Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1892-07-07

'~S~SASAA~ l.
Harrison on his renominatio n, had ar
rayed his police and armed and
equipped them to put down his own
laborers and workmen, and had sur
rounded his establishment with
AN ELEVEN-TOoT WALL.
For what purpose? To protect him
self against the people OF the United
States under this iniquitous system,
and now the newspapers of the country
were full of rumors of war between Mr.
!Carnegie's company and it's own labor
ers, ''the recipients of the bounty of
which the senator from Maine had
spoken so eloquently today" No
wonder Mr.. Carnegie had congratu-
lated President Harrison on his renom-
ination. He was the recipient of the
benefits of that system.
He was glad that the republican
party had placed at the head of it's
national committee ''another of the
same brood of politicians. I know
Mr.. Campbell, the new chairman. con-
tinued Mr.. Vest, and it is providen-
tial dispensation (as the preachers say
that he has been put there. He is the
feed attorney, and nothing else, of p:
u. Armour. He haunted my commit
tee committee OH beef products) from
one end of the country to the other,
representing Armour and his beef mo-
Eopoly at Chicago. He is the man who
advised Armour to defy the senate of
the United States and refuse to obey
it's subpgnHs. This man is nothing
but
A TOOL OF MONOPOLY.
He was the ablest and most plant
instrumentality in the hands Of Armour
and his company, in order to rob the
people, and especially the cattle raisers
of the West. OF course he is at the
head of the republican national COM
mittee. lie is the sort of man to do
the work. Why should he not be there?
Armour's money and his talent and
monopoly against the American people
and the consumers of the country. We
accept the issue; and, God willing, we
will stand by it until not one solitary
democrat throughout the country can
be found who will not admit that this
is the great issue, the overwhelming
one now to be determined by the suf-
frages of the people next November.
Mr.. Hale said: AS to the selection of
the chairman of the republican national
committee the senator from Missouri
has sought to bring reproach on Mr..
Campbell because Of his association as
counsel with great monopolies and
great interests. Has it gone out of the
mind of the senator from Missouri that
the great convention of his party in
Chicago was dominated and controlled
from beginning to end, and by that
great leader Of the Cleveland hosts, ex-
secretary Whitney? Does he claim
that Mr.. Whitney is in no way asso-
ciated or connected with any great in
terest?
CORNERED AT THE JUMP.
, Mr.. Vest-Does the senator say that
he is?
Mr.. Hale-The greatest of all the
trusts, the Standard Oil company. is
the interest that controlled the conven-
tion.
Mr.. Vest-I ask the senator categor-
ically whether he charges that Mr.
Whitney has any connection whatever
with the Standard Oil company.
Mr.. Hale-I do not make any charge
against Mr.. Whitney.
Mr.. Vest-Then it is utterly unfair
and unparliamentary to make an in
situation which senator is unwilling
to put in so many words. I deny it.
I deny it on Mr.. Whitney's own state
ment. He has no interest whatever in
the Standard Oil company. His brother
in-law is stockholder; but I have yet
to learn that man is responsible for
his DrOther-ln-laW.
Mr.. Hale-Do you say, in terms, that
Campbell has a dollar of interest in the
great trust which you have referred to?
Mr.. Vest-I affirm here on my per-
sonal knowledge that Mr.. Campbell is,
and has been for years. the paid lawyer
of P. D. Armour, attending to all his
law business; that he followed my beef
committee to St. Louis and Chicago,
advising Mr.. Armour, and that he is
the man who instigated the movement
on the part of Mr.. Armour to refuse to
obey the subpoena of the senate.
Mr.. Hale-I suppose that Mr.. Camp
bell, who is a very able lawyer, has
clients in many domains of business.
He is none the worse for that. did
not assert that ex-Secretary Whitney
has any interest in the Standard Oil
company. His denial of that is enough
