Stamp within the eagle square, but not on the eagle. The. silver miners ring should be driven out of politics. Honesty is tha best policy for governments as well a. Icelividuals. Stamp your ballot only once. A second atamp will caue It to be thrown out. Smash the silver ring and send Anachists and Popocrat3 to the rear. Every man who la certain that panic will benefit him tbould vote for Bryan. The greediest and most selfish trust In the world Is that of the plutocratic silver-mine owners. No person who really loves and honors the flag would vote to dishonor It by reputation. Vote for Bryan and a panic, which, he avays. "I think will be followed by great prosperity." After to-morrow William Jennings Bryan yill bo open to engagement In some new occupation. MMHHHMMaWaMaWMS A Porocratlc banner boro the device: -"IS to 1 or bust." It should have read "1G to 1 and bust." ThU country is too larje to be controlled Ty a little clique of silver barons in rotten borough State. Popocracy is already killed, and It only remalrs to' do tho burying. That will bo ihe to-morrow. Do the people want four years more of free trade intensified by free Eilver? If so they should vote for Bryan. Tho United States government should tot bo administered for the sole benefit of a few silver mine owners. Any wage earner who suspects that he receives mora wages than he earns should ote for Bryan and the half-value dollar. If the election were confined to thoso States which have repudiated State debts, liryan would be elected by a large majority. There were more voters marching under the banner of cound money Saturday In the largo cities than there aro voters In the allver-producing States. No country ever got rich and prosperous "by hiring workmen In foreign countries to clo work which coldd be Uono as well or better by thoso at homo. Hon. Tom Watscn is very unhappy because he has not been put on the ticket with Bryan, but after to-morrow they will both be In the same boat. Not only is tho business and Industrial sense of the country hostile to Bryan Ism. but tho moral sense and patriotic impulse of tha American people are against it. With a wad of tho silver-mine owners money in their hands, tho Ioal Fopocratlc managers rhould have made a more imposing show than they did Saturday Slight. Bryan's talk about "the scarcity of money" is bosh. There was a great deal less money In the country in 1S02 than there is now, yet that was a year of high-tide prosperity. Th money which the Fopocratlc managers have received from tho silver-mine trust cannot help them much if the friends of souad-moncy are, alert. It will be worth ten thousand votes to tho Republicans to have 00 per cent, of their vote polled at 1 o'clock; SH'cause. there will then be ample time fcrJcolc"after the small number of absentees. This country is not great enough to raako Cfiy c?nta equal to one hundred cents by legislation, but .t is much too great a ccuntry to have for Its chief executive such a man us William J. Bryan. All the funds which the Popocrats receive for campaign purposes come lrom tie plutocratic silver-mine owners' trust. Not twenty prominent business men in Indiana havo contributed a dollar to tho Bryan campaign. The local Bryan organ says the Fopocratlc parade Saturday night was "a solid phalanx of Democracy many miles in length." It was not solid, it was not many ml!e in length, and it was composed of Populist', ifot Democrats. That committee of Popocrats who offer JiOO reward for tho conviction of any person violating the election law would not liavc been complete without the name of that incorruptible patriot and fearless reformer, 1Z. C. liusklrk. The Morton memorial services yesterday were attended by a lurRe and deeply interCited audience. Tho address of Major HalXord wus an appreriatlv conception of the reat jservice of the man who&o.nama la linked not only with that oi IndtanA In a

great struggle, but occupies a prominent place In the list of the names of the score of men most prominent and useful during a that momentous period. BaaamBBMMaaMMBBaBMBaaaaiBMaaaaaaBB THE (iHOL.M) OP ASSURANCE.

