FIFTY YEARS AGO.

How MUCH OF A COPPERHEAD Is
HE?-h bout one year ago, Henry l..
Palmer, the Democratic candidate for
governor, presided at war meeting
in Milwaukee, called to stimulate the
raising of troops. taking the chair,
Mr.. Palmer said "He who can stand
here and not be oppressed must be
more than man. We had all lived for
a period of time under the most bene-
ticent government ever seen.-We
have lived under it for period of SO
years. 1t has brought us up from a
bowling wilderness to populous coun-
try, and made us one of the greatest
nations on the face of the earth. A
few years ago no one would have been
bold enough to predict that any one
would endeavor to strike down this
republic. But that evil is upon US,
and we have lived to see the dav that
Webster and his compeers prayed new
er to see, when this great and benefc-
ent government is torn and threatened
with entire destruction by internal and
bloody Instructions.
"a most gigantic and stupendous re-
bellion has arisen to destroy, with
bloody and paricidal hands, this fair
fabric raised at the cost of our fathers
blood, and now we are called upon to
put it down and sa7e our beloved land.
| trust we stand here to-day as Ameri-
cans only, and that we shall not fail in
taking eifectiye measures to answer
the call of our country and send succor
to our brothers in arms and peril in
the south. Our troubles sprang from
small things till they now over-shadow
the land. We have armed men and
sent them to the field, but the govern
ment now de manls an additional force
to prepetuate republican institutions.
Will you not reipond to the call? I
trust and belle, e you will"
Then the man who would call Mr..
Palmer "Copperhead' after such noble
sentiments uttered by him, ought to
be boiled in pitch till he is as black
outside as he is Within.

Bond Dealer Makes Vicious Attack
on The Credit Of Mesa County

A vicious effort to injure or de-
stroy tho credit OF Mesa county is
being made by an eastern bond-deal-
er as result Of the refusal to pay
the voting machine certificates. un-
til the courts pass upon the legality
Of the warrants.
Payment has been stopped, pend

Weiser. who requested the county
treasurer. Benton. Canon to withhold
