ing the people in almost direct language
taaI they can expect nothing from his
party in the way of remedial legislation,
at east not Tor years.
with this IN mind, the people will re-
a1ize that the Democratic aarty is the
party, the only party ready for action
i.ow There is absolutely no ground for
tic Presidents warning that The Demo
cf,atic party would destroy both the trusts
tGat do i'll and the trusts that DO good,
as he terms them, as well as the general
prosperity o2 tie country. Ehe Demo
cratic party VIII be just as careful in
administering its trust medicine as the
Republican party can be. We shall
neither destroy the business interests CT
the country nor injure the wage-earneTs
We are as patriotic as the Republican
party and we are not opposed TO vested
rights or to property as such. We simply
favor of giving very man an equal
chance in the race for life, and wherever
the tariff shelters the trusts. as We knew
it does. we propose to SO modify /. as
to remedy the evil.
The President admits that The removal!
of the tariff from some Of the trust
products that do i'll might be remedy.
The people know that this would be d
remedy. and the more the President talks
along these lines. the better will the
Democrats be satisfied.
In commenting on Chairman Bab2 'ck S
confidence OF Republican success IN the
fail elections. MIR. Grigss said that he
could not exactly figure out MI Bah
COCKS philosophy. Though he IS co!'-
iident that the Republicans Will control
the Fifty-eighth Congress, he at the same
tima predicts that they will lose some
members Mr.. Babcock may know more
ABOUT Sitting down hill than do, but
never vet have been able to understand
how q man who begins to slide down can
know exactly the point above the pot
tom at which he will or can stop.
HENDERSON, RETIREMENT.
Mr.. Grisgs ascribes no other reason
for Speaker Henderson's withdrawal
from the race In his home district than
that assigned by the Speaker hi1nseiI IN
his declination-the tariff.
~ regret very much that,it hould have
been stated that the Democratic cam
paign managers have been contemplating
any personal attack on General Hen
derson,'' continued Mr.. Grlggsi
Nothing has been further from our IN
tentions. l believe Mr.. Henderson re-
tired from the race because OF the
reasons he gave. To believe anything
else it seems to me. would be a reflec-
ton upon his integrity as a man and his
what he says. whether his professed
friends believe it or not
This only accentuates the fact that
tariff reform is coming in spite Of any
thing the Republican leaders may do or
say. The people are tired of fostering
industries. which. in the language of
Mr.. Pou treat US not only worse than
they do foreigners, but worse than they
do savages' by charging us higher prices
for American made goods than they
charge aliens for the same class
Of goods This is creating strong
sentiment in favor of a proper revision
of the Dingley tariff law, as it ought to
do
The correspondence which passed be-
tween Chairman C.aigEss and the Speaker
on the publication of the run1or that
personal attack was to be made on Mr..
Henderson was conducted by telegraph
and was as follows:
Hon David D. Henderson. Dubuque,
Iowa:
Statement in New York papers this
morning that Democratic campaign man.
ayers intended or contemplated personal
attack on you. absolutely false so far
as Congressional Committee is concerned.
I am very sure you would not care about
same. and merely send this message in
the interest of truth.
81. NJ GRIGGs,
Hoffman House New York city
Speaker 1Iendersons reply to this reads:
'.Your telegram is appreciated. Have
not heard of the reported and intended
attack and as ] am not a candidate
for Office cannot understand why any
one should have such a desire Appre-
ciate your thoughtfulness in sending wire
D. 3. HENDERSON.
Mr. Grises left Washington for New
York this afternoon. He will return to
headquarters the last OF the week.
