EDIroR CnlBr:--In making q fore.
cast OF what is to come on the 9Th Of
November, there certainly Is abundant
reasons for our republican adhsrcnts
to feel hopeful Of the best results &C.
! cruing from this closing campai On Of
enlightenment; q campaign 30 dcoid.
edly different from that four years ago.
In the campaign Of 1883, too much
was taken for granted, on the part Of
the republicans, as touching the real
understanding Of the people on ece-
nomic and other questions Of the day,
and, as . result Of this overveening
confidence, We found that Thousands
Of voters went to the polls and took .
leap into the unknown mysteries Of
the future, with feelings akin to awe,
because Of their inability to determine
as to what the situation demanded.
And, having heard II over and wei
again that the republican party had
turned pirate and was devastating the
country, IS . forlorn hope they voted
against the party against which they
had heard 80 much that was damsg-
ing, unmanly and unholy. But II
was not long until this class Of voters
began to discover that . mistake had
been made somewhere: that all was
not Is had Teen represented. They
now commenced tho work Of inform
ing themselves, and soon found that
they had made a grave mistake when
they turned their backs upon the
party that had done more for the
common people Of our nation than had
ever been accomplished by all the
other parties combined. They found
that tho wild and Customary schemes
Of the populists were in reality, moth
ing more nor less than the thinnest Of
subterfuges--among which were the
doctrines of free coinage Of silver,
popular loans at two per cent, fat
money and the like. They now began
o system Of reasoning, and, a,ded by
the solid discussions Of these and
kindred topics they quietly pursued
these Investigations, until the fact OF
their having been led aatray by these
false doctrines began to dawn upon
their minds. Then they Investigated
the robber Mckinley bill, and were
startled BY tho discovery that not
only the democrats and the populists
were ~contendipg for what vas nothing
less than free trade, but that Great
Britain was exceedingly wrought up,
and greatly Disguised with the robber
Mckinley bill, and declaring that
such o law was working mischief with
her foreign trade. Next they exam.
ined the reciprocity trade with f,r.
sign powers, and found that II did
work most admirably. They then
took up the rawlings Of the democratic
and populist statesmen over the Force
bill, only to find that Mr.. Cleveland
had called to his aid the powers that
be in the shape Of United States
narshals at tho time he was president
and sought to DO reelected. Well,
that was q hard koock, and let in CON.
siderable light. And SO tho work Of
enlightening proceeded, quietly, sin.
cerely, honestly, until the dark veil
Of distrust and almost hatred Of their
republican brethren fell to the ground.
And now through the perseverance
Of those noble fellows, who at heart
were always right, they are once more
basking in the sunshine, and though
in Q quiet and u~nostontious manner,
are going TO the polls to drop into the
ballot box their own good, old.fash.
toned solid republican votes, and
thereby place the seal Of condemns
ton upon all this wild and discordant
bowling for Office on the part Of not q
few OF the most consuhmate liars and
political monstrosities the world has
ever seen. Of course il 10 not claimed
in this article that there will be q
complete victory on the 9Th Of No
vember, but that tho good sense u
our people will 90 curtail this noisy
army Of Office seekers, q to ave the
country from utter ruin, and agsir
lay the foundation for complete 70
publican rule. Such mon - Van
Wyck and William Bryan, with
number Of lesser lights, will be elect
cd by comparatively small msjorities,
if at all. But these voters had Q con
stitutional right to vote as they did
and now claim the same right to help
to undo the great wrong which they
unconsciously helped TO fasten upor
themselves and others; aud they NEAR
to rectify that wrong as far, as II
them lies the power, on the BIB day
Of November, in the year Of grace
1892. y
