The Aberdeen examiner. [volume] (Aberdeen, Miss.) 1866-current, 1884-10-09

The Government with economy; tC
enforce the execution of the laws anC
to reduce taxation to the lowest limi
consistent with ust protection tt
American labor and capital, and witt
the preservation Of the faith which
the nation has pledged to its credit
tors and pensioners.
The open record of the man, whom
it has named Ms its candidate for the
Presidency, has been accepted BY
thousands Of Independent Republi
cans, in every State, aud as an abso
lutte guarantee that, if he is elected
all these pledges will be exactly full
filled, and that, under his admlnlstra
tioa, good government will be as
sured.
To secure the results all good citi
zens must unite in defeating the Re
publican candidate for President, liz
history and political methods make /
certain that his administra ion wou(
be stained by gross abuses, by olhcla
misconduct and vanton expenditure
OF the public money, and would be
marked by an increase taxation which
would blight the honest industry o
our people.
Against us, and against those hon
orable Republicans who, for the sak'
of good government, have made com
mon cause with us, notable comblna
tions have been made.
These are chiefly made up of foul
classes,
FIRST. An army of officeholders
who, by choice or conpulsion, are nov
giving to Republican committees,as
parts of the campaign fund OF tina
party monies paid to such officers GU
the public Treasury for services due
to the people Of the United States.
SECOND. Organized bodies of mer
who, having secured by corrupt
means the imposition Of duties, which
are in excess Of all sums needed fol
the wants Of the Government and fol
the protection OF American labor anc
capital, and having thus gained enor'
nous wealth, are willing to pay
largely to the. Republican campaign
fund for the promise OF the contln'
uance and increase Of such duties
which constitute a system Of boun
ties to monopolies under the false
pretense Of protection to American
industry.
THIRD. A host of unscrupulous
contractors and jobbers, who have
grown rich upon public plumber, and
are ready to pay tithes of what they
have acquired in order to avoid al
risk of being called to account fol
the evil methods by which theil
wealth has been gained.
FOURTH. Corporations which, hav-
ing appropriated the public lands by
the aid OF corrupt agencies in the
Republican party, believe they will
be compelled to give up their i'll
gotten gains if that party is driven
from power, and are, therefore, will
ing to keep it in place by giving it a
percentage of their unrighteous pro-
fits.
This committee has not troops OF
officeholders at It's command.
1t will not agree to sell the future
legislation of Congress for money
paid now into its party treasury.
1t will not promise immunity to
thieves.
1t will not contract to uphold any
corrupt bargain, heretofore made by
the Republican party with any cor
poration, for all the wealth which
such corporation can offer.
1t APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE
against one and all of these oppo-
nents, thus corruptly banded together
against the friends of good govern
ment.
The number of all these opponents
is small, but their wealth is great and
it will be unscrupulously used. An
active and vigorous campaign must
be made against them. Their paid
advocates must be met and defeated
in debate upon the platform and in
discussion in the newspapers. The
organization of all who are opposed
to them must he perfected in every
State, city and county in the land.
Money is needed to do this honest
work. Your committee, refusing to
adopt the methods by which the Re-
publican party fills its treasury, calls
upon all good citizens for the aid
which it requires.
1t Invites, and will welcome, con-
tributions from every honest man who
is opposed to the election of James
@. Blaine as President. No contri-
button will be accounted too small.
Wherever bank, banker, or postal
money order office can be found, the
means exist for placing at the dispos-
al of the Treasurer OF this committee,
individual, or collective contributions
in aid of the great cause III which we
are engaged-or, money may be re-
mitted by mail, to CHARLES J. CANDA,
Treasurer, at No. IL West 24th street,
New York.
When victory is achieved over the
INSCRIPTIONS combination, which is
now endeavoring to thrust James G.
Blaine into the Presidential Office,
the recorded list of such contributors
will be roll of honor, such as no
other party in this country has ever
possessed.
Our opponents cannot be saved
from disaster by forcing their unwill-
ing candidate to speak to assemblag-
es of the people.
The man who wrote the Fisher let
tiers will never he the choice of the
people for the Presidency of the
United States.
