Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 November 1893 — “Minority Rule." [ARTICLE]
“Minority Rule."
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Wife (reading)—What does the paper mean by abusing minority rule? What is that? Husband —Did you ever see a big bully abusing a smaller boy? “Certainly.” “And the little fellow got him down?” “Um-huh!” “And stood on him and walked over him and thumped him?" “Y-e-s. The big calf!” “And the big fellow knew he was wrong and was afraid to fight back?” “Yes.” “And the little fellow had it all his own way because he was right?” “Yes.” “That’s minority rule!”
