A vote for Weaver in any
Democratic State is a vote
for Harrison.
A vote for Weaver is there
fore a vote for the force bill,
for negro supervisors and in
spectors and postmasters.
It is a vote for the indefinite
continuance of the robber
tarriff, Jwhich reduces each
year the exchange value of
tire cotton crop at last fifty
million of dollars.
It is u votf, for unbounded
extravagance, unnatural ex
penditures, and brings us no
nearer currency reform.
An examination of the vote
in the electoral college maker
plain to one that Weaver's e
lection is impossible; that ei
ther Cleveland or Harrison
will be the next President.
Every vote drawn from the
Cleveland column strength

to gel Patton a id Wilcox to

they so arrange their appoint

places at the same time. At
any rate the people will see
who is dodging and bush
whacking and will lay the
blame where it belongs. The
people see the race is bet ween
Bower and Wilcox anil that
Patton stands no chance of
being elected. Many men who
would be glad to vote f o r
Mr. Patton if he had any
chance ol election will refuse
to waste their votes u p o n
him thereby assisting to e
lect Wilcox. This view of the
case is daily becoming more
and more apparent. There
is no sense in Patton'scnndi
dacy. All it means is the de
feat of Bower. Patton has
become stubborn and obsti
nate and how declares ho will
run on let the consequences
be what they may. He has
a right to do so. But sensi
ble people are under no obli
gation to gratify his pique
by throwing away their
votes upon him.
