He Is q Dem0crotI
He was appointed on the recon-
mendation, among others, of Judge
Waiter Q. Gresham - CzeveEaad'S
Secretary Of State!
When these official statements
were made, the Democrats were re-
joiced to let the subject drop.
ANOTHER CASE OF THE SAME SORT.
Gen Black, as we all remember,
was Union Soldier.
He applied for Pension upon the
ground that was 'smentally and
physically disabled from any work"
Upon this ground he obtained a
Pension of 800 per month.
The "mental and physical wreck"
was appointed Commissioner of Pen
sions by Cleveland. He thus drew
the large salary connected with that
Office at the same time that he was
drawing 800 per month from the
patient taxpayers on the specific
ground that he was totally unable to
do any work, mental or physical.
Gen. Black continues to draw that
Pension from the patient public, and
the Democrats of his State have
elected this "mental and physical
wreck" to represent them in the
next Congress.
Thus we will have the pretty
picture of Democrat drawing
$4,000 per year because he can
work, and $1,000 because he can't.
Amt "the dear old Democratic
party" honey?
WILLARD AND HIS 100000.
Nobody has yet denied the charge,
openly made in the press, that Henry
Willard gave 100000 to the Demo-
cratic Doodle fund upon the con-
dition that Hon. w. r. Morrison, of
fhinois, shoula nor he appointed
Secretary Of the Interior. Mr.. Vii
lard is President of the Northern
Pacific Rail Road Co., and he con-
trolls 30,0O0,0O0 acres of land which
corrupt Congress gave that Cor
poration. He is also Agent Of Ger
man Capitalists. Mr.. Willard is like
wise the man whom Cleveland sent
over here to give US his orders on
the Silver Question. So powerful
was his influence that the vote stood
143 to 1852. Free Silver won by
only 9 votes. Without the Ten
Populists, Willard would have sue
ceeded in debating to Congress just
as he has succeeded in shutting out
from the Cabinet man whom the
Tariff Barons and Wall Streeters
fear.
'TAINT so
The statement that Mr.. Cleveland
has rendered Mrs. Lease a position in
his Cabinet is a mere fiction invented
by our enemies for the purpose of
injuring us in the eyes of the public.
MACUNE's SELL OUT.
At 115 Fifth Avenue, New York,
Mr.. Horace Kenney publishes a gilt
edged journal called "Anaericaa In
dustries." 1t is devoted, heart and
soul, to Wall Street. I have ex-
amined its pages carefully and speak
from personal knowledge. In its
last issue it bitterly denounces the
Congressman who voted against the
infamous Cate Bill which was pub
ished in these Columns last week.
This was the measure the New
York Bankers desired, which Cleve-
land dsslred and which the Ten
Populists alone prevented from
passing the House.
This Mr.. Horace Kenney is the
man who is now running The
National Economist, the organ of
the Alliancel
THE MESS OF PoTTAGE.
I have it on the best authority
that DR.. Macune sold out to Wall
Street at $4,000 cash and $4,000 on
time.
MAY BE A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.
Under the law, if the President
and Vice-President die, then the
Secretary of State becomes Chief
Magistrate.
If Mr.. Cleveland should over-eat
himself some day and kick the
bucket, who would be our Presi-
dent?
