Coming down to the Hearst issue. Mr..
Drisooll said:
HARD KNOCKS FOR HEARST.
Imagine. il you can, the Hon. William RAN
dolph Hearst. my colleague in the House,
riding through the country In a private car
with a private parlor. boudOir. bath. cuisine
and chef. living in the most elegant and
luxurious Partisan style. having any genuine
sympathy for the ploughboy in the feldl
Think Of this pampered creature OF fortune,
who never experienced want or learned the
value Of a dollar. who was born to wealth
and reared in eXtrava gance. with every desire
gratifed and within humored, having any real
fellow feeling with the man who shovels dirt
or hoes corn! Contemplate this young man
consumed with vanity. counting notoriety.
burning with a passion for popular applause
and adulation. pluming himself and parad-
ing through the country as the great and only
tribune of the people and the champion of the
poor!
Well. novelties and humbuGs come and go.
He pays the freight. Lucky for him bic
father was born first. After election he will
sympathize with the boy who was kicked by
a mule. He won't feel so well, but will know
more.
His ambition is vaultinr. his schemes all
planned. and his eKchequer full. Wealth
and yellow journals are his stock in trade.
He has been working those mud machines
with sixty jackass power. throwing filth on
prominent Democrats from Maine to Texas.
in the hope that by the process OF bespattera-
ton and elimination he will submerge all his
rivals and buy his way into the White House.
In order TO down the bosses he organized an
independence League, of which he is dicta-
tor. He nominated a State ticket. on which
he and another multimillionaire take first
and second places, and the others are re-
served for jockeying purposes. His mer-
! cenaries are in Buffalo to-day. striving to
bully. blum. beg or buy the regular Democracy
into reco g%nition Of their chief az a Democrat.
Let the Kilkenny cat fight go noisly on. The
| typical Democrats love contention. without
it life is not worth living. Their special
function il to obstruct, CritiCise and scold.
Let them berate each other and exhaust
their vocabulary OF vitupeTation. They will
expel their accumulated bile. Then they will
feel better and accept defeat more grace
fully.
Congressman DriscoIl closed with a pre-
diction of Republican victory.
