TIL URM1N MIKES Il BID TO

FOR THE PRESIDENCY,
By Saying that Property Nust
Rule.

Thurman's speech in the Senate,
IN reply to Blaine last week, was
iraught with declarations of princi-
pies that areas antagonisuc to re-
publican form of Government, to
the liberty Of the people and the
prosperity of the country, as was
ever before advocated in this free(?)
land. Under the cloak and pre-
tense of defending the conduct OF
of the democracy, at the recent
elections, in the South, he made n
direct bid to the bond holding, usu-
ry taking aristocracy for their sup
port in the next Presidential contest.
His whole argument was that property
must and wi assert its supremacy
Property, intelligence and educa
ton will assert their supremacy" is
the language he used and the ex,
preston is couched in plausible lie
terms. Bu. the fact that he meant
that property must rule, shows itself
plainly. His speech was moro of II

that they could catch all the quails
they wanted, by just soaring them
up, and when they lit, they would
sink INTO the snow, and all they
would have to do would be to 60

they had as "soft" a thing as they
wanted. They made arrangements
for regular quail harvest, suppos

meat IN this way, and not be violat

they were sadly disappointed; the

thoroughly awakened that he dropped his
opposition and joined the Methodists.

them to such an extent as TO deny any

to convey an impression to the contrary,
it is nevertheless the fact that the publieal
