DUN MY
DRUMMERS
win Be Sent Out Through This State
By Democrats But Trick Has Been
Discovered and is Here Exposed.

The Democratic leaders have formu-
lated a scheme to send out through the
state, two or three weeks before the
election, number of travelling men to
talk for the Democratic national ticket
and especially Henry G. Davis. They
have devised this scheme to deceive the
people and to give the impression that
a political revolution is at hand. These
dummy druumers viii be good, slick
takers, who may be expected to use all
the ways tof the demagogue to bolster
mp the Democratic cause. The public
may be prepared to receive these nire-
lings with the contempt which is due
them and pay no attention TO anything
they may say
The scheme is something on the or
der of that which was worked in 1902
when Democratic agents went over the
country selling five cent tin cups for
two or three times the regular price,
telling the people that the Mckinley
tariff on tin was responsible for tns ex-
ira cost. This cheap and dishonest form
of campaigning was effective, perhaps in
some LOCALITIES. but it did not fool in
telligent people The Democrats won
in 'o2 and the Democratic party repeal
cd the Mckinley tariff law vita what
fearful effect is still fresh in the
memory of everybody They gave US a
Dcmocrotiel tarin aud the worst times
in the generation continued until the
Republican party came into power and
restored protection and good times.
The tin cup takers OF 1892 were the
ranlSest kind Of inipostSrs and the dunn
my drummers which are soon 10 b sent
out are made OF the same kind Of s.uI.
Do not pay any attention to taem. They
ore wind TANNERS and hot air artists
who should be severely sat upon at
every opportunity. The Democratic
trick worked in 1892 pretty well. but it
wont work this year.
