A SOLID DEMOCRAT

Has Something to shy on the Effects OF tho
Earthquake on the Party.
To the Editor Of he hLsLligeneE,
SlR;-The earthquake OF Tuesday night
last must have reached the INTRLLIGENcRR
office with surprising force, Tor the effect
Of an article written by True Democrat"
in Wednesday mornings issue caused a
commolIen, upheRval and confederation
among the boss Democrats, which made
them so frantic with rage that they were
going about the city looking for the arch
traitor TO deVour him on sight for disturb
ing their equanimity, Democratic bosses
be- peaCeable, be cautious. Do not got in
a rage, for the quaking, trembling and
roaring has only commenced. The guilty
and designing acts you have committed
will bring q crash upon your shoulders
that will cause you to 20 TO your political
graves on election day with more to pom
der over than rugged features or gray
hairs. You know the maxim OF the law,
"the guilty shall not go unpublished"
You have deserved your late and you
must abide the consequences, Working
men, Democratic voters, picture out
to yourselves the piece Of treaCh-
erous VillRiny that was worked up
against the labor candidates for the Legis-
lSture, Previous 10 the Democratic
County Convention, The bosses came to-
Qether in the Sheritf's office and there
agreed unanimously that one labor Candi-
date on the Legislative ticket was
sufficient, two was too many, and two the
bosses would not consent to, "a the result
clearly indicates, Why is 1t, the bosses
opposed the nomination OF more than one
labor representative on the Legislative
tiCkOtP Were they apprehensive OF the
fact that II elected they would not vote for
Mr.. Camden for United States Senator?
Being Impressed with this idea, the safest
and sure6t plan to adopt was to throw
Mr., Robertson overheard, and put two
lawyers, one farmer and Que labor repre-
sentative on the ticket, Then the ticket
was sure OF pulling through. Wage
workers OF Ohio county are you prepared
to accept aud vote for the ticket dished
out 10 you by such Intriguing plottera es
Sheriff Handlau, Lawyer Pendleton Post
master Simpson, Tom Darrah. and NJ. j..
O'Kane. Workingmen, think oil it, pom
der over 1t, and Ueo tho Legislative ticket
this COterie oil bosses among whom Is
no. one wage worker, have given you for
your acceptance. Ara you willing to
accept their dictstion. No. You have
intelligence and manhood enough in you
to resent and repudiRte the insult haRped
upon you by those soft headed gentlemen,
the business OF most Of whom Is to I'LL
public offices at tho tay payOr's expense.
The righteous Indignation OF the intelli-
gent and honest voters Of Ohio county.
Should be hurled at the manipulatOrs Of
! the late Democratic county convention.
DO not let your contempt cease, but on the
contrary lot 1t be rising like tho swelling
flood OF the Ohio river. The action Of
thess rlnHaterB will work to their de9truC-
ton, for the more the Democratic wage
workers and voters think how they were
treated by q few designing wire pullers the
more determined they should bs 10 defeat
the ticket.
Nothing can save the ticket from the
vengeance Of your votes, II your are
honest and true citizens. ltyou prefer to
vote for and elect the ticket, by so doing
you will reward the bosses for their action
at the convention.
You will assist and have hand in paw
ing the way fora repetition Of Its neiAriOus
proceeding. You will become COpartnGrs
in the perLidy that resulted In the nonina-
ton OF tho ticket aud strengthen tho in
lluence oil the very men VINO sought to
bring reproaCh and dishonOr upon you rs
workingmen.
II you adopt the methods resorted 10 by
those Doodle booaea, and approve oil per-
6dy, falseh0od and promiaes Of petty
offices that you will never get, then yOu
will be cutting your own throa,s and your
principle and record as wage workers will
20 into obscurity.
The bargain and sale OF come delegates
attending the convention was triling and
meSn.spirited, especially the labor dele
gate from Webster, who is accused Of such
q deal and who was elected as o delegate
on come pretext, or else he would have
been one OF the absentees.
Those kind OF unprinCipled, so.Called
labor delegates who represent Themselves
as martyrs for some cause or another and
solicit the support OF their fellows TO elect
them and then become pertidious traitors
in the convention by bRrtering, should be
seyerally let alone. 1t was well those kind
olignoramuses were scarce.
The labor element OF this city is entitled
to two representatives on the legislative
ticket. 1t was their wish and desire TO
have two and when the long cherished
ambition was not complied with, Mr..
Gleason should have withdrawn from the
ticket. 1t is predicted that II he does not
do so first he will BIZ compelled to do so at
last. A SOLID DEMOCRAT.
