NEPOTISM NEVER SO RAMPANT IN
WASHINGTON AS NOW.
How the Democratic Leaders in the
Senate Use Their Authority to
Enrich Their Relatives.
Most of the Democratic leaders
when the Senate was organized after
Mr. Cleveland’s inauguration, caught
the ‘‘family fever,” the contagion of,
appointing sons, daughters, nephews,
nieces, sons-in-law and brothers-m
--law to office. Nepotism was never
so rampant in fact as it is today un
der an Administration pledged to
economy and reform.
VICE PRESIDENT STEVESON’S BEGIN
NING.
Vice President Stevenson’s first
official act was to appoint his son
Lewis G. Stevenson, an excellent
young man who had been unable to
find a profitable situation elsewhere,
private secretary at about $7 a day.
He draws salary whether Congress
is in session or not. He has little
work to do at any time.
Senator Cockrell of Missouri on
becoming chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations, at once appointed
his son, Francis M. Cockrell, Jr., an
“assistant clerk” at 82,220 a year.
The young man is not out of college,
and the exactions of the college nine,
the boat crew, the foot ball team and
Greek root still occupy all his time.
Hence it was necessary to have some
one else who should be in visible at
tendance on the committee. Senator
Cockrell accordingly selected E. Y.
Mitchell, Jr., the brother-in-law of a
fellow member, and he is drawing
81,440 a year-
THE “CLERKS” SELDOM DO THE
WORK.
As in the case of young Stevenson
the vice President’s son, whenever
there is any work to be done both Mr.
Stevenson and Senator Cockrell have
to employ a stenographer, as their
sons know nothing of the one accom
plishment requisite to a secretary.
The person qualified to do the work
is paid out of the “contingent fund,”
■while the sons draw the salary the
year round.
Senator Voorhees of Indiana is
chairman of the Committee on Fi
nance. James P. Voorhees, the son
of the Senator, has been appointed
clerk and stenographer to the com
mittee at an annual salary of 82,500.
There is a painful doubt at present
existing as to the stenographic skill
of the Junior Voorhees. The ser
vices of the former clerk, Benjamin
Durfee, are retained. The appro
priation provides but one salary. So
Mr. Durfee, it is alleged, hs paid $lO
per day from the contingent fund of
the Senate.
PUGH, JONES AND VANCE.
Senator Pugh of Alabama is chair
man of the Committee on Judiciary.
His ton, H. L. Pugh, was immedi
ately named as clerk to that commit
tee.’ The salary is $2,200. James
Pugh, another son of the Senator, is
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for
the District of Columbia. Politically
speaking, the Pugh family seem to be
well provided for.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, fol
lowing the fashion of his colleagues,
appointed his son, James K. Jones,
Jr., clerk to the Committee on In
dian Affairs.
Senator Morgan of Alabama is the
present chairman of the Corhmittee
on Foreign Relations, but he has not
forgotten his domestic relations, and
seems disposed to do his duty by
them. Senator Morgan’s son, George
W. Morgan, is clerk to the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. His labors
are rewarded by the sum of 82,220.
Senator Vance of North Carolina
was appointed by Mr. Stevenson
chairman of the Committee on Pri
vileges and Elections, and he at once
exercised one of his privileges by
making his son, Charles N. Vance,
clerk to the committee at 82,220 per
annum.
Senator Ransom of North Carolina
exercised the same paternal foresight.
He -was chairman of the Committee
on Commerce. His son, George E.
Ransom, was at once appointed its
nominal clerk—salary 82,220-
Senator Harris of Tennessee be
came chairman of the Committee on
District of Columbia. Ask for the
clerk and—if you can find him—he
will be C. H. Harris, the Senator’s
son, salary 82,220.
Senator George of Mississippi is
chairman of Agriculture and Fores
try. He seems not to have had a
relative available for the clerkship
nearer than a grandson, and so J.
G. Hemingway, grandson of Senator
George, got it. His salary is 82,220
per year.
NEW SENATORS DOING WELL.
