The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-10-25

we'll the arrogance Of this public serv-
snt-the insolence and audacity with
which he stands, like Titantic high
wayman, holding up a whole nation.
Mark, too, that excessive abuse Of
power that led him to debauch the
chastity Of two men who once ranked
high in the esteem of their countrymen
irrespective of party.
Recall what Voorhees,, once a polite
ally virtuous man, said of that abom-
Unable creature, John Sherman. 'Mr
Sherman" said Voorhees,, lis the great
est financial weather-cock in America.
He has been on every side of every
financial question as best suited the
purpose of Wall street and New York"
Now we have Voorhees, doing the same
thing, hypnotized into q hypocrite, be-
come libeller of his own worthy past
through the mysterious moral poison
with which Cleveland infects his asso-

then consider Carlisle's course since he

It was intimated the other day in the
senate that an impeachment trial for
their Illegal official acts ought to be
held. Whether of the plant tool or
the Wall street workman does not mat
ter. Both are on trial in another way.
They seem to be paying too much at
tention to the private bar of the White
house, but another bar. that of public
opinion, they must have forgotten
Already Washington is rife with ru-
mors of their confirmed habits of in
toxication.
Here is John ]. Ingalls, reply. taken
from the Chicago Inter Ocean, to the
query a. to the qualities necessary in
the ideal candidate for the republican
party in 1896:
He should be able to pass the main
part of his time in fishing and outdoor
recreation, and to convince the people
that his days are spent in ceaseless
study and unending devotion to public
safety. He should know how to be a
drunken libertine and retain the adula-
ton of pharisees and precisions He
should acquire riches beyond the
dreams of avarice by questionable
transactions with guilty favorites, and
yet preserve the reputation of rigid
and sturdy honesty. He should repeat
dull phrases with tho solemnity of an
owl and the vacuity of parrot, and
then acquire the fame of sagacious
statesman and profound political econ
omist. If such an admirable Crichton
can be found in the republican party,
judging from cotemporaneous history,
he would be the ideal candidate.
Now if the things thus limited at bv
Ingalls, are true, we must have reached
the bottom of the pit of national dis
grace; but I submit to the American
people that the present attitude of the
president towards our national legis-
lation and legislators is breach of
public morals more damaging and dan
gerous than his private morals, how
ever base. His manner is more auto
cratic than any English monarch since
Charles the First would have dared to
assume towards parliament and his
subjects.
Such conduct brought Charles to the
block. Is free America without her
