THE LATEST REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
DODGE
A Rank Free Trade Sheet PurpCrtng to bs Demo-
cratic, Edited and Issued by Republicans
The So-Oallst New York "Dem-
ocrat' Exposed. =

NEW YORK, September 26 "A puhl'ca'
ton called the Democrat has been largely
circulated for month past 10 this and ad'
Joining States as Q campaign document.
1t purports to be Literary Democratic
newspaper" and according to its own
statement is published by George F. Kuhn
at No. 90 Park Row. It is sailing under
false name when it calls itself the Demo
crat, for it is really devoted to the interests
of the Republican party. Three OF its
eight peges are filed with editorial arti-
cles, and the others are devoted to stories
and advertisements.
A World reporter, who was sent out to
ascertain the truth about this counterfeit,
made his first visit to Republican head
quarters on Fifth avenue, where he asked
for some reading matter to send out among
his Democratic friends who were almost
persuaded" to vote for Harrison and Nor
ton. He was shown down stairs to t5e
basement and told to ask for Mr.. Smith
In one corner, at a.desk, sat man with
his coat off. He WAS writing away at top
speed, and piled all around him we're docu-
ments with the British Hsg printed in COL
ors on them, giving very English ap-
pearance to the place. This was Mr..
Smith.
az have little paper hsre l should like
TO get some copies cf," and he drew ont q
copy of the Democrat, with the title folded
20 as to be ous of sight. Before the title
Of tie paper was mentioned, Mr.. Smith
said quickly:
I'VE have lone of those papers here "
This aus wsr or more properly this state
ment, locked a lite like selfsccosation
and very mach like thorough knowledge
of the sps earance of the sheet.
~ hsve not told you what the paper is, "
said the repOrie-.
Mr.. Smith is too old csmpsigner to
betrsy any surprise. He never a!uched
when the paper was shown to him, but
kept repeatisg:
"I never saw 1t before il my life"
He was then told how cleverly it mis-
represent Democratic principles and what
q trump card it was for protection, bnt he
llttlO
that he had never seen the paper before.
The reporter then called at the 0ffica of
the Democrat, at 80 Park Row. Kuhn
wes there IN psrsop, and to him the re-
porter presented Republican drummer
who desired campaign literature. Kuhn
was completely deceived. He said! Il
Cali tell You this is good scheme have
on hand 1 want the addresses OF Deloo-
crate who will be likely to scare ct free
trade. YOu send me the names of people
you meet on your travels and will send
them the paper from hera--free, of course.
Then, another thing, You got the papers
to take up the Statements published,

controversy When Republican paper
quotes our free trade talk it counts, don't

The ss.ute editor would not tell where
he got the money to publish the sheet,
but intimated by shrugs th:t the Republi-
can National Committee could tell.
