Nothing in a Name.
Robert T. Lincoln is adver­
tised by the republicans as a
counter attraction to Eugene
V. Debs to speak at Duluth,
Wednesday night, Oct. 21.
The plutocratic managers
who control the republican
party—for which Mr. Lincoln
will speak—are the legitimate
descendents—gome of them in
blood, all of them in sentiments
and purpose—of the gold gam­
blers of Wall street who sym­
pathized with and encouraged
the rebellion in order to prolong
the war and enrich themselves
by the necessities of the gov­
ernment and at the sacrifice of
i'
thfc blood of the men who wore
the blue.
Those of us who remember
that Mr. Lincoln's worthv fath
er once said when referring to
those gold gamblers--the pre­
decessors of the present gold
bug gang that controls the re­
publican party—ikI wish evety
one of them had his devilish
head shot off"—will appreci­
ate the fact that there is such a
thing as the "degenerate son of
an illustrious sire."
Mr. Lincoln is now in the ser­
vice of the same interests that
sought bv every possible means
(o haiiass his father in his
great work, the gang that
stirred up the draft riots in the
north, that shipped smallpox
infected clothing to Union hos­
pitals, and that made it neces­
sary to gariison New York city
with troops sorely needed at
the front. He is working for
the political successors of the
northern copperheads.
Debs Coming.
Next to the coming of Bryan,
the most important event of
the campaign will be the ap­
pearance of Eugene V. Debs at
the car barn Wednesday even­
ing, October 21.
There is no man in the coun­
try connected with organized
labor that commands the re­
spect and admit ation of work
ingmen more than Eugene V.
Debs. His name is a synonym
for enthusiasm. Coupled as it
is with the most outrageous
and tyrannical attack by pluto­
cracy upon the rights of the
common people—the right of
trial by jury—that has been
witnessed on this continent
since the reign of George III,
every man in Duluth who ap­
preciates the struggle for cent­
uries by the English speaking
races for the establishment of
constitutional rights, will greet
Mr. Debs as a champion of
liberty worthy of the utmost
consideration. After the meet­
ing at the car barn organized
labor will hold a reception for
thier distinguished guest at the
St. Louis Hotel.
The LABOR WORLD acknow­
ledges a pleasant call from Mr.
Peter Witt, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr. Witt is stumping the state
in the interest of free silver and
Brvan.
