the matter up in few words, Gen.
Harrison Is an aristocrat pure and
simple, nandy as q natural result,

The Republican platform, like
wise, isoa very great disappoint-
ment to thinking Republicans. Read
whitman intelligent regard for facts
as they exist, it is masterpiece of
false pretehse and chicane, and a
surrender to the trusts and mono-
polies on the tariff issue that is at
once astounding and pitiable. 1t
condemns much, bit the evils COM
planned Of are such as were born
and flourished under Republican
rule, and some Of which have been
wiped out under Democratic ad-
ministration. Where II claims
credit, it dishonesty appropriates
that wich Democracy has accom-
plished. In its fiscal aspect, it points
the way to a riot Of extravaganza
and plunder that is appalling to
conservative men Of all parties. To
save the full pound Of flesh to the
trusts and monopolies, free whis-
ky is given Its full and unreserv-
ed Endorsement. t}'
In the light Of these facts, is it
any wonder that thinking Repub-
licans are filled with apprehension
concerning the coming election;
that their intelligent Judgment
should indicate defeat as their por-
tion, and that, hardest of all, moral
considerations should justify that
defeat. 80
