Is MARK HANNA EDITING POPULIsTs
PAPERS?
We referred last week to the "ready-
made editorials" which are being writ
ten at goldbug headquarters and mail
ed out each week from Washington
and Baltimore to certain Populist pa
pers all over the country. These
ready made editorials (Which some
POpulist papers are publishing) are
filed with abuse of Chairman Butler
and Mr.. Bryan, but never q word is
said to warn the people Of the Cleve-
land and Hanna conspiracy to fasten
upon the people the domination and
curse of gold AID monopoly rule. Dur
ing the last week we have received q
number of these editorial proof sheets,
which have been sent to US by papers
receiving them. One middle Of-the-
road paper which had received this
stuff sent it to US saying that ii Mark
Hanna was to be the leader of the mid
ole-Of-the-road element that he was
done with it.
In another column we publish sam
pie Of these ready. made editorials sent
out to PoEulist papers by goldbug
money. This column Of editorial par
agraphs was mailed in an envelope
postmarked at Baltimore, but the stuff
was no doubt prepared in Washington
and we believe at Republican head
quarters.
| We notice that the editor Of the
Hickory Mercury has received some of
these proof sheets. The editor of that
paper who is clear headed and as true
as steel, comments upon the goldbue
scheme as follows:
eve believe that the Populist ad.
vance proofs sent out each week from
Baltimore, are paid for by MARI
Hanna's money" These are sent out
don III 10 fOp tho nn1v pupnos Of sniff
ting the Peoples party and to keep il
to down the Cleveland, Mckinley an(
seems to be the great object hated
The strange thing to US is that some
Southern papers whose editors CLAIM
to be used as willing tools for thi
devilish gold combine.
The California Searchlight and th'
Altruria Plaindealer and a number o
, other Populist papers have also receiv
ed these editorials and seen through
their purpose and authorship. Th,
Plaindealer in its issue of last week i,
an editorial says:
ave are regularly in receipt of pre-
pared editorials claiming to emanat
from POpulists. As the editorials ar
mainly designed to disrupt and destro,
the Peoples Party, we most respect
fully decline their publication. Earl,
in life we contracted the habit of do
ing our own thinking, and are too OIL
to change now. They are called mid
, dle-Of-the-r0ad editorials. and are de
voted to abuse of Chairman Butler an
other leaders. They are most likel
! prepared by an agent Of Mark Hanna
, Not any for US, if you please.
1t is hard to believe that any Popu
: list paper that receives this stuff an
publishes it is honest. There is not
Populist editor in the country bu
what knows the purpose and sourc
: from which this stuff comes as we'll a
: the editor of the Hickory Mercury an
! the editor of the Plaindealer, and 9th
D er true Populist editors who are dc
, nouncing it. Yet, strange to say, ther
: are Populist papers each week pull
fishing just this kind of stuff. Ii
D every Populist watch the papers ths
: fill their columns each week with th
D kind of stuff that Is being sent OF
o from goldbug headquarters. Clip th
t ready made goldbug editorial stuff on
e Of another column of this paper whel
= We publish it and keep it and compal
}, the editorials of certain Populist p.
q pers each week with it. A word to til
a wise is sufficient.
