"BoB" COUSINS ON WEAVER.


.H#.. "hsy Nuthuytus
Congressman Cousins. OF Iowa, spoke
at Marshalltown, Iowa, last Friday
evening. In tho course Of his remarks
no paid his respects to General James
II. Weaver In q way that delighted his
audience. After showing that In nj least
one instance Weaver had falsely charg-
Cd the Iowa congressional delegation,
MIR. Cousins said: 2
THE PopOcratc cause personlned "a

or viciousncsS and revolution which

Altgeld, this gloomy character typiAes
all that In expressed IN the threatens
Ing propositions OF their calamitous and
revolutionary platform.
For u quarter OF u century this crea-
turc OF ncgatlon has been the pcssimiHt
OF politics, tho hypochOndrlnc OF his
tory. by HIS false and frantic teaching
misery has been led astray, misfortune
oft misguided, and poverty enticcd 10
act against Its better judgment and the
common veal.
"TumbllnG down the back stairs out
OF II Republican convention many years
ago, vengeance entered his heart and
took Possession OF his powers. From
that day to this madness has been tho
supreme and domlnccrlng master OF
his mind. Misery has been his muse,
and mortgage his tavoritc theme. When
the Sky has not been tilled with clouds.
nc has hated the stars because they
SHINE. Wherever he has lived and
Sronncd. men have become doubtcrs,
reSSimiSis. and haters' from contaSIon.
Wherever he has Travelled and discourse
cd, he has distorted truth and aroused
the prejudice OF ignorance against thu
government. His trail for a quarter Of a
century hns been blight as clearly
marked upon The earth as the black
ness OF scourgc or the devastation Of
storm. He has blown out the light OF
hope. and every prosperous man and
thriving institution has been his spe-
cial victim. In his eyes thrift is u ty-
rant enterprise an evil, and success
sin.
'Of all the stlSmas that were ever
placed upon the reputation OF an lnno-
cent community; OF all the culamltSs
that ever bctell great and prosperous

oueered the credit OF commonwealth
this curious and benIyhtcd creature
Is the worst and gloomIest visitation Of
the evil one.
Kansas has been scourgcd by hot
winds. Grasshoppers. Populists, and
drought. while Nebraska has been next
to her all the time. Mississippi has been
drenched with the blood OF innocence
by the murderous hands OF lynchers.
while Illinois, the adopted state ~ the
immortal Lincoln, must bear with pa
triouc patience tho lEnomlnIous name
