The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION
and PROSPERITY.
FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, OF Ohio
FOR vICF-PREsIDENT-
GARRET A. HOBART, Of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1896.
Gold Democracy is slow, but perhaps it
means to be sure.
Every prospect of Democratic success is
prospect of panic.
Mr.. Watson will not even be offered
reserved seat at the Bryan show.
For once in our history Democracy is
short of takers. What are we coming tor
The Associated Press report that Hoke
Smith has resigned was harmless-nobody
believed it.
The cyclone may make the most noise
in the East, but the sunstroke gets there
just the same.
Bryan has an excuse for talking so much
in the fact that no one else appears willing
to talk for him.
To be a belle in the East the summer
girl must have a complexion that can
stand birthstone.
Bryan furnishes the amusement of the
canvass, while Mckinley looks after the
business OF the country.
The Republican party saved the life of
the Nation in 1860 and it will save it from
disaster and dishonor now.
The stdmp-speaker wins the applause of
crowds, but when election day comes the
people vote for statesman.
Cleveland ought to say something to the
gold Democrats, even if he does no more
than tell them how to cut bait.
When the Democratic march begins
there will be a great row to see which
faction has the head of the procession.
The trouble with the Democrats in pre-
pairing for a campaign of education is that
they haven't any speakers who can do the
educating.
Until the Democratic party shows some
ability to govern itself it IS certainly un-
fitted to be intrusted with the government
of the country.
According to Democratic organs and
orators every business man in the country
is a plutocrat and not one of them is worth
less than billion.
The silence OF the Democratic organs
concerning the Democratic State platform
is becoming conspicuous enough to make
noise in the world.
1t Is most appropriate that Bryan should
receive his notification at Madison-square
Garden. The building was erected for
hlppodrome performances.
Bryan will be notified of his nomination
to-day, and il he has any sense he will
take notice that very few business men
will be in the crowd that watches the
performance.
One of the difficult things in this cam
paign is to find California producer who
is willing to try any further experiments
with free trade, even with the sop of free
silver thrown in.
The American people will never repu-
date an obligation nor will they ever in
volve in financial dishonor the Govern
ment they have worked and fought to
build up and maintain,
International bimetallism will give a
much larger use of silver than could be
given it by this country alone, and there
fore the real friends of silver are IN favor
of the Republican plan.
Workingmen wish their wages in sound
money, producers wish the pay for their
products IN sound money. and only those
who do no honest work are willing to ac-
cept payment in dishonest dollars
The hot weather in the East may gem
crate certain insanity of Organism in
the popular mind for a time, but the
people will cool off before November and
begin to think straight and think right.
As very few of the leading Democratic
orators appear willing to take the stump
in this campaign the Populist speakers
will have chance to do all the talking,
while Democrats stand around and whoop
it up.
The California fight against the Iniqui-
tous refunding scheme is not a matter of
parties, and the force of anti-funding
sentiment will be weakened. in Congress if
it is represented as an affair of partisan
politics.
II Bryan were elected and undertook to
fulfill the pledges of his party he would
succeed no better than Cleveland has done,
and the result would be simply repeti-
tion of what we have had for the past
