BLAINE AND OTHER "CRANKs." ,

Editor Representative:
AS you can readily command the !nfor-
nation. ] wish you would publish In your
paper a general list Of the names OF the
most distinguished "lunatics," "chumps"
and idiots in Europe and America who
are bimetallists, and who favor giving to
gold and silver equal recognition at the
minis Of the world.
It might be we'll to embrace IN this list
the names of apostates and traitors who
have sold out to Lombard and Wall
streets-of men who once advocated the
claims of silver to the fullest recognition,
but have since not only eaten their words,
but deliberately deny their own official rec
ord. John G. Carlisle and Hoke Smith,
two Of the Buffalo Bison's cabinet civil
service reformers, might be named in this
connection.
In addition permit me to suggest that
YOU omit the name of the late Republican
chieftain, the late James G. Blaine. The
Republican followers who blubbered over
the defeat of Mr.. Blaine In 1892 in the ma
t.onal convention held in this city, having
his views on silver coinage brought to mind
might have a relapse OF the blubber cpl
demic which ragged with such violence on
the occasion named. A proper regard for
the feelings of our late Blaine yelpers, is
to be commended Burdened with sorrow,
they should not be disturbed in their med
itat:ons over Mr. Blaine's declarations that
gold and silver is the money of the const:-
tution-of the American people, and if
silver has been demonetized am in favor
of remonetizing it"
With these weeping philosophers Of the
late Blaine school, no one should seek to
add to their sorrows or to cast breath of
suspicion upon their political integrity.

TOMS CALAMITY HOWL.

Editor Representative:
l am sorry for our good and genial
friend, the street railway magnate,-his
condition is deplorable OF course, you
have seen his deep distress, as published in
in our da:lys, over the fact that the silver
lunacy has closed the purses of Wall street
money loaners. Thomas cannot borrow
money down there, or sell reserved bonds
of his tramways. Perhaps he would have
been just as we'll of If it had always been
so.
1 gather from Mr.. Lowry's recent wall,
that he has changed his mind about the
silver craze having died out,-as he told
us few weeks since after his return from
Europe and Wall street. His friend Clews
of the gold fraternity, who issues his finan-
Cal bulls with great JUNCTION, is alarmed
too. There seems to be general distress all
round.
l wish, Mr.. Editor, we had some legal
means of torture to compel some men to
speak their honest sentiments There is
not business man in this city who does
not know that If Messrs. Lowry and Hill
were out Of the grip of Wall street and
Boston gold bugs they would champion the
white metal. Their INTERESTINGLY or to-

is too patent for discussion.

bugs sink mine rise.

me today that Ohio would range herself on

termined way, and push the fight for the
reforms enunciated in the Peoples Party
platform; even if it should take US four
years more of privation and suffering to
accomplish the end in view. One twentieth
of all the wealth in the United States is
owned by English capitalists, and it is in
tries, and in some of the great daily papers
Of our large cities; and it is through the
press that foreign bankers and syndicates
in conjunction with their friends in Wall

trived to betray our country into the hands
OF the enemy of American producers for the

their money, have always been thrown
around 1t by that class of citizens; but 1t is

We are almost sure that a financial policy,
for which the British house Of Lords would
vote as a unit. is not for the interest of the
American people, neither should our gov
eminent uphold that policy: because 1t is
not in line with the constitution, and it is
detrimental to American industries.
With the experience that farmers and la
borers have had with the British gold
standard. and John Sherman's charitable
inclination toward the American people, we
cannot fail to see the Just cause OF the
People party.

and our homes, and We will succeed.

A SILVER SONG.

That Mr. Henry Slade Golf is essentially
a poet has been manifested by his recent
productions appearing in the Representa-
tive and other papers. His latest Is song
which will aid the silver forces OF these
great United States to victory next fall.
1t was first published in the National Bi-
metallist, and will be used by the pub
fishers Of that paper in a campaign song
book for use during the coming campaign.
The instructions which go with the song
are that it is to the tune of Marching
Through Georgia." and ''in the fourth line
of chorus repeat music Of third line" The
title is 'In a Land Bordered Easterly by
Georgia. The words are as follows:
There's a gathering of hosts again on Old
Columbia's SOIL
There's a rallying Of the armies Of the
sturdy sons OF toll,
There's a forming of the forces from
which foemen shall recoil,
From Pacific to the further coast OF
Georgia.
CHORUS:
Hurrah! Hurrah! Well sound the jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah! Our silver shall be free,
And the dollar Of our daddies shall be as
it used to be
Before the crime Of Congress in the year
In the land bordered easterly by Georgia.
There's a conflict with Old England. boys,
again on Western shores,
There's a battle with the nation that our
fathers fought of yore.
And we'll sweep her and her Tories as our
fathers did before
OF the land bordered easterly by Geor-
gia.
Chorus-Hurrah! Hurrah, etc.
The men of Old Columbia for century
have been free,
The basis of their conduct is to do as they
agree
But they will not be remanded to state
of slavery

the Peoples Party will be an important
factor in the same, but also shows to the
clear observer of political affairs that the
Peoples Party is not only growing rapid
ly in strength, but that it will yet re-
deem the nation from the clutches of the
English gold ring in spite of the in
famous treachery and duplicity of the
two old parties for the last 20 years.

riculture was the fact that the house was
willing to pass it. He called attention to
the fact that the present house had not
passed single bill in the interest of the
people, but had killed every one that
had even looked in that direction.
CONTEMPT OF COURT BILL.
Senator Hill reported several weeks
since from the committee on judiciary a
bill containing two classes of contempt
cases. He is now trying to get this bill
to vote. The bill denies to the accused
the right of trial by jury, even in cases
of indirect contempt similar to the Debs
case. Senator Allen and Senator But
Ter have both offered amendments to lis
bill providing for trial by jury. When
the bill comes up the discussion and fight
on the same will be interesting to the
whole country.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE POPULIST
VICTORY IN OREGON.
The news from Oregon, showing that
the Peoples Party had elected two con-
gressmen in Oregon Chat is, every con-
gresham in the state) at the election last
week, has greatly surprised the politi-
clans of both old parties here. The fact
that it was straight fight between both
the Democratic and Republican candi-
dates, adds to the chagrin and disap-
pointment of the gold men and the old
party leaders. The result, however. was
confidently expected by the Peoples Par
ty senator's and congressman, who have
been greatly interested in the fight in
Oregon, and have kept close in touch
with the progress and details of the great
campaign that has been waged there for
the last few months. and which has re-
suited in such triumphant victory for
the Peoples Party. This is more than a
straw which shows the way that the polit-
ical wind is blowing. At least, it is a
good starter for the great national cam
paign this year, and shows not only that
