Joint X. Skinner, greenback candidate for congress. in itis spetfeh last Thursday said that Daniel W. Voorliees is an honest green backer. Mr. Voorhees is a candidate for the United States senate. Another speaker, Rev. 11. Z Leonard, urged people to' vote, for George Major and George 11. Brown, because they would vote for an honest green backer for the United States senate. What is the logic? Is it not tliat a salary-grabbing copperhead democrat is an honest greenbupker, and tlhat Major ami Rrown will vote for him for United States senator? Can’t nationals sec the drift of such talk? Think of it. While Sassafras-pole Moore, the pieman, is in the conoiliating business he ought not to forget tiie fees of the, wiUiesses in theßert-Mooreorgan suit. Those seven poor men who tramped out of town eight miles and back to persuade William E. Moore, fiat candidate for county treasurer, that a man of ptopyrty ought to pay a poor mail what he owed lilui “are as jusUy entitled to their fees as “Feet” Parker was to the rebate on the dead dog. It will be just as cheap to conciliate those nven as to pay his quota of tiie Brown importation fund, and far more honorable. Marion L. Spitter has a letter, dated September 27th, stating that Mr. Ilrowii told greenbackurs at Idaville, White county, ‘‘that Jasper was desperate, but they intended to import one hundred voters, ami Horace E. James was in the. market and they intended to take.him in.” This conversation was after his talk with Dobbins on the train near Burnettsvillo. Mr. Brown mu'st be in earnest about going to the legislature to be at so much expense. But then Mr. Browu is au advocate of honesty and reform, and both old parties are so corrupt. Rev. II- Z. l<eonard said in his speech last Tiprraduy that 10,000 times 10,000 hearts j,in the United States were ladviv wkhsorrow becauseotthe, hard times resulting from republican thisrule. thousand times ten ibousnud is one hundred million; and us the entire population of the JJnited States, including millionaires, national bankers, office holders, railroad managers, and other wealthy people, does not amount to half that number -»doca not amringt to fl-fty-mllßoini _Bro.

George Major may make use of the fofv&ding paragraph in his campaign speeches of 1880 without royalty. Another evidence that the natibiiiti greenback party of Jasper county is a pup of the old democratic dog Is seen in the scheme of Brown, C. H.