The assurance of Republican success In tho Nation to-morrow is based upon the unprecedented zeal cf tho friends of national supremacy, law and order and sound money during the campaign. There has never been such widespread activity and earnestness in a political campaign aB there has been this year. Men who have in the past taken a moderate Interest In presidential campalgTLS on opposite sides find themselves working together with a zeal and purpose never before witnetjsed. This is due to the fact that all the business and Industrial interests and all the conservative and moral forces in tho country find themsolves forced to unite against a combination which threatens to Involve the Unlttsd States In a financial panic and tho destruction of those safeguards which aro essential to tho peace and welfare of the country. While it is true that tho canvass made by Republicans and sound-money men. by commercial associations and Independent newspapers shows the certainty of the election of Major McKInley, the fact that all the potential moral, business and productive forces in the country are arrayed against Bryanism Is hufficlent basis for the assurance which exists of the buccess of the Republican presidential candidate. It must be added that this emphasis is b isetl upon the assumption that all day tomorrow, from the opening of the polls until they close, every man who has taken an interest in the light upon Bryanism will spare no effort to secure every vote possible for the Republican ticket. There must be no letting up in tho last and most important hours cf a battle upon which depends to largely tho prosperity of this country. Because victory seems so certain let no one fall Into the delusion that tho failure of one or two men in a precinct to vote will be a matter of no consequence. There is no sort , of reasonable figuring which does not glvo Indiana to McKInley by a substantial majority, but all estimates are based upon the individual faithfulness and zeal of all who aro opposed to all that Bryanlsm Involves. MR. BIIVAVS ADMISSION. In a recent letter to the New York Journal, owned by a silver mine millionaire, Mr. Bryan has at last clearly admitted that he has been misleading the people by declaring that free silver coinage would give the silver dollar tho intrinsic value of gold. "If you take the purchasing power of the dollar Itwill be less" are the words ho uses in that letter. Thus he declares that the change which he proposes is to subtract from the value of every dollar. What is the meaning of that admission cf Mr. Bryan? It moans that H.COO.000 men and women who work for wages and who are constant creditors of their employers are to have their wages diminished by a sort of petty theft from week to week, year after year, by means of a dollar of less purchase power than they are now receiving. It means that 5,000,000 depositors In savings banks are to be paid in dollars of less purchasing power than those they have deposited, and that the borrowers, who are generally men of larger property than the depositors, are to have the gain. It means that the more than 2.000,000 shareholders in building and loan associations are to have a portion of their savings taken away by being paid in dollars of less purchase power. It means that 3,000,000 depositors in commercial banks, trusts and investment companies are to be paid back in dollars of less value than they deposited. It means that tho 4,000,000 holders of life insurance policies are to have the provision which they have made for their families depreciated by payment In dollars of less value than those in which they have been paying the premiums on their policies for years. It means that the pittances paid as pensions to 900,000 old soldiers and their widows arc to be reduced by payment in dollars of less purchase power. Here are nearly thirty millions of people whom Mr. Bryan confesses will be robbed by the policy which he advocates. And these thirty millions of people are to be robbed simply that a few .hundred mine owners who are very rich, and a few thousands of speculators who are not so rich, may have an ' opportunity to double, their wealth or to become rich. Stiil, Mr. Bryan continues to denounce greedjr plutocrats! BRYAN AND ALTGELD. Whether John P. Altgeld shall bo reelected Governor of Illinois to-morrow or not there is no doubt whatever that. If Bryan should be elected President. Altgeld would be the power behind the throne and a potential factor In the administration. He could be In Bryan's Cabinet if he wished to be. or, if ha preferred, he could have a seat on the Supreme Bench. If it suited his future plans better no to accept any official position he would still bo one of Bryan's most confidential advisers and would probably have more influence over him than any other man in the country. It would be an Altgeld administration, and Altgeldism, with all the word implies, would be the dominant spirit of the party in power. Bryan has repeatedly expressed his admiration of Altgeld, as the latter also has of him, and has said in several of his speeches in Illinois that he hoped -the people would give Altgeld as large a vote as they gave himself. In view of these facts it is important to inquire what bort of man Altgeld is. To begin with, he has strong anarchistic sympathies and tendencies. 