HERE is some hot Hf from the re
publican Governor of Michigan: "ToI
day all the trusts and monopolies
which have been bleeding the country
have taken refuge under the wing OF
the republican party. because they
fear the democratic party which has
kicked them out. In my own state
the railroads, which have never paid
their Just share IF the taxes, have
been faithful to the republican party
The mouopolists. the franchise grab
her, the lobbyist. are all extreme par
sisans, and when anyone opposes their
scheme they say You are attacking
the party When they elect them :
selves to Office by the force of money.
they sscribe it to the divine interyen
ton of providence in behalf of the ma.
ton and it's honor. The masses of
the Republican party do not want to
stand sponsor for those agencies which
are playing the mischief with the
country 8 welfare any more than the
democrats. We have, however, some
go called leaders in our party who
have more faith in the power of mon
ey than in the pswer of the voting
masses"
