Announcements of Candidates. FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE. The Hon. U. Z WILEY having been nominated for Appellate Judge, some lawyer of the Circuit will probably Ire promoted to the bench. We are authorized to announce that Simon P. Thompson of our city, a member of the bar for Over thirty years and a man well known to the people of the circuit is willing to become the Republican candidate for that honor.

The New York San has declared for McKinley and says: “From now until the night of election day in Nov. 1896, the presidential candidate of every democrat who favors honest money and who still hopes to crush the enemies of the fundamental principles he was bred in should be, without hesitation, evasion or sop to prejudice, William McKinley." County Chairman Ferguson has issued a call to the Republican county central committee to meet at the Rensselaer opera house, Friday, August 31 st, at 2 o’clock P. M. There should be a full attendance of the committee, as very important business will come up for consideration. At 3 o’clock p. M., the same day, and at the same place, Hon. W. S. Kenworthy, of lowa, will address the people upon the political issues, from the Republican standpoint It was just such preaching as that of Ashby, the former Rebel and present Anarchist, which caused the attempted Debs insurrection in 1894. And it is just the kind of preaching that unless it be at once and overwhelmingly sat down upon by the American people at the polls, will certainly before many years, plunge this country into a civil war, a bloody revolution, the end of which, short of the destruction of the very in-

stitutions of our government, no man can foresee. Notin the days before the great, rebellion did men preach doctrines and principles more calculated to stir up inextinguishable hatreds among our people, and to create war and bloodshed, than does this Ashby now. Menlike him are public enemies. They are traitors, no* only to. the country, but to civilization itself.

There is lots of gold and silver in the country, and millions of paper dollars’ as good as either. What the people want is not more money but a chance to work and

’earn the dollars now out'of reach. They want protection to open up the workshops of the land, to start the machinery, and build up a good home market, where men are able to pay fair prices for everything they need. Making Mexican or American silver into American dollars won’t give them employment. It won’t start a spindle in all the land. There scarcity of money. It to-day goes a-begging at from 3 to 6 per cent, and finds comparatively few takers.—Inter Ocean.

The progress which the negroes of this country. have made since the war, in education and the accumulation of wealth and in spite of all the obstacles that have been in their way, is one of the most marvellous facts of the age. Yet Ashby, the ex-slaveholder arid unreconstructed Rebel of Texas, say the negroes now are ten times worse off than they were before they were freed. He added further, that forty million white people in this country are still worse off than the Negroes. What an infamous statement. And what an unspeakable shame that people living right here in this patriotic enlightened and prosperous community, are found who endorse and encourage this man Ashby in his crusade for universal discontent and hatred, and final revolution and anarchy.

People who use the world’s money have to use it as the world uses it; and value it as the world values it. Gold and silver are the world’s money, and no one nation, however rich or however powerful, can put a greater value upon one as compared with the other, than the world gives them. Whenever any nation attempts this the metal which is attempted to be undervalued, will go to other nations where it is not undervalued, and the overvalued metal only will remain. If our nation attemps to make 50 cents worth of silver worth as much as a hundred cents worth of gold; then gold, as the undervalued metal, will be withdrawn from circulation and sent to countries where it is not undervalued ; or what is not sent to other countries will be hoarded and handled as merchandise; while silver, the metal which isovervalued, will become the sole and only metal money of the country, and that too at the value which the world gives it. And all this in spite of any amount of demagogical rhetoric about our country being large enough and rich enough tp have a monetary-system, regardless of the rest of the world.

Never since 1860 has there been such a bolt from any party as there is now from the Democrats. Already more than 100 of the leading Democratic papers have come out in opposition to the Chicago platform and candidates. The following is a partial list of these papers, and it shows that the bolt is by no means confined to the east, but extends all over the country, east, west, north and south.

Father Endeavor Clark verses Anarchist Ashby.

