November and Victory.


publican party and endorsing the
candidacy Of Cleveland, was one d
the strongest documents that hs-
been fired at the Republicans this
campaign. 1t laid bare condition
u thi1RJ that should make the
cheeks Of the Republican campaign
workers blush with shame, If there
be any such thing in Republican
makeup. He charged point blank
that the Republican party could win
no election by honest methods. He
charged that II was party of Doodle,
and that IL .Ostered mOnied monopU-
lies for no other purpose than that o.
oxtorting from thcm m jney to carry
elections. No one will deny the fact
that Mr.. McVeagh is excellent su-
thority on this question. He has been
Republican all his life, and he has
been an Oflicc-holdiug Republican.
He was in Garfield cabinet, and mas
been one Of the parly's advisers for
many years. While Mr.. McVeagh
may not have been il party to these
frauds, he certainly knew they exist
cd or he never could have written
such scathing letter, which has
filed the weak hearted mombers OF
the Republican party with holy
horror. Say what they may Of this
letter, no Republican can make an
honest, wcll-inlOrmed man believe IL
lisa lie. II is truth as enduring AS the
heavens, aud people who have kept
up with the history Of the Republican
party In the elections Of the past de-
cade know II. The fight has always
been in New York State, and the Re
publican5 have been in the habit of
carrying the State by buying votes.
This has been done openly and above
board. 1t has heen done III the very
face Of the good people Of That great
State, and while they knew that such
was the case, there were lew who
could be convicted of the crime, from
the fact that the same men VINO were
bought could be bribed into swearing
falsely. This state Of affairs has been
running So long, and has become SO
notorious, that there is little wonder
when a Republican OF Mr.. Me
Neagh's standing deserts the parry
OF corruption and joins one which he
knows does not stOop to such
methods.
In spite of Mr.. McNcagh's letter,
and other warnings, the Republicans
are trying their same old game in
New York. 1t was some weeks be-
fore the Republicans decided or :heir
plan of campaign. They waited
with the nope that the elections in
the Southern States would give Thorn
some hope Of being able to break the
solid South. Notwithstanding the
visit of Weaver ana MIS-. Lease, the
South showed no sign of being
broken. This country decided to
remain solid for Democracy,
and it Is solid. Nuw that this is
fact the republiCars have come to
the conclusion that New York is
their only nope aud they are mar.
shallng their clans for the fray. They
have called Boss Quay anu Dave
Martin 90 headquarters and this
means that tho Doodle l. to be DIS
pensed by them. Two moro III
