Review, leading Republican paper,
confirms what the Leader says about
the tyrannical boss.
Tom Morgan may play the petty
tyrant over the humble wOrkingmen
in his employ, he may dictate what
papers they shall or shall not read, he
may continue with impunity to take
their election tickets to his office and
scratch Oft with red ink, Republican can
didates who are not satisfactory to him
distribute them among his employees,
and then march them to the oils
under an overseer like gang of slaves,
or he may even go farther and dis
charge from his employ those who
have too much manhood to qnietly
submit to his impudent tyranny, rs
he did Fred Bach and his associates
two years ago, but when ne under
takes to swing the lash over the back s
of the free A american citizens OF Alli-
ance, he will find men who will know
how to resent his impudence.
This is the kind of fellows who are
constantly prating about their love for
the w0rkingmen.

THE Republican sneaks, liars and
scandal-shovers keep up their howl
against Grover Cleveland's private
character. This is done to divert at
tention from the charges of corruption
and venality SO freely preferred against
the candidate at the head of their tick
ct by the leading papers of his own
party. Being unable TO defend the
public record of Blaine, they strive to
cover it up by trying to smirch tn,
oriUate character of Cleveland, whose
public record is without blot, and who,
had he been the bad man they allege,
could never have so won the esteem OF
he people of Buffalo as he has done,
uor have risen to his high position.
