MARX HIM.

The Kilkenny cat business in the
democratic party in Ohio is Han
mas game. If you, who are free
silver man, find a man who pre-
tends to be for free silver talking
against or disparaging any other
free silver man, brand him as a
traitor, advertise him and destroy
his influence. Nothing can beat
the cause in Ohio but pretended
friends critieising those who are 60
ing to vote in opposition to Hanna,
Pierpont Morgan & Co. Any man
who will not vote for Pierpont
Morgan's plan to rob the people by
the single gold standard is all right
in the Ohio campaign, provided he
turns his guns on the enemy, and
neither criticises nor damns with
faint praise any man who is in fav-
or of the principles laid down in the
Chicago platform and reaffirtned by
the democratic convention Of Ohio.
Let every man who wants relief for
the people fight Pierpont Morgan,
Hanna & Co.'S goldbug scheme,
and victory is sure. If Hanna &
Co. cannot divide the forces of free
silver, they cannot conquer. Han
ma & Co. cannot divide us unless
they can find persons who will pre-
tend to be against them, yet who
will work for them by criticising
and disparaging their co-workers.
Be on your guard. Let every man
fight with his face to the enemy and
never, under any circumstances,
turn on your friends in this cam
paign.-S. K. w.
