A Wall bxoet Game - Ksep the Fra
Csinags Han Divided.
Ex-Congressman Watson Of Geor-
eia, who left the democratic party
because of its obsequious submits
sion to the will Of the gold trust,
expresses bis opinion Of those pre-
tended friends Of silver who adhere
to the old parties in the following
comments, which appeared in late
issue Of his paper. The "silver re-
publicans" and "silver democrats"
should read what be says:
To man up q tree, the actings
and doings Of the Democratic and
Republican free silver leaders are
becoming very suspicious.
A mousey smell begins to per-
fume the atmosphere.
When q Republican free silver
leader advises the free silver Re-
publicans to remain in the party
and to make their fight inside the
party lines, isn't that the kind of
advice the Wall streeter could af-
ford to buy at stiff price?
And when free silver Democratic
leaders advise the free silver Demo-
Gratis to remain in the party lines
could any course of action suit the
Wall streeters better.
Isn't the safest Wall street game
to keep the free silver forces sepa-
rated by cooping some of them up
in the Republican party, some in
the Democratic party and some in
the Peoples party.
The Wall streeters act as one
man. They are absolutely united.
Their plan has the unanimous
sanction of every member of their
oligarchy.
They may detail squad to act
in Democratic convention under
the name of Democrats they may
detail another squad to act in the
Republican convention under the
name of Republicans; but on this
money question Wall street is
neither for one party nor for the
other-it is for Wall street.
Now, when we see lot of howl
ing free silver leaders pretending
to be in favor of the people, but al
ways leading just where Wall street
wants them to lead, doesn't the
thing look fishy?
divide and conquer" has ever
been the motto of tyrants. The
free silver old party headers" are
moving heaven and earth to keep
the people divided on this money
question.
The question is-are they fools
or are they traitors?
Last week another forlorn lot of
Democratic fossils met in Wash
ington City, in Stree silver con-
vention."
God help US! If there's any
thing that's enough to make a buzz
card sick at this latter day, it's a
Democratic or a Republican free
coinage convention!
Never was so sick or tired of any
thing in my life!
This Washington convention was
just like all the others-an infinite
weller of aimless imbecility.
Yes, old man Harris of Tennessee
was there-old man lsham G..
Then there was Senator Jones of
Arkansaw, who was the putative
father of the tariff bill which even
Cleveland was ashamed to sign.
Then there was ex-senator Pat
Walsh of Georgia, who has been
fighting silver for many years, and
who only turns in its favor now
when help of all hands is necessary
to hold the dear old Democratic
humbug together.
And Livingston was there.
We add this statement as the
final and conclusive evidence that
the convention was never intended
to be anything else but sham, q
subterfuge, a snare and fraud.
Else Livingston wouldn't have
been there.
Where is the alliance Demo-
craft"
We wish to know because we
have found man who wants to
sleep, with him.
The free silver Democrat" is hunt
ing around for a place to lodge at,
and if the Alliance Democrat can
be found we must try to arrange
for them to bunk together. They
fit each other like reas in a pod.
And we want Livingston to spread
the blanket, so that neither of
these political twins may snatch
the kiver' from the other.
The "Alliance Democrat" is the
sworn reformer who stands in the
Democratic party because he could
best get relief" inside the party.
The free silver Democrat" is the
same sort of dupe. He doesn't
know it now, but he'll see it later on.
The Alliance Democrat" having
made fatal mistake, is ashamed
to own it; and he now fights it
