came 10 DO reported to the House, In or
der that the distinguished K|entuckians
might make a record"
In plain words, Mckinley bribed a
member Of the subcommittee on cleo
lions TO vote for him TO retain his seat,
by giving his vote In favor OF the whis'
Ky distillers Of Kentucky.
The pamphlet exposes fully McKln-
ley's professions to the interests Of the
DEAR wOrkingmen." His t|reacherous
course towards the locked'Out pOtters;
bis opposition to the eight'hour law; his
failure to favor any bill affecting favor
ably the rights Of labor. We give the
concluding part OF the pamphlet:
M'KINLEY THE TOOL or MoNoPoLIsTs,
In the preceding pages we have, we
think, clearly shown that during his
seven years In Congress, of whose "yalu'
able services" his paid scribblers 10
bOastingly talk, he has done absolutely
nothing for the temperance reform, for
the cause OF protection. for the soldier,
or for the w0Iklngman. There were
two important interests, however, which
no has zeal0usly looked after and care
fully guarded, and they are: First, the
ambitious schemes Of William McKin-
ley; and, second, The large m%onopolies,
which are grinding, expressing and de-
grading labor. while they grow rich and
powerful through the protection granted
them by the patent laws Of the United
States, to wiring unreasonable and ex-
trayagant profits from the sale OF their
patented machinery, from the small
mechanics, machinists and
farmers.
Look around you and answer, who are
the men most anxious 10 confer on Nc
q life seat In C0ngressp Corne.
Illus Aultman, whose royalty on paten'
ted farm machinery alone annually
wrings from the pockets OF the farming
community not less than 100000; the
powerful railroad companies, over
whose lines Of road Mckinley rides
everywhere on free passes; the boss pot
ters OF East Liverpool who by edict have
denied the right OF labor TO organize for
Its own protection; these are the men
who have opened their Golfers and are
now c~anyassing the district for the pur-
chase Of votes for William Mckinley for
Congress. IL II not time for honest,
thinking Republicans TO call a halt and
wrest the power Of doing harm from the
hands OF the demagogue who has pr0sti-
tuted his Office TO such base %purpOsesp
M'KlNLEY's RECORD.
February 20, 1884, lodged the vote
directing the Postmaster General to

cases to the committee appointed to in
vestigate that subject.

can Pension bill

Robertson, Of Kentucky, In lieu Of
RObertson's vote for Mckinley In his
contested election case.

longer needed by his friends, the Ken.
lucky distillers, he attempted TO cover
his tracks by voting TO strike out the

tod election case, he declared that II he
rOuld not retain his seat on any better
ground than throwing out the irregular
Wallace votes, he didn't want II for
those votes were honestly intended for
Jonathan II. Wallace, and should DO
counted for him. This declaration was
made by Mckinley while no was still
occupying a seat which he had held for
fifteen months, on the strength Of q GER
'llcate OF election, secured by throwing
cut OF the count these Identical irregular
votes which no here conlesses belonged
10, and should have been counted for
Jonathan II. Wallace.
Thus we could 20 on indefinitely and
pile up accumulated reasons why hon
lrable men, those having the best inter
ests OF the party at heart, could not con-
.3istently support Mckinley, but we
think we have already given sufficient
proof ~ convince the Republicans OF the
10Th district that our opposition to Nc
IL inspired by more worthy mo-
tiyes than 'soreheadism." Mckinley
cannot sneer these charges down, or
drown the voice OF the Republicans he
has misrepresented with the cry OF
campaign lie" or "%roorback." Every
accusation contained In these pages has
been made public through the columns
OF the Republicans papers Of the eigh'
teenth and twentieth districts, M The
dies Of the Buckeye State, Salem Repub'
lican, Alliance Review and Carroll Re-
publican will show. They have met
Mr.. McKinley's eye from week 10 week,
some OF them for more than two years.
and up 10 this time no has not attempt
cd 10 vindirate himself against them,
except by paid newspaper putfs OF his
greatness aud statesmanship, for which
the record clearly shows there 10 no
foundation In fact, We have now con.
our task and leave our case for
public opinion TO render It's verdict, and
with that verdict we shall DO content.
