By the decree Of Tyrant Tom Reed.
the brutal presidile o6icerof the Nstion.
al House of Representatives., eight Dsm-
ocrats have been driven from their seats
in the Congress Of the United StstsA
These Democrats With their plur.lisiss
arc as follows: Congressman Pendleton,
Of West Virgins, 70; Congressman Csts.
Of Arkansas, 1.s4s; Congressman Comp
ton. of Maryland 1915 Congressmaa
Wise. of Virginia; so1; Congresses
Turpin. Of Alabana. ls.lss; consress-
man Breckinridgss Of Arkanssa go;
Congressman Venabie. Of virginia. slss
Congressman Elliott. Of South Carolina,
1855. The Infamous grand larceny
made = change Of sixteen votes I'm Con-
gress, and gave the Republican party .
majority, which the people Of the United
States refused 70 do at the
polls The liberties OF the people
wore to 30 stacked snd 70
do it successfully the bosses had 70 have
q strong working majority At thoir back.
The grand larceny Of these seata suficed
to accomplish that result Thcn the.in.
famous Force bill was sprung and the
wicked and Ubiquitous tariff billpassed.
By the passage OF this.act the Republic
an lcaderafedeemod their promise made
to the moncpolists ef the East and arc
now in a posHioN 10 domsnd thor
pay in tho, shape Of An immense
corruption fund 4ef the campaign.
Now what does al shis meant Let 10
see. Tho sum total sot tho Democratic
pluralities swep: away BY partisan votes
in the Chamber OF Representatives Il =
little less than 1900. But the asbi-
trary decisions Of the Republican House
do much more than thak The number,
Of Democratic votes east at the elec-
tions Of 1888 for these eight expelled
Congressman is ls4. 7sz. In other words.
to strengthen the policy Of fraud and
force. nearly 12s 900 citizens have been
practically disfranehised. robbed Of
their choice ofsRepresentatives BY the
decree of one hsndred and afty or sixty
Republicans sitting IN the House. The
simple fact is strong enough without
adjectives Of characterization: For the
expulsion of Representative the Con.
stitution requires 8 two-thirds vote Of
the House. !, These eisht Dsmocxatio
Representatives. have been expelled by
less than a onc-half vote OF the House,
and for no othor offense than that they
were Democrats, and that their con-
tinued presence in the House Was bar
to tho programme Of tho party Of force
and fraud.
In tho face OF these facts can any self
respecting Democrat veto for any Re-
publican Congressional candidate who
is pledged in advance to support every
thing we are daily condemning and
against which We are entoring our SOL
emn protest. We do not believe there
is one Democrat who will commit this
party treason and betray tho cause Of
tho people.
W. 2. Nc Donald, Stats Inspector Of
shops andi factories by the grace Of .
Democratic. Legislature. Is playing .
very SMOOTH game this campaign. Mr..
Mcdonald is simply laying bis neck on
the block whom thS Legislature meets
this wintef. Mr.. Mcdonald is SLOWED
1900 1ayPar salary and contingent ex-
penses for travelinE He is supposed to
inspect public buildings here and there
through the State in the interest Of life
and humanity. Reports como from
q certain city that al Of his time is not
spent in the service Of the State IS tho
people imagine. Mr.. Med. evidently
thinks the public ia made up largely Of
fools and sich, but he will learn later
along that he is the. only one who will
be fooled. While in GAINESVILLE tho
other day he made . personal canvass Of
the men in the shops he inspected and
lectured to them privately asto their
duty in the political premises. It so
that he ran across good
Democrat and tho two had 1t hot and
heavy as tho story. goes. Mr.. Mcdonald
abused him and told him what
q crime he was committing in voting
the Democratic ticket He warned
him against such q course and reminded
him that the Democrats would ruin the
country IL they had chance. The In
spector was very bitter against the
Democrats and applied various epithets
to its members. 1t is time to call halt
on this officious henchmsn OF the late
Foraker regime. He is too fresh and
should be disciplined by the Legislature
1t the coming session.
