The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-07-17
THE CAMPAIGN THERE PRO-
PHETIC OF THE RESULTS
EVERYWHERE.
The Cleveland Democrats Will Con-
troll the Nominations, But Will
Not Garry a State in
the Union.
THE FIGHT WILL BE BETWEEN
THE REPUBLICANS AND
THE POPULISTS.
To the Representative:

cratic party: nor for any results there
Kentucky convention is an index of what
is to come in all the other states. Money
was poured out like water and the feder
al officials were there in full force The
object was to compel obedience to the
autocrat and to worship at his shrine.
AS for getting votes to elect their ticket
that did not enter their thoughts. AS
have previously written to you the con-
spiracy had been formed to sacrifice the
state ticket in exchange for Republican
votes in the various legislative districts,
by means of which they hoped to put
Gov McCreary in the senate to strength
en- the other goldbugs. That the ticket
will be beaten is foregone conclusion
that the administration will fail in its
senatorial expectations is equally true.
A goldbug Republican will be elected to
fill the place which 10 Blackburn has
so long and honorably held.
A friend of mine-a lifelong promi
nent Democrat-writes to me on the 9th,
describing the scene at the convention:
"The golbugs stopped at nothing to
accomplish their end. Every man con-
nected with bank or insurance compa
n.y. from the president to the porter-all
the influences under them, the newspa
pers, the federal clerks, etc., were mus
tered into line; and every debtor was
broWbeaten into submission and silence.
The honest sentiment of the state was
stifled by money and the collection of the
leaders of the administration; and thus
they controlled the convention; and con-
cluded the farce by placing at the head
of the ticket an avowed silver advocate
He will be beaten out of sight and I shall
shed no tears over the defeat. The gam
-blers among them will not bet a dollar
on the success thereof. l believe Brad
ley will have walkover and will win
by anywhere from 10000 to 10000 votes"
The Kentucky episode is lesson,
which desire through you to call mark
ed attention to. The scheme was con-
cocted in New York and Washington by
the cuckoos and magnates of the Cleve-
land oligarchy The order was given
that all Democratic conventions were to
fore the autocrat at all hazards and at
any cost. The silly idea has penetrated
their skulls that the machine will compel
the following of the multitudes no mat
ter how grossly unprincipled may be it's
measures; and that just as in past years
the masses will slavishly follow what
ever candidate receives the regular nom
nation. The sad truth is that millions
will do that very thing
On June "a the Commercial and Finan-
cial Chronicle in New York boldly and
openly announced the program agreed
upon. There could not be a more fla
gravity criminal and outrageous decla-
ration.
''rThe seats of several United States
senators are being contested in the
South, that might possibly be gained for
advocates of stable currency BY A
LITTLE JUDICIOUS ASSISTANCE ON
THE PART OF THE NORTH. We
cannot vote there, but we CAN SEND
MONEY BY MEANS OF WHICH THE
WORK OF EDUCATING THE PEG
PIE COULD BE CONTINUED
THE QUESTION WE WANT TO ASK
IS, WHY SHOULD NOT THE SOUND
MONEY CANDIDATE IN EACH STATE
THE ONE WHO APPEARS TO OF
FER THE BEST PROMISE OF Sue
CESS, BE FURNISHED WITH THE
MEANS FOR CONDUCTING HIS CAN
VASS? This action is made more I'M
PERATIVE. because there is a LACK
OF CAPITAL in the South, and because
the silver mine owners always have an
abundance of funds for those who are
willing to follow their beck and call
Hence the occasion would seem to de-
mand DECIDED AND LIBERAL AC-
TlON OF THE KIND WE HAVE SUG-
CESTED. If the present highly FA-
VORABLE OPPORTUNITY be permit
ted to pass without being FULLY I'M
PROVED, the country may have cause
for lasting regret. WHAT WE ADVO-
CATE IS A THOROUGHLY ORGANIZ-
ED MOVEMENT-NOT TO TALK, not
to write letters, not to prepare sound
money plans, for every editorial table
groans under that kind of literature
but TO INDUCE EVERY MAN TO PUT
HIS HAND INTO HIS POCKET, AND
GIVE WHAT HE is WILLING TO
GIVE TO DEFEAT ONCE AND FOR
EVER THESE ENEMIES TO CONNER
CIAL PROSPERITY. PERHAPS THE
PLAN CAN BE BEST EXECUTED
THROUGH THE CHAMBER OF CON-

The unblushing cheek Of this is that
the silver miners are so prosperous. with
every silver mine but two or three shut
down. ard million miners unemployed
and their families in want! But il is
still true that the people are poor ana
needy and bribery and corrup
tion has the greater chance of success.
The administration gang has been stead
lily caring for the machinery, by getting
its adherents in power as chairmen of
state committees and also Of the national
committee. Of which last they have %
members. Thus they are able to check
off any movement hostile to the cuckoos.
Patronage-the Washington King claim
ing all the positions paid for by the citi
zens, as his exclusive property, to be
disposed of only to his loyal servants
Each state convention is to be encom-
passed just as Kentucky has been done,
and the attempt is to be made to destroy
every Senator who has refused to bow the
knee to BAAL. l wrote to Voorhees, to-
day, that he and Turpie would receive the
full power of the administration against
them in Indiana, whenever the opportun-
ity was offered. Though the autocrat and
his followers do not forsee the inevitable
RESULT will come nevertheless by the
utter disruption of the Democratic party
everywhere. The administration
tickets wherever nominated in northern
states will be beaten by overwhelming
majorities-and not one from the Atlantic
to the Pacific will win. The only pos
sible chance of Republican defeat can
come from some combination, not yet
formed of all the elements alike onnosnd
