A Poor Kind of Reformer and Populist Reform Talks
A curdled critique targets Robert Schilling for debating saloon issues against Prohibitionist Helen Gougar. The piece condemns reformers who back liquor interests, cites Tillman’s rebuke of Senate courtesy, notes Ingalls’ absence at a Washburn speech, and highlights rising silver sentiment in Oswego County. It also questions McKinley tariff credit and promotes a Populist speaker for Indianapolis headquarters. Dr Brooks predicts a vast industrial strike that could upend the U.S. government within six months.
