The Prince Of Demngognes.

Gen. Charles II. Grosvenor, the
Republican candidate for Congress
in this district is a fair epitome OF
his party in his total disregard Of
truth, coupled with the most
brassy eifrontory, when talking
politics.
In January of this year the "Gar-
field Club of Huntington" elect
ed our General n member of the
said organization, and in reply to
the notification of the action of the
club Mr.. G. opened several quart
bottles of his Republicanism 70,
their special delectation, and that
be might receive all the glory of
his production he had the letter
published in the Athens Herald of
Jan. %, last.
The letter is as full of Republic
can doctrine and Republican de-
nunciation as any document of
equal length within our knowl-
edge.
Among many other things the
General writes.

Hon. Wayne McVeagh of Phila-
delphia, has renounced the g. o. p.,
and announces his intention to
support Cleveland.
Mr.. McVeagh was President
GarfeId's Attorney-General, and a
prominent figure in Pennsylvania
politics.
In discussing the causes which
induced him to change, Mr.. Nc
Veagh says:
81 find myself in full accord with
the Democratic party, and find it
more easy to act with them because
the Republican party, securing its
return to power four years ago by
promising to preserve matters as
they were, at once EN- mbar!led upon
what regard as a reckless and
revolutionary policy, even overtur-
ming all safeguards oflegislation in
the house Representatives in their
haste to pass the force bill and the
Mckinley bill, both to my mind
unWise and unnecessary measures.
The economic evils, however
great, Of the Mckinley bill and the
unreasonable system of protection
it represents, are Of far less impor-
tauce to my mind than the moral
evils which follow in their wake.
In deciding for what purposes the
masses of the people may properly
be taxed, it must not be forgotten
that taxes have wonderful capac-
ity for filtering through all inter
vening obstacles till they reach the
bowed back of toll and resting
there, and therefore the giving OF
bOunties under any form of taxa
ton is mainly the giving away of
the wages Of labor. The sad truth
that the curse of the poor is their

more clearly than in the undue
share of the burdens of taxation.
But even such inequality and injus-
tice are the least of its evils, for
while such a system endures, polit-
ical corruption is absolutely sure
to Increase, as such system not
only Invites hut it requires the cor
rupt use of money, both at the polls
and in Congress.
If Congress was to levy taxes up
on the people to confer bounties
upon certain classes of manufactur-
ers, it would be very natural that
pension agents should also join
hands to increase their fees by an
indiscriminate granting of pen
sions. The result is that nearly a
generation after the close of the
war there is n steady increase OF
the vast sums passing through the
pension agents hands, until now
the total amount staggers belief

#** This battle will be bequath-
cd TO coming campaigns until there
is found no where in this country a
political party that dare to lift its
hand to strike down the suprem-
acy Of American labor and Ameri-
can Capital in the great battle be-
ing fought with the economic con-
ditions of the old countries."
The General is in favor of the
Republican system of protection.
Although he couples American
labor and capital in the same SEN
tence, he well knows that the sys-
TEN he praises is curse to Ameri-
can labor, and the firm support and
stay Of organized greed that grinds
the faces of the toilers to the eX-
trenie point Of endurance.
He knows that under this vaunt-
cd system every thing is done for
the protection of capital, while the
American laborer is left to fight
his battle against the foreign Pole
and Hungarian unaided and alone.
Protection OF manufacturers for
the benefit of capital and free trade
in labor for the same reason is the
sum total of the Generals system,
But the General was impressed
at that time that Senator Hill
would be the Democratic candi-
date for President, for after de-
nourcing the southern states in
reference to elections declaring
that "They are guarded by the
angel of dispotism and the flaming
sword of terrorism," he declares
that Representative government
in New York is thing OF the past.
1t has been subiugated by perjury
and grand larceny. The most
barefaced criminality that ever
surrounded the overthrow of polit-
ical government on this continent"
And the General forgetting that
by virtue of a total disregard of the
provisions of the state constitution
his party continued to hold control
of the Empire state until last year
they were fairly beaten by popu-
lar majority so great that the Re
publican Supreme Court of the
State declared his party past saliva.
ton. The General lays the burden
of his grievance on the shoulders
Of Senator Hill and charges him
with actively aiding in "crimes SO
startling and barefaced as to rend-
er the ku kluX and shot gun bands
unconsequential."
The Generals language sounds
heroic, but if his charges are true
why has not Gen. Grosvenor, or
some of his party friends caused
Senator Hill ami those in alliance
with him in this matter to be in
dicted and punished.
But the charges are not true and
serve only to mark Gen. Grosvenor
as Il dishonest demagogue.

