Conference.-The Echo" received
this mornig with your article on
McGrsth; We little expected such an
srlicle from such . sourse. We
credited you with honesty Of intent,
but mistaken conception Of things.
You aught to see redIIy that q
groudless attack upon McGratb, or
the venting Of . personal spite
against him would be dangerous
policy for Us. II the evidence given
by us 10 not well sustained where
would our lnfiuance and standing
with the party be In the final out
come? The assumption OF yourselves
and others that none outside Of the
alliance should interest themselves
In Its affairs 10 not we'll founded.
McGrsth 10 the head OF the alliance
which furnished IS per cent Of the
votes In the peoples party, is also 9
member Of the state central commit
tee Of the peoples party; II he IL
treaeherous to the alliane he can do
wonderful amount Of harm to the
peoples party, for the wreck Of the
alliance means the wreck Of the peo-
pies party. In his two positions as
President Of the Alliance and MEM
Der OF the Central Committee he can
do much harm u he 10 Q traitor, as
the alliance furnishes 90 many votes
for the peoples party. No one inter-
ssted In the welfare OF the party can
fail to take su interest In the alIi-
ance and 90 you and Us and all reIrom
papers are 10 duty bound to expose
every one who's policy endsngers the
alliance and through IL the peoples
party.
The vote Of the peoples party IL
necessarily made up Of the member
ship Of industrial organizations.
Every leader or head OF one OF these
organizations who Is opposed to the
principles Of our party, who favors
either Of the old parties, weakens the
peoples party to the extent of this
infiuance. Again ~e say u IL you
duty and ours to assail the position
Of all such leaders.
We see you have the testimony rs
given In the Advocate v ith the ques-
lions asked by McGrath and Codding
for the purpose Of weakening the |
evidence. No man IL more conf
dent Of the guilt OF MeGraIh than
DIR. McLallIn OF the Advocate. All
the evidence I'm possession Of the |
was not given In the Adj
vocate. There 10 evidence which we |
have given which could not have in |
trOduced before the committee that
goes much farther towards condem-
Ing McGrsth aud proving him to be
\ traitor, drst to the alliance and |
secondly 10 the peoples party than
any evidence brought before this
Have you read the evil
ience as given editorIsly by us and
he analysis Of the same.
Friends we would like to ask you
4 there 10 nothing In the fact that
MeGrath IL O personal friend OF |
Turner's, was q hard worker Of Turn
RS In the Colby convention, left the
republican party only after Turner
vas beaten, that they spent q day
