bonds to get gold for them as long as
they hold power.

POLITICAL HASH.
SERVED HOT AND COLD TO
SUIT OUR READERS.
What Is Being Said and Done ISere,
There and Everywhere.

The Populist have always charged
that the leaders Of both old parties
were controlled by the money power
of the country, aud that upon matters
affecting the interests of banks, corpo-
rations and trusts the representatives
of those parties would be found vot-
ing together Since the democratic
party has had control of affairs the
truthfulness of these charges has been
demonstrated. On the question Cor
the demonstration of silver majority
of both parties voted to strike down
silver. The democratic party has
fostered the interests of trusts the
same as the republican party. 1t has
acceeded to the demands OF bankers as
did the republican party. 1t has sided
with railroad corporations as did the
republican party. In Oregon the demo-
Gratis voted with tine republicans
against the Topulists, and in Alabama
the strong republican counties
(negroes) gave the democratic candi-
date for governor the largest ma
jority.
And now comes the chairman of the
republican state committee of Wiscon-
sin who explains the whole situation
and lets the political cat out of the
bag. He says:
The present unsettled social and
economic conditions make it necessary
that the Populists should be driven out
of public life. The Populists are a
dangerous menace to law and order
and good government. | had
rather see a decent democrat in the
house than an indecent Populist, and
so far as their principles are con-
cerned they are all indecent however
agreeable may be their personality.
'On the great vital questions where
the honor and dignity of the Ameri-
can people are concerned we will al
ways find the democrats voting with,
the republicans for the common good
The democrats have the same feeling
so far as the republicans are con-
cerned. They dislike our financial
and economic systems, but they know
we are sound on all the great ques-
tions of the dav. So far as can con-
troll it there will be no alliance be-
tween the republicans and the Popu-
lists in the hope of defeating the
democrats. From what l hear the
gentlemen who are managing the
democratic congressional campaign
entertain the same aversion to those
unholy alliances, and l am glad of it.
If this program is faithfully carried
out by both sides we shall soon see
the last of Popullstic represen tation
in the house"

ne country is wondering now what
the democrats made their Chicago
platform for. While their declaration
on the silver question was a straddle,
it was interpreted in the west and
south to mean the repeal of the Sher-
man law with law providing for free
coinage. Instead of that the
party demonetized free silver. The
platform declared explicitly in favor
of repeating the state bank tax.
When the question came up the party
voted it down. The platform declared
in favor of local self government.
That principle was never so ruthlessly
violated as when Cleveland sent
United States troops to Chicago
against the protests of both the mayor
of the city and the governor of the
state. The platform declares it's hos
tilitY to trusts, yet it is known to all
that the party conceded to the ex-
actions of the sugar, coal, iron and
other trusts in the formation of the
tariff bill.
The platform declared it's devotion
TO the interests of the people, vet
their petitions have been ignored and
the demands of corporations and
banks been acceeded to as they never
were before in the history of the
country. With professions of economy
still ringing in the ears of the people
they have voted themselves extra pay
in the way of mileage
and clerk hire that ought to
shame the devil. The cries of
the workingmen have gone unheeded.
The distressed condition of the coun-
try has been ignored. 1t seemed to
have been the sole object of the pres
ent congress to look after and foster
the inserests of Wall street, the trusts
and corporations. If the people do
not repudiate the action of this
congress, then indeed are we nearing
that stage of paralysis that foreshad-
ows a nation of aristocrats on the one
hand and venal slaves on tho other
in a constitutional convention re-
Gently held in Albany, New York, j.
j. T. Brooks, vice president of the
Pennsylvania railroad company ap-
pealed 20 that body to em body a pro-
vision in the constitution prohibiting
public officials from receiving passes

that he was unnecessarily annoyed by
by requests for passes for representa-
tives, senators and even Judges of the
Supreme Court and their friends,
and, if he did not comply
the interests of the company
were jsopardized by the introduction
of hostile bills by the parties refused.

vision on this subject, and one broad

tion which is urge as one of the OBJ
