II is evident from the manner in which
certain Democratic conventions in THE
State have been induced so indorse the
financial policy OF the Republican party
that the money power will make an effort
on the seventeenth to capture the State con-
vention. Certain gentlemen who have allied
themselves with the Eastern capitalists, and
who have staked their political future upon
a scheme to make the Democratic party of
the country subservient TO the bondh gliding
interests, would rather see Ohio lost to the
Democracy this fall than cha. the people
should triumph. 1t is the boast OF the Dem
Ocratie party that it lsgisates for the poor:
that wealth and capital can take care OF
itself The bankers and money lenders own
the Republican party. They have dictated
its financial policy for thirteen years, and
that policy has tended 20 make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. The Democrats
Of Ohio, on platform made in the interest
of the laboring masses, carried the State
last fall by majority Of 1000. With
similar platform they can carry it
by twice 1900 this fall. The Republican
party Of Ohio has mildly declared against

enemies Of Governor Allen. Without a plat