'Before his election as Governor ho expressed strong indignation at the conviction of the liayraarket Anarchists, and when ho became Governor he pardoned them. He is by heredity un-Amcrlcun In his feelings. A foreigner by birth, he has inherited a temperamtnt end tendencies essentially un-American. Ono who knows him well says: "I do not know where he was bora, but he impresses me as a man arising through his ancestry out of the social and political conditions of southeastern Kurope. lie has that iersonal appearance, and ho evinces their traits in ail he says and does." His pub.lc teccrd goes to show that he is not in sympathy with American Ideas and methods. Ills insulting letter to President Cleveland denying his rljjht to enforce, the laws of the United Stated in Illinois showed that he did not truly understand the form of government and that he was in sympathy with the lawless and ararchbtlc eiements.. His hatred of Cleveland Is of that intense kind which men of his stamp feel toward thoso who have defied them or thwarted their plans. Ho drafted tho plank In the Chicago platform which virtually censures Mr. Cleveland for enforcing the laws, and protests against "governinent by Injunction." though as a lawyer lutgeld knows that tho writ of injunction U frequent, harmies and be neGclai process of law. His anarchistic ha lure

crops out furtlwr in his political methods. Though himself an educated man, all his efforts are directed to making himself solid with tho lower and ignorant classes of society. This is because he thinks they are the more numerous class, or at least that they hold the balance of power, and what he wants is votes. United States District Judg) Grosscup said in an interview published a few days ago: -He looks upon society as a pyramid, broad nt tho bottom and narrow at the apex. Hitherto political parties have divided this pyramid on vertical llr.es; the Governor divides it by a horizontal line In tho belief that the cubic quantity In the lower strata wih greatly exceed that of the upper. Tho Governor Is after votes, and the social cubic quantity in our system of universal suffrage Is expresod in votes. These people think they gee in this campaign a justification of their belief. For it was through his influence more than that of any one elne that the people are polltlcaly arrayed against each otner. strata against strata, lrxtead of vertical column against column. With such views as these the fact that Altgeld is educated, able, persistent, ambitious and rich makes him all the more dangerous. That ho is ah insincere man Is shown by the fact, notorious and not denied, that while advocating free silver he makes his private contracts payable in ' gold. He favors free silver for other people beacuse ho thinks, or did at the beginning of tho campaign, that it is a winning card, but at heart he Is a gold-standard man. A man who would resort to such means to get votes and power is at heart dishonest. But what makes him dangerous is his un-Amcr-icanism and sympathy for anarchismWit h Bryan for President and Altgeld the power behind tho throne the best traditions of our government would be overthrown and Bianbm and Altgeidism would become securely Intrenched. Of tho lying reports which the Sentinel has printed, not tho least is that of the employes of the Eldridge planing mill declaring as falso the statement to the effect that the proprietor told them that they would be expected to turn out in the Republican parade. These employes put their names to a paper declaring that tho statement is false. Some of them may be Bryan men, but if they are they must hold the party organ in contempt which would create bad feeling between them and their employer. That, however. Is but one of many of the efforts of the Sentinel to create dissensions between employer and employe. Several of the large employers of labor in this city and vicinity have been singled out for criticism In connection with their attitude towards their employes. To get votes the Sentinel has been eager to create ill will between the men who are employed and those who employ. Its slander upon tho manufacturers In Muncle was so unjust that the chairman of the Democratic county committee made haste to disclaim it, but the Sentinel refused to publish tho denial of the manufacturers. The Sentinel -must know that the course it has pursued was intended to place several extensive employers of labor in bad repute with tho labor of the State and generally create jealousies between the two Interests, who must be In accord to secure the best results for both. The Sentinel can excuse itself on the ground that it has been the policy of the Bryans, the Altgelds and other leaders of tho Fopocratlc party to array labor against those who employ It, and that, a3 a Bryan organ. It must carry out the party policy. That, however, will not prove a valid excuse to the mass of men who regard it3 course as designed to cause mischief. Papers from all the prominent cities state that as soon as it shall be known that McKInley Is elected the wholesale and jobbing houses will send cut their travelers to solicit orders, assured that such an event will re-establish confidence and make a demand for merchandise. In some lines of industry the managers have beCn holding back for months, but it is asserted that with a Hound-money success factories will start up, affording employment to many who are now idle. All as confidently assert that there will be a further closing down if Bryan should be elected, and all business will be dead. Itls not that these men are Republicans that such predictions are made, since a large part of the prominent