meannesS seeks an excuse for refusing to aid
in securing the success Of the party of which
they are the benefciaries and those whose con-
seriousness OF their own corruptness makes
them ready to charge corrupt motives on
Others. / feel sure that you do not belong to
either OF these classes anu will feel willing to
bear your share Of the burden of the necessary
expenses
2. As republicans you must desire the sue
cess of the party and especially that we retain
control of the next Congress in order to COM
plete necessary Legislative work. A single Con-
gress Is not enough in which to harmonic
opinions, mature laws to protect tho equal
rights OF all citizens and determine what is
best to be done for the vast and varied matte
rial interests of this great country. Since the
successful introduction of the ''shot gum" Its
sue ballot" and counting out' industries into
the democratic policy of the south we have not
had two successive republican Congresses, be-
cause of the large number of stolen seats the
other party have held. AS we have special in
terest in the success of President Harrison's
administration duty devolves ON us to do our
utmost to obtain a republican majority in the
next House.
8. As Indiana republicans you know the des-
perate political methods Of the democracy of
our state and the infamous means to which
they have resorted to hold it. In open and
fragrant violation of the constitution of the
state they have passed an election law intended
to dlsfranchise you; they have gerryman-
dered the state as to deprive republicans of
Just and equal representation in Congress and
IN the legislature; they have shamefully pros
tituted the public and charitable institutions of
the state to the meanest party uses and they
have doubled the state debt as a result of their
mismanagemeDt
You are therefore cofdently appealed to by
your fellow republicans of the state to assist
them In the present campaign with so much of
the slnews of war you can afford. This will en-
able them, by a thorough organization and q
Tree use OF the means OF information, to make
successful appeal to the people of the state.
Two years ago we wrested from the democracy
the executive and the judicial departments and
this year We should win the legislature. This
will give us the Senator to whom we are Justly
entitled, Will secure to US a fair apportionment
under the new census and will enable US to Sc
cure our proper share OF members of the House
OF Representatives well enable us to
remedy the abuses Of the last ten years of DEM
ocratic msrule.
To those republicans who are in office allow
me to say: You have the same right to contrib
ute to the campaign funds of your party as if
you were not III office. No one has a right to
assess or to coerce you into giving; but no one
has right to prohibit you. You cannot be So
hclted at your places ofs official duty, but out
side these you can confer and contribute as
you please. The civil service laws are designed
TO protect you in the free exercise of your
rights-not to convert you into political Gu
nuchs. ANY civil service commissioner, superior
officer or fellow employe who attempts to HIN
der your giving will he himself in violation OF
the law. address you therefore, as free men,
fellow republicans, DESTROYS of aiding your
party In all proper and lawful ways.
That all Indiana republicans, in and out of
Office, who wish TO aid the state committee BY
their contributions may have the opportunity
Of SO doing, have the honor to announce that
will be at my Office daily during business
hours and will remain there from to o'clock
on the following days: August 81 and Septem-
Der j, Is and 80. Come and see me as above,
very truly, yours, W. w. CURRY.
