citizen and becomes a mere scramble

not be able to maintain its hold upon
the respect of the thinking man. That
was our course and we entered the
! contest with Mr.. Clayton only because
/ his course and purpose was to place
/ faction in control of the party. We
had no fear that Mr.. Clayton alone
+ could accomplish the work. It was
/ the secret influence behind him that
we feared and before that influence
/ could be successfully met it was neces-
( sary to force it into the open. In do

4 against Mr.. Hanna. 1t was the things
! he stood for and the method Of his
/ working that we felt compelled to ex-

/ in the party to lend aid and assistance
i to an independent move to destroy the
/ Republican party was a course that no
/ good Republican can endorse. To lend
/ himself as he has to opposition news
/ papers and secretly throw his influence
I in their direction and attempt to place
such renegade boodler as Clayton in
control of the party is indefensfble.''

with his square dear demands and his
endeavor to secure fair freight rates
