Our bright hnd vigorous Peoples
Party contemporary, the Cameron al
itance, is highly incensed at the REGIS
TER for advising Democrats in
Wetzel and elsewhere to leave severely
alone the Third party, which is en-
couraged and aided "on the quiet"
by the Republican managers in Demo-
cratic counties. Not only Republican
encouragement, but the substantial aid
of Republican "fat" fried out of tariff
milionaireS and yielded up by the Hon.
STEPHEN B. ELKINs, is behind the
movement in this State. The vote will
probably be close on the Sth Of Novem-
Der, and the Republican idea. which is
shrewd one, is that enough Demo
cratic votes can be scraped off by this
Third party movement TO turn the
State over TO the control Of our New
Mexican visitor, Mr.. ELKINs. The es-
teemed Alliance says:
The idea of an an old selfish partisan
sheet of Wheeling trying to tell the PEG
pies party that il has not sense enough 10
attend to its own business! It's the same
old anteelection yell. 1t simply means
that the old falsifer is terribly scared, but
il still hopes by its lying to lash the people
back into the rotten Democratic craft, OF
which the WetZel county people know
more Orueryness than the REGISTER will
ever have the honesty and manhood TO tell.
| The old hypOcritical sheet would stand by
and see the Democratic party steal the
( life blood from the people and then laud
the old thief 10 the skies for glory, and
try TO make the bleeding people think 1t a
righteous victory.
The fact is, the laboring people are tired
of the promises of old parties, as well as
their work, and will keep straight ahead
i'm their own way regardless Of the frantic
wells Of the old parties.
The esteemed AUiGUce is very unwise
in working itself into this heated state
this hot weather. We advise cracked
ice. and a hammock in the shade
of some large, leafy tree in, or about,
Cameron as the best remedy, TO be TAX
en-, with allopathic doses Of calm thought
and consideration of the actual situa-
tiOn.
The third party, in the main, is right
eous and just in It's complaints against
1.-The old parties" But it must remem-
Der that only one of the old parties is re-
sponsible for it all--that only one has
had control of the government since the
war-the Republican party.
The third party opposes the taxation
Of the many for the benefit of the few,
and governmental extravaganza and
corruption. In this it is precisely in
line with the Democracy and the Demo
cratic platform. Do our third party
friends think they can correct these Re-
publican abuses by weakening the only
party that has any show of success
against the party in power, and which
is pledged to correct these abuses
pledged TO a reform of our infamous tar
iii system and toeconomical government
in the interest of all the people?
Every Democrat who tries to defeat
the party which alone is responsible
for burdensome taxation and class leg
islatIon, by voting the Third party
ticket in November might as we'll fight
a Windmill. Every vote diverted from
the Democratic ticket will be one vote
in favor of Republican success and the
continuation of extravaganza, corrup-
ton, class legislation, McKlnleyism,
and Mr.. HARRIsoN's pet Force bill.
1t is a plain situation, and newspa-
pers, which, like the Cameron Atltance,
oppose the Democracy and try to split
the Democratic vote lay themselves
liable to damaging suspicious.
