SNssI PUBLIC MEN AND PROMISES.


Mr. Cleveland can say good things easily
as did his predecessor, Mr. Harrison, but when
it comes to acting like Mr.. Harrison he is on
the other side.
A few years ago, Mr.. Harrison had the worst
possible opinion of combines and trusts, but he
signed the Sherman anti-combine BILL which,
so far, has only caught labor organizations that
are struggling for the life of its members, their
wives and little ones, and afterward, Mr. Harri-
son Immediately subsidized
A short time before Mr.. Clcvcand's late NOM
inaton, he wrote public letter, in which the
farmer and working man were objects OF his
most tender solicitude; but, the first opportu-
nitv, the groans of starving laborers were hush
ed in the rattle of Winchesters under Cleve-
lands direction and now, to further deceive
the people, he, in his letter, says, in substance,
that the Vaccinations of trusts and combna-
tions should not be forgotten.
Going back further, the Republicans prom
ised free silver and tariff reduction, but steadily
worked ND to nonometalism and the Mckinley
bill. Promises have been broken, and there
fore we reason that they made to deceive,
and in the light of the past, if any Republican
believes that party will restore silver, he is to
be pitied for his partisan mbecility
If any Democrat believes that his party will
reform the tariff to any considerable extent, let
him reflect for moment and he will perceive
that Democracy has had its first and last oppor-
tunitv and utterly failed of tithe of its PROM
ises.
Young and fresh blood i'll national assem-
,ti I blies is our only hope, and that blood must be

Kansas wherein the Republicans stole every

Bro. Brooke The fact is he has been Popu-
