MT. Bryan claims to believe that the bullion value of silver would be doubled by what he calls, increasing the mint demand.' Congress created a new mint demand in 1878, but the price of silver bullion fell It created a new mint demand in 1890, but the price of bullion fell. Now Bryan s congress is going to create some more new 'mint demand'' in 1897 and the price, he says, will rise. We created a new demand in 1878 and the supply increased. We created a new demand in 1890 and the supply increased. Bryan's congress is to create some more new demand in 1897, and the sup ply, he says, will diminish.

M'MILLAN'S AVAILABILITY.

James McMillan as sheriff means clean, economical administration of the sheriffs office His long residence and high standing in the valley have made him known and appreciated by nearly every one in the county.
 The only thing the Populists even are able to say against him is that more than four years ago he was en- ployed as superintendent of the canals on this side of the river. No one claims he did not make a good super intendent or that favoritism was shown by him to any one user of water over another. In fact, is is told that he at one time refused to allow the pres ident of the canal companies to use water out of his turn or to the detri- ment of others who had bought water from other canals, even On his urgent demand
 For more than four years MT. Me Milan has not been in any way con- nected with the canals here, except as a purchaser of water for his ranch The confidence of the district court ir him was signally demonstrated wher he was appointed receiver of the Gils Bend Canal company and authorized to spend under the courts direction more than s15O,OO0 in repairing and re building the dam and canal at Gil; Bend
 Mir. McMillan gave on this occasion a bond with sureties residing in thi county and justifying in over $500, 900, from which it may be inferre. that our substantial citizens have con fidence in his ability and integrity. In his various operations here MI
 McMillan has been large employer c

BRYANITES IN CONGRESS.

The Fifty-ffth congress promises to be constant reminder to the Demo- crats of this country, in a humiliating way, and to the opponents of Bryan ism, to their great satisfaction, of the criminal foolshness of the policy that was adopted at Chicago in July.
 In many states candidates for the house of representatives have been nominated by the Popocrats and Popu- lists upon varying plans of fusion ar ranged with the hope of capturing dis tricts. In the eastern states, where the Republicans and National Democrats appear likely to secure delegations free from free silver men, the Populists are getting no consideration whatever, which is quite as much as they are en- titled to for their numerical import ance.
 But the effects of the Chicago sur | render to Populism may be shown in the Fifty-ffth congress in western state delegations. In Kansas the Democrats are supporting the Populist candidates. PopuEst candidates ir three districts of California are accept ed by Bryanite Democrats as entitled to Democratic support. In Nebraska Populist candidates in two districts are the candidates of the Democrats il those districts. In Iowa Democrats have endorsed the Populist candidates and have offered no Democratic candi
 dates. Like conditions are found 1T two districts of Michigan, in three O

', T, D., cure Liver Ills; easy to Hoods Pills take, easy to operate. s5c.

Minnesota, and in five districts of H. linois.
 The Populist party in the house of representatives of the Fifty-fourlh con gress is represented by Howard of AL abama, Baker of Kansas, Bell of Colo rado, Rem of Nebraska, and Skinner and Strowd of North Carolina. This little party of six members is smaller than the representation of Popuhsm in the Fifty-third congress. It's char acter and influence are inconsiderable.
 One of the inevitable results of ylhe Chicago foolishness will be an increase in the Fifty-f congress of the num- Der of Popuhsts. Whatever increase is effected will be by Democratic as sisaance, contributed by the supporters of Bryan and Sewall to the supporters of Bryan and Watson. The number of genuine Populists may be three or four times as great as the present half dozen. Whatever the increase may be- it will move the Republican majority to Mreverent and provoking chaffer and convalescent Democrats to tardy and uncomfortable repentance Populists as well as Popocrats in the house must be provided with committee work by the speaker, and the necessity of assigning a Populist must deprive Popocrats of opportunity for distinc- tion. It will be a. relief to the speaker if Popocrats and Populists would agree to drop one of those party designations
 and the Populis.s will willingly agree
 that the minority shall all be Popu
 lists

NO RELAXATION.

The opponents of Bryanism will be glad to know that the outlook for an overwhelming Republican victory is continually growing brighter. The better feeling already apparent in bus mess circles, in the resumption of some long idle industries, and the begin ming of some long delayed enterprises, shows that it is generally understood that Mckinley is to be the next presi- dent. While ithe feeling is justified it would be a mistake to relax a single effort until the polls are closed on the night of November 3.
 There is something wanted beyond i the mere election of Mckinley and Hobart. That is the defeat of Bryan and Bryanism by vote so large and crushing that none of the mischief
 which they propose for this country shall ever again be able to plague the
 people. The very suggestion of Bry-
 anism in the administration of the Ma l trade and business and industry of
 all the land for several months. One
 such campaign is enough in the life time of amy human being. The way
 to make it certain we shall never have another is to cover the Chicago plat form so deep with the ballots of hon. | est men that it can never be brought up again to menace the country. Too much emphasis cannot be given to that condemnation.
 It is not only necessary to elect Me Kinley, therefore, but No elect him by a vote that shall show that it would be useless to attempt ano o.her such dis honest campaign as that now being conducted for Bryan on the Chicago platform. This ought to be felt by the people everywhere.
