He then alluded briefly to the prohbi.
ZIONIST and union labor party as follows
PROHIBITIoNIsTs
"Why should the prohibitioaist t, who:s
platform is in alignment with the
democracy in demanding tariff reduction
now jeopardize its accomplishment BY
trying to build up party on one moral
reform? l respect your convictions, but
you should remember that no national
party was ever erected over one issue
about diet or drink, and never can be in
any country while questions of financial re.
form remain unsolved. Come then, with
us, for you cannot now succeed, and if we
fail the free whisky promised by Mr.. Har.
rison will not advance your cause"
THE UNION LABOR PARTY.
"Why should the UNION labor man refuse
aid to the only party whose doctrines and
strength promise him relief? The vicious
policies you attack have all been legslized
by common foe. You arraign transpOr.
tation companies for extorting profits on
watered bonds;-so does the democrats
party of Texas, which demands tina.
freight rates shalt yield only fair interest
on money actually invested. And nov
urge you to send no man to the legisla.

the demand. Watch any candidate who
plays shy on this issue, and look close to

demand a change which shall make the
United States senator elective by the peO
pie. Not three month ago democrats
committee in congress agreed to recon-
mend the same change. You want
wealth to bear its part of federal tsxes
so does the democrat. Your
platform demands the check of monopoly
and the suppression of trusts; so does
every democrat. But how can you as
candid man sustain national platform
which falsely denounces the democracy
with aiding the republicans
lin creating land Per petuating
these monstrous evils? How can you
affiliate with party whose leaders are so
ignorant of our form of government as
to demand national usury law, matter

allegiance TO this new party whose only
mission is to weaken the mastering squad
rons of your friends?"
Judge Terrell then alluded to the demo
cratic presidential candidates as follows;
ALLEN G. THURMAN,
ave offer you standardbearers The
spotless record of whose lives has marked
them as fl leaders of free people. We
have taken Allen G. Thurman from private
life to again preside over that senate
which once trembled under his eloquence
when he exposed the Credit Mobilei
thieves of republican rule. The railroad
spoilsmen who were Denounced by thls
grand man stocked the legislature Oh
Ohio and loaded its Hobbies to compass
his political death, but he yet lives to Dc
elevated by an unbought people. There
will be something in his very look to re-
mind that senate that this is not gov
eminent of cash, but was made by the
American white man to secure his Tree
dom and domestic tranquility"
GROVER CLEVELAND,
"We have presented you again for preSi
dent Grover Cleveland. Unaided By
wealth or kindred he won his way b!
manly methods to the highest office in al
this world. Coming from a people VINO

with their demands for industrial freedom [
and his clear mind, undimmed by preIu-
dice, has pointed out road
