If a horse ever laughs it must be when he hears a democrat advocating honest elections. Possibly the republicans have got an enormous campaign fund, .but it certain ly doesn't lie in the mouths of democrats to object to this. The only reason the latter haven't got a big fund is because they can't get one. There isn't any question of superior virtue about it. The chief occupation of democracy is hatching out bugaboos and trying to keep alive dead issues. GIT A HUMP ON! Look Here,, Brother : If prou are not already a subscriber to the x eilow J acxet, consiaer tnis Mr. Bryan recently denounced a Con necticut manufacturer who said that he would have to close down if the demo crats won, accusing him of trying to intimidate his men.

No one has proposed W. J. Bryan for the Hall of Fame. But then, Bryan will not have been dead ten years until November 6, 1910. The democrats refer to the republicans as imperialists. All right.

I can not subscribe to the teachings of Mr, Bryan. Believing them to be dangerous and especially detrimental to the inter ests of the South, I shall cast my vote for the first time in the history of a mem ber of my family, for the Republican National ticket. It seems to me to be the very acme of insincerity for a South ern democrat to preach about individu al liberty, the right of the governed to be consulted about matters of state is sues. A Southerner by birth; in poli tics a democrat; an American by the grace of God, I shall, in the absence of a democratic nominee, vote for William McKinley because he is something more than a man after an office.! James S. Evans, Chicago, 111. Illinois is a doubtful state that is, it is doubtful if McKinley's majority will be less than 150,000. The republican party is the only party that fully knows how to conduct the af fairs of this country for its real prosperity. It isn't free silver that is so objection able in Bryan. It is Bryanism, pure and simple, and that means a good deal more It is inconceivable how sane voters, who believe in the gold standard, can support a man who deliberately de clares that standard shall not be main tained any longer than he can get rid of it. Surely it is midsummer madness to choose such a man and then rely on one's ability to prevent his doing what he declares it will be his first object to do. Coxey is not marching on to Washi ton this year with an army of free lunch and soup house boarders, and the reason is both he and his "army of unemploy ed" are busy at work for 100-cent dol lars.

Bryanic papers complain because the religious journals of the north all favor the reelection of McKinley.

No candidate can take nominations from three parties without intending to fool some one in case of his election. As Prof, Elliott says the actual actions of Bryan and McKinley in regard to the Philippines must necessarily be much alike, with the advantage of honesty in favor of the President, who declares outright that we will keep the islands. Bryan, on the other hand, wishes to extend to them the promise made to Cuba and then to indefinitely postpone carrying it out. Aguialdo has no more use for . the stable form of government which Bry an promises to set up in the Philippines than for the form of government offered job j by the late congress. What he wants is an unrestricted opportunity to ' plunder his countrymen after the Spanish plan.

This country is not going to stand still; we are going to leap for ward or slide backwards. How can you afford to sieze hold of the shirt tail of progress and bust your gall bag yelling woa just for the sake of giving Bryan and his crowd a pull at the public crib? Don't you know Bryan is an avowed Free Trader? . Don't you know that Free Trade in this country means ruin to tne American laborerf Just let your thinker run back to the time when we had a tariff law modeled after" Bryan's idea. Under that law. . we all felt the sting of hard times, besides the income of the government was not sufficient to pay current expenses. It was called, by the democrats -a. tariff .for! revenue only, but it didn't produce the revenue. Two hundred and sixty two million dollars of bonds were sold in time of peace- to - pay the daily obligations of the democratic administration.
