SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

oOME HIM ~ lNLN RboO l.
Ii might be in order for the DEMO
CfAT To SrgcSt a point or two to the
republican orators who are To declaim
here during the state convention.
The most important Of these points is
to answer the letter of cN-Gov. I. G.
Pound. All the leading journals in
the United States agree that this let
ter of Mr.. Pound is the most signif-
cant document that has so far Gnliv-
cncd the canvass Now it will not do
any good to abuse Mr.. Pound. lie IS
too we'll known in this state and has
received too many honors ut the hands
Of the republican party. In his letter
Mr. Pound says:
Mr.. Rlatnc, in my optN,ou cmhnitrS most in
American politics that is mcuacing Ia public
morals and integrity in government With
long public carrSr, mainly distinguished for
sort If drchmatory and pusilistc statocraft, he
is not the Inspiration OF single valuable policy
ct the author er an Important statute. but. ON
the contrary, has "ttru suggested and supported
unwisr aud bal and opposed good legislation
There are thousands Of republicans
whoundcl lstand this matter exactly as
stated by Mr. Pound and while they
have no. had limc to look over the
congressional record for twenty years
they are iucllucd 10 accept Mr., Pounds
statement unless some evidence shall
be brought forward to prove that Mr..
Blaine is the author of some "valua-
bic policy or important statute These
republicans aIe not ready to accept a
record as "briliiant' that exhibits
only "declamatory and pugilistc
statecraft' for a period OF twenty
years in congress is all in prist and
al in every public library so there is
no excuse of not being able to produce
it. The DEMOCRAT calls upon the
orators 10 produce some important
statute Of Mr.. Blaiue'S authorship. or
some valuable public policy of his in
spiratIou.
Again Mr.. IOunu says:
Reference to Rlaine's congressional record re
latins 10 subsidies, class legislation, corporate
cxactouS etc win readily satisfy the honest hu-
quireru u his uniform support OF mono poles and
indifference To the common veal.
Certainly tie republican orators OF
tomorrow will Not let this statement
go unchalleuged. Please tell us how
Mr.. Blaine voted upon the measure to
release the governments first mort
gage on the Pacific railroads which
was the only security for S64, 600, 00C
of government loan; also how he voted
on the Thurman act, and especially
what Judge Edmunds said about Mr.
Blaine when this measure was before
congress.
These and other points in this letter
stand much in need of answer aud
the points must be fully met; it viii
not do to say that the grand old party
achieved much under Lincoln, Sew
ard and Chase, because the poople dc
not believe that Blaine, Dorsey,
Chandler and Elkins are good repre-
sentatives of the grand old leader:

With no pronounced issues between the two.

questions OF public policy were at ISSUE they can
not be determined by the executive This is the

government that the republican party be re.

worthy partisan, surrounded by bad counsel.

half of the republican voters who agree in
this opinion have the courage of their convic
tons and vote conscientiously, he will be trum-
phantly elected. The scandals affecting the
domestic lives of all candidates should be COM
