A BAD RECORD.
BENJAMIN HARRISON** ADMINISTRATION
UNDER INDICTMENT EXTRAVA*
GANCE, CORRUPTION AND UTTER
DISREGARD OP SOLEMN PLEDGES.
The issue in this campaign is the Re
publican record of the last four years.
It is a very bad record. It is a record
of wrong-doiug, of unfair favoritism in
legislation and of scandalous misconduct
in administration; a record of reckless
squandering; of the debauchment of the
public service; of corruption in office
and in getting office, and of shameful
malpractices in the attempt to retain
power regardless of the popular will.
The Administration and the Fifty-first
Congress came into power by plain pur
chase. The Republican Party in 13SS
secured its triumph bv seising legislation
short.
Abandoning all that it had professed
and all that its leaders, living and dei l,
had taught concerning the limitations o:
right in tariff legislation, it framed a
platform m Chicigo in wnich it oilered
to monopolists such tariff rates a3 they
should desire for their enrichment at the
expense of the people, in return for con
tributions to the campaign fund.
The offer was accepted. Tne money
was paid, and with it the notorious em
bezzler and corruptionist, Matthew
with his lieutenant, Dudley, was
set to buy the election. When the funds
ran low John Wanamaker purchased an
option on a Cabiuet offi:e by securing an
additional contribution of $lOO,OOO
from the buyers of legislation upon a
margin.
When the Congress thus elected came
together the Republican majority was
too narrow and uncertain to do the work
it had promised. It could not deliver
the legislative goods it had sold to mon
opolists without resort to further un
fairness and wrong. It proceeded to un
seat members of the miuority whom the
people had elected and to seat Republi*
cans whom the people had refused to
elect, and not a man in all the majority
was brave or honest enough to raise a
voice in protest.
When the time came for debate the
majority decided not to permit debate,
lest the truth be made plain to the peo
ple.
The rules of the House were revolu
tionized. A dictator of peculiarly arbi
trary will was placed in the chair who'
suppressed discussion, overrode all con
siderations of fairness, changed the
House from a deliberative body into a
mere machine for recording his deter
mination, and thus enacted the measures
of monopoly which the party had beeu
paid in advance to p /
In two short years this Congress squ vi
dered an enormous surplus, reduced the;
treasury to the sorest straits, laid heavy!
burdens upon the people and upon in-'
dustry and made a determined, though
fortunately a fruitless, effort to rob the
several States of the right of free elec
tions in order to secure for the Repu’oli
can Party a longer lease of power. It!
sought to buy votes for the future by
pension legislation of the most reckless
and unjust character, whose shalow
hangs like a pall over tue finances of the;
country and must e übarrass its prosper
ity for a generation to come.
The Administration thus elected de
livered to Wanamaker the Cabinet office
he had bought, put Tanner into the Pea-,
sion Office, with hi3 exultant exclama
tion, “God help the surplus!'’ not uponj
his lips, and when his scandalous mis
conduct made his removal a necessity,
put Rium there instead, to work still;
larger mischief in less vociferous fash
ion, and to fill the office with specula
tions, peculations and scandals so shame
ful that even the Reed Congress could
not be dragooned into palliating them.
And, in spite of further and more 11 1-
grant exposure, Rauui is in office still I
The Administration came into po.ver
protesting most solemnly its purpose to
enforce the Civil Service law in letter
and spirit, and to extend its scope and
influence. It straightway set Clarkson
at work to behead postmasters at a rate
wholly unprecedented. The President
openly farmed out the Federal offices as
spoils to such bosses as Quay and Platt,
and quartered his own relatives and
partners and chums upon the public ser
vice. When the Civil Service Commis
sion discovered the mo3t flagrant and
shameless abuses in Biitimore and urged
the removal of numbers of persons by
name for proved misconduct amounting
to criminality—misconduct perpetrated
in the name and on behalf of the Ad
ministration—the whole matter was
jauntily put aside by Wanamaker, and
the President in no way interfered to re
deem his pledge or to free himself from
the shame of it alt.
Dudley was one of the agents in the
purchase of Mr. Harrison's election, and
he was found out. Mr. Harrison ha3
since refused to hold intimate personal
relations with the “Blocks ot Five’’
statesman, but through his Attorney-
General and former law partner he has
interfered with the administration of
justice in Dudley’s case, has caused a
judge upon the bench to shield and pro
tect crime, and has since rewarded that
judge for his corrupt subserviency by
elevating him to a higher judicial posi
tion.
And within these later months the
country has seen the President organize
the Civil Service into a political ma
chine, and with it compel his own
nomination for a second term.
From the very beginning Mr. Har
rison has used the appointing power as a
means of securing a second term for
himself. He resorted at the outset to a
device justly denounced by the elder
President of his name as wrong and
dangerous. He muzzled the press of
his own party so far as criticism of bis
administration was concerned. He made
sure of the support of the prominent
Republican newspapers for all his
ambitions by putting their editors under
obligations to himself for high office,
carrying with it pecuniary rewards,
poh tidal advantages or social distinc-
tion, according to the known need and
desire of each of his beaedciaries.
