Even in Florida the democratie vote feil oíí over 6.000 a1 the late election. The; republicana want to watch close for some great siander or rooraback f rom now oti, for the Bryanites ore desperate an: will stop at nothing. No democrat can vote his state ticket without voting for prohibitionists, populista, and republicans. There au hardly enough democrats on the ticket to givo it a flavor. You can not go into a silver country on the face of the earth to-day, and fir.ü a single dollar of gold in circulation. And yet free coinage orators and advocates teil you they are bimetalists ! The election of Bryan would cause no more rivers of money to ilow in the street than flow there to-day. But many men who are at work today would bfi idle then, and without the llttle money they get hold of now. The Detroit Tribune had big head lines over the statement that AV. H. J. Traynor, the "big" A. P. A. man had come out for Bryan. l'erhaps the letter ivritten by Archbishop Ireland win be an offset for Traynor .' Wliat do you think ? George Du Maurier, the author of Trilby, is dead, having passed away Oct. S, at his home in London. Upon his death bed he said of that book: "Yes, it has been successful, but the popularity has killed me." He died of heari trouble and oer excitement. Col. Bradshaw, a free silver orator, in a speech at St. Louis, Mo., said that "all Hebrews ought to be sunk to the bottom of the sea." And followed it up -n-ith many other eavage remarles about them. As a consequence all members of that race are up in arms. The populists nominated John O. Zabel foi congress several weeks ago, and now somt', of the party want bim to gei off the ticket and leave the field clear for the f ree silverite Bark-, worth. and Zabel won't do it. Zabel has the grit to stick to a good thing when he has got it. The opposition press that are so solicitons for Mr. Pingree's welfare better pay attention to their own Bllgh candidate. Mr. Pingree will aot only get the ENTIEE republican vote oí the state, but he will receive half of the democrat vote also. Stick a pin there. Business men must not combine to help each other, but every nondescript political party in the nation can unite, form a trust, so as to secure enough votes to kill off honest money, prosperity and the right. ïhe fusión party this year is a trust more to be feared than any business combine that ever was known. If every laboring man in tlie United States could read the report of the committee sent by the Trades' Unions to Mexico to investígate the condition ol the laboring and common people of that republic, with a view to the efof free silver, there would not be a laboring man's vote cast for Bryan at the next election. The report 's simply appalling No true man can ever vote to Mexlcanize the United States. The Chicago Record sent a postal card to every registered voter in the city asking him his choice for presiident. The result of the poU indicates upwards of 100,000 majority for Kinley in that city, 2 to 1. This settles Illinois in the sound money column by an enormous majority. Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, "Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana will all try hard to equal that great state. In one of his speeches Bryan said that he had had some experience with lianks, once having had a deposit when the bank failed. Now the bank officers come back at Bryan with the statement that he had $75 on Ueposit when the bank failed, but that he was a heavy borrower at the bank, and that his note for $1,000' is still unpaid, which they would be glad to take even 50 cent sil ver dollars for. The Times reads Archbishop Ireland of the Catholic church, a lesson because he has dared to expresa an opinión upon the dangerous doctrines advocated in the Chicago platform. The opinión was expressed, not in the pulpit, but as a patriotic private citizen who loves hib country and her institutions. Had the opinión approved that monstrous doctrine the Bishop would probably have never been humiliated by the criticism of the Times. The republican party is the greatcst friend gllver has to-day or over lias had. Bryan, Bewall and Wateon's vovolution is nearing a dlsastroua end. It has bí-en the i able campaign for wind against sound principies that this country saw. Abolish our supreme court and appoint Altgeld dicta or. rii vrould be a fine thing. Then he could empty all the prisons and abolish all laws against crime, and let anarchy reign supreme. The democratie party uobbing around in this great campaign, with every great leader, (without exception) out of it, makes one think of the antics of an old hen after having her head chopped off. Gov. Culberson, of Texas, has not y et publicly announced that the translation of the Bismarck letter he gave to the public was a forgery. "Would it not be honorable for alm to do so ? And as governor of a great state he ought to be an honorable man. The election commission in Wayne county has assigned the various partles places on the ticket as follows : rteputlican, Democratie, People's Prohibition, D-moT:iti i'i'ople's UnionSilver. Socialistic Labor. Campau wlll appeal to the supreme court. Bismarck demonetized silver in Germany, himself, and placed that nation on a gold basis. As a íriend would he advise this nation to re-monetize silver ? No sir. Not lie. He might cnuckle to see the United States get into such a trap, but he has too mueh honor to advise it. The populistic papers that published the statement that Garret A. ilobart, the republican vice-presidential nominee was a member of the hard coal trust, have not yet seen fit to publish Mr. Hobart's denial of the lie. Oh, no, that would dcfeat the end the lie was manufacturecl for. Senator David B. Hill laughs a gleeiul sort of a chuckle and winks hisleft eye, when some of the f ree silverites threaten to read him out of the democratie party because he persistently refuses to become a Bryan tooi. David knows a tliing or two about politics that hls critica never dreamed of - It is as impossible for a free silver advocate to be a bimetalist s it is for the sun to shine on both sides of this round earth at the same time. Free coinage of silver means silver monometalism. and it means nothing else. And if the free silver advocate is houest with yon he wíll teil you so. Don't be deceived by the false statement of some of the silverites that they want the legal tender lualitics of silvei restored. Silver is a legal tender now, full, nnlimited, for all debts, public and private, in any amovnt. And the government stands back of it, and makes it worth a full dollar. But let unlimited free coinage step in, and the government step out, and the silver dollar must of a necessity drop to lts commercial or bullion value. The Union veteran generáis, Alger, Sickles, Stewart, Howard, and Corporal Tanner, were called "a lot of decripit old hirelings," at Clinton, lowa, by Coiu Harvey. At which a number of old soldiers in the audience toot offense, and the pólice had all they could do to save the shamoless ,-peak r rom being mobbed by them. Harvey s the hypocrite who drew his bank deposit out in gold and hid it in a safety deposit vault to walt for its i-ise in value should his dishonest doctrine of free silver win. Thepoliti.al liars who accused Mark Hanna of oppressing labor, found that they had a boomerang. The iabor organizations sent one of their officials, Wm. A. Kearney, vice president of the Amalgamated Association of iron and steel worker's to the mines to find out about it. Mr. Kearney reports that the mines in which Mr. Hanna is interested have always paid their men the highest wages, and treated them more kindly than they were treated at any other mine. That the miners had been given the land to build their houses on, and no rents asked, which is mot done at other miries, and the strikers have never molested his mines or the workmen therein been dissatisfied. T. L. Lewis president of the Ohio Sta,te Trades Assembly and secretary of the Ohio Miners' Union, reports practically the same thing for the seamen Me. Hanna employs, and Richard P owers, ex-president Seamans' Union, says, "all assertions to the contrary are falsehoods, manufactured for political efand with a desire to mislead working people, and I denounce them as such." The populistic liars who are seeking to elander Mr. Hanna better take up some other line of "argument."
