publican party is committed to monopoly.
1t stands forth the champion of policy
which taxes the poor for the benefit OF the
rich-the many for the benefit of the few.
No amount of explanation, of duplicity, of
hidden hypocrisy, of chicane. or OF down
right lying. can longer blind the people to
the continuous and stupendous wrongs
and Outrages perpetrated by the Re-
publican party. Honest patriotic
Republicans can not mediate
with composure upon the devilish depravity
Of Republican Bosses which resulted in
seating aayes in the Presidential office
against the expressed will OF the American
people, and Hayes having been the chief
beneficiary OF the astounding crime, has
sunk to soundess depths OF ignoininy. No
one mentions his name with q shadow of re-
spect, and the time is near at hand when
John Sherman will be known to history as
the perjury broker" and will stand in line
below Lie Pinkston
Honest Republicans can not look with
composure upon the methods employed
by Republican bosses to secure cor
ruption funds. They have liked their
party, have believed in il, and have
been anxious to see it remain in power; but
when its bosses resort TO fagitious crimes TO
maintain supremacy. they will not remain
in its ranks. They are not thieves, nor the
apologists of thieves They abominate the
Republican spoils system, and when they see
the managers depending alone upon money
bribery and debauchery to gain victories,
they refuse to be counted in with such
crew. AS consequence the Republican
party is being defeated and is doomed to ex-
lie. Any other explanation does not answer
the demand.
