The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1891-07-17
stated, that the expression ofsentiment
was favorable to the

HON. LELAND STAMFORD,
OF California, as the candidate of the
party for President. Mr.. Stanford repre-
sehts one-halfof the State Of California,
which he owns, in the Senate of the
United States. He was the president
of the Central Pacific Railroad when
it received millions of acres Of the
public lands, and many millions moro
in bonds from the government, and by
his iudicious economy and vigilant care
for the interests of the people he made
fortune estimated all the way from
$50, 900, 600 to 500, 900, 900. He has been
lifelong Republican, and was sup
porter of the Mckinley bill and the
Force bill, but when he saw that the
latter could not pass he became all at
once the champion of the people, and
spoke out for the land loan scheme. He
invented that scheme to accomplish, by
dividing the farmers, what the Force
bill was intended to accomplish.
With such platform and such a can
didate the Peoples party ought to be
able to fill every State with stump mis-
sionaries, and if Stanford is not willing
to put up enough money, his friend Har-
rison might induce Senator Quay to loan
him little until after the election. 1t
is quite evident that there is some
greasy hand already oiling the political
machinery. 1t takes money to send mis-
sionaries among the heathens,a and whom
ever political missionaries 60 out over
the country evangelizing and to pros
elyte, somebody foot5 the bills. The
Peoples party must have good-sized
campaign fund, but the farmers did not
furnish it. Some people have thought
that as the farmers organizations are so
nearly in perfect accord with the Demo
cratic party and so Numerically opposed
to the Republican party that this Peo-
pies party, which is so loud in it's pro-
LESSONS of desire to relieve the people,
might intend to make sure of Repub-
lican defeat by aiding the Democrats or
receiving aid from them where their
combined strength would be required to
carry State, but not so. Their national
executive committee, which met at ST.
Louis the 18th day of June, adopted the
following resolutio
Resolved, That the national exeou
tive committee is unalterably opposed
to fusion with any other political party
and will not recognize any individual
committee or organization that proposei
or enters into such fusion as affiliated
with tht Peoples party"
1t is plain enough that Che only hop
the Republicans have of success is tx
have this resolution carried out in tn,
West, which divides the opposition
there, and to foment strife, discord ant
division in the Democratic party in tn,
South over the Subtreasury idea.
