But although .his. men tfrous system of

amply able to pay wags yet the result
is a constant reduction of wages and a
constant increase in the millions piled
up by these cormorants.
Tlie railroad corporations fostered
and fattened by your 'party at the ex
pense of the body of the people, have
in the last few years approached so

the nation turned over bodily to high
waymen. The people of the nation are weary
of being plundered under pretense of
law. Robbery is still robbery no mat
ter what tho form wkich may be given
to it. There is no longer justice or a
consideration of the general welfare
anywhere. The pe )ple groan and cry
out for relief from intolerable oppres
sions and are answered with sneers and
called in derision "calamity howlers."
For many years we looked to your party
for relief from these oppressions. Time
has at length convinced us that such
hope is vain. The enemies of the peo
ple have taken oinplet'; possession of
your organization and it is today the
very emblem of Wall street greed and
avarice without a thought for the mass
of the people.
These facts and this condition of
things thus faintly outlined has driven
me from tin; party thus prostituted to
the country's ruin, and lias compelled
me, with thousands of others, to at

rights and avert those dire calamities
which in all times have followed wick
edness in'this world.
Aud this being the condition of mind

THE MARION INDE
Col. Polk was a man o
ties, of unquestioned ho
pose, and of unequaled
pacity, as his remarka'

attest. He was a most eloquent
speaker, ana every one who hai
heard him will at once recall th
pression ot intense earnestness an
swerving loyalty to the causA of
great common people which ehVrai
lzed him. Unable to combat lim