1t is only necessary to announce

GOV. Mckinley has been, and is
now held up by the Republican
press and people as the great cham
pion of protection, an orator of
wonderful power and statesman
Of the first magnitude.
Mr.. Mckinley tacitlY sanctions
this estimate of himselfand parades
himself before the country as the
champion Of that special form of
legalized robbery, which has come
to be distinguished by his name.
In the face of all this the Cover
nor evades every opportunity Of
meeting an opponent of his dogma,
in open fair discussion.
When Col. Mcclure challenged
the Governor to meet him in Phil
adelphia, there to discuss the ta-
riff question, the Governor very
quietly postponed his answer and
when pressed to accept, referred
the matter to the National Bepub-
!ican committee, which declined
the challenge and gave as their
reason that the services of the
Governor were needed elsewhere.
The glaring untruth of this rea-
son was made apparent, by the
same committee making an ap-
pointment for the great champion
to speak from the same platform,
in the same city designated by Col.
Mcclure.
Now the Chicago Herayd says
that the Republicans of Rockford,
III |, have declined the proposition
made by the Democrats 10 have eX-
Governor Campell Of Ohio, meet
Governor Mckinley in debate at
the time the latter visits Rockford
in October. The reason alleged for
the declnation is that the Repub-
licans do not care to draw a crowd
for the benefit of Democrats.
The real reason is the mercy
which the Republican managers
are disposed to show to Mckinley.
Ever since that doughty champion
of protection fell into CampbeIPs
clutches at Ada, Ohio, about one
year ago, and was almost literally
"hayed alive" he has deliberately
run away from every proposition
to hold another joint debate.
OF course they don't care to draw
crowds for the benefit of the Demo
Gratis, because they fear to have Re
publicans hear the truth. AS far
as the crowds are concerned Gov.
Campbell drew larger crowds in
/ Ohio during his last canvass, than
Mckinley did. Every Democrat
who listens to Governor Mckinley
preach McKinleyism is more
strongly confirmed in the Demo-
cratic belief. The Illinois Demo-
Gratis would be as much elated over
another joint debate between
Campbell and Mckinley as were
the Ohio Democrats when Camp
bell "wiped up the earth" with Nc
Kinley ut Ada. The Governor
knows he has the wrong side of the
case, hence his refusal to meet Col.
Mcclure at Philadelphia, and the
refusal of his managers to allow
him to meet Campbell again.
The American people despise a
coward and Gov. Mckinley and
his friends, for him, are clearly
showing the white feather. IfMc-
Kinley wishes to be considered
more than a political charlatan he
must get some sand into his giz-
zard.

"NO one ever claimed protective
tariffs were intended to increase
wages,"-Gov. Mckinley. If not
why should the Workingman vote
to tax himself for the benefit Of the
corporate trusts.

DANGLING FROM A WIRE.
The CHASTITY Joke Played by Some Medical
Students.

The CHASTITY Joke Played by Some Medical
Students.
A telegraph wire at the corner Of 18th and H
streets bore CHASTITY fruit this morning. The
early risers in that neighborhood beheld an odd
looking human figure suspended from the wire.
1t was arrayed in a gossamer. 1t was at first
thought by some to be an efigy.
1t was, however, soon discovered that it was
a human figure and there was considerable ex-
element in the neighborhood. crowd of
people gathered on the street beneath the
dangling figure. Policeman Oriana had the
figure taken down and taken in wagon to the
first precinct station.
The figure proved to be the partly mummified
remains Of a woman. 1t had evidently been at
one time the tenant Of dissecting table, and
had been put through some process. To the
bones were still clinging dried membranes. mus
cles and tendons. 1t was blackened and alto
gether a demonstrating object, resembling
very much an unwrapped mummy. The pres
ence of the figure on the telegraph wire was
accounted for by the fact that a number of
medical students had been on a lark. 1t ia sup
posed that they hoisted the figure to its place,
and either were unable to get it again or were
willing to sacrifice possession of it in order
to create a sensation. Over the top Of the
skull, which had been cut open, was tied a
black cloth like a hood and the figure, stated,
was draped in an old gossarner cloak.
At the police station the skeleton was de-
posted in the sitting room, and it soon became
a most interesting-looking object under the
hands of Lieut.. Amiss and Sergt. Montgomery.
1t was adorned with q policeman's helmet, q
collar and necktie and pair of kid gloves.
A policeman's club was put in its hands and
Sergt. Shilling's cob pipe was thrust between
its teeth. To persons who called the figure
was presented as a new member of the force,
Later in the day the skeleton was turned over
to the health authorities.
