Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1896-09-23

This was the best our government coult
do for us during the war, and we made M
complaint. Often this paper money wa
worth less than fifty cents on the dollsr
while the cost OF every thing you bought
was doublos but your pay was not In
| creased.
Mr.. Bryan denies the authority OF tne
! president and the courts OF the oni'so
| States to interfere with mobs- Tney i"A'
with inpunity disturb the peace, oes'fos
property and life. interrupt travei pet"scu
the states, and obstruct the 'United states
n,iIs .nd Interstate, rs well as foreign
| con,,crce. but the government must look
on. powerlcss. helpless. paralyzed. This Ii
mob rule-anarchy. 1t Is impossible to
exaggeratc the gravity Of this issue. II
! really ovcrshadows all others. because IL
touches the foundations of social order
end civilization. This new doctrine Is
worse than the old secession heresy you pat
down with your bayonets-lct US silence
the new heresy by our ballots.
While many veterans may not agree
with some OF Major McKinley's political
views, all hope far more widely
separated from tho ruinous policy Of his
adversary. We feel as Stephen A. Doug
las folt at the beginning Of the war, when
he gave his support to Lincoln, saying
Give me country where my children
can live in peace, and then We can have
room to settle our political differences af-
forwards"
To those, who like myself have adhered
to the Democratic party, let me say that
the platform and candidate presented by
the Chicago convention. are not Demo-
cratic. They arc 6isowned and denounced
by millions OF the best Democrats in the
land. No man Of recognized authority in
finance indorses the financial policy Of the
Chicago platform. You are net Populists,
nor socialists Eor revOlutionists.
Mckinley the Man.
Read the platform adopted by Demo-
cratic national conventions in former
yelrs and you will see that tn, last Chi
cago convention rejected all this best ira
Gitions of our history and adohted much
Of the revolutionary creeds OF the Popu-
lists and free silvoritcs and socialists, die
tnted by Altgeld, TiIlman s. Co. They
rcpud,stcd yol and your party and your
principles. They have no claim to your
support. Let us defeat them.
Comrnde Mckinley stands for all shat
Americans must row uphold. He has
bosn chosen ~ the candidate OF ths party
which is resistiaZ rstionsl dishonoT. You
and can do 10 bestcr than give our votes
to our comraGe. who manifested his love
for his coun.ry by shoyider!ng bis muskes
aud serving f.: Sa;.rly two ycS.Ss IS psi
vatc soldier.
His promotions were fairly earned by
his coura1, and his faithful performance
of the duties OF al enlisted man in the
ranks His comrades may we'll trust him.
He will see to 1t that the principles for
which YOU and he have suffered and sac
rificcd so much. and for which so many OF
our comrades gave their lives, aro pre-
served and pcrpctuateL A few days ngo
I met many thousands OF our comrades in
St. Paul during the national oncamp-
Incnt Among that vast multitude only
heard one voice, and that was for NC
Kinley and national hcnor." Once only
did hear the name OF B-y"n, and then
the cry YVES. NO use for Bryant This
will be cchocd By the American people In
November. NO use for Bryan
10 this contest we must net be- satisfied
with mere success. The defeat Of Mr..
Bryan is sure. 1t is orr patriotic duty to
make his defeat and the defeat of oil he
represents 50 crushin: that neither he nor
h!s allies caa hope for political resUrrec-
l.on.
inorc fox our country, its pcacc and well
fscc and honor. Let us put patriotism
above partisaIship. Let rs stand together
touching elbows. as Conrlds Mckinley
stood with you In .So ranks IN 1881.
