! The Peoples Party alone, declares,
IN its platform, that those who live in
such kingly magnificence, ought and
should pay to the government an in
come tax in order to lessen the tax
burdens OF the people. The Demo-
cratic party being in power, and fear
ing the growing sentiment Of the
voters OF the land, passed an income
tax law, which. while far short Of
what it should have been to eaualize
taxation, was nullifled by Democratic
Judges.
/ How can this be defended?
9Th. Why has this administration
failed to prosecute the Trusts which
are sapping the life blood of the Re-
public, and which the Democratic
party was pledged to annihilate?
9TH. A new York Democratic daily de-
clared not long since, that "when Dem
Ocratic speakers were telling the peO-
pie in 1892, that the Pension System
was costing the people, after thirty
years OF peace, as much per annum as
1t required to support every standing
army in EurOpe-prOmising that the
Democratic party would reduce it to q
just and honorable basis-there were
1000 pensioners. Now, more than
two years after the Democratic party
came into power, there are more than
a million on the rolls"
What has this Democratic admin
istrationdone to mitigate and to cor
rect the infamous Pension robbery so
bitterly and so justly denounced by
the representatives of the party?
9Th. (a) Why are forty per cent
of the Republican officehOlders still
in office, to the exclusion of those
who have worked all their lives for
the Democratic party, and, the ascend
ancy OF It's principles!
(b) Why are fifteen Republican Con-
suls still in Office two years and half
after the Inauguration Of Democratic
President?
to- Is it true that Republican Sena-
tors have used their influence with q
Democratic President to retain said
COnsuls?
(d) Has the negro Postmaster at
Fayetteville been turned out?
(e) Why did the Democratic Senate
confirm::the appointments Of the four ne
gro United States Consuls appointed
by Grover Cleveland? Didn't Ran
som vote for their confirmation? Has
he denied it? Was he afraid the Pres
ldent would refuse to let him control
the patronage of this State unless he
supported his appointments and pol
