ONE SENTIMENT FOR ALL

There is bnt one sentiment for eleotion day and that is stand by the government. It is neither free silver or any other Democratic heresy that is involved, bat the danger of doing too little through over confidence in carrying out the results of the victories that began at Manila and ended at Santiago. These results have to be adjusted to America's humanizing principles and that oanuot be done jnst now by a Democratic oongress. President McKinley’s polioy must have baok of it a oongress in sympathy with it. The people are undoubtedly of that way of thinking. They have gloriously manifested that spirit in greeting the president on his long journey from Washington to Omaha and from Omaha to Washington again. Willie President Mcntnley was receiving the applause and commendation of mighty crowds of patriots in the west, the yellow press and Democratic editors of the east and elsewhere were keeping up their gait as circulators of falsehood and detraction. The president was responding eloquently to the spirit of patriotism that inspired him and the great throngs of listeners; the yellow press and Democratic editors were moved by the basest of motives in lying for gain, on one part, and political advantage on the other. A Democratic vote this year will be so mnoh of an indorsement of the latter; a Republican vote will be an honest effort to uphold a patnotlo president with a patriotic polioy.

Every dollar put into oar masterful navy is money that will bring ns compound interest. We hafre given the world its first lesson as tp what we oan do on the water, and we most be prepared to follow it up at short notice. When yon vote the RepnbUoan ticket Nov. 8 yon will .-vote to sustain what we are as a nation, as President McKinley recently described It. “We have pretty mooh everything in this oonntry to make it happy. We have good money, we have ample revenaes, we have unquestionable national credit, bnt what we want is new markets, and as trade follows the flag it looks very much as if we were going to have new markets." The Democratic state offloers with an increase of reoooroea from taxation almost equal to the state foreign debt did not in reducing that liability pay a 9 much as 00 oentsfor every man, woman and child in Indiana. The RepnbUoans with diminished resources paid nearly one dollar per capita. That is the difference in knowiug how to use money when you have it. In managiug the current expenditures of the state the Republicans have saved SOOO,OOO annually. They have turned ail fees into the stdte treasury, drawn only a straight salary for their servioes, held all offloers to strict accounting of all money in their keeping, created no deficiencies and held expense aooonnts down to bed rook.
