In making canvass for the nom

sale of the business, which can be verl-
fled by the County records, but that it
is my intention never TO resume the

Democrats who have been disturbed
by tine receipt Of tainted campaign
funds frolI Wall Street by the Ne
braska Democratic managers, should
forget the incident, Tor 1t appears to
have been mostly wasted on Popu-
list newspaper that did not prove to
have any influence. Judge Parker
should be the only kicker, for his in
tercsts appear to have been entirely
overlooked in the shuttle. TLose New
York millionaires are easy marks; and
bleeding them for political purposes
helps 10 redistribute the wealth Of the
cou-t try on more even basis, il the
way the Popuilsts look at 1t, and the
report Of how the money was spent
seems TO support the Populist theory.
II the money had been used in getting
out the Democratic vote, which is a
leg innate expenditure, the result
would have been much better show
ing for the Democrats.