business men holding these views have been life-long Democrats. It does not seem that men who have their own Interests at stake can bring themselves to throw them away for the sake of voting for Bryan. There are persons who have been so lost to the sense of decency as to compare Bryan with Lincoln. Lincoln never preached the heresy of hate. Lincoln never made classes. To a delegation of worklngmen who visited him in 14, Lincoln said: That some may be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is Just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself; thus, by example, assuring that his own will be safe from violence when built. Contrast the above with the following declaration of Bryan in ono of his speeches delivered Oct. 16: On one side you find the capitalistic class and on the other sidtt you nnd the struggling masses. They do. in time of peace produce the wealth and pay the taxes of tho country, and In time of war they are the only people who save the Nation. And yet these struggling masses are despised and spit upon In time of ieace, and the ldla holders of capital, instead of letting them make the laws when there is peace, make the laws, and when there is war they appeal to the struggling masses to offer up their lives to save their property. Why do alleged labor leaders like Debs and Sovereign go about the country advocating the cause of the silver mining trust? Are they unmindful of the fact that the longest and bitterest struggles between capital and labor have been between the silver mine owners and organized labor working in .the mines? The same number of men have never had so many conflicts with labor as the silver mine owners. The 'only real struggle that Is now pending In the country Is letween mining companies in Colorado and ttelr employes. Only a few week3 ago the companies not only had the State's troops called out, but martial law was proclaimed, suspending the Jurisdiction cf the civil courts and making a board of military officers the dispenser of Justice. The Jourual desires to be fair toward the Sentinel; therefore It apologizes for charging that the double-column articles which have appeared In that paper from time to time contained such rldlculouj falsehood? that the Sentinel shou!d not print them. The Journal Is Informed that the matter has been furnished by the literary bureau of the mine owners' trust and printed, presumably, as advertisements. Bryan's answer to the New York Journal's question whether tho purchasing power of the worklngman's wages would decrease under free silver ought to lose him thousands of votes. He says: "If you take the purchasing power of a single dollar, it will be less." This is a fatal admission for his cause. It concedes the most vital point in tho case, viz.. that under free silver the purchasing power of the dollar would be

decreased. Bryaa qualifies the admission by saying that worklngmen would have more work and better wages, but that Is only conjecture. A decrease In the purchasing power of the dollar would affect every wtge earner, every salaried man, every pensioner and every person who depends in whole or in part on a fixed Income for a livelihood. Mark Bryan's words: "If you take the purchasing power cf a single dollar it will bo less." The Republican parade Saturday night was. beyend comparison, the largest and most Impressive political demonstration that has ever occurred in the city. In numbers, enthusiasm, variety of interests represented and fraternization of all classes in support of a common cause and common Interests it has never been approached by any previous de monstration, nor was it by the Popocrat parade Saturday night. The slgniHcance of the demonstration was unmistakable. It meant that this city a-.d county will give an unprecedented majority for McKInley and sound money. It meant that an overwhelming majority of the voters of Irnllanapolib are opposed to Bry-' anism and Altgeldlsnv to repudiation and fiat money, and that they will so declare to-morrow by tho moat emphatic verdict they have ever rendered in any election. waaMMMaaMaMaaMaiaaiMaaBWMaaBa Tho assertion that the Fopocratlc committee has received a considerable sum of money from the dispensers of the silvermine trust which has undertaken to purchase a presidential elections is not a campaign "scare." The information comes from the most direct and reliable source. Tho Fopocratlc organization contains men who have so little faith In its cause that they are quite willing to see It defeated. These men are very hear to men who are now opposed to Bryanlsm.'--It is by this means that the fact of the sending of money to this State by the agents of the silver mine "combine" ; lias come to the Journal. It cannot do much harm now, because it will go .'nto 'the hands of men many of whom wlil not let it go out of their own pockets except for their own use. A gold basis has existed in this country for sixty years, except as modified by conditions of war and vicious coinage practices. During this time the country has enjoj-ed periods of the greatest prosperity it has ever known and. tho national wealth has increased beyond computation. Now the people are asked by their decree at tho polls to change the basis of values cn which the wealth, resources and business interests of the United States have been built during this long period for a basl3 which Is the synonym for poverty in all countries h?re It exists. To do so would show that they are unfit for self-government.

