Q:'
SiMirtunalmrg (S. C.) Free Lance.
Swapping Roosevelt for a trust tool
Jo a proposition that will not Interest
democrats very much.
Colina (0.) Democrat: "Cleveland's
sound advlco" continues to take up
considorablo space In the newspapers
that supported McKlnloy for presi
dent. Just what it exactly is they
novor toll us.
St. Anno (111.) Record: If crops
turn out good this year it will bo be
causo the republicans are in power;
If they turn out poor It will be because
thoy wcro afraid the democrats might
get into control noxt fall. The crops
havoau eye on 'em.
Colina (0.) Democrat. The Eighth
district democrats, in convention at
Urbana on Monday, nominated Henry
McCraclten for congress and reaffirmed
the Kansas City platform without the
aid or consent of G. Clovoland and
the trusts. The democrats of tho
Eighth know how to get together.
Carrollton (111.) Gazette: The ad
vocates of Alton B. Parker for the
presidency give as thoir reason for
supporting him that "thero is noth
ing against him." Some fellows bo
foro supporting him would like to
know "what lie is against," and they
aro not unreasonable in this demand.
Schuylor (Neb.) Quill: Because Edi
tor Corcoran o tho York Democrat
dared to denounce the railroad for
charging exorbitant froight rates on
coal his contract was cancelled and
his mllcago book taken up. Corcoran
can well afford to pay cash for his
railroad trips if he could buy coal at
reasonable rates.
Sandusky CO.) Journal: It was an
Ohio mob that lynched a negro who
shot a policeman and then riddled tho
dangling corpse with bullets. Carry
the news to Mississippi and don't for
fvnf fn mnntlon that it took place in a
strong republican community.
Anna (111.) Democrat: Better far
another defeat under anyone, only
that he is a worthy man and a sincere
democrat, than a hope of victory, or
even victory itself, under the leader
ship of a stalking horse for tho most
corrupt plutocracy the world has ever
known.
Rockville (Ind.) Tribune: The Chi
cago Chronicle is opposed to "Bryan
ism," is tho organ of tho D. M. Parry
movement, is favorable to Cleveland's
nomination, and is owned by John
R. Walsh, banker and trust promoter.
Its influence in circles where demo
crats aro as scarce as hen's teeth is
unbounded.
Rockville (Ind.) Tribune: When
brought to a show-down, by the demo
crats the other day, the republican
majority in congress killed an anti
trust amendment and also one to pro
vide for an eight-hour day for labor
employed on contract work for the
government. Does the ox know his
master's crib? Well we should guess!
' Belief onte (Pa.) Watchman: The
lynching of "a poor, helpless negro"
at Springfield, O., on Tuesday, would
have been "one of the most atrocious
outrages ever perpetrated in defiance
of law and ordor" had not Ohio given
the largest republican majority ever
piled up in that state at a very recent
election.
...i m nhrnnlole: One by one
the rights of the people fall before
the privileges of monopoly. When
will the people get even with these
wrong-doers?
Clearfield (Minn.) Republican: A
little thing like the postofflce scanaal
don't worry tho republicans. They
aro used to such things and naturally
expect the public to overlook them.
Mesqulte (Tex.) Mesqulter: Grover
Cleveland went fishing on the day of
the last national election and now he
is writing magazlno articles on the
"Opportunity of the Democrats." If
the Stuffed Prophet would do less
talking and more voting his words
would have greater weight.
Pocahontas (la.) Democrat: The
Register and Leader suggests that the
democrats of Iowa unite on "Buster
Brown" as a candidate for president.
It is evident the Register and Leader
is anxious to see democracy unite on
sometning aixjut vu uu equui wim
Trust Buster Roosevelt.
Otsego (N. Y.) Tidings: But with
the nomination of Cleveland the dem
ocratic party would have to. repudiate
the principles for which it has stead
fastly contended in years past and
which have become a part of the po
litical gospel of more than six mil
lions of voters. The Otsego Tidings
does not believe in sacrificing prin
ciples which it holds to be funda
mentally right for the sake of a vague
chance of winning the election with a
corruption fund. It has no sympathy
whatever with such idoas.
Lamar (Mo.) Democrat: They (the
reorganizers) -would commit the party
to the defense of the great mo
nopolies that make paupers and
multi-millionaires. In short, they
stand for the classes instead of the
masses. This is the story of the con
test in 1896; it is the btory of today.
Those who say it is whether or not
tho democracy shall make silver tho
issue, make the statement purposely
to mislead and deceive the people.
Sedalia (Mo.) Democrats The high
wayman who violates the law by rob
bing one person is sent to the peni
tentiary. The trust manager who vio
lates the law by robbing a million
people is politely requested to discon
tinue his operations. And yet we aro
told that wo should show respect for
our executives and our courts!
Cameron (Mo.) Sun: Grover Cleve
land is being boomed for the nomina
tion for the presidency by James J.
Hill, the western railway magnate.
Mr. Hill asserts that the former presi
dent is well known from end to end
of the Union. Quite true; entirely
.too much so by the rank and file of
the party, who found themselves fol
lowing a false idol after the sage of
Frlnceton had received ' his second
term to the White house.
Wantage (N. J.) Recorder: We can
not but view the efforf to make the
democratic party take up Cleveland
and play the part of "second fiddle"
to those sharks as a national lamlty.
The progress made under this admin
istration toward a military and Im
perial government leaves the people
but one party to turn to for help to
keep the republic alive. That is un
doubtedly the democratic party. When
they turn to it as they will, sooner or
later, shall it present them with a
Grover Cleveland? Perish the thought!
