GOD SPEED THE DAY

When the PIutocrats Shall Mass Thel
Forces Into One Grand PIutocrntIC
Party.
Boston has been called The cradle of
liberty" Lexington, Concord and
bunker Hill were perpetual figures OF
speech thirty-five or forty years ago al
Fourth of July celebrations. No race
OF people ever existed more jealous of
their rights or more Jealous in the strict
performance of their duties than the
citizens of New England half century
ago.
The developments of the civil war,
the rapid accumulation of judicious in
vestments, the growth of protected in
dustries and the rapid influx of foreign
immigrants have all combined to change
the patriotism of the well-to-do New
Highlander into the greedy partisanism
of n quasi Old Highlander
The Massachusetts mu0wump is sim
ply republican masquerading in the
garb Of a democrat in order to leaven
the eastern democracy with the leaven
of plutocracy. And this has been ac-
complished.
Last night april 9TH in Boston. at
the Hotel Brunswick, Mr. J. Fred Will
Jams, absent from his seat in congress
ION account of important business"
was given banquet by the Massachu-
sets Reform club, in recognition of his
eminent services in defeating the Bland
bill According to the New York World
che paid glowing tribute to the heroes
from the south and west who Imperfect
their future political existence by their
70 hn -. =,
He is reported by the World to have
said:
Il want to serve notice on the gentle
men here that they must in the future
remember that it is to such men as Will
son, of West Virginia, and others SINH
larly situated, they owe their salvation
from the great danger that has been
threatening their business interests. and
that when as very likely l shall, 1 adj
dress little note to them in the fall,
calling their attention to the fact that
these gentlemen are engaged in a strug-
gle for their political life, l want the
gentlemen then to respond freely and
generously for these men in the south
and west who so nobly stood by u.s."
Mr.. Sherman Hoar spoke in the same
vein, and when he declared that
equal honor was due to Speaker Reed,
Congressman Dingley and Henry Cabot
Lodge, the club arose and cheered again
and again.
The infamy of all this is but too ap-
parent but it is the brazen facedness of
it all that astounds
Men of the south and west mark
these men who are to be aided by east
0rn capital in their struggle for their
political life"
It's far more important to sink them
into the depths of political hell than to
elect a president.
Here are their names: Wilson, of
West Virginia; Wilson, of Kentucky;
Logan and Meyer, Of Louisiana; Draw
ley, of South Carolina; Houk, of Ten
nessee; eating, Geary, Loud and Nc
Kenna, of California; Cable, Fithian,
Hill, Hopkins, McGann, Newberry,
Post, Smith and Taylor, of Illinois;
johnson and Waugh, of Indiana; Bow
man, Dillon, Flick, Hamilton, Hayes,
Henderson, Hall, Perkins and Suriey,
of Iowa; Bellxnap, Burrows, Chapman,
ODonell, Stephenson, Stout and Wheel
er, OF Michigan; Castle, Hall and Lind,
of Minnesota; Cobb, of Missouri; John
son, Of North Dakota; Wilson, of Wash
ington; Barwig, Brickner, Bushnell,
Coburn, Haugen, Lynch, Miller and
Mitchell, of Wisconsin.
Another thing to remember is that
the eastern democrats who opposed free
silver and threatened another force bill
IL the south does not aid them In de-
feating free silver fraternize with Reed
and Lodge in order to defeat it.
1t is but a short step from eastern
mugwumpry to republicanism, and it is
a step which will eventually be taken.
