result of the party's present course.
number of his associates have severely
criticised the speech, an extract from
which is given below. 1t makes no dlf'
ference whether Mr. Wanamerker has
really seen the error of his way and re-
formed, or whether he is but working
off some spleen engendered by dlsap'
pointment; whathe says is gospel truth,
and what he predicts is sure to come to
pass-has already come to pass IN
great measure-for "a new political
party has already been born Ill the
alliance of the silver forces during the
late campaign. Among the most point
ed remarks of Mr.. Wanamaker are the
following: 1.-The country, my friends, is
notprosperous. Since the outset OF the
last presidential campaign the party
press and political leaders generally
fixed the November election of 1896 as
the date of the beginning of good times.
A full half of the year has expired since
the will of the Republican party was
declared. Thus far but one of the i'm
portant issues of the campaign is near
ing settlement, and hardly any notice
able improvement of the wretched
times is manifest. The tide will soon
set in strongly against the Republican
party unless the depression of business
is altered. Idleness and want breed a
bitter discomfort, which will never be
over come till there are ample employ
ments.
1.-The foes America has to fear are
not the Sultan of Turkey, nor the in
surgents of Cuba, nor the territory
grasping British, but they are our pa
tent and heart tired people, our
ownusuffering, much promised people
who, betrayed and disheartened. no
longer have faith in their party and will
turn to any leadership that offers
promise of better times, believing that
worse times can never come than those
now existing. It is a terrible thing to
observe public sentiment adrift and un
captained, the people sweeping away
from the affection to the old party.
1.-The young men are growing up in
deterrent to the Republican principle,
with no respect for parties of brok en-
platforms, who used national and state
patronage in payment of election con-
tracts The political religion of the
nation is falling lower and lower under
insults to intelligence, violation of law
and reckless daring of unscrupulous
:, bosses.
There will most assuredly come a
day when there will be a mighty revolt
and resistance, resulting in revolution
that will bring birth to a new political
party. Laws continually dispised and
disregarded. legislation conceived for
blackmailing purposes. speculation by
, public officials in trust and other stocks
while tariffs and other financial bills are
pending, must surely and irrevocably
ALLEVIATE the people from their party
and awaken disposition and despera.