Senator Pasco of Florida has not
escaped the contagion. He has only
been in the Senate a short time, but
his son, W. D. Pasco, is already an
assistant clerk there—salary 81,440.
Senator Gordon of Georgia is
chairman of the Committee on Coast
Defenses. H. H. Gordon, his son,
has received the appointment of clerk
at the annual salary, 82,220.
Senator Butler of South Carolina
is chairman of the Committee on In
ternate Commerce. His nephew,
Carroll Brooks, consented to “fill the
bill” and receive the salary of 82,220
a year.
Mr. Cleveland’s intimate friend,
Roger Q. Mills of Texas is chairman
of the Committee on Library. His
son, C. H. Mills, within a few days
after inauguration was appointed
clerk. The stereotyped 82,220 per

annum appears with his name on the
payroll.
The messenger of this committee,
whose pay is 81,440 a year, acts as
stenographer and typewriter and
does all the work.
Senator Palmer, the Democratic
veteran of Illinois, having no son
available, appointed his daughter
clerk to the Committee on Pensions,
just to keep it ifi the family.
A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY APPOINTED.
Senator Colquitt of Georgia is
chairman of the Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads. He has
only been in the Senate since 1883.
His eldest son was but a babe when
his father was elected, but has grown
to be a successful candidate for office.
Master W. T. Colquitt, son of Sena
tor Colquitt, a lad of 12-years, holds
the position of messenger to the Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post roads
at a salary of 81,440 per annum. A
political atmosphere develops won
derful precocity.
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky
has only occupied a seat in the Sen
ate since 1885. He is an infant in
senatorial years. The new regime
gave to Senator Blackburn the chair
manship of the committee on Rules.
Mr. Joseph Blackburn, Jr., his son,
was appointed clerk to the committee
instanter. Joseph, Jr., draws 82,220
per annum from Uncle Sam’s coffers.
As a representative of the People’s
party Senator Peffer of Kansas is
doing extremely well. Miss Nellie
M. Peffer is assistant clerk to the
Examining Committee. The old
reliable 81,440 is the reward of her
services. Mr. William A. Peffer, Jr.
as messenger to the same committee,
matches his sister with another 81,-
440. The united resources of the
Peffer family make quite a neat bank
account. If a list of the private sec
retaries were published it would cre
ate a sensation. The wives and
daughters of Senators have drawn
86 per day in many instances and the
equivalent rendered would not be
termed skilled labor. Senators who
in debate oppose private clerks per
mit members of their families to
draw generous sums for nominal
services.

Editor People’s Partv Paper :
I have been reading the National
Watchman. It is one of the best
little papers I ever saw, but not big
enough to satisfy a healthy People’s
party man. I want more of the
same sort of .political gospel, so I
enclose a dollar for your paper.
The reform movement is on a
boom in this county. People are not
satisfied with the present conditions.
Some of our people are not far from
actual suffering, and no promise of
better times.
Fair elections are denied us under
our infamous election law—-enacted
to prevent a free ballot and a fair
ount. Kolb, the majority candidate,
is counted .out, and Jones, minority
candidate, is counted m—and all done
in the name of dear old Democracy.
The Alliance is neither dead nor
dying out here. New members are
joining the order and stragglers
coming back at every meeting.
I want to be one of twenty thous
and to contribute a dollar each to
keep Tom Watson at Washington the
next four years, for the sole purpose
of telling us through his paper the
truth about what is going on. lam
sure it will be a good investment.
Yours for the right,
Coloma, Ala. Jesse Pope.

Vanderbilt’s Game Preserves.
Ashville, N. C., June 21. Geo-
W. Vanderbilt has just concluded
the purchase of 20,000 acres of land
in the “pink beds” section of Hen
son and Transylania counties, in this
State.
The purpose of the purchase is to
make one of the finest game pre
serves in the -world. Game-keepers
are already in charge of the prop
erty and every farm-house on the
estate has been • torn down. The
property is only a few miles from

PEOPLE’S PARTY PLATFORM.
Adopted at the Omaha Conference of
Laboring People, July 4, 1892.
