Sacramento daily record-union., 1888-10-18

second Presidential term, despite his pro-
testation that it is dangerous thing to do,
and his shameless and unconceaed aban-
donment of civil service reform, to which
at the Times suggestion, be had pledged
himself.
The attscles OF journal ike the Tines
write only that which is acceptable to it.
AS one of the staff of the Times Mr.. Tru-
man can contribute nothing not attuned
to the policy and belief of that supporter
and chief advocate of Cleveland English
free trade ideas and the modern Democracy
Major Truman, like all other writers
for the Times. must get the color of ideas
expressed in its columns, IRON the paper
ITSELF and Independently of and wholly
disconnected from any other literary en-
ployment in which he may engage his
ability, whether it be in the preparation of
guide books, essays for magazines, critical
monographs, or as author of 'The Field of
Honor" The South After the War"
Semi-Tropical California" OF "occi-
dental Sketches"
iog its best to conceal from view the skele-
ton that bursts from lis closet-the fact
that The great champion of Cleveland, the
Times is pro-Chinese, ard that it will
assurodly. at the expiration of the vitality
of the Scott bill in 1892, come squa.ely out
in favor Of unrestricted Chinese immigra-
ten, because it believes in the absolute
necessity for mud sill class in America.
We have read this same New York Times
long enough to know that it never will be
more nor less than it is, the uncornpromis-
ing, embittered and dangerous foe of the
doctrine of protection 10 American indus
try, and to the anti Chinese sentiment of
the Pacific coast. Major Truman was con-
Dected with that paper away back under
Mr. Raymond, and has held q direct and
remuDeratiVe position upon the staff of
that journal ever since. Nothing he writes
not in accordance with the well. known
principles of that Cleveland organ will find
place in its columns
A more absurd and ridiculous chstter
was never started than that which attempts
TO attach the responsibility for the express
sion OF writer on the chief organ of
Grover Cieyeland-and beside which such
new -fedged and puerile organs as the Er-
dntiner sink into journalistic insignifcance
to the Republican party, because, for
sooth, that same writer has employment in
part, in literary labor for California rail-
road corporation
IAe c.eduhty vi some men is amazing,
hut we doubt if there is a voter in America
SO grllable as to accept the silly twaddle of
the Examiner about Major Truman's liter
ary ventures having any relation to the
Republican party as political gospel. If
however, there is any man who for mo-
ment thinks that there is any political sig
niiicance whatever in the matter, in
heavens name let him rush off on the 9Th
OF November and vote for Glover Cleye-
land, precisely as the New York Times is
paying its writers to induce him to do. We
have such faith that there are none such.
that we are willing to risk the loss of any
votes to Harrison and Morton in conse-
! quenee. These latter candidates are to be
elected, and by such electoral majorities as
have been cast for no other Presidential
candidates in this century, the desperate
efforts of the Examiner, Times, New York
Evening Post, the Solid South, and the
English manufacturers, to the contrary
notwithstanding.
