Scheme 10 ROD and plumber the millions
in the interest of the few"
In 1894 Mr.. Wisby was candidate for
congress. I supported him and in advo-
eating his nomination said, among
other things:
WHAT PAT SAID BEFORE.
'HOur action at the FL Reno conven-
ton must be considered primarily, from
the standpoint of principle and not from
standpoint of political expediency. If
it can be reasoned out that an endorse
ment means qualification, then OF
course it should not be given
at will be said that the president is
an enemy of silver, and has disregarded
the home-rule plank in the platform.
The Democratic party knew how Mr..
Cleveland stood on the silver question
when it nominated him, and the people
of the United States knew his position
when they voted for him. He stated
how he stood in plain, unequivocal Ian
gauge and the voters acted advisedly.
TheDemocraticp party of the westlargely
favors silver but respectable minority
believe that the president is right, and
that time VIII so prove-that ten years
from now the man who will advocate
the free, independent and unlimited
coinage of silver-or tin or brass or
eawdust, will be a curiosity.
1.-The president has not misled the
people on the silver question, but has
been courag eous, honest and sincere
in all his official acts. The home rule
doctrine has been practically adhered
TO, and think the national administra-
ton IS entitled TO an unqualified en-
dorsement."
The above appears in the Kingfsher
Times under date of June z, 1894.
1 was an applicant for no Office in the
year 1894, nor have / ever been an ap-
plicant for any office either under this
or Mr.. Cleveland's former administra-
ton, and can further say that 1 never
assailed any man VINO was an appli-
cant, nor made any charge or showing
against him, nor caused one to be made
1t is evident, however, that in 1894
was supporting a gigantic scheme to
rob and plumber the millions in the in
terest of the few.
THE STREET ST ANTOINE.
At this point 1t is very evident that
Pat had remembered some of the things
he read in Victor Hugo for he brands
Populism as anarchy run riot by few
simple hints favored with the aroma Of
the blood scent Of the French revolution.
He confines: u
81 am a Democrat and a believer In
sound money and always have been
not, however, because it is advocated by
the president, the attorney general or
Mr. Hoke Smith, have reasoned the
matter out to my own satisfaction and
believe am right.
Il cannot be a Republican-the Re
publican party Is sectional party and
a class party. 1t legislateS for the man.
ufacturer, the soldier, the negro, and
Wall street. 1 do not belong to any of
the class favored by the Republican
party and do not vote its ticket
The Republican party is responsible
for the existence of the Populist party
1t is the Siberia of the Republican
party.
'SThe Republican party is Wall street,
the Democratic party is Wall street and
every other street and the country road;
the PopuliSt party is the Street ST An
tome
II am not a Populist, neither am a
free silver Democrat The war cry of
the Populist and free silver Democrat
IS ''the south and west against the east"
1t occurs to my mind that it would be
wise for the Democratic party before
committing itself to this sentiment to
remember Appomattox."
TWO OF A ROTTEN KIND.
THE so-called Peoples party is rotten
with socialism. The so-called Demo-
cratic party OF Oklahoma (as now
organizedD is rotten with Populism-
when you vote the Populist ticket
you are preparing the way for the man
on horseback
IF the Populist party ever pre-
walls, and it can only prevail through
force, the shadowy horseman will sure
ly appear and he will be accepted, even
by the Popufists, in preference TO the
anarchy which the success OF their
cause will entail
THE feeling which inspires the Popu-
list Of today is the feeling which infiam-
ed the mind OF Mirabeau and nerved the
arm of Danton.
Their leaders today are political loon
oclasts. They change leaders with
each rising of the sun. and the one OF
tomorrow Is invariably more violent
than the one of today.
Their shfboIeth is reform, but they
exclude certain classes from the coun-
Gil Of their party-especially lawyers.
They insist that their party does and
shall consist of farmers, mechanics,
worklngmen, etc. Fhey exclude the
very classes which bring about peaceful
reforms In governmental affairs. The
field, the workshop and the street is the
home Of the revolution
PHYSICIAN AND EXECUTIONER
The difference between the free sill
yer Democrat and the Populist is one
of the degree IN which there is no struc-
tural difference. The mind that can
accept the doctrine OF free silver can
accept the other Venets Of the Populist
faith. The free silver Democrats are
almost invariably in favor of fusion.
cannot understand how any Democrat
can logically or conscien tiously advo-
cate fusion. This country was horse
doctored for twenty-five years and until
death was imminent. 4 regular ply
stefan was called IN and because he has
not effected a cure in a few years some
insist that the horse doctor be recalled
and others are bawling loudly for the
executioner.
professional ethics prevent even con-
sultation between a regular physician
and a horse doctor-reason and sanity
show that there is no common ground
upon which the physician and the exc
cuioner can stand.
The free silver fusion Democrats
dream or success locally ana nationally.
Their theory Is the south and weSs
against the east-Biand at Chicago
