the people seek to arrest. y

Why the Printers Do Not Enthuse
Over Harrison's Letter of Ac-
ceptance.
New York Herald
Gen. HarriSon's letter of acceptance
did not appear to create any great
amount of enthusiasm in the ranks Of
organized labor in this city yesterday.
The general impression was that the
letter was rather tame and weak, but
| was the best that Gen. Harrison could
do under the circumstances.
During the day a Herald reporter
dropped into the office of the Union
Printer, and there met Mr.. O'Brien,
one of the editors.
=" How do the printers like Gen. Har-
rison's letter?' the reporter asked.

over it with uncurbed excitement and
JOY" replied Mr.. O'Brien. when the
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency has to have his letter read. cor
rected and put in shape by an enemy to
organized labor and rat and when
the same man is warm friend of the
candidate, you can tell how the printers
feel about the matter"
A copy of the Union Printer of Aug.
25 was then produced, In it was a long
letter about Mr.. Halford. The letter
was written signed by Sam L. Letting
well. OF indianapolis, an old member Of
the Printers union and q well known
Knight of Labor, having been dele
gate to number of meetings of the
general assembly of the order.
Here are few extracts from Mr..
Leffingwell's letter:
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE UNION PRINTER
INDrANAPoLIs Aug. 22.-The condition Of
affalrs IL and about the Office of the Indianap-
OILS journal is as bad, If not little worse
than ever. 1t must be understood that the
cause OF all this trouble with the Messrs
New is traceabe to the management and
promptings of Elijah Halford. once an hon
ore member of Typographical Union No
L. lie went out i'll the strike of 1874 was
published as rat and had his name stricken
from the hOnored rolls of the international
union. All the ills that have fallen upon
the journal IN the years that have passed are
attributed to his advice aud counsel With
lhe exception of two brief intervals it has
been rat office for fourteen years Union
men nave gone in by permission several times
Dut the ONCE has during that time been
unqer rat CONTROL and its destinies under
different proprietorships have been con-
tlnuously in the hands of this man Halford
lie mas been managing and editorial writer
on the paper through all its various changes
or owners, and each succeeding firm has
been as putty in the hands OF the skilled
glazier.
There has not been the slightest disposition
on the part of John c. New to make the
ofilce square since the men were turned into
the street in July, 1887.
With John G. New as a member Of
the Republican national committee, and
with Mr.. HalfOrd as another warm
friend, you can say that the printers
have not much faith in Harrison's letter
and all his fine promises to labor" were
the concluding remarks of Mr.. O'Brien.

went back. But the 'woodchuck" in
his effort and sudden change of base
from his position in 1883 came out
when the Republicans of the house
defeated the bill he had adj
vocated. The Democrats voted
for its passage. Thus it became appar-
ent and was laughed about in the house
and among the politicians that Merriam
had advocated a bill which his own
party would not support, and that he
had done it merely to bid to the farmers
for gubernatorial support. He was
.estly favored the passage of the bill,
could have commanded sufficient votes
to have secured its passage. That he
did not do this. and that the Democrats
gave the bill majority of their votes,
is considered to be a sufficient expose
of his motives in making this speech.

REPUBLICAN REDUCTION.

This is the way the Republican party,
during the many years it was in control
of the government, reduced taxation:
1t abolished the direct tax Oh maui
factureTS.
1t abolished the income tax on in
comes in excess of $1,000 year.
1t abolished taxation of railroad cor
pOratiOnS.
1t abolished the tax on express COM
panies.
1t abolished the stamp tax on bank
checks.
1t abolished all the taxes that fell
upon the wealthy, but it has never re-
duced by one cent the taxes that fall on
the poor men. Their taxes are still
47.10 per cent on every 500 worth of
goods they buy.

BILLS DOODLE.
The Sank Rapids Sentinel Will
Not Support Merriam.

