| Mr. Bryan declares the farmers cannot be deceived by reports of ; prosperty. No, indeed; they’re up ■ against the real thing now, and i they know it when they see it. J The Hon. Grover Cleveland has not formally declared for the Philadelphia ticket, but he has advised a correspondent to .vote according to his ’‘conscience and informed patriotic sense.” And that amounts to the same thing. The Hon. Sixto Lopez, owing to the regulations governing treason, will not be able to come to this country and make speeches for the Kansas City ticket, but he is writing Bryan and Stevenson letters with all the vigor if not all the vituperation of an Altgeld or a Sulzer. The anti-imperialists of Jefferson's day were responsible for the attempt of Aaron Burr to establish an Empire in the Southwest He counted on the discontent of the people whom Jefferson governed Not a single nation disputes our possession of the Philippines. The only organized opposition to the consummation of, the Paris treaty comes from Aguinaldo and the Democratic party. And more than half of the Democratic opposition comes from partisan subserviency rather than conscientious convictions.

General Weaver, who has changed his own political garments so often that he don’t know where he is at, says McKinley is wearing Jeff Davis’over-coat. And Weaver and Bryan and all the whole Democratic crowd are trying to make it appear that Bryan is wearing Lincoln’s mantel. The men who voted for Lincoln in 1860 and 1864 or who would have voted for him in the latter year, had they not been enforcing republican government without the consent of the governed, down south, are the men who are the best qualified to judge which man now best represents Lincoln’s principles and Lincoln’s characte. They knew Lincoln and the principles be represented. It will be easy to find 200 men in Jasper county who voted for Lincoln and who intend t« vote for McKinley; but if there are 5 in in the whole county who voted :or Lincoln and now intend to vote ’or Bryan we do not know where they are, nor does anybody else seems to know.

M’KINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.