Assembled upon the one hundred and
sixteenth anniversary of the declaration
of independence, the People’s party of
America, in their first national conven
tion, invoking upon their action the
blessing of Almighty God, puts forth in
the name and on behalf of the people of
this country, the following preamble and
declaration of principles :
The conditions which surround us best
justify our co-operation. We meet in
the midst of a nation brought to the
verge of moral, political and material
ruin. Corruption dominates the ballot
box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench.
The people are demoralized. Most of
the States have been compelled to isolate
the voters at the polling places to pre
vent universal intimidation or bribery.
The newspapers are largely subsidized or
muzzled, public opinion silenced, busi
ness prostrated, our homes covered with
mortgages, labor impoverished, and the
land concentrating in the hands of the
capitalists. The urban workmen are de
nied the right of organization for self
protection ; imported pauperized labor
beats down their wages ; a hireling
standing army, unrecognized by our
laws, is established to shoot them down,
and they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions. The fruits of the
toil of millions are boldly stolen to build
up collossal fortunes for a few, unprece
dented in the history of mankind, and
the possessors of these, ia turn, despise
the republic and endanger liberty. From
the same prolific mode of governmental
injustice we breed the two great clas
ses—tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is
appropriated to enrich bondholders. A
vast public debt payable in legal tender
currency has been funded into gold
bearing bonds, thereby adding millions
to the burdens of the people.
the old parties arraigned.
Silver, which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing
power of gold by decreasing the value of
all forms of property, as well as humaij
labor, and the supply of currency is pur
posely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprises and enslave industry. A
vast conspiracy against mankind has
been organized on two continents and is
rapidly taking possession of the world.
If not met and overthrown at once it
forebodes terrible social convulsions, the
destruction of civilization, or the estab
lishment of an absolute despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a
century the struggles of the two great
political parties for power and plunder,
while grievous wrongs have been in
flicted upon the suffering people. We
charge that the controlling influences
dominating both these parties have per
mitted the exising dreadful conditions to
develop without, serious effort to prevent
or restrain them. Neither do they now
promise us any substantial reform. They
have agreed together to ignore in the
coming campaign every issue but one.
They propose to drown the outcries of
plundered people with the uproar of a
sham battle over the trriff, so that capi
talists, corporations, national banks,
rings, trusts, watered stock, the demone
tization of silver and the oppressions of
the usurers may all be lost sight of.
They propose to sacrifice our homes,
wives and children on the altar of Mam
mon ; to destroy the multitude in order
to secure corruption funds from the mil
lionaires.
Assembled on she anniversary of the
birthday of the nation, and filled with
'the spirit of the grand generation who
established ; our independence, we seek to
restore the government of the republic
to the hands of “the plain people,” with
which class it originated.
THE WAR IS OVER.
We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the national con
stitution— “To form a more perfect
union, establish ijustice, insure domes
tic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for
ourselves and our posterity.” We de
clare that this republic can only endure
as a free government while built upon
the love of the whole people for each
other and for the nation ; that it cannot
be pinned together by bayonets ; that the
civil war is over, and that every passion
and resentment which grew out of it
must die with it, and that we must be in
fact, as we are in name, one united
brotherhood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted by
conditions for which there is no prece
dent in the history of the world—our
annual agricultural productions amount
to billions of dollars in value, which
must within a few weeks or months be
exchanged for billions of dollars of com
modities consumed in their production ;
the existing currency supply is wholly
inadequate to make this exchange ; the
results are falling prices, the formation
of combines and rings and the impov
erishment of the producing classes. We
pledge ourselves that if given power we
will labor to correct these evils by wise
and reasonable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of govern
ment—in other words, of the people
should be expanded (as in the case
the postal service) as rapidly and
as far as the good sense of an intelligent
people and the teachings of experience
sbail justify, to the end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall eventually
cease in the land.
THREEFOLD DECLARATION.
