THE REAL

AAAAl AsA4SAA A01O A10s
The campaign, which is now drawing
to a close, Is in some respects the mos
remarkable in the history Of American
politics. 1t has been characterized by
great vituperation, but other campaigns
have equaled it in that respect.
It has disrupted party lines, but no,
more SO than others have done.
The striking feature OF the campaign,
that which will make 1t memorable In
political history, is the conspicuous
part being played by corporations
Heretofore, they have participated, to
be sure, but under more or less dis.
guise. This time they are showing
their teeth and exercising their power.
All the great trusts, monopolies and
combines are concentrating their in
f%iuence for the election Of Major Nc.
Klnley.
There are thousands of republicans
who would have preferred infinitely to
vote for Mckinley, the protectionist,
but who will hesitate to vote for Nc.
Kinley, the candidate of the corpora
[tions.
There. are thousands OF people who
abhor free trade and who repudiatt
the Altgeldism that turks in the Chi
csgo platform. but who are appalled,
by the encroaching boldness, Of corpor'
ate and monopolistic Influences in STATE
and national legislatiop, and who will
vote for Bryan, not because they recon
ollie themselves to the dangerous ten
denotes Of the Chicago platform. bul
because that the evil in the Chicago
platform is less formidable than the
oligarchic tendencies in the platform
upon which Major Mckinley is stand
ing.
If free coinage or the gold mono
metallic standard were the sole issues,
the course would be very clear as be-
tween the free tradeism and Altgeldism
Of the Chicago platform and the pro
lection platform adopted at St. Louis
but back Of the gold standard is the
ambitious, ~far-reachipg and insidious
hand of the aggregated trusts. the most
dangerous influence IN the republic
and the free silver cause represents Iiot
free silver alone. but the patriotic fer
vor Of q great people, awakened tocon-
seriousness Of the power that threatens,
and aroused to oppose its further en-
croachment.

II d man, sick we'll nigh unto death,
should call In a doctor and that doctor
should after inquiring unto the cause
Of his illness, advise for remedy a con-
tinuauce OF the identical course which
had brought the man to the brink OF
the grave. what would the patient and
his friends think Of the doctor and his
adviceP No doubt they would drive
HIM from the house or pitch him from
the window.
This nation is on the very brink of
ruin. Such utter and abject stagna-
ton Of business throughout the length
and breadth Of the land, was never be-
fore known in II history. Every line
of business is paraly zsd. Not a new
enterprise is attempted. The army Of
the unemployed is enormous. The
price Of money has gone up, and labor
and It's products have gone down.
With the land yielding its increase in
abundance, aud with the price Of pro-
visions lower than ever before known,
hundreds Of thousands are without
food. With our factories burdened
down with unsold products, and with
our stores astonishing the world With
the bargains they offer, millions are In
rags. With a country whose unde-
veloped resources could give employ
ment to the capital Of the world and
the surplus population ofthe globe, we
find capital boarded and no 0 re-
sources developed. All except the
money lenders and coupon clippers are
getting deeper and deeper in debt,
while bankruptcy, national, corporate
and individual, is staring us all In the
face. Such is our dangerous condi-
ton.
What has brought us to this pass?
The single gold standard. 1t has 10.
creased the value of money and de-
creased the value of all other commodi-
ties. Thereby it has killed enterprise,
paralyzed trade, and deprived the la
borer Of employment, sending him
forth a vagabond and a wanderer. 1t
has multiplied trusts, corporations and
syndicates, and thus Slapped the very
foundations of our republican system OF
government.
What is the remedyP A continuance
of the gold standard, say the gold
bugs, and this is all that they have to
propose. We must keep on as we are,
is their cry, and we will enjoy pros
perity such as never before was known.
CharIatans and quacks! Either they
know not what they are talking about,
or under the whip of their masters, led
by Mark Hanna, they are trying to lick
the feet of them that trample upon
them. Common sense says, "Return
To bi metallism,'' and the American
people have the manhood to do so.

A POLITICAL LETTER.
One OF the People Writes the Peo-
PIES Paper from a Hot-Bed
OF Politics.

