Senator DoIIhsr rurns On .he mana.

from bis place IN the senate lchsmber,
has just given us very com piete COM
plsite Picture of the Republican party,
Mr. DoIliver 10 to he complImented
on bis gameness equally as much as
upon thesclarity of bis vision, and 1t is
q matter Of some delight to Democrats
- Know u at there is one republican
OF standing and position who can see
nis own party as others see 1t.
Senator tDolliver is no subordinate
OF Republican politics. For twenty
years he was associated with the or
iganizsiion in the house Of representa-
tives andifor teniyears has represented
the great state OF Iowa in the United
states senate. He is u man of power-
full physique, and so far in life has been
able TO give a,pretty good account of
himself IN all sorts of arguments. His
accomplishments of The past are dim
med in the mighty task he has cut out
for the future. Senator .Dolliver pro-
poses to clean cut the rottenness In
the Republican party; be proposes to
reform the political machinery that
gave the country its present array OF
national statesmen-Aldrich, Cannon,
Taft, sherman, Payne, Dalzell and
their machine associates. Our first
thought and mo st fervent wish ia that
towa's big, brave son, might be sue
cessful in the effort. He knows from
intimate association and inside con-
nection now, how much there is to
do and what he will encounter. In a
speech that echoed through the Repub-
licaR cloak room at Washington, this
Iowa statesmen told us that for the
coming congressional election the Re-
publican party has
IA campaign committee presided
over by multi-millionaire steel car
magnate, with treas Try filed with
rotten money, pouring out its steady
stream Of muddy literature to defame
us Ohe Insurgents. refuse to leave
the party TO accommodate such po-
litical hocus pocus as that
Holding position of great trust, no
one would expect Mr.. Dolliyer to leave
the party responsible for the condition
he des cribes, but there is no reason
why the people should linger near the
cesspool. We shall probably hear more
about the treasury filled with rotten
money when the fall campaign opens,
for the dirty stream will then be used
to defile the Democratic candidates for
congress-.
But to continue with Dolliver. Hav-
ing paid his respects TO the congress
sional end of the Republican party he
gave US a peep at the executive man
sion. There, too, he must have found
rotte, conditions, for he said;
81 share the universal disgust of
making great executive department
the headquarters of the awkard squad
of politics."
Dirty money and patronage are two
of the things the iowa man must
fight t. he would put the Republican
party in position responsive to the
will of the people, And his determine
tion to make the fight is voiced in the
concluding sentences of bis great
speech in the following words:
IL am through with permitting a
few people TO use all the power of gov
eminent for their own interest. | will
fight that evil, but as Republican. !
do not care what my political fate
may be. My quarrel is with the mod
ern method of money making. / be-
lieve they will destroy our Republican
institutions"
In the foregoing is presented a very
good picture Of the Republican organ
zation of the country, from the lips Of
an eminent Republican, who knows
something about the subject he is dis.
cussing. 1t is frank, clear and refresh
ing. The country's quarrel, like Mr.
Delivers, is with the moGer method
of money making. But the Republi-
can party snd that method are insep,
ara BILE, and Senator Dolliver can nc
more defeat 1t from within the ranks
of Republicanism than he could turn
back the Niagara rlver. All those
things, of which the Iowaian COM
plains, are the fruits of a Republican
administration of government; of the
protective tariff and special privilege
policy of the party. The hope of the
country is III the Democracy
