TO BRO. REAGAN.

: me and much to my surprise yo
. have become to busy to contiuu,
I l have never taken my aairmitiy
yet. That the Peoples party 20.
sess all of the living principles o
the old time honoreG Democrat
: Party. l wanted You to get throug
with your first, or come To it, bu
you are too busy.
Well 1 guess you will allow m
to answer your interrogatorie
about the Congressional Statistic
&c.
Now as to your objections to m,
statement of the political standin.
of the 18th Congress there were
293 members (House) and YOU
say in the next Congress, "and il
the next Congress, which would
be the 45th you say l made it,
"279."
Now here is the 45th as gave
it to you; 18th Congress, Dem.
1856; Rep. 1877: total 1913. In the
18th Congress 1 left out II nation
al greenbackers, and in e 9th
Congress others four. IN all /
ask any man that doubts these fig
ures to do, is to write to the Hon.
R Coke, U S Senator, in regard 10
the correctness thereof
Then you make a cali ON all to
investigate or examine yours of
March 17th. Well here goes. On
the National Bank act, you say in
1852 when it was Feb 1868 but
won't say incorrect in one, iucor-
rect in ALL" because you are cor
rect in the Senate vote YOU gave.
Prof, in that March 18th say two
Democrats voted for the National
Banks, correct. Now let us hear
the Prof. again; "The Republi-
cans then are responsible for ii,
incorrect in this; the vote in the
Senate was yeas %, NAYS d. yeas
Rep. q, Dem 2-23; nays Rep 9,
Dem l2-21; now take your two
Denis and them add to the nay
vote and you viii have % nays and
only q yeas. So you see the Dem
ocrats could have defeated the Nat
ional Banking system, but they
did not sr11,r~H14e-1re Halls
of Congress as the friends Of the
people as yours of March 17th, or
fight the battles of the people"
Yes, in the language of Rev. 4.
they are Jim Dandies.
Now sir, when the act was voted
on in our last session of Congress
that would have stopped the pur-
chase of silver, &c, as my memory
serves me, los Denis voted for it !
and los Denis voted against it;
the 10 Popnlist voted with the ma
nority Of Denis, and made it the /
majority; and if the had voted with
The los we would have held them /
for the act. That is
what they did and what We would
nave done If they had Of gone
against US as your two Senators
lid III '63.
You must have been reading
! ticker instead of THE ticker in
-egard to J B Weaver voting to
echarter the National Banks. If
lie did he wonld have been in com
,any with Democrats. Call Cor
nan, Hampton, Jonas, Morgan,
nd Ransom, SC. in the L S Sen
tie.
Now [ will compare Weayer's
ecord with any Congressman in
he U S since he left the Republi-
ans and 1 defy a man 10 show
ince that time vote against the
interest of the masses. All! young
