OUTDONE by the public records and
cold facts, the Cresset has taken up
its old tactics and resorts to degraded
abuse. 1t says, and has been saying
it for the past few weeks, that the
INDEX is an illegitimate paper run by
"hired tools, mudslingers, liars" ETC.;
that we are employed by a company
and hence are lower than any other
animal creation. These and other
compliments (?) it pays. Suppose we
are employed by company(such is the
case) does that make us the indecent
knaves that the Cresset says we are?
Does that imply that we are not en-.
titled to any respect? No 1t does not.
So far as publishing facts are concern.
ed we are just as free as though we
owned the whole plant. We are here
on Ourown responsibility and NO one
except ourselves is responsible for
what we publish. This talk that some
people are giving out that certain in
dividuals have strings on our noses
and dictate ad libitum is a lie on Its
race; put that Is nothing unusual in a
republican newspaper. The INDEX is
a more legitimate paper than the Ores
set is or probably eyer will be. 1t rep
resents the interests of its country and
has not been guilty OF the character
assassinations that the Oresset has
been engaged In ever since the forma-
ton of the Peoples party. Because it
is reform paper does not say that 1t
can do work for nothing and it only
receives lawful fee for its services
There is nothing illegal or unjust about
it. The Cresset's villification of us
and those who employ us will count
for naught among reasonable people.

BILL Is RIGHT

Slowly people are getting their eyes
open and occasionally q big gun turns
loose and for some reason tells the
truth. Col. Bill Hackney in a
recent letter TO the Cleveland Record
or gave voice to some very pungent
truths and the following extract is very
appropriate. Coming from a rspub-
llcan like Hackney. it will do for re-.
publicans to read and We hope it will
be read prayerfully and intelligentlv.
Bear in mind that this is quoted from
republican authority:
Editor Recorder: The development
OF the financial and industrial legis-
lation OF this country has been under
the control of the republican party
since the war. For more than twenty
years the conditions of the masses have
grown from bad to worse. Every bond
that has been issued by Cleveland's ad-
mlnistratiOn was under republican
laws. while his power to do which
would have been taken from him by
law but for republican votes.
Every trust and combine having for
its object the forcing up of prices and
the forcing down of labor has been
done under republican laws. Every
railway that has been taken from
Americans and turned over to English
holders. and every raise in freight and
reduction of wages of labor has been
done under republican law.
Every laborer that has been confined
in jail without q trial under the order
OF an irresponsible United States judge
was done under a republican law pass.
ed ostenSibly for his protection. Only
few days ago we were informed by q
morning paper in this city that WORK.
lngmen IN drOves were passing from
one manufacturer to another, begging
for labor to earn food for their families
You have shown the fearful condition
of labor IN this city in the sweat shops.
Every day all over this broad land il
heard the voice of contention for place
and pelf among Republican leaders and
newspapers. What has become of that
leadership which has made great the
names of Lincoln, Chase, Seward
Trumbull, Sumner, DoOlittle, Phillips
Beecher, Garrison and the hosts who
have gone with them either out of tina,
party or into the grave? Why quarrel
over who shall have the votes in the
coming national convention from the
south and west when neither Mckinley
Reed, Allison nor any of the Other
Goldbug followers and financial strad.
oilers who walk in the infamous shadow
made by John Sherman can hope to
get an electoral vote from that quarter;
The leadership in evidence BY the
Leaders article is of that character
that has twice overthrow republican.
ism. 1t is the leadership that must
in the end, do it again. McKinleyism
met with its Waterloo In 1892; must II
have its st. Helena before it will learn
wisdom? This is no time for repeating
the follies which brought defeat in the
past.
Are we to continue to issue bonds in
time of peace? Are we to be finally
and toreyer yoked to England's system
OF finance; she creditor and we her
debtor?
These are the vital questions of the
hour to which republican leadership
ought to address itself, and mono of
the names mentioned for president
above will satisfy the maSses.''

IT is one thing to charge an official
with incompetency, but it is quite a
different thing to substantiate such
charge. The &. o. p. organ in this city
has been making the general statement
of pop incompeten0y'' eyer since the
Peoples party was organized but 1t has
not pointed out one single instance and
it never will. Let any man or 'sorgan"
state that any Office held by any Pop
ulist in this county was managed in
competently and we will prove him a
liar by the records. The party that
furnished a county treasurer that got
away with something like $4,000 of
the county's money, ought to forever
keep Its lips sealed about INCOMPETENCE.
We have In mind several republican
ex-otticials, nice men in most respects,
who simply didn't have the ability to
keep records as they should have been
kept, but we don't believe 1t is our
duty to cast the matter up to them be-
cause they probably did the best they
could. We only mention it to show
that the republican party has furnished
incompetent officials instead of the
Populist party. The only case where
the county suffered to great extent
by reason of such incompetency is the
one we have mentioned wherein Bar
Der lost about $4,000. We hope this
will be an end to such eowardly state
ments. If you want to make your bray
Ing an issue, confine your charge to
one or more person or persons and, as
we said before, we will prove that the
truth is not in you.
