, Enquirer. Aa" a" o.,
The managers of the Gold Re
| publicans are about to go through
the formality ofmaking a campaign
organization in Ohio. The selec
tion of State Executive Com.
mittee, and especially Il Chairman
thereof, will be pro forma. The
handspring OF the campaign has
been in active operation for long
time, and the comm ittee to be Sc.
lected tomorrow will be a secon-
Diary affair. Still, it must present
some excuse for its existence that
will have outward form.
No doubt it will feel the circula-
ton of documents to be one of its
duties. That is the Irregular thing"
Indeed, next TO the disbursement
Of money, which must be the. chief
feature of a campaign at the head
of which is the aflluent Mr.. Hanna,
the "literary bureau" is always the
most active department at head
quarters. ,15 81. il..l .sts
Now, what sort-of literature will
Judge Nash, upon whose shoulders
will fall the burden of the Chair
manship, offer to the people? What
is there in the literary stock in
trade of the Hanna Mckinley party
that it would be polite or safe to
let out? .. .s.....
VIII there be revamping of the
dooryard speeches Of William Nc
Kinley last year, which discharged
the money question with deceptive,
generalities, and promised the
hired delegations immediate pros.
perity as result OF the success of
the gold party, and an absolute
boom after the inauguration?
Will there be o republication of
McKinley's silver speeches and
votes, with the explanation that he
is obliged to suppress himself on
that matter now owing to the gen.
erosity of Wall street when he was
candidate for President?
Will there be an exploitation of
the fact that the Republican Con-
gress, with the approval of Mark
Hanna and the Republican Presi-
dent, made an enormous increase
in the tax rates without reducing
the extravagant public expenses to
the extent of a dollar?
Will there be another attempt to
fool the people with the dishonest
cry of "honest money!"
Will there be sent out broadcast
an explanation of the true intent
Of the Administration, which is to
destroy the United States notes
commonly called greenbacks, and
put in their place an interest-bear-
ing currency, the issue and volume
of which shall be under the control
of the banks? ...
VIII there be another issue of |
flapdoodle about the farmers and |
workingmen of Ohio, the vast ma
jority of whom are for the free and |
unlimited coinage of silver and |
gold, being Anarchists and debtors
who are trying to get rid of paying
their just dues?
Will the mails again beburdened
with the speeches Of political
mountebanks and hirelings, de-
nouncing more than half of the
people of this country as rascals
and traitors?
Will there be more sneers at the
farmers who are in debt, and who
want, to get out on as easy terms as
a monometallic Administration
guarantees to the speculators,

viii the Presidents message in
favor ofa Currency Commission be
among the documents, and will it
be accompanied by an explanation
as to what the President really
He said there were too
many kinds of currency. Which
kind or kinds does he want abolish
ed?
These are central considerations
in Gold Republican campaign,
and unless reading matter on these
points is sent out Judge Nash's
literary bureau will be n howIing
The favorite subjects should be
picked out, and the printing presses
started on them without mo-
