Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 August 1894 — A Party of Pure Negative. [ARTICLE]

A Party of Pure Negative.

Ex-Speaker Tom Reed strikes very close to the inner heart of the situation when he says: “The history of the last year must have been a bitter disappointment to many good men, who, not satisfied_Lwitk_al reasonam good government. sought to find a future better than the past by throwing themselves into the hands of a party which was and is the creation of pure opposition, a party which has never been for anything in particular, but? simply against everything in general. How these men could have hoped for anything but the dismal result which now darkens the country they are probably at this moment asking themselves with more of anger than of sorrow.”
