der New Jersey auspices-was nota-
BILE for the absence of real demo
cratic leaders.
Preston (Minn.) National Republi-
can: There is no more odius political
character than Grover Cleveland. He
was raised up by the Belmonts to be-
tray the democratic party into the
custody of the money trust
Harrisburg GID Register: In 1902
Grover Cleveland was elected presi-
dent, and PIG democratic congress
men were elected. Two years later
but 90 democratic congressman were
chosen, all because of Cleveland
betrayal of the people. No wonder
Watlerson says he left the party a
wreck.
Abba Qa.) News: The democratic
party will be true to it's best tradi-
tions when leading fight for the
rights of the people, as against the
trusts and monopolies fostered by
high tariffs, and for the issue and
control of the volume of money by
the people instead of the banks.
Holmes County CO., Farmer; The
cry of the republicans in 1896 and
1900 was that if free silver won ev-
cry commodity and necessity that
the people used would double in
price and that the wages of labor
would be the last thing to advance
Well, free silver didn't win and that
is exactly the condition we have now.
Will some Of our good republican
brethren explain the wherefore of
this condition and show US wherein
the demand regulates the price.
West Unity CO., Defender: There
are democratic newspapers in the
state that are looking for a leader to
guide the party to success. They
claim they do not believe in ''isms,
'fads, and "heresies," but they
wish the party to triumph-they
want it to win at the polls. They
want to win their way. Their way
is to surrender to the money power,
to cater to the trusts, to truckle to a
false national pride which has arbi
trary annexation of territory as a
hobby.
Waynesburg Pa.) Democrat One
Of the tavorite words of those who
betrayed the democratic in 1896 and
1900 is Reconstruction. They !
would have the people forget that the
Kansas City platform was supported
BY more votes than any other ma
.iopal democratic platform in the
history of our country and had it not
been for such boilers as ex- President
Cleveland, victory would have surely
perched upon our banner. The bolt
ing democrats who now want to re-
construct the democratic party are 80
nearly allied to the trust-ridden and
Wall-street- controlled republican
party that it would require micro
scope to discover the difference.
Cleveland sold out himself and his
party to Wall street for something a
little more substantial than 'smess
OF pottage. He got his booty, let
him enjoy it, if he can, in secusion,
but he and those who followed his
lead have also the condemnation of
the democratic masses and it GER
tainly requires "cheek in the super
lative degree to come out before the
public and talk about reconstruct
ing that which they betrayed into
the hands of the enemy. We are
proud Of an "unreconstructed" de-
which would sooner 90
down in defeat ninety and nine times
than to bow the knee to the modern
Baal, the money power. No, we
are not greater than the national
platform and we expect to stand by
it and on it until the democracy of
the nation in convention assembled
shall give us another.