The stamp Is the. thing with which the voter declares his inUr.Uon. To vote a straight Republican. ticket, stamp ence only and wholly within the, large square surrounding the eagle ut the top of the ticket, and nowhere else. ' Now that tho Fopocratlc committee has money with which to buy votes. Republican election officers sfioW direful ly .ucan the rooster to see if there aro not secret maik3 to indicate to Popocrats cn the board that the man purchased has voted as ho agreed and Is entitled to his bribe. The end of a spur may be removed or a dot made somewhere about the ticket' to Indicate that the voter has kept his promise. Th nan who vote for McKInley to-mcr-row is sure that no panic will follow his election. Tho man who yot 23. for Bryan has the opinion of Bryan, 'of the Sentinel and tho business world that , Bryan's election will be followed by a panic. Will any sensible wage earner take "such a risk as voting for Bryan and loss of employment? Think of it. ' - - In 1S93 we Imported : f2.500.000 worth of ccal, the pay for mining which went into foreign pockets. There are Inexhaustible deposits of coal In the United States waiting to be mined, and an army of miners who ought to have more steady employment and higher wages. Why should we have a tariff law that' encourages the Importation of coal? The Muncie Times says there are seven suits before justices of the peace In that city for the possession of rented property, and in each case the plaintiff landlord is a Popocrat and the tenant a Republican. It Is thought to be a systematic atempt to deprive the Republicans of. their votes by making them change their residence before the election. Let every friend of sound money who can possibly do o go to the polls early tomorrow and remain' as t long as he can, that tho cause may have the support of his moral Influence. They should not Indulge In wordy disputes, but they can fairly use their influence with the wavering voter who might vot for Bryan. The Chicago Record and News, which have been neutral on the money question all the campaign, doing rather more for the silver-mine owners than for sound money, have both come out unequivocally against the sliverltes. The. publisher Is satisfied that McKInley will win; hence th declaration. Bryan says the debtor should fix the money In which the creditor should be paid, thereby Implying that It 'is the tight of every debtor to pay in depreciated currency. He believes In the sacred right of every man to be dishonest. Every employer Of labor Is a debtor to his workmen at the end of every week or month. If this class of debtors should avail themselves of tho' right to pay their debts in Bryan fifty-cent dollars wage earners would discover that freo silver did not benefit them. Those who desire, a week hence, the sure prospect of larger employment and quickened business must vote for McKInley. These who would have the factories dosing and panic in business a week hence, will make no mistake in voting for Bryan. There has never been a time when prosperity was not the foe of the thing called Bryanlsm. It only appears in seasons of Industrial depression, and it slinks out of sight when prosperity prevails. There are no great industrial exhibits in the Bryan processions, for the reason that Bryanlsm stands for wur between capital and labor and for Industrial paralysis. When Bryan said that free coinage" would 'decrease tho purchasing power of a Jollar" he gavo notice to millions oX pedpU

if.

that if they vote for him they will vote for what amounts to a decrease of -wages, of pensions, of tho value of savings-bank deposits and the building and loan association stock.

