lie affair in New York was a
gat. ering Of men Of large fortunes
whose wealth has been accumulated
thrclgh the assistance of the various
trus $. which have been fostered by
the agencies which hold the present
Republican party together. The
ban, net spread in Gotham, the head
quarters of the associate trasts and
the stamping ground Of the gold com
bine. was an affair conducted on a
seal of regal magniicenCe, the very
tesr Of everything that money could
buy except brains and political in
tey1 ty, being represented. At this
ban, uet the voice Of Van Wyck, a
gold standard Republican masduerad-
ing S a Democrat. was lifted in mock
alta, k on the trusts of the country

real .es that there was not a single

the Republican party now, as they
wert in 90 ard the entire affair was a
sham from its inception to It's drunken
finish, where a lot of wealthy hogs
guz2'ed champagne at the rate Of
about three quarts to a man and i'm
agin,d that they were laying thv
foundations Of a political dispensation

expressed them in public print. without
first looking up the precedents Of the

who did this are ex-senator Edmunds Of
Vermont and Senator Hoar Of Massachu-