Stump Ashby says that 70 per cent, of the American people' are dependent, are “paupers.” He used those very words. He says that more people here are poor, ~msre~Sfe homeless than in any other country on earth. That our American people are the worst off of any people on earth. What monstrous, what wicked, what infamous lies! They are the exact opposite of the truth in every particular. Even at this day, in spite of the hard times resulting primarily from fear of and partial realization of Democratic free trade; and secondarily from agitation for a debased money system; even now, we repeat, the American people are the best off of any people on earth. More of them are independent, more of them own their farms, more ..of them own their houses, more of them Command the comforts of life, in proportion, than in any other country on earth. • “The American people the worst off of any people!” Ashby says. Compare them again with the people of Mexico. Our nearest neighboring nation, and, next to China, the free silver country, par excellence. In this connection, which will you believe: This Ashby, this unknown agitator, this unreconstructed Rebel, this unrepentant slaveholder; or Rev. Francis E. Clark, the universally known. and universally respected founder and president of the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor? A society, by the way, that in Its wonderful growth, and in its earnest work for the spread of the Christian religion, and the promotion of all good and noble virtues, gives the lie -to one 'of Ashby’s most infamous statements: Namely that the younger generation of Americans are growing up in irreligion and infidelity. But which will yOU believe? Will you believe Ashby, or will you believe Clark? Last Thursday, the very day when Ashby was hero uttering his infamous, his disloyal, his anarchistic libels on the American people, The Republican quoted from the New York Independent some extracts from Rev Francis Clark’s description of the condition of the common people of Mexico, and which he had just witnessed with his own eyes. These extracts will bear repetition: Here they are. Read them again. See what the condition of the common people of free silver Mexico really is; and compare the statements of the truly great and good man, Rev. -Clark with those of this irresponsible blatherskite Ashby. Mr. Clark says: “The silver of prosperous Mexico has not as yet found its way to any great extent into the pockets of the poor people. Wages are evidently on the highest sort of gold basis. • A number of my friends told me that they pay their cooks about five dollars a month, about one-quarter the price of such labor in the States. In the conn* try districts an able-bodied man earns six dollars (Mexican) a month (three dollars American) and his board; while a fair day’s wages in the city or country for a

laboring man is fifty cents (Mexican).” ‘‘Nowhere are beggars more numerous, op squalor and wretchedness more in evidence than in prosperous Mexico. The railway stations are thronged with almost naked children, holding out grimy hands, while their pitful and monotonous wail “Centavos,” “Centavos,” reminds one of the •‘Backsheesh, ’’ ‘‘Blacksheesh,” of Egypt and Syria, Indeed, the condition of the common people seems not one whit, better than of .the fellahin of Egypt /or the pariniis of India.”

All Turn To McKinley.

“High above the angry clouds which fill the political sky with flashing portents of chaos and 'disaster, the character of William McKinley rises calm, and majestic, the pledge of honesty and order to the people of this Nation. Serene amidst the alarms of demagogues, steadfast as a star against the aimless currents of passion, and sustained by the unfaltering trust of his fellow patriots m the cause of truth and right, this modest, sincere, manly statesman of Ohio presents an inspiring example of the sturdy, loyal and heroic citizenship which stands like an invincible barrier to guard this government from the incendiaries and anarchists who have banded for its destruction. With a personal career which sublimely illustrates the might of honest manhood, with a public record which testifies to the conquering force of patriotic purposes fearlessly pursued and as the standard bearer in a cause which seeks, no meaner object than the vindication of American honor before all the world, William McKinley at this hour towers above the furies of faction, above the rivalries of sections and the contention of individuals like a beacon of hope, lighting the way to the safe harbor of national honesty, unity and peace.”

From Free Silver Honduras.

