-Nl-kA - by the recent national
management of the Republican party was a
complete failure And here assert that it
was a failure 1t was like the purified water
that is used at the collieries-it destroyed the
Innings of The Republican boilers and they
went up under slight pressure.
A lack of political work, a lack Of common
sense was what subjected the party to the
tornado. Why just think Here were the
Democrats drumming into the heads of the
workingmen of the country the argument
that the Republican party was responsible for
the affairs at Homestead, and in the face Of
this argument the Republican national man
agement allowed the Democratic assertions
that Frick and Carnegie had contributed to
the Republican campaign fund to pass by
without notice. That was a mistake!
If it is true that the Fricks and Carnegies
did contribute to the National Republican
campaign fund the committee was foolish in
accepting it. If such contributions were not
made, then the national committee neglected
its duty when it failed to so inform the
masses who must have been influenced by
the report. like the sentiment of Hon.
James S. Clarkson when he says that in the
day of new energy the Republican party
will draw its line openly and boldly and free
itself alike from the Carnogies, Fricks and
others who betrayed protection to gain cheap
labor, and from all others wearing its name
for purposes of their own gain.
Let us hear no more about purifying poll
tics. The present system of purifcation is a
failure. 1t destroys our boilers and leaves US
high and dry without presidency, Senate,
or Congress
Mr.. Carter made good looking chairman,
as paper have just laid down remarks,
and he looks so much like the typical "Uncle
Sam" that one would think the people would
be willing to flock to his standard for almost
solely that reason. Mr.. Carter is generous
and afiable, but he is failure as national
chairman. His politics are not practical.
The people would no doubt like to see the
politics of the country purified, but that they
first want to stand by the party that seems to
hold out the greatest inducements in dollars
and cents was demonstrated last Tuesday.
1t would take thousand years to purify
Tammany Hall, but the people took its word
and we are in the soup.
And there was another milestone, Whitelaw
Reid. Egad it will be long time before
the Republican party will look for a candi
date in the IribRne building again. The
ghost of Horace Greeley seemed to have hold
of his coat tail and he couldn't run little
bit. True he made magnanimous contribu-
tion to the campaign fund, $4,000 believe ;
but several days before the election his news
paper put in a bill of $4,000 to the Republi-
can National Committee, which, by the way,
very much resembles the loyalty Of one of
the newspapers in this county.
Contrast this $4,000 transaction with
Democratic methods. Last year the Demo
cratic National Committee was in debt to the
extent of over $4,000. This was suddenly
wiped out How, or by whom, is not stated
directly; but some of the most prominent
and reliable Democratic papers say that a
look at the stub book of Calvin S. Brice
would solve the problem.
The millionaires who surrounded Chair
man Carter this year were not practical men
and, as l said yesterday, the method in which
the late campaign was conducted for the
Republican party made me sick. C.*Y.
