The Party In Power Prepared to Buy the
Presidency Again.


Presidency Again.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution.
All indications point to a revival of
their old Doodle methods by the Repub-
licans. Within the past few days, it ia
said, discreet and skilful corrupticn
agents have been summoned from
various close and doubtful Stat es to the
National Republican headquarters, and
1t is now understood that the party in
power Is preparing to buy the Presi
dency as it has bought it before. Dem.
ocrats everywhere should get ready to
meet and battle the schemes OF these
secret agents. The boodler should be
spotted and met by vigilant Democrats
at every turn. The people are in no
mood to be cheated out of the Presi-
dency, and the agents who sneak about
over the country with Republican
bopdle in their pockets will have a
hard road to travel
a boodie Campaign III Now York, Cries a
Northwestern Organ.
From the Oshkosh (Wis) Times
Every move in the Republican canvass
in New York since headquarters were
opened has been with the sole object of
buying the electoral votes in that State
for Harrison and Reid. The first move
was the purchase of safes to securely
hold the corruption fund; the second
was the creation of that fund; the third
was the formulation Of plan to use
the money to secure votes, and the
fourth will be the use of the money on
or Immediately before election day.
