The Republican National Convention at

We declare our opposition to all combinations
Of capital organized in trusts or otherwise to

What has the Republican party in Ma

pledge What has 1t not done, when 1t
had opportunity, toward breaking and
splitting upon it?
We end the almost unanimously Re-
publican Legislature Of Pennsylvania ig-

the people and the Constitution Of the

obey the hghtest behest Of the wealthy

attempt 1T excuse rejected a bill whose
sole aim was to enforce the provisions
AGAINST railroad discrimination already
existing in the Constitution. In other
words. these hirelings Of monopoly refused
when called on to enforce the Constitution,
which they are sworn to obey.

WEBSTER, C. H., April lS-A most re-

case was that Of Jesse Carpenter, of Cal

wife and family. charged with raping a
nine-year-old daughter Of B. Morrison, Of
Webster county. Carpenter is a worthless
sort OF fellow and was once tried for horse
stealing in Clay county and was acquitted,
though the lawyer who defended HIM said
be ought TO have been convicted. Car
penter, and one Holland, a travelling
Snowman, were travelling through Web
s,ercounty last November, and on Sunday,
November 4lh, they met the two daugh-
ters Of Morrison, sged nine and six years
respectively, on Hodom mountain on their
way TO their uncle'r, who lived at the foot
ot the mountain. After passing the girls,
Carpenter excused himself from his COM
panion ard said he had TO meet fellow al
the school house and would return later
in the day and proceed on the journey.
Carpenter retraced his steps and caught mp
with the girls. He induced the
youngest girl 10 proceed on her journey,
and then enticed bis little victim of the

to his companion and stopped at the very