The Sank Rapids Sentinel, the Re-
publican journal of Sank Rapids, Ben
ton county, refuses to support Merriam,
and in its last issue says:
If the charges of the corrupt use of money
in obtaining his nomination, which are rife
against w. r. Merriam, are not disprOyed, it
may result in the state central committee be-
ing forced to withdraw his name from the
ticket and substitute another in its place.
The great Republican party can not afford to
endorse such methods as Merriam Is alleged
to have used. a prompt and thorough in
vestigation ought TO be had.
Still further, the Sentinel says:
The charge of attempted bribery of one of
the Otter Tail county delegates seems TO be
proven clearly enough by the testimony of
third responsible party, but this charge
dwindles into a mere speck among the multi
tude of reports of the wholesale corruption
of the season, which had its elimination in
the Republican state convention.
of course it is always intended that such
transactions shall be secret. The Whiteman
law makes them criminal, and any person is
bound TO deny an accusation. Servile party
organs will try 10 cry down or ignore the
scandal. while most Of the editors will pri-
vately admit all that is charged, and the air
is full of private information OF outrageous
transactions pertaining to the nomination.
When these cOrruptions shall be sanctioned
at the polls, the position of the delegate to
Republican state convention where hood
Ter can realize from $3.50 to S! 900 in day
will be more eagerly sought than the best
county Offices. The establishment of prec-
edent which bars every man and every
mans son, EXCEPT. perhaps one in 10000,
from reaching the high positions, will hardly
tend in the direction of party success.
And the Sentinel continues:
r. C. Dunn, one of the delegates 10 the late
state convention from Mile Laos county,
speaks very seIsibly in reference TO the do
ings of some of The Merriam gang. and he
does so in unmistakable language If Mer-
RAM was nominated by men of the kind
herein mentioned, every true Republican
should, for the good Of the party and the
welfare of the state, demand his withdrawal
from the ticket. or properly rebuke him by
voting against him. If the Republican party
has become SO degraded in this state rs tc be
compelled to accept n man for governor who
is accused of openly buying his nomination,
and so far neither he nor his many boodlers
have made public denial Of the charge it is
time that the party refuse to ratify his acts
by electing him.
Tie Sentinel puts Harrison and
Morton" at the head Of its columns, but
not Merriam"

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Maj. Barttelot, in
his last letter to the Emin Relief COM
mittee, under date of June 4, just
previous to the starting of the eXpedi-
ton, complains that Tippoo lib had
broken faith; that he promised to
bring 800 men and had brought
only 400, and that he showed a decided
distaste for the affair and adopted tao
tics to delay the starting of the eXpedi-
ton, particularly insisting upon tighten
ing the loads of the carriers, especially
of ammunition. The loss of stores re-
sulting from Tippo's action, and
from the fact that half the
expected number of carriers
were supplied was most serious. Bart
telot speaks we'll of all the European
officers concerned. TippOo lib had fur
nished an influential headsman for the
expedition, in whom Barttelot appeared
to have confidence. The expedition was
largely composed of ManyemaS. Barttel0t
says that to the best of his belief Stanley
is not dead, but that he cannot get any
news OF him; that he intends to take
the same route, and if he fails to hear
OF Stanley, to press on to Wadelai and
ask Emin to join him in the search.
iAPPOO LiOs says, licto llOO tLiO
remotest intention of helping us any
more. But to withdraw now would be
pussllanimous, and 1 will therefore
proceed to the best of my ability" He
asks the committee to suspend all judg-
ment on his actions, past, present and
future, until he hims II or Jameson re-
turns home. Jameson's diligence and
cheeriness, he says, are beyond all
praise. Tippoo promised to send a
messenger after BarttelOt, if neceS-
sary, within a month after the starting
of the expedition. Barttelot promises
to send news when possible, but says he
would not be surprised if the Congo
route were blocked later on. He says:
There are many things l would wish
to speak of. No doubt / will do SO
should be permitted to return home"
He again refers to Tippoo's broken
faith.

Donnelly proposes to act at the dictation of
Money Bags Merriam and TO stump the state

Merriam knows the laborer will not vote for
the representative of aristocratic wealth and
monopolistic power. and by running Don
nelly he hopes to keep large part of this
vote from going to Eugene NJ Wilson, the
peoples representative. But the laboring
men are not fools: they will not throw away
their votes on Fool Donnelly, and MerriIm's