In certain directions he filled the
foreign service with incaoable men to
oblige unworthy interests. He sent
Mizner to Central America, and kept
him there long after the country had
given expression to its disgust and
humiliation with the conduct of an
A uericaa Minister who, in the interest
of a speculative syndicate, sacrifice! the
honor of the Nation aud the flag.
He sent E 'an and McCreery to Chile,
with results grievously hurtful both to
the good name aud to the commercial
interests of the country.
To Wana haker he has added Elkins as
a Cabinet officer—Elkins, a political
adventurer and speculator, who had
grown rich out of politics without hav
ing won resoect enough anywhere to
make his na ue suggestive even of possi
bilities in connection with honorable of
fice. He made Porter the Superinten
dent of the Census, knowing him to be
an already discredited manipulator of
statistics, a foreign a lventurer destitute
of convictions and in seirch of a market
i >r his peculiar abilities, a man at that
very time couducting badness as a vul
gar wine tout in combination with poli
tics and ready to placard his advertise
ments in the Executive Mansion itself.
He permitted this mau to falsify the cen
sus of great States by way of robbing
them of their just representation aud
thus increasing the chances of that
party’s success to whose service ho had
hired himself.
It is a sad and shameful story of
pledges broken; of fiscal legislation bar
tered for campaign funds; of e'ections
secured by the purchase ot voters; of
highoffice made the subject of vulgar
traffic; of the public service, including
the ino3t honorable places, prostituted to
the promotion oE the President's personal
ambitions; of a court converted into a
sanctuary for the protection of a scouu
drel; of judicial subserviency rewarded
with high judicial place; of debate sup
pressed in Congress; of a surplus squaa
derei, aud of tne enormous increase of
the people’s tax burdens that the pro
ceeds might flow into the coffers of
favored monopolists willing to share
their spoil with the political organization
that made its collection possible.
It is a grievous indictment that is here
made, but it is perfectly true and it
covers but a part of the truth. The
specifications will cone later in the
course of tnese letters, The facts mil
be given upon which every accusation
rests. The whole record will be laid
bare—that record whica the people by
their votes in November are to approve
or condemn.
And this is not a ra3re recalling of
old errors, a recurrence to offenses re
peated of. The courses that condemn
this Administration have been continuous,
ilium is still at the head of the Pension
Bureau, and that bureau is not reformed
or purified. Marshall Airey still holds
office in Baltimore, notwithstanding
Commissioner Roosevelt’s report as to
his organization of the postoffice and
Custom House employes there into a
band of political ruffians, his use of
thorn to carry primaries in the Adminis
trations interest by wholesale cheating
and by actual physical violence, itt which
he personally participated. Neither he
nor Postmaster Johnson nor any of their
suoordinates have been removed, though
their conduct was fully set forth and
their removal strongly urged by Mr.
Roosevelt, a Republican member of tne
Civil Service Commission; though some
o: them, according to Mr. Roosevelt’s
report, deliberately testified to lies;
thougu many of them openly confessed
to cncatiug; though all of them set at
naught the law against political assess
ments, and though they all professed
with more or less of candor the creed of
lying, cheating and ballot-box stuffing
which the testimony showed that they
had practiced.
These men who, as oue of them put it
in his testimony, believe “in doing any
thing to win,” are still in office by grace
of Mr. Wanamaker’s favor and Mr.
Harrison’s neglect of duty, Aud they
still constitute the Administration ma
caine in Baltimore and Maryland politics.
Iu brief, the Administration is what it
has been. It profits still by the practices
for which honest men in both parties
have condemned it in the past. It pro
tects its scoundrels and its law-breakers.
It keaps them iu office. It uses them in
politics. It sanctions their creeds and
their performances. It sent them and
such as them to Minneapolis to nominate
Mr. Harrison lor a second term in spite
of any desire the Republican Party might
have for some other candidate.
It still looks to the monopolies it ha 9
fostered for the money with which to
carry the election. In their behalf it
has not only made laws, but ha3 neglected
and refused to enforce such laws as there
are on. the statute books adverse to them.
Ihe coal conspiracy has been formed
during this Administration. Without le
or hindrance it has levied a tribute upon
t! e people in face of the aati-Trust law.
That law makes it the imperative duty
of the Attorney-General, through the
District Attorneys, to bring criminal
prosecutions against all the conspirators;
but no District Attorney has moved, and
the Attorney-General weakly protests
that he has no information touching the
conspiracy.
In the interest of good government it
is necessary to chastise official miscon
duct by defeat. The men and the party
now in power must be sent into retire
ment for the public good. Oar public
life is in need of disinfection. It is time
to restore legislation to its proper service
of all the people.
Toe simple facts of these four years’
history constitute the most conclusive
reasons for refusing to intrust this Ad
ministration or the party it represents
with a further lease of power. —New
