hind these democratic papers which
began to sneeze as soon as Wall street
took snuff? Belmont. He did this.
Judge a man by his environments.
Judging by those to whom he owes
his election, judging by those WHO
run his campaign; judging by those
who help set up his campaign fund,
because those men are making pledges
ali along to get this campaign fund.
Who are they? There is Richard Oh
ney of Massachusetts Who is Oiney?
He Is the man who has been revising
the letter OF acceptance which is to be
issred soon by MIR. Parker. Who is
Olney? He is railroad lawyer, who
was in Clevelahds administration as
attorney general for the United States,
and who, according to all the pub
llshed prints, continued to draw his
pay from the corporations at the same
time he drew his pay from the people.
And while he drew $4,000 per year
from the people, the report was that
ne drew $25,OU0 every year from the.
corporations. The. good book tells us
we can not serve two masters at the
same time. And the time came when
he had TO choose at the great riot in
Chicago.
The Pullman Palace Car company,
one OF the most powerful, one I'll the
most rapacious corporations on the
face OF the earth had cut down the
scale OF wages of their workmen,
which the workmen resisted. There
was strike and resulted in the usual
disorders which come Aom strike.
The street cars had been stopped. The
capitalists OF Chicago, the kings OF

ard Olney, being the adviser of Cleve-
land, advised him that he had the
right to send the federal troops into
the sovereign state of Illinois over the
protest OF her democratic governor,
and with shallow pretense OF putting
mail sacks on the car, they Eushed it
through the strikers, and thus used
the power of the United States TO
break down their resistance and what
was an infringement OF their rights.
Mr. Cooley. the great constitutional
lawyer, wrote to Cleveland cungratu-
lating him that he haG established a
new principle in constitutional law.
1t was a new principle.

Even Hamilton did not pretend that
Washington had the right to call in
the United States troops until the state
