Harrison has been re-nominated
for President by the Republican
party; aud WhiteIaw Reid, of New
York for vice-President.
What does these nominations
mean9 1t is well for the American
people to ask this question. 1t
means an endorsement of all the
iniquities of the Republican party.
1t means that the people are to con-
time to be burdened by the robber
tariff by which the people are be-
ing robbed that the rich manufact-
urer may become richer. 1t means
if this ticket is successful, that the
consumers of this country shall pay
tribute for all time to the manufact-
urers and the monopolists. 1t
means an endorsement of the Force
election bill, of which Harrison is
the especial champion, and which
is to usurp power by force. 1t
means that if the Republicans win
in the Presidential and Congress
ional elections in November, the
Force bill that was up in the last
Congress, will be passed, and rigid
" enforced. 1t means that all our
federal and state elections shall be
controlled aud dominated over by
federal election commissioners, who
viii all be Republicans. 1t means
that if the people protest against
this usurpation of power, that fede-
raj troops will be called to surround
the polls to awe you into submiss-
ion, and that federal bayonets will
decide all elections in favor of the
Republicans. 1t means negro SUI
premacy in the South. 1t means
an endorsement of the reckless ex-
travagance of the Republican party.
1t means the overthrow of republi-
can institutions. 1t means centrali-
cation. 1t means more, the es-
adjustment of an aristocratic mon
archy, in time, with lords and
dukes. Itmeans a great deal more
than is seen on the surface. 1t also
means that the patriotism of the
American people will rise up and
defeat the Republican party in No
vember, and hurl it from place and
power forver.

Crowned With Reward.
CHICAGO, June S.-Mr Charles ].
Murphy, formerly of Omaha, who has
been commissioned by the government to
enlighten Europeans with regard to the
advantages of American corn, writes
from Berlin, giving some interesting de-
tails as to the progress made. In Ger
many, he states, thirteen mills have been
put in operation for grinding corn and
some of them have been working night
and day and have been unable to fill
their orders. Several other mills in
various parts of Germany will soon be
erected. the demand for corn is so great.
In Dresden, where two corn mills are
in operation, more than half the bakers
are selling maize rye bread composed of
one part maize and two parts rye, in
which the taste of the maize is not per-
ceiyed. Even the two mills in the latter
city, one of them the Bienerts. the
largest rye mill IN Germany, are baking
and selling large quantities of this
bread, and the old government garrison
bakery is turning out thousands of
loaves daily.
The government is now putting in a
corn milling plant in their large mill at
Magdeburg, and the government report
ON the value of corn as food viii soon be
published, which is the result of thor
ough investigation and practical testing
of bread-malSing at the garrison bakery,

1t is said now that the Democracy
and the Peoples party have agreed
upon a coalition in Kansas which
will probably result in the loss OF
the State to the Republicans or at
least place Kansas in the doubtful
column. According to the agree
ment the Democrats are to be given
their candidates for Chief ustice OF
the Supreme Court and Congress-
man at large. The rest of the State
ticket is to be given to the Peoples
party. Candidates of the two par
ties will be nominated at separate
Conventions, the Democrats on a
Democratic platform and the Peo-
pies party men on a reform plat
form. For Presidential electors the
details have not been definitely de-
cided upon.

The McKinleY tariff is WRONG In

The Mckinley tariff is wrong in
principle, wrong in practice, an
outrage on the laboring and agri-

vised for trusts and monopolized
wealth with a tendency to build up
classes and create missionaries, and
is inimical to the rights of the peo-

During the last campaign tho Re-
publican organs and managers de-
MED the charges of wholesale cor
ruption and the lavish use of money
brought against them by the Dem
ocrats. 1t was and is charged that
HarrisOn's election was bought out
right with money furnished by the
millionaire tariff beneficiaries of the
Republican party.
The corroboration of this came
out at Minneapolis. The hot and
bitter internal strife in the party is
causing prominent Republicans to
tell important truths about each
other. A prominent Republican
leader of New York, Editor VIM.
Barnes, of Albany, made a speech
before one of the delegations, and
gave as a reason why it would be
difficult to carry New York State
this year for Harrison. lie said:
at cost us million dollars to
carry the State four years ago, but
we can't expect to carry the State
in that way. this time under the OPP
GRAFTON of the Saxton ballot law"
Here is fiat-footed acknowledge
ment that New York's electoral
vote and the Presidency were pur-
chased for Harrison in 1888 and
that with an honest ballot even that
corruption fund of a million dollars
could not have carried New York
for Harrison.
IL will be useless hereafter for
Republicans to deny that their par
ty las won by fraud and depends
on nothing but Doodle, corruption
and fraud to carry elections.
The truths Republican leaders
are tutoring in the heat of the mo-
ment at Minneapolis just now will
not be forgotten.- Register.