To the Editor Of The Optic.
SANTA FE, N. M October 28.h =
The Santa Fe populists have held their
county convention and have endorsed
part Of the democratic ticket. The
new men put up are Arthur Boyle, TO-
the council; Francisco Gonzales, for as
sessor; f. q. Buell., for school superin-
tendent, and John I. Forsha, for sheriff.
| The new names are better than those
on the democratic ticket, and had the
democratic leaders that controlled the
convention-W. p. Cunningham,
Judge Langhlin and hisIfriends Suther-
lin, Sol Spiegelberg and others, do
as they agreed to with the populists
Las Vegas, 1t would have been better.
The republican ticket is not q bad
one, but is weak Ia some instances, es-
peclally Spices, for the council, and
Pine, for school superintendent. Mr..
Ferguson, ii is estimated, will carry
the county by 800. The ticket has re.
ceived some money from the demo.
cratic central committee and the Ter
ritorial officials have put up and SO
have the candidates and the dearly be-
loved people are getting ONE of the
spoyn now and will vote accordingly
on November the 3rd.
Saint Catron is up or down the
country, 1t cannot be found out where.
but If be does not pay particular at
tention to old Santa Fe county, and
puts up Doodle galore, she 10 likely to
bury him knee deep under an avalanche
Of votes on the 3rd proximo.
Ex- Governor Prince, who now be-
lieves Mckinley will be elected, has
switched and has gone to Dons Ana
and to Grant counties to make speeches
for the q. D. P. How he can do
that not easily seen,
but il any man can do it in New Mex.
leo, 1t is this self-same Prince, who
sought the populist nomination, worked
tooth and toe nail against Catron, got
paid for making free silver speeches,
and is now letting on that he is work
ing for Catron and does it because he
has arranged with the silver republicans
Of those counties to support him for
governor in case Of McKinley's election.
His speeches in support Of Catron who
runs on a gold platform will be regular
daisies, won't theyP But, then,
Princes record is like Joseph's coat.
one Of many c%olors; one more yellow
spot or one more silver spot, or one
more black spot, matters very little.
He is like the proverbial ostrich,
but is not fooling anybody and as
THE OPTIC said, a few days ago, very
aptly, as are all things that appear in
THE OPTIC, he is a coward and God
hates a coward. He had the opportu-
nifty of his life, this campaign. and had
not the pluck, nor the sense, to grasp
1t, and now figures out how he can
make gold speeches to get a piece Of
republican pie in ase of McKinley's
election.
There is no doubt that, If the free
silver republicans and populists, who
nominated their ticket last night, had
thirty days to make q campaign, they
would raise merry Cain with both Of
the old parties. As it is, they conf
IDENTIFY expect several hundred votes for
their ticket.

ton is called by the New Mexican,
over there, as follows:

SDf~A ~ u 4NtW lutIfCUft
over there, as follows:
Owing to Mr.. Catron's frantic rush
TO catch a train that was not scheduled
to leave for over an hour, he over
looked several important bets. He
forgot to allude even remotely to the
part he played in defeating the APP
proval by congress Of the capitol re-
building and other meritorious Ter
ritorial institutions bonds by attaching
to the bill providing therefor a provi-
sion validating the fraudulent Brice-
Coler railroad bonds against Santa Fe
and Grant counties; forgot to give his
hearers a clew 10 the amount of the
consideration promised him by the
Brice-C oler syndicate for thus attempt
ing to saddle the people OF the counties
named with a crushing and ruinous
burden Of debts pronounced void by
the United States supreme court; for
got TO mention his magnificent and
masterful achievements in securing
tor his son John an appointment as
cadet to Anne polls naval academy and
for his son Charley an appointment as
cadet to West Point, and that, in order
''to catch 'em comin' and goin'" he
caused John to be appointed alternate
for Charley and Charley alternate for
John; forgot TO explain why, when
Charley failed to pass the examination
to enter West Point and .sresigned,''
he filed the vacancy by the appoint
ment of a non resident of the Territory /;
forgot even to speak of the fact that he
passed an anti-prize fight bill, but did
not succeed IN passing his Ubiquitous
bill, providing for holding the next
session OF the next New Mexico legis-
lature in May, emitting the use Of IN
terpreters and translators Of Spanish;
when the farmers are all busy planting.
So it appears that MIR. Catron's
great qualification" speech was really
more remarkable for what it omitted
than for what it contained.

ACCORDING TO the Burlington Hack
eye, the Iowa republican central COM
mittee are the most modest men ever
born on the earth. They claim the
state by 10000 majority. Republican
politicians claim it by $4,000. The
republican state organ goes sthem 2b,-
900 or $4,000 better; while one Judge
Hubbard, of Cedar Rapids, put the
majority at Ia, 900 and thinks it may
90 to $50, 900. What can one think OF
a republican state central committee,
claiming but 0 1000 when 250, 900 ma

can be thought is that the other claim
