out Of SIG, ,0O0, 900, you made not less
than $5, ,OO0, 900. 1t Is your money made
in this way that leads me to brand your
wealth as damnable. do not think it
q crime for man to become wealthy by
honorable methods and by reputable
business pursuits. Honorable business
men, of tact, industry, patience and
genius, are welcome acquisitions in our
commercial activities and civilization,
but you have acquired your money by
an uncrupulous shrewdness that may do
honor to your "mental alertness," but
you have laid down the dangerous doc.
trine that men of your brains and caliber
have right to prey upon the property
of others If you can devise scheme that
will compel the rich to divide without
placing you in danger of the penalties
of outraged and violated law.
A LOT OF BURGLARS.
On page 273 of "Bosses and Boodle'
Mr.. Myers says that your partner and
associate, Samuel Thomas, was 30 over.
come by the success OF your bold and
daring plunder of Vanderbilt that he
exclaimed: "My God, gentlemen, we
are simply q lot of burglars. We might
az we'll get q jimmy and lantern and
break into Mr.. Vanderbilt's safe and
steal his money. It would be Just as
honest!" This is one of the few truths
that ever fell from Mr.. Thomas lips,
and your sense OF humor was 80 aroused
by this funny declaration that you raised
q liberal purse among your pals and
purchased Mr.. Thomas gold emblem
representing safe with the doors blown
of, and q diamond in the bullseye of
the lantern.
This mark was to commemorate the
signal achievement in modern industry
of blackmailing corporation without
violating the law, after you and your az.
sociates had violated the pledges the
Democratic party had made to the peo.
ple, and menaced the interests and
happiness of 10000, 900 Of people, in the
interests of the sugar trusts and other
Jobs. President Cleveland wrote two
letters in which he branded you and
your co.conspirators as guilty Of "party
perfdy and party dishonor." Never
before in the history of our country
were men of such prominence openly
branded with infamy and as infamous
by President of the United States
I wonder that your sense of humor
has not led you to tax your associates to
purchase some costly and appropriate
design to present to President Cleveland
as a token of appreciation for the
scathing skinnlng he properly gave
you and others who deserved it. A year
after this you ask us to forget your
shameless and unblushing betrayal of
your party and the people.
MILLION DOLLAR BRIDE.
At GAINESVILLE in June your private
secretary told a friend that you would
spend 81 ,OOO,OO of your "damnable
wealth" to secure the legislature, and
thus buy your way back to the United
States Senate. If you can buy the peo.
pie OF Ohio for 81, ,OOO, 900, you get them
cheap. It's good bargain; splendid
investment clinch it. Don't let it get
away from you, one million dollars,
that is about 25 cents for each man,
woman and child. That is $1.1O for each
voter. After making $5,000,O00 out of
the sugar trust, think you could afford
to make it an even So for each voter in
the State. That would only be 81 SOC, 900
You have made the iss1e in this cam.
paign. It is Brice and Doodle. There
Is no other. The talk about tariffs and
financial questions is blowing thistle
down. Is the State of Ohio for sale and
can Brice buy it? is the only question.
You have very shrewdly put Mr.. Camp.
bell upon your coach to act as your
footman to do the driving. A great
many Republicans are throwing stones
at him while you lean back and laugh.
This is just what you want. You can't
stand free. You dare not stand up in
the carriage as the procession passes.
You are too vulnerable.
1t is the duty of every citizen in Ohio
to turn his attention to you and your
record. Campbell is not worth mention.
He is a cipher in this contest! No honest
man would rest under the charges made
by Allen o. Myers against Calvin s.
Brice in his book "Bosses and Doodle in
Ohio Politics." Mr.. Brice, by his silence,
pleads guilty to these charges, and if he
is guilty some steps should be taken to
bring Calvin s. Brice to the bar for his
brazen and outrageous violations of law
and decency. When Calvin 8. Brice
says he was attending the Vallandigham
convention, at Columbus, in 1858, Gen.
Durbin Ward said: "We are in the face
of the enemy, and cannot quit the field
