DON'T kick AND BLEAT AND BELOW"
Senator Sawyer either does not have h'sh
opinion of his party associates. or else lacks
language te put his sentiments in complimentary
shape In reply t. a question whether be thought
the fact of D-pew being a railroad president
would hurt him presidential cand' date III
Wisconsin the senior senator is reported as say
ing: some Of our people might kick and bieat
and below but tbeg would come IN and vote for

state and the other states too. milwaukee

Republicans have no good reason for
com plaint at the language of their senior
senator. They have certainly given Sen.
Sawyer any number of good reasons for
what he says. They often kick and
beat and below" and then come in and
vote the party machine ticket. 1t is
simply nonsense 10 assert that all
republicans oppose any reduction of fed
eral tariff taxation. Even if such exces
siys federal taxation was necessary to
''infant industries" instead of to swell out
the pockets of trusts; republicans could
not then favor collecting from the pen-
pie $1J0OO0, 600 enualIy in excess of the
public needs, and piling it up IN the
treasury for congress TO waste in all sorts
If corrupt and demoraizing schemes.
No, republicans do not favor this useless
and oppressive system Of levy ing taxes
on the people to build up trusts
any more than democrats, and yet the
party managers trusts-Million-
aire Jones at the head, have fixed the
policy Of tho party and the masses,
"kick AMI bleat and below aud then
"come in aD1 vote the ticket all the
same" Mr.. Sawyer knows his party ana
il cannot deny fhe truth OF what he says.
The Rev. Sam ones says: "Ingalls Is
an ass. That j. all have to say about
him" In speaking Of Mr. CIeveland's |
chances for denomination he says: His |
chances are excellent. There Is no one |
else thought Of, despite the schemIng of |
Bill Scott, Barnum and Senator German. |
Cleveland will be nominated because the |
people are for him. Tho people are the |
power these days. They won't stand any
boss dictation. He will be elected, too
no doubt about that. In my travels
through tho north / fud unanimous
scntIment for Cleveland. It seems to be
growing aud spreading. The repnbli-
cans are alarmed, and are casting about |
for a rheet anchor for their hopes. They |
must get n new issue. The red flag, !
which has been their battle cry ever since |
the war, will no longer serve their pUr-
pose. The great majority of the south
orn people nre loyel, and the great ma
iority of the republican party IN the
north have accepted them. This practic
kills the bloody shirt issue. Cleveland
will win this yenr, ana at the end of his
second term the republicans will come
again into power" Mr.. Jones is correct
in ali except this last statement. When
Mr.. Cleveland shall have finished dis sec
ond term in 1913 the z. o. p. will be dead
beyond resurrection.
SAWI FRS ESTIMATE OF REPUGEIGANS.
The following is Sawyer's estimate of
republicans as gwen in on interview pub
lshcd in the State journal:
Senator Sawyer says: Il think Depew
could bo elected, because he could carry
New York"
would tho Cuct that ho is railroad
president militate against hinY'
"Some of our people might kick and
bleat aud behow, bat they would come
IN and vote for him all tho same Ger
tarnIy he could carry my state, and the
other states, too. We are not going to
have walk over, either, in Wisconsin,
Some of our people might kick and
bIeat and below, but they would come i'll
and vote for him all the same" That is
good. Splendid. Mr.. Sawyer evidently
knows his party.

shine disterics Milwaukee Sentinel
To relieve the democratic chairman and
MIR. Cleveland from small jobs of this
character, tho DEMooRAr will answer the
Soutinel's question. The chairman, Mr..
Cleveland, and the democratic party favor
the Mills bill with these Objectionable
protective features to which the Sen
tincl refers for the sake of getting
n little relief from tho protection
robbery. All democrats regard these
as objectionable features of the Mills bill
and all would oppose them standing
alouc. They are concessions TO the tariff
protection pirates. In brief the people
adop taemoans of buying little relief
from republican protected trusts. 1t is
all we can do-uot whap We want-but
better than to have all the whisky and to-
baoco tax removed and uore of the trust
protection rs the Sentinel and its party
demand. Does TIA, Sentinel understand?

the eighth wonder of the world. Every
body knows all about ham, and yet no
body knows anything about him for a
certainty. He has never said anything |
about himself that could be depended on, |
and what his friends sny or have said |
about him, il equally uucortsn. lie is a
candidate for the presidency, and he is
not; he Is SICK and must soon die of an
inourahIo disease, and anon he was never
in better health i'll his life. He
IS a great man rs every one
is ready to admit, but what it is that
makes him great no man living cen tell.
lie is the choice of ninc-t -tcnths of the
republican party fer the presidency but
