The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1871-06-17

mittce in 1868, 4 whose ranks was
made miserable lecause when Seymour
refused to let them make bis cabinet in
advance, continued to stab the party to
death.
When the honest, true, Democrats of
New Hampshire cut loose from the New
York and Boston ring of spectators
and mOnopolists, who use the Demo
cratic party to promote their private
and personal interest, and opened wide
the door IN this present Outspoken plat
form for the labor interest, not only of
the State, but with fair promise of aid
IN Cong 'ess, il swept the board-it
had by that act the prestige Of victory,
and the result is only natural. But,
friend Cameron, this is the exception
the State of New York ia, so far as the
old machinery is involved, the same as
in 1868. They have not even publish
ed the New Hampshire Democratic
Platform, which gave them the labor
vote and victory; nor Will Hoffman
step one foot into our financial platform
his position is fixed for him and he
dare not change one step. This New
ork and Boston ring, whose leading
organs are in Boston, the Post, and in
New York the EOening Post, World, and
Journal Of Commerce have fixed the ma
chlnery in the State Of New York and
in the State Of Pennsylvania, through
the Reading railroad and Pennsylvania
Central, and have the control of the
Democratic machinery there. The
same men, the same tools as they used
in 1868, when they elected Grant who
had sold out to them on the financial
and other monopoly questions before
hand, and deliberately stabbed Seymour
and bis party-to death.
In Ohio, as in New Hampshire, the
Democratic party have dared TO speak
without the tear of Wall street or State
street-this is an exception. Already
the South has been browbeaten and
cowed, and, so fear, will be most OF
the Western States. Money forms the
center of corruption, Democratic corrup-
ton is now everywhere, acting in
shaping things" and when our Con-
gress meets in October the evidence
will be snugly folded in the arms of
these monopolists, and our only course
will be to make our nominations of can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent for 1872, and then our work will
be to rally around our men and educate
ourselves and oar enemies for the tussel
in 1872.
We'll, inaugurate the practical work that
will force the two parties of capitalists to
cOalesce, and form one in name as they
are practically in purpose now, against
the people, who will be drawn by suf-
ferlng and starvation to work with those
who will save them from their enemies.
sat down TO write you a short letter,
to call your attention to the mean and
dishonest course of these newspapers
who rejoice on the New Hampshire
victory, but refuse 10 publish or advo-
cate either the platform or principles Of
the victory, and studiously avoid telling
their readers to whom they are indebted
for that majority which gave them the
cause for rejoicing.
The democracy Of this State Ct Maine
hold their State Convention at Augusta
on the 9th of June, and although our
principles will be rung in their ears, |
have little hope, for their principal organs
here are under the lead and control OF
the money rings, who would change
their editors Immediately were they tc
speak out their honest sentiments. You
will remember charitably that they are
not the proprietors you must 60 be
hind the desks Of the railroad Offices
and bank counters if you find them, a.
