THE defiant attitude of the Presi-

stitutional or popular government. 1t
cannot be believed that in a Governs

the people, the governing power will
accept with meekness this defiant as
sault on their rights by repudiated

Lett ers from the People.

Mr.. Editor: A friend has sent
me two or three numbers of your pa
per and | am charmed with its claims
which | find thoroughly carried out
on the reading, as being a bright,
newsy, independent paper, and / wish
to express few thoughts, which l
think you may have the independence
to print that some papers wouldn't.
| am one only among 100000 but
l propose to vote myself self con-
stituted representative of that two
million for a few brief minutes. In
the first place the last National Re-
publican Convention, held at Chicago,
adopted the following plank in its
platform "That penny postage
should be adopted at once" l have
not the documents before me so | can
word the resolution just as it reads,
but this is the sum and substance of
it. Now | want to know what meas
ures have been taken to carry cut this
solemn pledge to the people! p. M.
G. Wanamaker, whom your paper
calls ''pious old fraud" says, "the
measure is not practicable. Now l
want to klow what odds that makes
when it is possible the Republicans
gained the victory through this very
pledge | tell you this measure
reaches these very millions of small
pockets, that | speak Of. Now is
the Republican party going to break
faith with the people and ignore this
whole measure? | am a Republican
and vote the Republican ticket, and
have right to criticise the dongs of
the public servants, whom we, by our
votes, have elected to office. Now if
the party courts defeat in the next
presidential campaign, let them come
back on their solemn pied ,es, made
to the people, if they dare. 1t is not
the insignificant sum of one or two
