Rayner a Rothsclilis AGENT.

Rayner, Cleveland's chosen champion
to put through the repeal of the Sher-
man silver purchase act in the house, is
the American attorney of the Roths-
childs. He has the reputation of enjoy
ing the confidence Of the celebrated
banking firm of England and Europe
generally. 1t is well for the American
people to know this, as Mr.. Rayner's
training has been Of such a character
that he will probably not repeat the
blunder of Congressman Hooper of Mas
sachusetts, who, when engineering the
decentralization scheme through the
house of representatives in 1873 told his
fellow congressman that he and the coin
age committee had availed themselves Of
the valuable advice of Ernest Seyd, ads
tinguished English bullionist, who was
probably sent to this country by the
Rothschilds and other bondholders to
strike down silver.
1t is doubtful whether the plan Of us
ing an attorney of great banking con-
Germ on the floor of the house will be
good one for the monometallists. He
may be smarter and better equipped
man than Tracey or Bourke Cochran, who
know precious little about money mat
tiers, but his connection with the Roths-
childs will impair his usefulness and
damage Interpolation of Cleveland, who
appears to have put him in the fore

Aristocratic Deadbeats.

The Duke of Veragua, who was paraded
around this country as an advertisement
for the Chicago fair, cost the taxpayers
the neat sum of $4,000. To this extent
he was wined and dined at public ex-
pense while thousands of our own people
were in actual want of food, clothing
and shelter.
What right did congress have to
squander the taxes Of the people upon
this foreign tramp, gambler, libertine
and deadbeat? None in the world. Con-
gress exceeded its authority in voting
the appropriation of any money at all
for this purpose. But Mr.. Gresham, the
Republican member of Cleveland's cabi-
net, went further than congress. He
not only allowed the Spanish grandee to
spend every cent congress appropriated,
but many thousands more.
In other words, Mr.. Gresham, with
the insolent disregard of the people
which pervades every branch of Cleve-
lands administration, squandered sew
eral thousand dollars of public funds in
winning and dining gilded and profit
gate tramp without any authority of
law whatsoever.

equal chance with the man with the

ulated on a great deal by the anxious

really a shrewd man and had some
good surprise awaiting them that
would do away with the race. In
stead of this, the assertion only
applied to host of favored eastern
ers, who were allowed to pass through
the golden gates before the opening

ted greater crime than any criminal

be compelled to suffer the worst form
of criminal punishment known to civ

II Was the Nomination.

The London Standard suggests that
Mr.. Cleveland Eliminates against silver
because he owes his election to the anti
silver party. The English Tory organ
mistakes. 1t was his nomination, not
his election, he owed to them. Had the
American people supposed that he was
not loyal to the silver plank in the Chi
cago platform, had they believed that he
would antagonize it as he has, he would
not have been elected. Mr.. Cleveland
accepted his party's nomination, but he
took the platform with mental reserva-
tons. Neither on the tariff nor the cur
rency was he in harmony with it. He
considers himself greater and wiser than
his party, and really his hatterers have
done their best toenccurage his belief

How Cleveland Tricked His Party In choos.
Ing Cabinet Ofiicer.

hoW Siefcihnu lrickeu MS rarity In Cnoo1-
Ing Cabinet Onicer.
In communication to the Boston
Traveller Henry R. Legate, recently Of
The New Nation staff, calls attention to
facts Of considerable interest in view Of
the recent loud appeals of the Demo-
cratic press to United States Attorney
General Olney to enforce the law against
the trusts. 1t appears that Olney was
attorney for Greenhut, president Of the
pistilling and Cattle Feeding company,
otherwise known as the Whisky trust,
when he was indicted in December, 1891,
On suit of the United States for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, passed
July 9, 1890, the case being brought in
the Massachusetts district.
In this case Mr.. 0lney, in an answer
filed by him over his signature Feb. %,
1892, moved to quash the indictment on
several grounds, the most important Of
which was the alleged unconstitutional
ty of the antitrust act. The precise Ian
guage of Mr.. 0lney on this point APP
pears under the fifth section of the said
answer in which he speaks of the anti
trust law as follows:
Fifth-That the act entitled an act TO pro-
tect trade and commerce against unlawful re-
straints and monopolies, passed July 9, 1890. Is
not within the power OF congress and is un-
constitutional and void.
This is the gentleman to whom the
Democratic press bids us look hopefully
for an aggressive campaign against the
trusts. twill be remembered that on no
subject has Mr.. Cleveland at all times
been more eloquent than in regard to
the necessity of suppressing trusts. In
his inaugural last March he said:
These aggregations and combinations fire.
quently constitute conspiracies against the in
terests Of the people, and in all their phases
they are unnatural and opposed to our Ameri-
can sense Of fairness. To the extent that they
Gun be reached and restrained by federal pow
er, the general government should relieve our
citizens from their interference and exactions.
Even had Mr.. Cleveland not thus per-
sonally and gushingly promised the peo-
pie to attack the trusts, he was pledged
to that course by the Democratic plat
form, which was most violent in its de.
nunciation of them and its demand for
their suppression. One Of the Chief
Democratic indictments against the Re-
public party has been that it permitted
the trusts to exist.
Such being the facts, Mr.. Cleveland
appoints as attorney general to carry
out this war against trusts a lawyer
who had just put himself on record in a
most prominent case as holding the anti
trust law to be unconstitutional, null
and void.
The honest Democrat who can stand
this sort of thing must have a strong
stomach. He ought never to be seasick.

The POpulist county convention of

actions of our county attorney and re-

The attorneys name is Ellis Lewis

that resolution is new departure.
The ethics of party conventions have
been rudely sat upon by that cOnven-

how seriously crooked were the paths
of that official, for the sake of the
party his shortcomings should have
been ignored. Besides, such meas
