CLEVELAND OR HARRIsON2
The Failure to Vote for Cleveland is Half
a Vote for Harrison. The Situation
Seriously Discussed.


Vote for Harrison. The Situation
Seriously Discussed.
While one might hesitate to predict
the result Of the election in November.
il can be said without hesitation that
either Cleveland or Harrison will be the
next president of the United States;
which, depends largely upon the canvass
in the next sixty days.
There is a disposition in certain quar-
ters where the Farmers Alliance is strong
to abandon the Democratic candidate
and cast the vote for General Weaver
This is due largely TO the prevailing dis
content and TO low prices for farm pro
ducts. Notwithstanding the agitation
for free trade little relief has been OBJ
tanned. In fact, the exactions OF the
robber barons have been increased
! Demagogues have used this dssatisfac-
! ton for their own purposes What did
! the Democrats do, they say, when Mr.
! Cleveland was in oilice2
They cut down expenditures; they put
through the house Of representatives a
bill reducing taxes, and Mr.. Cleveland
vetoed the Dependent Pension bill
IL is to be remembered that tine Demo
Gratis have not had since the war, control
Of the law making power of the govern
ment They had at one time the senate
and the house; again they had the presi-
dent and the house, but did not have the
senate. They have not been able to pass
a single bill since the war that was OBJ
jectionable TO the Republican party All
that they have been able to do has been
in the house to check the extravaganza OF
the senate; in the executive department.
TO introduce economy and business
methods.
The purposes of the Democratic party
have been fully defined They are writ
ten in the famous tariff message OF
President Cleveland they are found in
the message vetoing the Dependent Pen
sion bill they were foreshadowed in the
Mills bill.
The Democratic party has moved for
ward step by step. Every bill for the re
duction of taxes supported by the party
has been a step in advance of all previous
measures. The Democrats presented
first the Morrison horizontal bill. whcl
was defeated Next they offered the
second Morrison bill more thorough
and logical measure, and that was de
feated. Then they formulated the Mills
bill. n still more advanced measure, jus
fed by the conditions of the country
a bill which should as compromis,
measure, have been accepted by the sen
ate; it was rejected.
The next bill will be as far in advance
of the Mills bill as the Mills bill was il
advance of the Morrison horizontal bill.
These are the promises of the Demo
cratic party, and the promises that they
have made in every campaign have beer
fulfilled as far as was in their powe
when in control of either house of con
gress.
The recent congress refused the ex
penditures demanded by the Republican
ofliceholders and the senate They wer
not able TO return to the Cleveland level
simply because the Reed congress had 81
enlarged the pension list and had enacted
bounty and subsidy laws to such an eX
tent that it was not possible to force thu
Republicans economically to administer
the government
If the Democrats Of the country vii
do their duty. if they will stand to
gether If they will refuse to divide thei
votes, they will not simply secure tn
election of Mr.. Cleveland in November
but they will also obtain control o
the United States senate. If that b
done their professions may for the frs
time be put TO the test
The Republicans in the North viii un
derstand that a vote cast for any othe
candidate than Cleveland is a vote 70
Harrison In a recent speech in Obi
Governor Foraker said.
There are n number of parties, an,
each has its candidate, but il may be as
mmed that, if they live, the next presi
dent of the United States will be eithe
Harrison or Cleveland II there wer
nothing more involved than a choice be
tween these men, every Republican
should stand by his own standard bearer
His record is much the better Both h
and Cleveland commenced political lif
before the war. They began, and hav
ever since continued, in opposition parties
! They have all their lives represented an
and commended for conflicting and oppos
ing ideas, principles and purposes.
Let our friends of the Farmers All
ance, and men who are disposed TO try
new deal by voting for General Weaver
2 consider this declaration of Governo
{ Forakers 1t is as certain as anythin
in the future that the next president O
the United States win be either Cleve
land or Harrison. Failure TO vote 70
!, Mr.. Cleveland is at least half vote 70
the election of Mr.. Harrison -Louisvill
