DECORATE WITH FLAGS.
Chairman Jones' Request to be Car.
rled Out by the Loyal Party
Men in st. Louis.
From the ST. Louis Republic

From the ST. LOUIS Republic.
Chairman James z. Jones of the
Democratic National Committee has
issued a circular calling upon every
Democrat in the country to set aside
Saturday, Oct. 81, as "Fiag Day.
After declaring that q general display
of flags would be an appeal to every
sentiment of patriotism and national
pride the circniar says:
81 therefore, suggest that on Satur-
day, Oct. 81, all those who desire to
preserve the country's honor and in
dependence as it came to as from the
fathers; who believe in the rights OF
every man, rich or poor, to cast a free
and untrammeled ballot; who oppose
government by corporations and the
coercion Of voters and desire that real
and genuine prosperity may once
again return to bless our people, dis
play the national colors at their
homes, their places of business and
wherever else they may be seen in or
der that voters whose hearts are fol-
their country may be cheered and
their purposes strengthened, and thai
those who are wavering may take
courage of their patriotism to per.
form their duty as citizens, to the end
that government of the people, By
the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.'n
Every Democratic organization il
Missouri and in st. Louis in particular
will act on the suggestion and when
"iag day" rolls around the city viii
be decorated as it probably never hai
been before in response to a call from
a political leader.

pArRIor1sM demands that this talk

PATRIOTISM demands that this talk
of the horrible things to come at once
upon the C OF the opposite party
shall cease. Scare talk makes panics.
However much a "gold bug'' may be-
lieve that free coinage will will bring
harder times, he would rather have
his Judgment prove erroneous If free
coinage carries. He doesn't want hard
times. However strongly free coin
age men may be impressed that disas'
ter will result from a continuance Of
the single gold standard, they would
rather be mistaken If Major Mckinley
should win. They have seen enough
of disaster and do not wish to see
more. Consequently patriots Of botf
opinions, who do not wish disaster
have the plain duty to avert 1t as fal
as possible by quieting the apprehen'
sions of others instead of seeking tt
throw them into a panic. There arr
enough people of either opinion II
the United States to make q panic i
they are scared enough. II is patriots
to believe that the Republic will sur
| yiye.

Mr.. JONES, Populist candidate for
Governor, has Withdrawn. If Mr.. B.
o. Sims, the Populist candidate for
Congress from this district, will with
draw the Democratic party will poll
the largest vote ever known in the
history of this district. At this writ
ing there is every probability that Mr..
Sims will withdraw from the race, as
he is honestly and sincerely in favor
of free silver. He knows very well
that there is no chance for his cleo
ton and will not jeopardize the cleo
ton of Mr.. Clark, the Democratic
nominee. There is no question that
Mr.. Sims can make a splendid reputa-
ton for himself and make Mr.. Clark's
election sure by Withdrawing. The
LEDGER feels sure he will do this.
