senator DaIy,s vinassous Scored

No more asinile production was ever
presented to the New Jersey public than
Senator William D.. Days stupid, ignor-
ant and incendiary plea in defence Of the
anarchist, repudiationist platform adopted
al Chicago and the demagogue and the
land shark who are running upon it.
From the point of view of logic or com
mon sense. Days mouthings would be
too contemplate for notice. They are
only dangerous on account of their APP
peal to the worst passions of the people.
In a commonwealth like ours. the solid
arity Of citizenship is inviolable without
public disaster. Every section of the
community depends on the others, and
every man has to rely on his fellows for
his life, his liberty and the means of en-
1oying both. The man who arrays, or
attempts to array. class against class. is
q traitor and a criminal. n hanging is
too good for him.
This is the burden of Days TRADE. 1t
Is one long frothy howl against the rich
one would think DAILY had not grown rich
himself; God knows how. He talks of
wealth being arrayed against the people,
but we can tell him. and we have proved
in these columns. day by day. that no
such deadly enemy Of the poor man ever
arose in this land as the conspiracy of
mine owners and debtors who are banded
TO rob the toiler of half his wage in order
that they may sell their commodity at
double It's value, on the one hand. or re-
podiase one-half their honest obligations
"a the other.
Senator Daily. with all tnetacility born
Of a long practice in the criminal courts,
attempts to explain away pr palliata the
a~narchastie sessions of the platform
which aim to overthrow the Supreme
Court. to tie the hands of the Government
10 suppress.ng armed instruction. and to
force the country back to a vitiated paper
currency. But the closing talk that win
Sometimes blind 1.-THE eyes of a petty jury
and secure the acquittal of one of Senator
DAYS customary clients Will not white
wash AltgeId or make Tillman clean in
the sight Of the great American public.
From this paper may be seen the sort
Of campaign that DAILY and the corporars
guard who will train with him. propose
10 make In New Jersey. The whole struc-
tire Of society is to be assailed to make
political capital. The passions Of the
poer are TO be excited against. all who
are better endowed with the worlds goods.
The hasest motives are to be ascribed
to those who are battling for nothing but
the salvation Of the government and of
the people from ruin
Well. we welcome the contest. We are
not afraid OF Senator Days buster and
buncombe. He may choose to play the
part Of q tuppenny Mafat or Robcspierre.
But he will find the people he has to deal
with are far Different from the starved
and maddened populace OF Paris. Jersey
men are a cool. hard headed race, who
knew the value Of a dollar better than any
ifdated political humbus who may try by
d~emagogism to boost himself into a
Gpbernatorial nomination. The doctrine
q blood and thunder will not go in this
age Or this country. DAILY will find be-
fore long that his silver orations are very
mush IN the nature Of funeral o~rations
over himself. His fate viii be like that
pf the lnesndiaries whom he IS emulating.