It was entirely fitting that at a meeting held on Sunday In the Interest of Boy Orator Bryan ono of the speakers should declare that revolution would follow the defeat of the Nebraska man. This speaker Is a man of no Importance, but his utterance was received with applause, which shows the Incendiary spirit that animates many of Bryan's followers, who have been wrought up to thl3 point by their candidate's Inflammatory harangues In which he tries to array class against class. There are a great many people whom even a threat of revolution will not drive to the support of Bryan. The Fopocratlc managers in this city collected a large audience in Tomllnson Hall last night to listen to Mr. Debs. Mr. Debs was rot there, but some unknown Populist was present to preach the lesson of hate. When the real Democrats of Indianapolis directed the affairs of the Democratic party a Sunday night campaign meeting would not have been held. it is not likely that any votes will be made in Indianapolis by holding political meetings on Sunday, addressed by men who threaten revolution if Bryan is not elected. It Isn't that sort of a town. Not one Democrat of national reputation has been In this State to speak for Bryan. Instead of well-known Democrats the managers have sent Populists and silver mine Republicans. The Ship of State. Day by day. the vessel grew.

Louis Klmmell, who has been several times chosen Mayor of Lafayette, but who for some years has been a resident of Washington, where ho held a government position until Mr. Cleveland's civil servico turned him out (being an ardent Republican), Is home from a tour through Nebraska and other States, where he had b?en making speeches in favor of Mciviniey. Mr. Kimmell Is confident Nebraska will not give her electoral vote to Bryan, and his opinion was based not upon what others said, but what he could learn from a personal observation. In the City of Lincoln he said ho saw comparatively no Bryan portraits; and cne lilaveute man, wno is in ousiuess there, said to him, when he spoke of the absence of these evidences of popularity In the candidate's own home, that he thought he would be perfectly safe in offering to pay a reward for the discovery of a business man In Lincoln who was supporting Mr. Bryan's candidacy with heart.

COUNTING OF THE VOTES. In Recent Elections There Han Be Little Fraud in Nevr York. Emeat Ingersoll, In the Century. The counting of the votes has n In the past more fruitful of trickery and falsification than any other part of the election process. In li?3 the- canvassers in certain districts reducel the matter to its lowest terms by simply reporting h unanimous vote on their sule and then going out to fling up their hats for the rest of the night. In the subsequent election competent and Incorruptible men supervised the canvass pa strictly that the percentage of fraud was so small, if any existed, as never to bo heard of. This watching at the count not only prevented Intentional lying, but saved a-.cidental mistakes. In one case the board Oi Inspectors confessed thev did not know how to count the votes, and submitted entirely to tho guidance of a well-informed watcher. The counting Is done in public, and U often an interesting sight. Every organization and each candidate may Kend a representative to observe it. though nobody but the inspectors is permitted to touch the ballots. The straight tickets are first counted In tens by the four men In succession, tuid ; tally is kept by at least two assistants. Each man Is credited with a? many votes as there are tickets for his side. Then ona Inspector rends off those tickets which are L' or havo Passers attached, or upon which names have been erased or new names written and each candidate is credited with a vote every time his name appears. hen this Is finished the most prominent orlice Is taken up and the sum of the votes for each candidate is ascertained. Prayn for McKInley. Philadelphia Record. ,rTl!er? Probably no more enthusiastic ilcKinlejite in all this town than an old woman who sells the evening pair at Eighth and Market street . The old woman Is something of a tyrant. She insists upon monopoMzing all four corners of the Intersecting streets, and all the small bovs who attempt to compete with her Fhe fiercely attacks and drives away. In the morning the stands at Ninth and Vine streets, not making her npiarance on Market street until the evening papers begin to appear. She is very energetic and her clientele is largo. She geinraUv stands upon the southwest corner of Eighth and Market streets, end this is how fchc announces her wares: O Lord! hear my prayer. O Lord! hear my prayer. O Lord: hear mv prayer. And put McKInley in the chafr! itJefta.l?TTe,ec7"al,h' I,uetln. Star. Call and all the evening papers. Dubois' Fight. Washington Special. A special dispatch from Boise, Idaho, predicts the election of a Dubois Legislature. There are seventy-five members of both