Is Jarvis a partisan or statesman
Governor Jarvis is depicted as a partisan politician, aligning with party aims over silver policy. The writer argues he will divide silver supporters for party harmony, lacks true statesmanship, and labels him a demagogue, warning of predictable partisan tactics and Wall Street influence. The piece contrasts Jarvis with genuine principled leadership and notes muddled loyalties within the fusion and silver factions.
