AN OPEN LETTER.
Editors Messenger;

Editors Messenger:
One of the most contemplate end
transparent falsehoods ever invented
BY an imbeCiIe peanut politician Is the
charge that Thomas E. Watson Is hired
by the Republicans TO make the can
vsss In which he Is now engaged. But
I and some very good people, who are
no fools either, but Of course wllfulIy
ignorant of some things they ought to
know, are repeating this onsen
To such I would say, friendi care
fully read an authentic copy Of Mr..
Watson's letter Of acceptance. and the
speeches be has made then You win be
able to form an opinion Of your own.
You will fad that Mr.. Watson
charges that the Republican party,
aided By German, Hill, Belmont, Car
Isle, Cleveland and other so called
democrats, who are now managing the
Parker campaign, created aIl the
trusts. You willsind 10 Mr.. Watson's
addresses By far the most powerful
denunciation Of this class legislation;
the dearest portrayal Of The corrupt
ing influence OF the trusts upon ali
branches Of the government; their
mercIless robbery Of the people; and
strongest appeal to the people to rally
to the principles of Jefersonian demo
oraey that you ever read in youf life
Now, II after you have carefully read
all of this, You are still Of the opinion
that the trusts or trusts makers ar,
paying such a man, to disseminate
such literature. and educate the peopl
as certainly he is doing, then, m,
dear friend, you ought 20 be believe,
for the simples.
