Since the campaign opened there
has been many political clubs form
ed over the country but none OF
them We have read about eau lay
over the Wall Street Republican
Club swho, style5 themselves "The
sWalll5Street1a Educational Club.
This club /. Composed of goIdbug
money sharks, and they zw9res or
ganized for the purpose Of buying
up prominent men who they knew
we're for silver and the Democratic
ticket. The method employed was
for each member to select some
prominent man in the doubtful
states-make him an alluring offer
to QUIT his party and work for gold
and the success OF the Republican
party. a.E5
We find in the Fort Wayne, In
diana, Journal, one of these letters
written to Hon. r. c. Bell, of Fort
Wayne, and signed byJ. Francis
Forsythe. It is too long to give in
its entirety, but we will give the
substance, as then the workmen
can see how much the protection
lists" think of them in Wall street.
To start, Mr., Forsythe says there
is too much money now, that the
money men cannot make loans al
10 per cent. and must take s, 9 and
sometimes 3 per cent. and he thinks
if the laborer cannot get his dollar
a dav he should work for 80 cents,
rather than be idle. He tells Judge
Bell "that the common people, the
laboring class, are too well fed al
ready; they should be reduced il
their rations, and not allowed tC
eat meat every day, but be salts
fed on rice and rye btead, that theJ
have too much liberty in running
over the country to picnic parties
and on excursions, that they should
be restricted to the township they
live in, and not allowed toget. 'up

JESSE GRANTS REASONS.
Joined the POpuIists Because He
Wants to BE Senator.


PITTSBURG. Sept. 1.-THE San Diego
(Cal) correspondent of the Dispatch says:
Jesse r. Grant, youngest son of the late
President gave your correspondent to-day
a letter containing the reasons for his re-
cent declaration that he had left the Re
publican party to join the Populists. This
letter is a fac-simile copy of one which
was mailed to-day to Mr. Grants father-in-
law, w. S. Chapman, of San Francisco.
1t is in part as follows:N
Having lately had aspirations to the
United States Senate, / had been In con-
versation with friends and acquaintance
as to what chance / had of success and
what course to pursue to attain that end.
l had been a Republican for years, but
when the matter was brought thus seri-
ously before me, it suddenly came upon
me that / was debarred from the Repub-
lican party by reason of my convictions,
both upon the silver question and the
government ownership of the railroads
platform of the Peoples party came near
est to coinciding with my views as the
wisest course to be pursued by the United
States Senate, took the occasion at a
recent convention of my party to an
nounce my allegiance to its principles
Though it is my intention from now
on to take a more active interest in pol
itcs, l do not see that any Importance at
taches to my action. 1 believe honestly in
free coinage of silver. 1t does not mean
reputation of our debts at home or
ABROAD. we could not pay our QeDlS win
both gold and silver. even if we had it ALL
our mortgages being equal to the enormous
sum of 81, 500, 000, 600. These debts will have
to be paid in produce, and anything that
will raise the value of this will, believe,
benefit all classes.
IF which is not probable the gold bugs
are right in their evil predictions, and our
money is worth only two shllings on the
doIlar-well. we would then have the most
perfect protective tariff We ever had and
the excess of exports over imports would
be so great that the dollar would either go
up or the pound down to the same relative
positions that they now occupy"

COCHRAN AT LoGANsPoRT.
Yhe New York Orator Makes Al short
Speech TO Wori1insInen.


SpeciaI to the Indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPQRT, Ind, Sept. R-Hon. W.
Rourke Cochran passed through this city
this afternoon on his way to Chicago, and
during the ten minutes in which the train
was standing at the Panhandle station he
spoke to a crowd of about a thousand
who had gathered on few minutes no
tice to catch a glimpse of the great DEM
ocratic orator. Mr.. Cochran said, in part:
II take it that the most OF you who are
here are laboring men, that is, you are
men who work for a wage. 1t Is you,
therefore, who are Interested more than
all others in maintaining the purchasing
power of the dollar. If you are farmer
YOU would rather have two apples than
one: YOU would rather nave two peaches,
two hogs two farms than one, and you
would rather be in possession OF two dol
lars than to have out one. The present
silver dollar is equal in purchasing power
to about 700 grains OF silver or almost
double the amount which that dollar con-
tains. If Mr.. Bryan's free-coinage Ideas
are voted into law you will nave reduced
amount equal to the actual value OF the
silver contained in it, or, in other words,
you will have knocked out OF II al
most half it's value. You cannot at
a AFFORD to fall in with the Populistic idea of
cheap dollars, for when you make the DOL
lar cheap you make your labor cheap.
Mr.. Bryan intimates that IN all propapll-
ity the result OF free coinage would be dlsaS-
trous to the workingman and he would pc
compelled to strike to secure an advance in
his wages. A strike is a hateful thlng ana
if we can avoid it by keeping the dollar
we have the two-dollar dollar, as the Pop
uIists are so fond of calling it, would it not
be wise to keep it so, and If there IS any
striking to be done, let the other felIoWs
strike to reduce the price of that dollar?
The train pulled out of the station with
the crowd cheering heartily.

increase of something like fifty millions
every year. and yet, my friends, instead OF
a year in the last two years we have
decrease of about one hundred and fifty
deficit of about two hundred and fifty-five
millions of dollars in the currency of the
country. Now, If Mr.. Sherman did right
IN 1880 in saying that the people needed new
money every year. then, my friends, want
to ask you why it is that the Republican
party in the face of. the constant decrease
in the circulation of money has made no
provision whatever to satisfy the needs of
an increased population. (Applause)
When we talk about these matters our
opponents tell US that we do not under

Republican party make no provision for an
increase of the currency to meet the needs
of the people, but the Republican party has
been silent in regard to the manner in
which this currency has been contracted.
If the Republican party succeeds we have
every reason to believe that the Republican
administration will follow the example set
by previous administrations, and followed
by the Democratic administration, and go
on contracting the currency instead OF in
creasing it. We find the contraction of the
currency shown by the reports of the treas
ury department We find property falling
in value. We find labor out of employ
ment. We find business paralyzed; we ind
that men DO not want 10 invest III property
for fear they will lose: everybody wants
to invest in money, because money is the
only thing that is rising. This, my friends.
is the condition which confronts US. Have
we not a right to look this condition in the
face? We demand of our opponents an
answer to this question: How are You go
ing to provide for the money that the peo-
pie need?'
They propose no plan. Why not? Be
cause the policies of the Republican party
are dominated by Wall street. where they
do not want money plenty. Not only are
their policies dominated by Wall street,
but my friends. they are not willing even
to let Wall street have the final say, be-
cause they make in their platform the dec
laration that we must go across the ocean
to find out what other nations will do.
The Republican platform. written in this
city, and now the creed of that party, eX-
pressly declares that the people OF this
country must maintain a gold standard
how long? Until we get tired of it? Oh,
no; we are tired Of il now. How long must
we maintain it? We must maintain it
until the leading nations of the old world
take pity upon US and let US get rid of the
gold standard. If the gold standard is
wrong, | believe it is. there will be
agitation until get rid of it. If bimetal-
lism is right, as l believe IL Is, there will
be agitation until IL is restored. beg you
