OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
They are Together.

They are Together.
The Dubuque Herald calls upor
the Democrats to get together. The
Democratic party after an exciting
canvass in the states for delegates to
the National Convention ut Chicago,
met and adopted n platform in har-
mony with the teachings of the party
and it's practice from the time of
Thomas Jefferson, to the time OF Gro
yer Cleveland, with practical unan-
inimity. A faction which had im-
bibed more of the spirit of Hamilton
than of Jefferson, united with the re-
publicans, the legitimate descendants
politically of Hamilton, and the
Democratic party has no use or place
for them. They have been honored
beyond their merit in the bestowal of
place and the honors and emolu-
ments of office. They have sought to
degrade labor, making it the slave Of
capital, making manhood inferior to
mammon.
This has been. and is their mission
which is in strict harmony With
Hamilton's idea, and in harmony
with the party to which they allied
themselves in the campaign just
closed. Their doctrines nor their
teachings are democratic, and they
are at home where they have gone,
and there let them remain. They
assume that the money question has
been forever settled by the recent
election. So, in the opinion of the
old fossils in the wing and democrat
ic parties the slavery agitation was
settled in 1851. The campaign of 1862
followed with John p. Hale of New
Hampshire and Geo. w. Julian of
Indiana, representing the continued
agitation of the question which had
been forever laid to rest by the adop-
ton of the fugitive slave law, those
candidates receiving but a few thous.
and votes at the election, but the
agitation continued.until proclama
ton of emancipation set at liberty
the men whose condition had been
forever settled in 1851. And now a
party representing nearly if not half
the popular vote of the country,
largely endowed with the best intel
ligence of the country and possessed of
CHI of re frio ic l.
led upon by the Herald to unite with
those who favor the trusts, combines
and corporations which are leagued
together to deprive the people of the
adequate supply of lawful money re-
quired to prevent them and their
posterity from becoming the mere
hewers of wood and drawers of wa,
ter for the class 10 which it and its
associates in politics have allied
themselves. No, no. Mr. Herald, you
and the seven hundred of Dubuque
who have voluntary gone into the
republican party with you had let
ter remain there, the democratic par
ty can do better without, than witt
any of you. The progress of events
will serve to remove She scales from
the eyes of the class you and your a
sociates have deluded with your fal st
teaching and they will come where
they belong. but the false leaders
who with the brazen falsehoods o
Annanias betrayed them had better
remain where they are. From Gro
yer Cleveland down to the smalles
of his followers who have taken VI
and accepted the financial polio,
adopted by Hugh McCulloch, JOIN
Sherman, and Chas. Foster, the,
have all been in open hostility to tn
teachings and doctrines of the demo
cratic party FROM its organization
down to 1884, Every one of the mel
who deserted the party and were par
ty leaders are opposed to compelling
the millionaires to contribute to til
support of the government whicl
protects them in the possession c
their boarded wealth. The inconi
tax sought to compel this paymen
from them. The votes of the y. Cpl
seem to have been in favor of sue
exemption of that class. Does tn
Herald believe that the voters of TIL
country favor such exemption? Tn
settlement of this matter in the il
terest of justice and right forbids til
millions who voted for Bryan and TIL
enforcement of this just principl
from going out to welcome tie retur
to the democratic fold of those VIII
are in league with boarded wealth u
against the honest tax-paying class.
