Their Next Candidate.

The republican papers of the East, which
reflect the wishes of Wall street, are already,
since the election, pointing to Mckinley as
the proper republican candidate for 1896,
and the Protective Policy" as the "para-
mount issue" for the party TO inscribe on its
banners The republican Wall street class
have deliberately set about destroying
Cleveland, having no further use for him
after the repeal Of the Sherman law. There
is no democrat candidate in sight, and
the prospect for one appearing is very slim.
II is developing and will appear with
much more distinctyeness before the next
session Of Congress adjourns that the fight
for national control will be between the
dominant influences of the Wall street por-
ton of the two old parties and the Peoples
party. Already that element of the two old
parties has set about bulldozing the re-
fractory element of the democrat party of
the South. In Virginia ten days before the
election came off orders were passed through
Malone TO the republicans of Virginia to
keep hands off or vote the democrat ticket.
The republicans had no ticket in the field
and were fully satisfied if the Popu.ist
ticket was successful the ballot box stuffing
and counting out election law of that State
should be repealed. This law places il in
the power of the democratic election officers
TO make such returns as they please. This
year they are holding back returns ill the
maximum and minimum returns are made
to correspond with what was given out by
the bosses would be the result of the election

bat in place of proving true to that hope
and interest, and when their hands were
loose, having no ticket of their own, the
street through the notorious boss, Malone,
they fall in TO help their old party enemy,
showing that such fellow feeling exists
between these old parties, that they are
ready to fall in together like husband and
wife and fight any other party that dares 10
interfere, with what they have grown TO
consider family affair, the government, or
rather the spoils, of this nation.
This is the alignment already being made
by the millionaire managers of the two old
parties. They expect to whip enough of
the democrat party into support of McKin
lev by the various kinds of brides they use,
to carry the republican party again into
power, with It's national banks, national
bonds-both unlaxed--and rich, powerful
corporations railroads, telegraph, tele-
phone, steam ship subsidies. land mOnop-
olies and other money phuences-which
are sponging up the substance of the people.
This controlling element of the old parties
which is preparing TO down Cleveland are
busy making capital in favor of nominal
changes and reductions of the McKinley
tariff. They proclaim that the mauufac-

tariff aud the belief is gaining that The
