all the outfit Of a campaign calls
for q broadgauged management ana
lots OF money
Again alluding to the 'nuepen'
dents it is stated:
'sThis latter c?aSs (Den not idanti-
ted with any patty was responsible
for the election CT Grover Cleveland
in two national campaigns, a man OF
peculiar faults, utterly devoid OF the
qualities necessary to cope with the
duties OF the high cfhce Of president
OF the United States. This unmanly
and contem ptible slur is made in a
circular written and published in order
10 secure money to be expended for
the election Of Theodore E osevelt.
''The circular attributes the great
building operations in New York to
the Republican party's control OF the
national government, and says that
s'if Judge Parker is elected those who
now dwell in New York els will be
driven to the tenement houses. Ine
writer Of the circular further re-
marks: I know Of a hundred con-
Germs in this country that would ra-
ther give s5O,0C0 each than have a
change Of party
The circular then procee dS to deny
its own story OF the prosperity Whlca
bas followed the administration ano
control Of the Republican party, ano
it's author, assuming a conhdentlal
air, says: If you must know the
truth, let me tell you that there is
danger ahead! With Maryland and
Kentucky out of the Republican
column, with $4,000 men cut Of en-
ployment in Chicago, with the
failure of crops in the Dakotas, With

the Republicans ready to knife Odel!

Again: Not one dollar OF your
money will be thrown away. twill

which shall bring you. not only gooo
returns, but you shall have four years
more of prosperity, because you will

shameless promise made in behalf OF

and from the operations Of the anti
trust law will be paid back and given
to campaign~fund contribut- rs, at the
expense of the taxpayers.
''Why not help gocd thing? Do 1t
today! Do it now! Hon. Cornelius
n. Bliss is the treasurer Of the Re-.
publican National Committee, with

These are the last words of this e1'
5raordinary circular. Comment is
hardly necessary, but again it is well
TO repeat the assertion Of the Bro; k
lyn Eagle and New York Times, that
yhe presidency is to be purchased II it
can be, and to add that this circular
appeal to monied men furnishes cyl
dence Of the method to be employed.
True it is, as Professor Nelson says:
The Republican campaign depends
on money, not on principle, not on az
zument, but on money, and suca vast
sums are asked for That al intelligent
men know that the money is not 10 90
for legitimate expenses, but for cor
cuption, and, Furthermore, the clf-

given that to contributors shall be

for the next four years. In the history
of sll democraces, no such scandalous
assault upon the integrity Of people

Republican leaders, with Mr.. Roose-
yelt's Cortelyon at their head, are now
making.
