and an Anarchist. From that speech we
quoted paragraph a few days ago. and
OF 1t Mr.. Harvey L. Wilson. secretary
OF the boilers State committee. wrote
as follows to the Richmond Times Of July
10. 1892. from Washington. Mr.. Wilson
then being the regular Washington cor
respondent OF that paper:
Senator Paimer's speech on the rela-
lions OF capital and labor has. as pre-
dicted, created a decided sensation. The
radical nature OF his utterances fairly
took the breath away from some Of the
old-tlme, conservative members OF the
Senate, and for q time they we're TOO be-
wildered 10 express any opinion. They
don't express any row for quotation, for
fear OF laying themselves open 10 the
charge OF discourtesy; but. among them
selves they refer 10 the Illinois war
horse az a labor agitator. Communist
and Socialist. and go so far rs 10 pro-
nounce him an Anarchist. They look
at him over their shoulders while thus
discussing him as in the olden time the
devout were wont TO eye the hereto.

He has nothing to recant He believes
that the. world Is advancing; that new
conditions obtain, and to meet them new
laws must be made. His speech was
not OF hasty preparation. The views II
expressed he has long since possessed;
but. since his entrance 10 the Senate, he
has had no occasion to proclaim them.
He believes they are correct. Whether
they are OF not. one thing is certain-they
have given 20 the grave and reverend
seigniors Of the Senate somethsag new

since the editor OF that paper spoke at
Clifton Forge from the same stage with
an avowed Mckinley advocate. In Its
issue OF Sunday the Times tells us that,
after 1t has accomplished its mission, 1t
will turn and do all that 1t can to prevent
the Republican party from imposing its
"ATROCIOUS DOCTRINES" upon the
country. Yet last week the Sound-Money
League of Richmond, of which the
Times is the mouthpiece, got up public
meeting in the Academy Of Music in this
city for the purpose OF giving our people
an opportunity TO hear speak the McKin-
ley advocate, Mr.. NJ F. ingalls,. just
referred to. Moreover. we notice from
an announcement in the Times that the
SoundMoney League has engaged Mr..
Ingalls-this avowed advocate OF the man
who stands for and represents the
"ATRoCIOUS DOCTRINES" of the Re-
publican party-to make a tour of some
OF the other cities of the State.
In view of this record. are we not JUS
titled in our contention that Grover
Cleveland is in the right camp. and is en-
titled to a high place in the councils and
among the leaders Of the assistant Re-
publicans? Has he not stood tho test OF
boiling Democracy? Did he not write
10 Mr.. Howell that 1t was the duty of
Democrats TO abide by the arbitrament
OF the National Democratic Convention?
