CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY. JULY S, 1900.
JUDGED RY REPUBLICANS.

It is we'll enough to leave the charac-
terization of the Philadelphia platform to
the repnbicans themselves. Here are
some sample expressions from members
of the "grand old party" who can see
through the grand old policy OF buncombe
and Doodle. Acknowledgement Monnett
of Ohio (republican) said at Columbus,
Ohio, Thursday night:
owe are long on platform, but | tear
the people in Ohio will recognize we are
short on performance. Seven hundred
trusts have come into existence practical
" within the last four years.
"With an Encouragement from New
Jersey, the mother OF trusts, one OF the
leading members of the cabinet ard the
minister TO the court OF st. James under
the present administration the hired adj.
yocute Of the Standard Oil trust, with
reputed salary and fee from this economic
tapeworm that would rival the combined
salaries of the governors OF the forty-iive
states; with the charge that we have
seventv-:ix United States district attor'
news, al maintained at the expense Of
the taxpayers in these four Yeas, not a
single new case has been begun against
t..aia ilnt lns nn,na nnIa" my nhsnrva-
ton, save and except the noble fight OF
Col. Bundy OF the Cincinnati district who
undertook to indict a few coal barons
and make an example OF them.
''TIc received Geographic orders at once
from the Encouragement OF the United
States, as was informed, to desist, ard
his honor, the Encouragement of the
United States, was informed that the
evidence had gone to the grand jury and
beyond the district attorneys control.
1--WE should have put plank in our
platform to be consistent with our acts,
both in Ohio and the United States, in
view OF our record in winking at COM
bines and conspiracies against trade and
condoning the unlawfulness OF their
greed and theft. But, then, platforms do
not rise higher than our record has been
on these economic questions.
Gen. John Beatty, of Ohio, a veteran
soldier, republican leader and president
OF one Of the leading banks OF Columbus,
when asked what he thought OF the re.
publican platform, said
II think that it is made up Of lot Of
bald assumptions, sprinkling Of hypoc-
risy and good many falsehoods. The
wonderful thing about the Philadelphia
convention is that Mark Hanna seems to
be it's dictator. l see by the headlines in
a morning paper that the convention
could not make nomination for the
vice-presidency because Mark Hanna had
not made up his mind who should be
selected. Now, in fact, danna is an
illiterate ass, a political blunderer. He
simply gets what he buys, rather than
what the manufacturer buys Of him.
"The platform declaration as to the
foreign achievements is lie.
''lf we had an Englishman in John
Hays place he could not and would not
have played more into the hands Of Eng
land. believe that his son was sent to
Pretoria to act as a spy in England's be-
half, and that Macrum lost his position
because he would not serve az a spy.
II hope that the ticket will be defeat
ed. will not vote for the ticket. Nc
Kinley is civil fraud and Roosevelt is a
military fraud, and the ticket deserves to
be beaten. l don't know that shall
vote for the other fellow, for it does not
strike me that I am compelled to choose
even the less Of two evils, but l must in
fairness say that my opinion OF Bryan
grows more and more favorable. He is
