HE wanted to know II would go

said, weighed 1000 and not blemish

we got there 1t was four-time winner.
Pretty big horse as ever saw. Well,
we stood there talking and the chap
begun to talk about himself. Come
from over in Butler county. That was
easy, for you know some OF the gol

The way To down the Trusts
is to down the party that fos-
tiers them. 1t is no use to
deceive or be mealy mouthed
about it. Everybody knows
the Republican party is respon-
sible for the formation of the
gigantic Trusts now being
formed in this country. First
is the Protective tariff which
cuts off competition, and then
the destroying of the small
manufacturers by reducing the
cost of manufactured articles
until the small dealers are
forced out of business, then
comes the consolidation of the
big concerns, the dismissal of
thousands of employees, and up
go prices on the product of
the Trusts. A great revolution
is smouldering in this country
and il is even now threatening
to blaze up into a mighty flame
that will sweep the Republican
party into oblivion. Facts are
being brought out before the
Industrial Commission now in
session i'm Washington which
have opened the eyes of the
people and sent thrill of fear
through them. 1t has been
testified to by Havermeyer the
Sugar king that the protective
tariff is responsible for the
Trusts, and Mr.. Dove. of the
Commercial Travellers Nation
al League tells how the forma-
ton of Trusts has already
thrown out of employment s.
900 travelling statesmen and
reduced the wages of $4,000
more. Thousands of men, book
keepers. stenographers and rep
resentatives of otherprofessions
are being thrown out of en-
ployment. Every man who has
TO work for a living farmer,
merchant and mechanic, re-
gardless of his political opinion
is being threatened by this
gigantic. hellish octapus. Sam
uel j. Tilden warned his friends
in '76 thai the time was coming
when aggregated capital would
grind the small manufacturers
and tradesmen under its feet
and roll up its millions. while
the poor got poorer. The time
is here, and the only remedy to
prevent dire disaster is that the
people rise i'm their might and
put party in power that rep
resents the people and not a
favored class.

saRaa Asnfh's thNtHtNs
Now that the Democratic
State Central Committee has
settled upon a date for the State
Convention the Republican
Executive Committee will prob
ably follow suit.
Chairman Wellington may
not call IA meeting until some
time next month: but the lead
ers admit that nomination must
be made not later than some
time in August, as the domi-
nant party cannot afford to
allow the opposition a long lead.
Indeed, Republicans, as well
as Democrats; in the counties
advocate early conventions,
and for the same reasons
namely, to get names on the
registration books and To allow
time for the wearing away of
soreness engendcred by primary
contests. The city politicians.
on the other hand. are opposed
To early conventions. With
the election three months Off
they cannot scare up sufficient
enthusiasm i'm the rank and file.
and they are also handicapped
by the absence of so many
voters, who are out of town
during the heated term. Being
in a minority, however. their
objections cut no figure. the
counties being united on this
point.
IL was only i'm obedience to
the wishes of the leaders that
the Republican State Commit
tee deferred action. Had the
proposition been considered in
open session, and no pressure
exerted, day i'm August would
surely have been chosen. The
fact that a candidate for Gov
ernor had already been deter
mined upon also influenced the
county members.
One of the Democratic can
didates, i'm explaining the ne
cessity for early action, alluded
to this fact, and said that Gov
ernor Lowndes could proceed
atonce with his campaign work,
without awaiting the formal
ratification of convention.
whereas the Democratic candi-
date, whoever he may be, could
not begin touring the State
until after the nominations had
been made. Said he: eff |
should be chosen il is my inten-
ton to tour the State, going
from town to town and from
village to village. | think the
people should have an oppor-
tunity to meet the party nom
inee aud pass Judgment upon
him. They can then form "a
much better estimate of his
qualifications than if they de-
pended upon descriptions by
campaign speakers. Such a
canvass also materially assists
