DO YOU KNOW HIM?

->@
There may be, and possibly are, some
people in this part of the west who do
not know what Maj. Anderson is. They
know him in Iowa. Listen! An Iowa
paper a couple of years ago evidently
knew the Major. Many Iowa people
knew him. But that Iowa paper to
which we allude went to the trouble of
collecting comments upon the politi-
cal acrobat, the major, and under the
head of "What is Its" publishes the
following excerpts from the various
newspapers and from speeches that
the major made when he was running
for Office as a republican, greenbacker,
democrat or almost any other party
that would ever favor him with anomi-
nation. Read:
***
1t is said that Major Anderson will
run for congress again this fall in the
Sth district. The gallant major will
probably find that he'll have to come
out at the same end of the hole he
went in at two years ago. Our advice
is, Major. let we'll enough alone, as it
has been demonstrated that the voters
can be hoodwinked but once success
fully.-Harlan Republican.

Upon the paramount questions.
Anderson is as good a democrat as any
in the state. He may not go into the
democratic caucus but his speeches
and votes on the floor will be all right.
He voted for the Mills bill because it
was in the right direction. He voted
for Carlisle for speaker.-Fred Leh-
man.

We, in common with hundreds of
other democrats, would prefer a demo-
cratic candidate where the chances of
election are anywhere near equal. But
as it is, Anderson's position is Il thous-
and times nearer the democratic stand
ard than is Mr.. Flick's-in fact he is a
democrat in all cXceptname.-Corydon
Democrat.

Major Anderson is taking his defeat
in good hnmor and does not seem at
all broken hearted. He is highly elated
over the success of General HARRISON

'tShow me a democrat and / will show

and 1 will show you IL fool."-Ander-
sons speeches while drawing $4,000 u
year from Il fat office under Il rcpubii-
can administration.
***
Anderson is not Il democrat, but if
elected he will have to vote for demo-
cratic bills and do precisely as demo-
Gratis want him to do. He has sense
enough to know that he will be watched
and that if he treacherously betrays
the people of this district in congress
his political life will come to an abrupt
end and he will have to step down and
out of a high salaried ofice.-Osceola
Democrat, September %, 1890.

Major Anderson has always been a
republican and could not be known to
curse the grand old party.-Sidney
Herald, Oct. IL, 1888.
