Will you accord me space in you
esteemed newspaper, in an attemp
to enlighten the citizenship as to thu
true character of certain inVinciblC
parsonage, who now, as in the past
has and is sailing quite triumphantly
in a false light in his own mind, ant
in the mind of thoughtless follow
ing.
Recognizing that / shall become the
subject of his venomosity, as it is
impossible to avoid it in my effort tc
truthfully set out by historic facts
the true character of the man whom
make the subject of my reasoning
and who | shall endeavor to show is
a "Menace to Constitutional Govern
ment," and who is now wearing q
false garb, which when secured was
obtained by the votes of an ill-advised
electorate, who unwittingly sancti-
fed his heroism.
make reference to the parsonage
of my subject, by the narration Of
facts, as it will be needless to name
him when the following disclosures
are fully considered, and the chart
tableness of my nature is observed,
in according him the sole honor of
founding an excommunicado for his
discards, "known as the Annanias
Club"
Col. George Harvey referred to him
as "Bully, betrayer of friends, and
demagogue". Germany's great sta
tistician referred to him as "a rank
Socialist" and as a Faunist, we all
Join in mirth. AS to the assertion
of his being bully, we will accept
his use of the governments detective
sloughs to ruin the Hon. Joseph For
aker of Ohio, because Foraker proved
that he as President acted without
constitutional right in his discharge of
the 25th Regiment of Colored Troops
after the Brownsville shooting, with
out according the right of defense by
court martial, or trial by jury. Then
along the same trend, adjusted by the
bull that is in him, he attacked Sem
ator Benjamin Tillman, Haskell of
Oklahoma, Frank Monet of Ohio, and
lastly Belamy Storer and his wife
Mariah, and ask, what became of it
all? The chief item of interest was,
THAT he paid off his sloughs from
fund not authorized by law" So much
in establishing the Bully.
AS tolthe betrayal of his seven-year
friend, whom he dethroned upon the
theory, "That whom he cannot master
he will Destroy" all good and intelli-
gent party adherents are familiar.
But desire to make mention of an in
cident in his career while he was on
the job of betraying, that many have
lauded, thousands applauded, and
many thought cause for placing his
photo in the Halls of Fame.
When starting out on his mission
to "dethrone Bill", he first went to
Cheyenne, Wyoming, to counsel with
the cow boys, and ride a few bron-
chos to stimulate him for the job, and
at the first stop on the trip (select-
ing the camp Of the Indians at Osa-
wotomie Kans.), he delivered that
memorable speech known as his "New
Nationalism," in which was this plat
itude:
"The Government control of the
wages of labor, and the limitation of
the earnings of capital" and here
give some history which this social
istic preachment initiated and caused
TWO men to refer to it as such, the
German Statistician and Senator VIM.
Lorimer, the latter being at the time
the controlling factor in the Chicago
nter-Ocean, whose editorial columns
the day following the publication of
his New Nationalism contained this
most worthy comment, as follows:
"His New Nationalism is the shame
faced Socialism of the Chair, invented
in Germany thirty years ago and i'm
ported into this country. To the man,
or men, who will accept it not know
ing what it is, better he had never
entered upon the privileges Of citi-
zenship, better he had been born in
Burmah, and spent his life in Persia
before committing such treason upon
his party, his country, and the COM
mon cause of human liberty; for the
