CLEVELAND, O., Oct. "a.

TO Mr.. CdlUSn S. Brice, Senator by Virtue
of Doodle, and By Right Of Purchase:
Dear Sir-1 have addressed you three
open letters, containing some valuable
suggestions, and making some very ser
ious charges. You have not answered
any of them. l did not expect you
would. You dare not. You are guilty
of all that mas been charged against. you
by fellow Democrat, Hon. Allen o.
Myers, in his work, "Bosses and Doodle
in Ohio Politics." An honest man
would not rest under such charges as he
makes against you for one hour.
But you could not stand still. The
arrows have penetrated your thick and
callous hide and you have begun to bel.
low like some monster that has been hit
and badly hurt. You have chosen your
favored method to make your views
known. You sent for "Gath" and per-
mitted him to send out prepaid and
prepared interview. This appeared in a
recent number of a Cincinnati paper.
In one sentence you tell all you say
eff the Democrats carry the legislature
it will be for me-"
1t is said that "honest confession is
good for the SOUL" but as no one has
ever been able to locate this essential
element in your extraordinary make up,
your confession cannot affect your soul.
You seem to be alarnr- You assert
your ownership of the Democratic party
with a feverish bold -ss that plainly
denotes mental worry. Why are you
alarmed? You have been pouring money
into Ohio for six months. Like Satan in
the good book, your agents have been
going to and fro in Ohio. They have
been fixing conventions, selecting willing
and plant tools as candidates for the
legislature, and through your mysterious
gum shoe agents you are now placing
the money to corrupt the people and
elect your personal tools. They are not
the representatives of the Democratic
party. They are your representatives,
and no honest Democrat is bound to
support single candidate for the legis
ture that has been branded and is ow ned
by you.
eff the Democrats carry the legislature
it will he for me-" What has wrung
this unusual declaration from the blood
less lips of the Doodle sphinx of Wall
street? Why do you proclaim your
ownership of Democratic legislature in
the midst of canvass and at this critical
juncture? Is somebody plowing with
your heifers? Is somebody trying to
SQUAT on your Ohio claim? Is some one
trying to do to you what you did to John
H. Thompson six years ago? A few
weeks ago you rolled into Ohio in your
draw poker car and amazed Ohio's polit
ical world by proclaiming that you were
for Mr.. Campbell for President, and for
this reason you would support him for
Governor and then for President Your
magnanimous declaration may have
amused the ignorant and the unthink
ing, but it has amused and warned the
thoughtful and intelligent, who are
familiar with your purposes and meth
ods. You care nothing about Campbell
He is useful to you just now, but you
are doing nothing to secure his election.
You are looking after Biice! Brice |!
Brice When / was a boy and those
new spring clothes.pins came into vogue,
we used to fasten one on the tail of an
unsusp, citing dog or cat and turn it loose
to scam per and yelp or yowl. That is
what you have done to that patient and
deluded animal, Campbell. He is now
going around the State preaching his
own funeral oration. He will run
thousands of votes behind the legislative
tickets. You have your own secret or.
ganization working to this end. Camp
bell has begun to doubt your honesty
and suspect your sincerity, and SO have
his friends. In the slang of the streets,
"they are onto your game" If he is
beaten and your money can buy Brice,
not a Democratic legislature, Campbell
will be candidate for Senator. Camp.

This is the reason you sent for "Gath,'
and had him say, at will be for me. If!
You have right to claim it. You have
placed the spot cash and made the pur
chase. If the Democrats carry the legis
property, and you, and no other person
will be chosen Senator by right of pur
chase.
