WILL TIE JOURNAL STAND UP
AND BE COUNTED!

Ii the Journal keeps on lying like
! 1t has been, its readers will cease to
believe anything it says hereafter.
For instance, the whole country has
been talking about the flop of some
of the ablest men in tho Republican
purity, Walter q. Gresham, Of flli-
nols, United States Circait Judge.
and heretofore prominent Repub-
lican Presidential candidate; Wayne
McNacigh, OF Pennsylvania, At
torney General under Garfield,
Judge Cooley, of Michigan, Ex-
President of the Civil Service Com
mission, aud long list of other
prominent leaders in the party, who
are fast deserving the sinking ship
and coming out strong for Clevo-
land. All the papers have been
full Of it, aud the Republican pa.
pcrs even have been trying TO ex-
plain these changes by claiming that
these men were sore, disappointed,
etc., etc. which they were, very
much disappointed with their party,
hence their leaving it. But in the
face of all this. the JomrHdi comes
out last week in it's leading cdhto-
rial and either shows woeful igno-
rance or else is guilty of downright
lying, as witness this extract from
said editorial
Business men and workingmen,
hitherto Democrats, are aocking to-
the Republican standard this year
as they have not before for MANY
years. Hardly newspaper comes
to hand which does not name them,
ant wo hare get to hear of tho first
instance Of change the other Way.
In the same issue of its paper,
and on the same page only two coll
umns distant, it publishes letter
from Mafquess, written by the most
bitter Republican in the county,
wherein lie acknowledges and gives
the names Of two Republicans who,
he says, have declared their inten-
tlon to vote for Cleveland.
The J0HrRai goes on in this saiiie
article To give the name OF big
New York banker and tin manu-.
factrrer and glove manufacturer,
etc., who have come out for the Re-
pdblicnu policy. There is the rub
and the Jo"rnal unwittingly Civ,
the whole thing away. for it is trnc
that the bankers, monopoIists and
money power generally are with tho
Republican party, and il is to the
interest OF lie manufacturer, who
is able to make millions every year
out Of the Republican policy of
protection that is II fraud and rob.
