SEVERE BUT TRUTHFUL ATTACHMENT.

| Gov. DAVID liill OF New York made
speech At Canton, Ohio, Tuesday In " hicl,
he arraigned the republican leaders in the
following severe but truthful manner: "An
important political campaign Is that upon
which the country has entered. The
question presented 10 our voters is not
whethe" the next house of representatives
be republican or democratic, but wheth lr
the nature OF the federal government Is TO
be radically modified and the integrity OF
our institutions successfully threatened.
The great issue Is the record OF the repub.
lean party In its brief control Of congress.
No party has more Teekiessly dehed the
precedents, more fagrantly disregarded
principles, more boastfully overturned ira
dltions, more seriously Invaded private
rights, more arbitrarily encroached upon
prerogatives Of states, or more iyranleally
used the power Of partisan majority. The
anima,Ins motives OF it, acts seems TO haye
been only perpetuatlng Its own power.
The party has increased Its majority in the
house OF representatives by arbitrarily c.
ieeting democrats from their seata, stolen
the representation Of one state admitted
TO the union Of states whose only claim TO
'dmlsSlon Is that they will help swell the
republican majority, denied representation

and resources, ignored the rights of the

treasury su,plus by exlravagani aPpropria-
Hons TO coneiliate party interests, enacted
sarih bill which will supply corruption
funds for the election, conducted census
which Is denounced every where is WORTH
lees and manipulated for counting the re-
publican population up and the democratic
population down. and has threatened the
enactment Of a force bill which will put an
end TO state authority In certifca,Ion In
federal elections and make congress not
representative OF the people, but creature
Of whatever the federal officials may choose
To count In. This Is The record that con-
fronts the people"
After discussing the tariff 50 far as Il re-
lstcs 10 the interests Of the farmers, the
governor ceEiInncd: "But not only has
the republican congress stopped 10 sharp
tricks to hoodwihk ,hc American farmer
in the matter of tariffs on his products. bu,
Il has made his living mote expensive than
1, hitherto has bccn.'
The governor mentioned several articles
of luxury on which the tariff has been sc
dueed and added tina, the people are to be
taxed 10000. 900 ioi ten wears Ia order
that a few manufacturers may experiment
with the tin plate Industry.
IL you think this Is partisan statement,
read what member OF iiarrlAoa's cabinet
asys about It In a recent advertisement:
"Tin ware ia advancing in the coat and very
Goon manufacturer will have their own

Wanamakcr.
All over the country the effort of
sueh legislation has been TO increase
prices Of dry goods and other household
necessities. Not all of this increase Is per
haps jusil.iabIe but sharp merchants have
been quick to taAe advantage of the oP-
Portunity. which Mckinley offered them.
and the poor consumer IA the vict' m
whether justly OF not. The MeKiniey bin
has defined sharply the issue upon which
two parties divided. In It's enactment the
republican party has demonstrated more
clearly Than the sympathics uf Its leaders
arc not with the great mass Of people but
with certain favored classes.
Economic doctrine, which the party
now supports, Is one II would have repudl-
sted 10 years ago and which some Of It's
great men, like Blaine, are evidently de-
string to rcpuola,e now.
In conclusion Gov. llIll spoke of the
contest Of The Q6lh) congressional district,
urging every democrat TO vote for War
wick, the democratic candidate. For Nc
Kinley personally, he said, lie had the
highes; respect, but there never had been
a partisan outrage attempted against the
democratic party that mckinley had moi
supported.