branches ard the claim Is made that Dubois is certain of fifty, with a fightln-r chance for ten more. The greatest campaign in the history of Mountain State politics Is being fought in Idaho. Senator Dubois arrived home from Chicago last summer to find himself "licked." the pins having been laboriously set up on him by his political rival. Senator Shoup. Th light he has been making ever since Is similar in many respects to the famous antl-ccmblne struggle waged a year ago in Pennsylvania, when Quay won a most notable vlotory against overwhelming odds. . A 3IelancboI' Spectacle. Detroit Free Press. Conservative opinions of th Bryan raid in Chicago agree that it lias been a melancholy spectacle. A series of efforts o fr nzled yet so untruthful has touched older and calmer men with something of compassion. They agree that a candidate for the first office In the land never worked k hard before and accomplished so little For all the multitudes that have cheered and stared along the avenues; for all the throngs that have filled auditoriums, butteries, halls, tent nnd armories; for all the women that have fainted and floral horseshoes that have been presented: for all the fine phrases and desperate appeals there Is no evidence that Mr. Brvan leaves Chicago a vote stronger than when he Invaded the city. Never Once. Phlladelplda RecordBy a careful count the Boy Orator has made upward of live hundred speeches containing more than a million word, slnco he entered upon this cruade to overthrow the existing standard of value; vet In all this wilderness of palaver he has not once told the worklngmen of this country how they could be benefited by the payment of their wages in a cheap and adulterated silver currency. We are now within four days of the election and the American worklngmen would like to know, as a matter of curiosity, what Mr. Bryan really thinks on this question. Let him for once snake a clean breast of It, Speeches That Tell. Philadelphia Press. Ex-President Harrison's vigorous and effective speeches in Indiana have strengthened the Reimbllcan cause in that State. His addresses carry the weight of strong conviction and great sincerity, cojpled with the skillful use of language expressed with eloquence and power. The Republican ticket has been well served by distinguished and able speakers In this campaign, while Bryan has been left for the moM part to the resources of his own verbosity, with what minor lights unknown to fame who have thought it worth while to tender their services to the cause of free silver. Pessimism. Washington Star. ' "Wheat's purty high," said the postmaster. "I've noticed it," replied farmer Corntos"It's quite er B'prl?c." "Not ter me." - "You mean ter say you thought 'twas goln up?" "Yep." "Whut made ye?" "Didn't raise none." Bryan' Uorrotred Metaphor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Duncan B. Harrison, the author-actor, suggests that Bryan probably "absorbed'1 his "crown of thorns" and "cross of gold" phrases from the old play of "Jack Cad.', the Bondman of Kent." In which Edward Eddy used to appear. One of the speeches of the hero of the piece Is as follows: "Upon the brow of toll thou chalt not press the crown of thorn; and the bondmen of the soil shall not bo crucified upon Mammon's cross." Mr. IleverldaTe'a Speech. Chicago Tribune. Mr. Beverldge Is still a young man. and we believe this was his Ilrbt appearance In a political campaign, but it will not be his last. He has everything in his favoryouth, enthusiasm, facility, reasoning power, magnetism and eloquence. Every on should read this great speech. The campaign has brouRht out several young and new speakers, and among them Mr. Beverldge takes a high. If not the highest place. "Coerced. Philadelphia Record. On of the biggest concerns In Erie county. New York, has hung up the following placard: "Any employe of this concern who does not vote uk he p eases will be discharged." Here Is another case of coercion which may afford Mr. Harrison a chance to build up his law practice. Few Illiterate Germans. Buffalo Courier. The extraordinary statement H made that out of :i.3) German Immigrants recently landed In New York there were only 410 Illiterates. No other country lu thn world, not even the United States, could probably make so good a showing under similar circumstances. A Sign. Philadelphia Telegraph. "Betting is no argument." but all the same there Is no "Bryan money" In sight. Odds of five to one on McKInley are offered by the unregencrated who will bvt when they can, but there are no takers. Doesn't Realise. Chicago Post. When Bryan 3s that the agitation for free sliver will be kept up after his defeat he shows that he doesn't realize how overwhelming his defeat is tfolnc to be. Their Meu. New York Evening Sun. The Popocrats seem to think that If a man held that two und two mad five, and yott convinced hint ttiat they made four, that would be coercion. TItey Rebounded.
