppressed industrial mas
ses and the favored, pampered and
fostered classes, every impulse of his
heart, every fiber of his generous
nature and the warp and wool of his
whole being are for the people and
country. In 1877 he revolted against
the financial policy and boodleism of
the Republican party This brought
on an irrepressible conflict with the
G. o. p.
As DICTATOR on the stump he has
no competitor. In his canvass for
Congress the Republicans pitted
General NJ. E. Cults, their greatest
orator in Iowa, against him on the
stump. They canvassed the district
in joint discussion. The result was
Weaver's election by 1000 majority
in Republican district of usual
majority Old, O00 subsequently he
canvassed Texas in the interest OF
Wash Jones for governor and against
the Democratic party He was bill
ed to make fifteen speeches. The
Democratic State central committee
selected three of their greatest and
most powerful stumpers to meet him
by turns in public discussion, Hub
bard, Giddings and Throckmorton.
Each of these gentlemen took a tilt
at him; but one tilt satisfied them.
They abandoned the joint debate,
and he filed the balance of the APP
pointments twelve, unmolesteb by
any Democratic champion. He has
met the party lions in their dens
throughout the country. Fanueil
Hall and Cooper Union have been
made vocal with the music of his ell
.oauence. No man in America IS so
feared and hated by the gold-bugs,
gold trusts, gold commune, Wall
street and the plutocracy as the two
continents as General Weaver. And
no man is SO admired and beloved
by the great mass of the people OF the
South, the Mississippi valley and the
middle Western States. He has
made more speeches for the free
coinage of silver than any other man.
He has carried the free coinage ban
