Ihe Republican BOSS Terrible Record ii
His Treatment of the workiDgman-
Rules Politics and He Does Labor
Owns tho Republican Party and wouI'
Buy Mckinley Into the White House.
A reporter by tho name of A. II
Lewis, OF the New York journal
gives long sketch Of Hanna, rulel
oltle Republican party, from which
we here give a short extract: .: Dc
YOU believe you can elect Mckinley
Mr HANNAH Mckinley will be
cur next President. II we can'i
elect him one way, we can az.
other. ''
Hanna is rs terrible in politics al
Ia business; he does not care any
more for public rights than
for private rights. With honest and
dishonest means-with tricks and
treason Mark Hanna goes to, war,
aud be will elect his man. 1t is
well that the world should know
these things, and we can be satisfied
with tho black expression that lies
in bis word. Wrong does not al.
ways win. Right is sometime the
winner ard the devil has often been
made to retire.
Mark Hanna is the laborer's
warmest enemy, and for thirty years
he has torn them like wolf. With
open money power this is war be,
tween the rich and the poor; it is
power against suffering flesh and
blood. The question is: Shall the
many continue to labor and suffer
For the fewP Shall their life blood
be- drawn out9 Shall the widows
and orphans homes bo ruined
Shall the nation be robbed by 9
syudicatel Shall the Pharisee sit in
the highest Office in the land? Shal
the money changer live in the tenn
pie! Shall there be, another cruel
lixionP
II the laboring classes neglect tt
take care of their own interest in the
crisis, then they deserve the chains
that are forged for them. If tn,
common American people canno
defend themselves against tn,
enemy Of freedom the freedom in
herited from their fathers viii
their weakness deserve punishment
Shall the institutions founded b,
George Washington and defende,
by Grant, at last be footstools fo
HANNAH The time has now come t,
find out. Mckinley is not the mail
figure in this campaign; Hanna i

White House. Mckinley can per.

tory will not he his. The syndicat,
that prepared him is driving him
they pay his entrance money anC
his stable bills, and will take ant
pocket the price. Make the man o
Canton President, and he will liv,
in the White House as servant for /,

place. He will divide the public OF
fees and do all after Hanna's or

syndicate that has spent millions t.
