who is always looking out for his
party's interest, informed the judge
that the persons he had selected were
totally unfit for the position, and then
Mr.. France continued that he knew
of but one man who was capable of

Walter Raley.

his father has been lifelong Demo

there have been in any year, or any
four years since.
When General Grosvenor assumes
that the four years under Mckinley
have been unprecedently prosperous,
he does so without warrant of fact.
The people of the country generally
have not been more than ordinarily
successful. The only great success
achieved has been by the trusts and
combines. Under the high tariff these
have been enabled to make corner
ON the manufactured products Of the
country and rob the American con.
sumer as he was never robbed before.
Nail mills have declared semi.annual
dividends on their capital stock of $50
per cent, other protected and cornered
industries have paio dividends varying
from % per cent to 200 per cent. The
stockholders and manipulators Of these
concerns have prospcred, bat the
bulk Of what they have gained has
been lost by the great body of peo-
pie. Mckinley prosperity, so.callcd, is
n sham. 1t empties the pockets Of the
many aud fills the pockets of tho few.
II controls the home market, and after
supplying it at prices from so to 100
per cent higher than its products arc
worth, sends any surplus it may have
abroad to be sold there for whatever
it may bring As the result of all
this American nails, railway bars,
woolen gods, etc, cano be bought in
Europe at lower prices than in Amer
lea. This may be good thing for the
combines and for foreigners, but it Is
not at all likely to contribute to the
prosperity Of the American consumer.
The old Republican party insisted up
on equal opportunities for all. The
Mckinley party plays into the hands
of trusts and combines at home and
bullies weak and dcfcnseless people
abroad. In short, 1t robs Americans
and slaughtcrs Filipinos aud then
shouts prosperity to divert attention
from its misdceds. 4s

II Is not difficult TO account for the

GEN. BEATTY,
Columbus Republican, Replies to Gen. Grosvenor-Party
No Longer Insists Upon Equal Opportunities For All.

In the July number of the North
American Review, General Charles
Henry Grosyenor adds somewhat TO
the luster Of his reputation as a crimi.
nal lawyer by lengthy defense of
Mckinley's Administration. He starts
out by affirming that the so-callcd Re.
publican party needs no defense and
then proceeds TO defend it. The fact
is General Grosvenor knows very well
what only the Republican blockhead
has failed to discover namely, that
Mckinley, Roosevelt, llama and their
Confederates, have abandoned every
thing the old Republican party ever
adhered TO except the name, and that
they are now doing a fraudulent busi-
ness under a stolen trade mark. Cen
eral Grosvenor asks "What was it that
precipitated this country from the high
pinnacle of the commercial, industrial
and financial prosperity of 1892 down
into the pit in which we wallowcd for
four years."
1t was the so.called Sherman law of
