THE MULTI. TI.MILLIoNAIRE AGGRE
CATION.

| CATION.
The aggregation of millionaires in Gen
Algers' private palace car, that have
been making tour of the Northwest
for Mckinley and hard times, having
made no impression, except to damage
the British cause, are now billed for Can
ton and East Liverpool, with a view to
defeat veteran union soldier for con.
gress and elect Wall street advocate
and civilian.
This aggregation, composed of Gen.
Sickles, QUOTED at s2,500,0OO), Gen.
Howard, Gen. Alger (s3, 100000 from the
lumber trust and Corporal Tauner, did no
good for the gold shylocks in any of the
Northwestern States. The veteran sold
iers of Nebraska issued call for Bryan
and free silver, and warned all soldiers
against the aggregation. The veteran
soldiers of Kansas did the same and
whenever the private palace car of the
greedy and disgraced Alger was side.
tracked, votes were made for Bryan.
The worst roast given the merceny gang
was at Minneapolis, by the Press, That
paper showed up Gen. Howard, Slckles
and Alger in their true colors. As to
Corporal Tanner it excused him on the
| urnttnI thof ha ytYng opl pnalnl
the 500 per speech he was getting, with
the commissary and vintage thrown in.
The Corporal Tanner, now in the million
aire aggregation, is the same corporal
that President Harrison made Com
after because Tanner was not willing to
issue pension certificate to a veteran
for less than So per month, while l0O
days men we're getting $l2. Because he
was not willing to issue pensions for the
purposes of political prostitution of the
pension Office he was removed. The
Minneapolis Press shows up Gen. Sickles
in great shape. Sickles is the man who
murdered his wife's paramour and then
afterwards lived with her, and since the
war has received pension of $1,000 per
year and who is now millionaire, made
so by services to corporations and
private tips, and who after being honored
by Tammany, betrayed Tammany and
is now a political prostitute to every
cause he even espoused. Howard also
ranks high in finance and yet manages
to draw S5, 800 pension per year. AIger,
who furnishes the palace car including a
plentiful supply Of old bergundy, made
all his S3,000OOO in the lumber trust,
and the thousands of veteran soldiers in
the Northwest who live in little houses
now mortgaged, who have been robbed
by this trust, did not take kindly to
Alger or the aggregation. A Minneapo.
lis paper called attention to John Sher.
mans book in which Alger is charged
with being a notorious boodler when he
bought 65 colored delegates away from
John Sherman, in the Chicago Republi,
can convention in 1880.
In order to prove that the aggregation
I ofmillionaires made no impression in the
8 Northwest, the Minneapolis Press calls
t attention to the fact that nearly all the
D veteran soldiers in Minnesota are fol-
= Bryan, notably Gen. John p Rea, the
l.. past commander in-chief of the Grand
r Army of the Republic. We note alsC
9 that 400 veteran soldiers, 200 from
r Minneapolis and 200 from st. Paul, wen
. out on special train to meet w. j
y Bryan when he came out of the Dakota
S to speak for Democracy and humanit!
d and free silver in St. Paul.
IS Just why these high pensioned million
aires should be rushed into Canton on
special, so soon after we have heard 81
:. much of the patriotism of the "Rebe
r. yell" from the valley of the Shenandoah
a is food for patriots to digest. 1t look
10 as if the "Rebel yell" is to have al
u antidote.
