BuRo wv INFERMAsnUN,
WASHINGTON, ID. G.
Tu Mr.. Aguinaldo, hoo IL sumwhare In
the Fillipcen Islands:
Mi great and Good Friend (this is the
wa Grover Cleveland told me tn address
furriners hoo didn't feel right towards
us): talk mi pen in hand tn let yu kno
thet l am ez well as Good be expected bi
wun hoo hcz undertaken thundcrin big
job thct aint likely tn pan out very well,
and hope these ~ lines will find w the
saim. I am Dimcrat frum the Stait
NV Moo Gersey hoo lives at Applejack
Farm, in said Stait, wen l aint ava
frum home. and l hev been selected ez a
perambooatn misshunary fer the pur-
puse NV helpin to reorganize the Dimi-
cratic party for the campane Nv next
year, and tn try tn put 1t in condishun tn
make n respectable fite. l hev found out
alreddy thet thare IL plenty NV fite left
in the old party, but it IL mostly between
the different facshuns Nv it, and bi the
time these quarrels IL settled it don't look
ez tho we wood hcv much fite left tn run
a four months campane agn the Repub-
likins.
l hope yu know enuff NV the general
run NV Amcrikin pollitix tn understand
the tite fix we air in, and how important
it IL thct yu shood du sumthin tn help us.
| feel thet kin confide in yu cnuff to sa
thct we air short Nv winnin issoos fer
the CRATE campnnc NV 1900. The tariff
issoo frum which we expected so much,
hcz bin a boomerang wich hez nockt the
stutin out Nv us frum wun end Nv the
kountry tn the uthcr. We expected the
custom house revenOos tn fall off doorin
the last fiscal ycer, and tha hev increast
more than tiftysix milyun dollars. We
he'd expected thet the people wood kick
agin payin cent on kilograms, 2 cents
on bank checks, and an increased tax on
beer, whisky, cigars, tobacco and uther
Dimicratic nccessaries, but tina hev cum
up without grumblin and made the in
fernal revenOo returns foot up tn total
of more than u hundred millyqns doorin
the yeer The free silver issoo liz in the
hands Nv the undertaken, and the one we
mir hopn tn raise agin the Trusts IL
hevn the wind taken out Nv it bi the dis
kovery thet all the Trust companies, ev-
erywhare, air full of Dimicrats. Upon
none NV these issoos kin we reezonably
hope tn maik a wnnin tite. The people
air tn intelligent not tn see thru our lit
tie game. Thct iz wun trubble we hev
in this kountry-we air all the time run
min up agn people hoo kno tn much.
With yu it iz different. Yu don't hev no
intelligence worth mcnshunin tn buck
aginst, and whutcver yu sa goes among
yure followers. | wood it We're possible
tn hev yu cum over til this kountry and
y
air wun NV us in hart and acshun, and /
trust the da will cum wen yu kin cable
us an inquiry consernin whut Dimicratic
| majority we want returned on the mite
Nv the elecshun.
Wen this croocl war iZ over, if yu find
yuresef unpunctured, cum over, and we
will find sum place WHARF yure talent fer
akkumulatin munney, and gittin nwa
with it, kin hev full swing. At present
we hev beeleef thet yu kin be Nv servis
tu u.s. Yu air smart and eloosiv little
cuss; and IL yu kin keep out Nv the wa Nv
our soljers fer n fu months longer, we
expeck tn profit bi it, politically speekin.
We air givin WI n CRATE send off in this
kountry, and the Dimcrats air holdin off
vile the Republican Fillipeenoze frum
Massachusetts air enterin yu in the
same class with George Washington. We
shall fall in with EN-, and tugether we
shall tell the people NV the Yoonited
Stats that yu air the CRATE exponent Nv
konstitooshunal liberty, in the Fillipeens;
and thet Freedom will git it in the neck
fggeratively speekin-if anything hap
pens tn yu. Senator Hoar will gladly
take the stump fer yu and Edward AT.
kinson kin fgger out tn the fracshun Nv
n cent how mutch better it will be fer us
tn support yu than tn stand bi our own
race and back up our soljers hoo air car
ryin the Amerikin flag intu yure hot and
unhethy kountry.
We hev alreddy sot sum bak fires in
various places. We hev secoored the
services NV sum college professors, and
sum third rate preachers, and sum old
maids tn hold konvenshuns, or confer
ences ez tina call EN-, in sum Nv our cities
tn make speeches, fire off prayers and
shed sum teers and pass resolooshuns in
yure behalf. Tha hev kickt up quite a
rumpus konsiderin the weight NV ma
terial, and hev sot yu up ez a crate man
hoo IL leeding hiz people thro fire and
blud, and insects, tn victory and inde-
pendence. Tha hev abused the Presi-
dent, and Dewey, and our generals hoo
hey made it unpleasant fer yu and hey
stigmatiZed our soljers ez murderers.
This will be gratifyin nooze tn yu, and
1t will put more nerve intu yu tn repel
the invaders Nv yure jungles.
In konclooshun, let me asshoor yu thet
yu don't kno how much We air dependiu