While our sympaties as a party of re
form are naturally upon the side of
every proposition which will tend to
make men intelligent, virtuous and tem
perate, we nevertheless regard these
questions, important as they are, as
secondary to the great issues now pres
sing for solution, and upon which not
only our individual prosperity but the
very existence of free institutions de
pend ; and we ask all men to first help
us to determine whether we are to have
a republic to administer before we differ
as to the conditions upon which it is to
be administered, believing that the
forces of reform this day organized will
never cease to move forward until every
wrong is remedied and equal rights and
equal privileges securely established for
all tne men and women of the country.
We declare, therefore—
1. That the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day consum
mated, shall be permanent and per
petual. May its spirit enter into all
hearts for the salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who creates
it. and every dollar taken from industry
without an eqivalent is robbery. “If any
will not work, neither shall he eat.”
The interests of rural and civic labor are
the same ; their enemies are identical.
3. We believe that the time has come
when the railroad corporations will
either own the people or the people must
own them, and should the government
enter upon + he work of owning and
managing any or all railroads we should
favor an amendment to the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the
government service shall be placed un
der a civil service regulation of the most
rigid character, so as to prevent the in
crease of the power of national - admin
istration by the use of such additional
government employes.
platform planks.
1. We demand a national currency,
safe, sound, and flexible, issued by the
general government only, a full legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
and that without the use of banking cor-
a just, equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the peo
ple, at a tax not exceeding 2 per cent, be
provided, as set forth in the subtreasury
plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or some
better system ; also by payments in dis
charge of its obligations for public im
provements.
a. We demand free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
b. We demand that the amount of cir
culating medium be speedily increased
to not less than soo per capita.
c. We demand a graduated income
tax.
d. We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as pos
sible in the- hands of the people, and
hence we demand that all State and
national revenue shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government,
economically and honestly administered.
We demand that postal savings
bank" be established by the government
f'lr tho safe deposit of th®. earnings of
tit p eople and to facilitate exchange.
5. Transportation beffig a means of
change and a public necessity, the gov
ernment should own a. * operate the
railroads in the interest of the people.
а. The telegraph and telephone, like
the post-office system, bein& a necessity
for the transportation of news, should
be owned and operated in by the govern
ment in the interest of the people.
3. The land, including all the national
resources of wealth, is the heritage of all
the people, and should not be monopo
lized for speculative purposes, and alien
ownership of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of their
actual needs, and all lands now owned
by aliens, should be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual settlers
only.
SUPPLeMENT TO THE PLATFORM.
"Whereas other questions have been
presented for our consideration, we here
by submit the following, not as a part of
the platform of the People’s party, but
as resolutions expressive of the senti
ment of this convention :
1. Resolved, That we demand a free
ballot and a fair count in all elections
and pledge ourselves to secure it to every
legal voter without Federal intervention
through the adoption by the States of
the unperverted Australian or secret
ballot system,
2. Resolved, That the revenue derived
from a graduated income tax should be
applied to the reduction of the burden
of taxation now resting upon the domes
tic industries of this country.
3. Resolved. That we pledge our sup
port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-
Union soldiers and sailors.
4. Resolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor un
der the present system, which opens our
ports to the pauper and criminal classes
of the world, and crowds out our wage
earners ; and we denounce the present
ineffective laws against contract labor,
and demand the further restriction of
undesirable immigration.
5. Resolved, That we cordially sympa
thize with the efforts of organized work
ingmen to shorten the the hours of labor
and demand a rigid enforcement of the
existing eight-hour law on government
work, and ask that a penalty, clause be
added to the said law.
б. Resolved, That we regard the main
tenance of a large standing army of
mercenaries, known as the Pinkerton
system as a menace to our liberties, and
we demand its abolition ; and we con
demn the recent ihvasion of the terri
tory of Wyoming by the hiered assassins
of plutocracy, assisted by Federal of
ficials.
7. Resolved, That we commend to the
favorable consideration of the people
and the reform press the legislative sys
tem known as the initiative and referen
dum.
8. Resolved, That we favor a constitu
tional provision limiting the office of
President and Vice-President to one
term, and providing for the election of
Senators of the United States by a direct
vote of the people.
9. Resolved, That we oppose any sub
sidy or national aid to any private cor
poration for any purpose.
