Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 September 1894 — Still Coming Over. [ARTICLE]

Still Coming Over.

Abandonment of the free trade fallacy is everywhere noted. The Democratic Press of Newton, 111., announced that its former editor would make democratic speeches in the county and the announcement brought out the following card:

Newton, 111., Sept. 12.—T0 the Editor of the Mentor —In the late issue of the Press, in the column of announcements of meetings by the campaign management, appears the following: “Judge Jas. W. Gibson, will make a number of speeches, although assignments have not yet been made." Will you kindly permit me space in which to correct any erroneous impression in the public mind which might be created by the foregoing notification? I do not see my way clear to support a political organization whpse labor at tariff reforming and through a painfully protracted session of Congress has culminated in an act of legislation properly characterized by President Cleveland as constituting

party perfidy and party dishonor, and as I have no present intention of voting'the democratic ticket, I shall not advise my friends and neighbors to do so. Very Respectfully,

JAMES W. GIBSON.