The following clipping from an Oakland, Jll., paper, showing the wretched wages; from 18. to 25 cents of our money, .which Hondurian’ laborers receive, is a good commentary on Stump Ashby’s assertion that the American people are the most poverty stricken on earth. The persons mentioned in the clipping are well known and their standing vouched fir by our townsmen, J. W. Burgett. Following is the clipping: C. E. Tihimons, formerly of Oakland, Knff who went from Perris, Cali,, to Honduras, where last February he and a friend purchased a coffee plantation, writes thus to C. E. Williams, of the labor and financial situation in that beautiful free silver country: “We pay, in the interior, from thirty-seven and a half to fifty cents a day for a man, ana give him his rations, also; but, as that is in Honduranean money, and we can buy S2OB of that with a SIOO draft, on New York, you can see 1 bat. wages are low.” Here is an object lesson for our free-silver-crazy Democratic laboring friends. It is but another illustration of the condition that prevails in all Jree siver countries, and which will prevail in this country if the free-silver fanatics are allowed to have, their way. If you want to be classed with the pauper laborers of China, Mexico, and all other free-silver countries, just put in your time from now until election day in working for the Democratic party and platform.

Men for Bryan’s Cabinet.

Utica (N. Y.) Observer: He;e are some of the loudest of the supporters of Bryan and Sewall. Johann Most, the Anarchist; Gen. Coxey, the leader of the ragamuffin army; ex Gov. Waite of Colorado, of bloody bridles fame; ex-Gov. Pennoyer of Oregon, who refused to meet a visting President of the United States on the ground that the Governor of Oregon was a bigger man officially; Jo Sibley, a millionaire, who jumped into fame by making a scurrilous attack on President Cleveland in the House of Representatives, and who has not been elected to any office since; Benjamin Tillman of the foul tongue who sits in the seat of John C. Calhoun in the United States Senate; Gov. Altgeld, the pardoner of Anarchists and the foe of order; Senator Peffer of Kansas; Eugene Debs, who led deluded followers into the most disastrous labor conflict that this country ever saw, Shall the destinies of this republic be in trusted to such as these?

■Where Robert Parker Stands.

Ed. Rensselaer Republican: - Some reports have been going the rounds of the papers that I have espoused the cause of free

coinage of silver nt the rftfio of 16 to 1 as outlined by the late Dem r >. cratic-convention in Chicago' , I wish through! the Republican to deny this most emphatically. I expect to vote for McKinley and the Repnbji'ean ticket throughout. I wish to say. however, I am a bimetallist, believe iii-tim rfstoration of silver to its proper place in the money of the world. But knowing the Republican, party -has at the critical' hour always sir wn the ability to grapple with great questions when they are presented, I still have unbounded faith that the wisest tiling will lie doin' w hou they are placed in power ag in as they most certainly will be. Very' Respectfully, Robt. Pahkeb Remington, Ind. July 15, 181)6,

After telling how h e got 204 big Mexican silver dollars for a draft on New York for SIOO. he said: “It was a fine thing to have my money double itself, but when I got a little better accustomed to the country and realized theCjniseiy of the common people and the hardships they endured, I made up my mind that I never wanted to see this country come to that level. From nowon I shall be in favor of a gold standard—a standard that will keep one dollar of our money worth as much as another. I.had heard of the deplorable conditions that exists in Mexico and other free-silver countries, but I never reaiiz'd just what it meant until I cauie in personal contact with it.“'"~" ...y

Is there an ordiuarily intelligent farmer in Indiana who dies not knoy personally or by reputation, John B. Conner, editor for these many years, of tjiat sterling publication, the Indiana Farmer, of Indianapolis? And there is no man that knows him, who aloes not know him to be a man of the highest rectitude, of the soundest judgement, and above all, of unimpeachable veracity. Therefore, when Mr. Conner sets out to make an exhaustive discussion of anjf great public question, the statements he gives for facts can be taken as absolutely true in every particular. And whether the coneluteions which he forms from these facts he accepted or npt, the facts at least can be relied upon. We make room this wehk for an exhaustive article frotn Mr. Conner’s pen on the money question. Read it carefully and pieserve it for future reference.
