The result of last weeks election was
a phenomenal one, and shows how
unreasonable and inconsistent the
American people are at times OF poli'i.
cal excitement. aud how easily they are
Influenced and swsyad BY promises of .
few paltry dollars. Tho masses of the
common people have for years been
bowling about monopol,es ii and the
trusts. and yet they have gone to the
polls and again given their consent for
the trusts to flourish and grow. In fact
the republican party Of the United
States 10 itself the most stupendous
trust the world ever knew. and the
machine by which it ia controlled. is the
most arbitrary and grinding to DO found
on the face of the earth. It. hes nearly
one million and . half of employees,
embracing postmasters, postal clerks.

etc., all Of whom must he loyal to the

into insiRnifIcancs, for each ono is

part OF the gigantic political trust Of the
republican party, which is mani pulated
by lees than \ score of uuscrupuleus
political autocrats. Tho masses bowl
sRsirst trusts, yet 90 to the polls under
the dic,ation OF political bosses, and
"vote or s:rsiRht" for the perpetustion
Of the most arbitrary and rotten politi-
cal organization that has existed since
