hands into other peoples pockets but merely keeping other peoples hands out ou of their own pockets can support the republican ticket while today tho the republican party denies the principles of 0 equal rights to all and special privileges le to none and Is making this a government govern of the syndicates by the syndicates and tor for the syndicates the republican party Is not prepared to defend its policy on any question when you challenge it to defend itself it talks prosperity to the farmer and a full dinner pall to the laboring man an and that Is all it has to eay say it if the republican party were to attempt ito show in what respect tt it has brought prosperity to the farmer it would wait but 0 a republican bald said the other day that the republican party was in
