| Show SENATOR SL S CANNON AS A DECOY DUCK A gentleman in hooper writes us that senator cannon in addressing the people of that burg a few nights ago said that ho lie was not a democrat but the reason he was not ono one was that he lie could draw more votes from the republican party by claiming to be a silver republican than it if ho he announced himself asa as a democrat but that mat eventually he would le a demo craff crat the correspondent further stat 1 te cihat he was a silver republican but bioni now on would oppose senator cannon and use nse all bis his influence to convince other silver republicans that the me course of the senator deserved their condemnation that any public servant posing and occupying a position closely allied to one of deception introduced into american politics one of 0 the most dangerous and pernicious t roll cies that any class of men could devise tending to the destruction of public trust in public men and therefore I 1 are aiming mining a vital blow at the american form of government we deem the words or rather the substance of what the hooper man us as worthy of special attention as it was a speech very similar to the one delivered by senator cannon that impelled the editor of the standard to break from the so called silver 0 Le publican party and cast his lot with w I 1 those republicans who make free to declare that while they advocate tree free coinage of silver they can never countenance a scheme calculated to deceive the tle great body of that party and carry them blindfolded blind folded misguided and misinformed iti into the democratic party there to add comfort and strength to those laboring for the repeal of all laws authorizing protection to ameri amerl ann cnn tn industries when chas towne the head of the misnomer iule nomer silver republican party addressed an iud lence in tn the weber county court house and in effect waid that the party yaa vas born to die and its 4 aj 7 t pole le object was to lead republicans into the democratic party nothing so I 1 forcibly struck us as emblematic of that party and its emissaries as a decoy duck and i ether than countenance a policy of deception and become a party to a scheme so false and unfair we openly avowed our allegiance to the reunited republican party of the west the tenets of which demand free coinage protection protect lon to all american industries dus tries and reciprocity 4 apparently there are many other silver republicans who have turned in disgust Is gust from the ante mortem party of towne and cannon because of the boast their speakers make that their mission is to inveigle men and women into the party this of course Is not personal with senator cannon and Is not a reflection on bib personality except insomuch as he lie stands as the instrumentality of a party that is born to die of its own iniquities and is a fraud a snare and an imposition |
