Democratic conspiracy SINCE the Gays
of those concocted for the extension
and perpstua,ion Of human slavery is
now well under way. 1ts chief ma
nipulator is Senator German, and the
Doodle end is being looked after BY
Senator Brice, whose relations with
wealthy monopolies gives him con.
troll Of al the money that may he
needed. II wss to blind the people
to the object Of this conspiracy that

ity il the Legislature Of either Of
these States. The Democratic con-
spirators do not hope to elect Demo
Gratis from any Of these States to the
Senate, but they do hope and expect
to mako deals with the Populists by
which men will be sent to the Senate
who will aid the conspiracy BY vot-
ing a. directed BY chief conspirato'
German.
1t might be supposed that the leg
jslstion for which these votes are de-
sired was in some way connected with
the so.csIlsd reforming Of the tariff.
or with the financial policy Of the
Cleveland administration, but il har
nothing to do with sither--Gorman
and Brico are both At heart believers
In ! protective tariff, and neither Of
them takes any stock in the idea that
the Democratic party is going :"
mako radical changes IN the tariff
policy. The legislation for which
the votes Of Populist Senators is
wanted has for its object the perpet-
uation Of Democratic control Of the
national government, and in order to
obtain pledges from them that they
will vote for the repeal Of the laws
providing for supervision Of national
elections by Deputy U. S. Marshals
and U. S. Supervisors Of election cash
and big promises Of patronage, some
say even to the extent of Cabinet
position, are being used.
With the laws providing for ever
the partial federal supervision Of fed
eral elections wh,ch the present
statutes do) out Of the way the Dem
ocrat,c conspirators sec nothing Il
prevent the Democratic party retain
ing power for an indefinite period
They figure that they could then b.
absolutely certain Of the 159 electora
votes OF the solid South, besides thos,
OF New York, New Jersey, Connecti
cut, Illinois and the Democratic dis
tricts OF Michigan, thus making
Democratic nomination for Presiden
equivalent to an election. Thi
scheme is entirely in keeping wit
the history of the Democratic party
Fortunately for the country at large
irrespective Of political parties, tn
Republican leaders have known O
this conspiracy from its beginning
and they have been untiring in thei
efforts to defeat IL, which they ar
now hopeful, although not yet certa,r
OF doing. Should they tail to defes
il they will be in position to max
such an exposure as will raise a wav
OF indignation from the Atlantic I
the Pacific.
Representative Antony, of Texa
is one Of the Democrats who is an,
ious to hurry mp the introduction {
Democratic ideas. He has intro
duced bill in the House providin
that no more pensions be granite
under the Dependent Pension Act {
1890, and that the payment Of a
pensions which have been granite
under that law shall be stopped. M
Antony's Democratic colleagues al
real angry with him for having bee
so precipitate.
The Democrats OF the House wei
almighty glad to vote for the tw
weeks holiday recess, as it will pr,
vent their having to work so hard I
kill time and to keep from doin
something that might displeas
boss Cleveland.
Another set of people who warml
welcome the Christmas recess are III
representatives of the Europea
Steamship companies that have bee
struggling hard to stem the stron
Congressional current in favor of
temporary suspension of immigration
