Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1883-08-02

A DEAD GIvE-AwAY.
By mail yesterday morning there came
o this office in a wrapper addressed to
he SENTINEL and stamped "From Asso-
lated Press, 1876 Broadway, New York."
address to the People on the Politi-
,al Situation of the Country" The
address inclosed would fill out about
;hree columns Of this paper and emanates
from the National Union League. 1t is
) powerful paper for electioneering pur-
poses, being written in a mastery style
and with extreme ingenuity. 1t is an
argument for perpetuating the Republic
cans in control Of the Government, and
warns the people in solemn tones against
the Democrats. 1t lifts the former to
the seventh heaven of virtue and
besmears the latter with filth.
The address was issued from Philadel-
phia March "a, 1883, but is revamped
for present purposes by the Associated
Press.
Folded in with the address is . slip of
manifold" paper, on which is printed
these significant words:
"AGRNTs RECEIVING THIS ADDRESS
WILL A RMS 1T FOB PUBLIcA-
rIoN IN PAPERS OF THE 4TH OF
AUGUST"
OF course, it is the result Of q faux pas
at Republican headquarters in the main
Office Of the Associated Press that the
address, the stamp on the wrapper, and
the printed slip found their way to this
Office 50 early. The plan was evidently
to ssartle the country with it by its pub
LEGATION simultaneously, AS A DISPATCH,
in every quarter Of the United States in
which . morning paper is published.
Possibly this is a dodge IN the part Of
telegraph managers to relieve their wires
about this time when, looking forward,
they might reasonably expect a jam in
their business, owing to the strike If
80, the trick would be recognized as
characteristic, and would not excite ex-
traordinary contempt. The public have
been bilked 30 often and SO shamelessly
by the Associated Press that such treat
ment on any occasion is no longer unex-
pected.
1t is the universally recognized organ
of the Republican party.
Every monopoly in the United States
is an organ of the Republican party.
Jay Gould has his headquarters in the
Republican camp, and the Republican
manipulators, on occasion, have their
headquarters in his main Office on
Broadway. New York, from which are
dispatched to Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike such campaign documents as
the address of the National Union
League.
But in this last break made by the
telegraph monopolists there is an imme-
date and deeper meaning still.
1t shows that the bosses who rule the
Republican party with selfish and dss-
potic sway mot the actual Republican
party, who, however, are made response
bio for the misdeeds Of their "chiefs')
are hand in glove, not only with the mo-
nopolists generally, but also right now
with the telegraph Cars who are striv-
ing to deprive 10000 poor operators OF
the means of earning a livelihood for
themselves and their dependent families.
While labor all over our broad
try is awaiting TREMENDOUSLY the result OF
the present struggle against d-blooded
capital, expressing sympathy and in
many places contributing money from its
scanty means, making painful sacrifices
that the ever-tightening hold Of the
oppressor may be broken just for once
now, and relaxed somewhat for the
~future-while this important struggle il
actually going on and may be approach
ing its crisis between the insolent rich
and those whom they would deprive OF
bread and meat, without conscience and
for the sake merely Of increasing the
size Of the glittering piles-while labor
is thus struggling for the poor privilege
Of toll, we find the masses of the Repub-
lican party misrepresented. dishonored
and abused by the ringmasters whom
they continuously cherish to their own
degradation and injury.
BY indirection and trickery the myriads
of excellent citizens and Woodworking
men in the Republican party have
allowed themselves to be hoodwinked and
disgraced for the promotion, by partisan
means. of the personal ambitions OF :
comparatively few ~autocratic bosses.
How long will it be before the bone
and sinew, the respectable portion, OF
the Republican party shall arise and
throw off the yoke for their W re-
lief and the good Of the whole country
The case is that Of Jay Gould and
others against the people of the United
