DIsREPUTABLE METHODS on THE REPUB
LlCANs.
The Blaine managers employed extra
ordinary methods In both States. Ihey
expended not les than 100000 In ONO,
and more than 800 900 IN West virginia,
| In their political work, They ala not
nse money only. They called from every
| State the oncpholders best fitted 10 do
| the work at which theylwere put. They
| crowded these two States with such
men. They employed In political Jobs
the men engaged In the postal service OF
| the United States. They left the yeter-
ans, who had saved the life OF the ma
| ti0n, without the pay TO which they
were entitled, under pretense OF having
an insufficient clerical force In the Pen
sion Bureau, and then used the Commits
siOner OF Pensions and a great number
OF his clerks M parts OF their political
machinery In the late elections In ONO

charged, without denial, that tho pay
ment Of the veterans by thu COmmis'
sioner OF Pensions has been delayed by
him with the purpose OF coercing them
TO vote for Mr.. Blaine. these
ABUSES ON POLITICAL POWER

the marnhals Of the United States and
their deputies, who ought 10 be- the
guardian OF the rights OF every citizen
OF the United States, n part OF their ma
chine force. They armed them aud In
cited them TO violence and outrage.
They expect TO pay for the weapons and
services OF these men out OF the Treas
ury Of the United States. They made
Mr.. Blaine one OF their county and ward
workers IN Ohio and West Virginia, and
no entered with zest upon the iamllial
duties. They Devised with his kl0wl
edge methods OF compelling wofRmen
