The Administration Rebuk ed.

The Administration Rebuked.
There never has been all admins
tration of any President which has
been so unanimously condemned by
the voters of his own party as has
that CT Grover Cleveland. Contrary
to the rule he laid down during his
first administration, not to allow his
his appointees to engage in partisan
campaign work, he has sent his cabi-
net into their home States to ust
every effort known to the politician t.
secure an endorsement OF his policy.
One by one these States have spoken.
First came Alabama, then Nebraska.
Kentucky, West Virginia and now
Georgia. Neither Herbert, Morton.
Carlisle, Wilson or Smith could carry
the load Mr.. Cleveland had placed
upon their shoulders. The whole
country is tired of Cleveland and we
do not believe that he could get ma
jority of votes for any Office in the gift
OF the people in any county in the
entire West or South.
Carlisle, when he went into Cleve-
lands cabinet, was the idol of the peo-
pie of Kentucky. The other day his
name was hissed in the convention OF
his State.
Wilson, Smith and Herbert were
each exceedingly popular men in their
States, but they have each lost their
influence and have failed to accomp-
lish anything by their speeches for
the single gold standard. They risked
all to do the bidding OF Mr.. Cleveland,
and they have lost all.
Georgia on the 9th inst. elected dele.

Secretary Smiths ward in Atlanta
went for free silver.
The State OF Georgia is like all the
rest of the Southern States-for free
silver at the 16 to ratio. The whole
line of agricultural States will be for
the white metal. From the Gulf OF
Mexico one may travel to San Fran.
cisco, on the Pacific ocean, without
once getting outside of State that
will vote against the single gold
standard. Covering this vast stretch
of territory there are fully 100000
idle people. Thousands of these have
tramped from one side of the CONT
neut to the other, and every town and
hamlet has heard their complaint of
the hard times. They have told of
abundant crops, of the cheapness o!
every necessity of life, of the millions
of money stored in plethoric heaps at
every money center, and yet work no.
where to be found in all this expanse
of thousands OF miles. What wonder
that the people are in earnest? What
wonder that gold-bug papers, rich
bankers, corporation lawyers, rich bu-
siness men, and all the influence OF
the federal administration has failed
to make the people believe that a
monetary system that has produced
such results is for the welfare OF the
country? We are told that the adop-
tion of free coinage will produce a
panic. The people believe that q
much longer continuance of the sin.
gle gold standard will produce a
bloody revolution. II worse poverty
comes of the deliberate act of the peo-
pie, ii free silver fails to improve the
condition of the people and does not
restore prosperity, the blame will be
with the people. If they continue to
suffer under an act that was forced
upon them without their consent, the
people will blame those who were in.
strumental in bringing about the de-
struction of their favorite money, and
in their desperation, hunger and want
they will be driven to seek relief with
force.
We believe in all seriousness and
honesty that it is we'll for the peace
and safety of the money power that
the ballot will gain victory that shall
bring about change. With the con-
tinuance of the idle millions around
us there is danger to the good order of
our government. Idleness and want
breeds anarchy.
We believe that the result of the
Presidential election will be the VIC
tory of the people, and that that VIC
tory will restore peace and prosperity
and prevent bloodshed in it's most
horrible form.
The singular punishment of big
amy in Hungary is to compel the
man to live together with both wives
in one house. Something OF the ter
rors of the situation is indicated by
the fact that number OF Hungarian
bigamists have petitioned the govern
ment to have their sentences changed
to fourteen years penal servitude.

will hear people frequently say, as if
the complaint was hopelessly incurable.
