Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-06-21

Among the fourteen survivors of the
Republican Convention of 1856, all of
whom were invited to attend the PhiIadel-
phia Convention OF 1900, was one Sidney
Edgerton, of Ohio. Mr. Edgerton was one
Of the representa- yes OF Ohio in the Con-
vention of 1856, and has lived in the State
ever since, through the many changes of
men and policies which have occurred
there. He declined the inv itation to the
present Convention, and gave this as his
reason
"The doctrines, policies and plans to be
pursued by the Philadelphia convention
are quite the opposite of those which OBJ
tanned in the convention of 1856 the only
communication between them is that of
place and party name.
This has for its sole work to ratify and
register a political rescript set forth by one
man, haYing for its purpose to perpetuate
in power an administration which has
wholly dIsregarded the interests of the
masses.
Senator Hanna's convention will indorse
policy which has turned its back upon
the last counsel of Washington to his
people, and which is an organized sneer at
the principles for which he fought.
'The convention will countenance pol
icy which denies to 100000 persons
within our exclusive jurisdiction the in
alienable rights which in its earlier day
the Republican party guaranteed.
1T will Vociferously uphold and applaud
the doings of the administration, which
doubling in its own track within space
of sixty days, has broken faith with the
innocent and confding people of Porto
Rico.
1t will approve the work of the admin
istration, which, claiming to have subdued
the Sultanate of Sulu, neverless is in treaty
with the Sultan of Sulu, whereby it guar
antees the integrity Of his dominions and
promises to protect him in maintaining his
slave barracoon and his harem.
'-HoW can 1. if 1 would keep the politi-
cal faith of 1866, attend upon or approve
the work which the Philadelphia conven-
ton of this year has marked out for it and
which it will obsequiously perform.
"At this day the Republican party is at
once the benefactor and beneficiary not in
deed of one trust, but of many trusts,
which liz greater or less degree monopo
iize and withhold from nearly all of
Gods gifts to him, exacting unearned aud
unmerited tribute for their enjoyment, and
usnrping the constitutional power of tax
ing the people.
At the last session Of Congress it passed
law which created a monopoly of the
circulating medium of the people, and for
thus bartering away the rights of the pro-
ducing and earning masses it expects TO be
perpetuated in power.
The Philadelphia convention will loud
~ denOunce trusts-on paper. Its cam
paigu fund will be replenished from their
tolls from the people, and its managers
will guarantee them continuance and i'm
munity."
