I take delight in the fact that I have lone
my best always to make and keep tho
suffrage of the American people free. III 10
Is not free and fair then this IL no longer
a government of the people and by tina
people. but a government by some OF tao
people for all of the people. And thats
not the sort of a government our fathers
established or which their sons have main
tanned. To the rightful exercise of the ball
lot both the Intellect and the conscience
should be concentrated.
Il BID you w-orkingmen of Canton use
those ballots as your intellects and con-
sciences shall direct. moved by the highest
and most honorable considerations which
can influence the voter-that of the welfare
of all the people and the honor and good
name of the government which We love.
Use the ballot as will best subserve your
own interest and hat of your family. whose
welfare and happiness you have in your
sacred keeping.
Il thank you from the bottom of my heart
for this call. 1t is a pleasure / shall never
forget. 1t is an honor / shall always
cherish, and l cannot find words TO tell o
how his great assemblage of my own fell
low-citizens. coming from every shop and
factory of the town. has given me courage
and inspiration. / wish for you all the best
in this life. / wish for your homes love.
happiness and contentment and for our
common country the greatest honor. glory
and prosperity. Good night"

of those democrat, who believe

sentative of those Democrats who believe
in a gold standard. spoke on this subject
In 1878 and he said: This contest must not
cease and will not cease until the Industrial
classes are fully and finally em~ancipated
from the heartless domination of syndi-
Gates. stock exchanges and combinations of
money grabbers In this country and In
Europe That Is the language, my friends,
of John G. Carlisle in 1873. And he went
even further than that. He said: We will
pass measure after measure of relief, and
II the President vetoes these measures and
we cannot pass them over his veto we will
put them in the appropriation bill with the
distinct understanding that IL the people
can get no relief the government can get
no money. Do you know of any more en-
phatic condemnation of the system than
that. and yet, my friends. that heartless
domination still continues. The Industrial
masses have not been emancipated. In this
year we are more under the power of the
money grabbers and stock exchanges than
we ever Were before in the history of this
country. and, my friends. the Industrial
classes need relief to-day as much as they
ever did or as much as they did in 1878.
Wnen the words l have quoted were spoken.
Let me read from the Republican plat
form in 1855. upon which Benjamin Harri-
son was elected President of the Ucited
states. In that platform l find these words:
The Republican party is in favor of use
or both gold and silver as money and con-
dennis the policy of the Democratic ad-
mlnistration in its efforts to demonetize sill
the presidency, elected upon a platform
which condemns the previous administra-
uon on the ground that it had attempted
10 dernonetize silver, and yet the second
adminlstration of President cleveland was
lnnnitely worse than the first one so far
as the money question was concerned. and
yet the president who was elected on the
platform d~enouncing Mr.. Cleveland's form
Of the Republican candidate who Endorses
Mr.. Cleveland'S second administration"

The Chicago Records vote for President.

The Chicago Records vote for President.
as reported on Wednesday evening, gives:
Mckinley, 57,279; Bryan. $780,; Palmer,
1870; lowering. $40; scattering, 70. These
figures are for the 'cityAof Chicago. The
votes of ninety-threer counties in Illinois
outside of Chicago werea9 9. 1862 for Mckinley,
3.463 for Bryan. 1874 for Palmer and 207 scat
tering. The first majority for Bryan
comes from the returns from Missouri,
Bryan having 1857 to 1,100 for Mckinley.
Judge Mcconnell, representing the Bryan
ties on the counting board. has written a
letter to the committed of a silver club
refusing to comply with it's demand that
he resign, and urging Democrats to vote,
as the secrecy of the postal-card ballot
is complete. 1t cannot be expected that
this preponderance for Mckinley can be
sustained, even If it, is now increasing.

A POLITICAL HIGHWAYMAN.

No presidential candidate ever conducted
as expensive a campaign as Bryan is do
ing. Some other candidates have made
short trips and a few speeches, but moth
ing to compare with Bryan. He has been
ION the CO. almost ever since his nominal
ton, and is still going. He has crossed
this State twice and will come again. This
travelling by special train or car costs
money, and the Bryan campaign managers
have to furnish it. There are Indications
that they are trying to get even by charg-
ing in advance for Bryan's speeches.. and
1t is said the candidate is playing into
their hands. At several towns he has re-
fused to speak unless the campaign assess
ment. as they call it. was paid in advance.
Ostensibly the assessment is for the free
silver campaign fund. but in reality it is
for the partial compensation of those who
have advanced the money for Bryan's spe-
cial trains and for the benefit Of Bryan
himself. 1t must be remembered he has no
business, no income and no visible means
of support. He Is a lawyer without prac-
tice and an editor without a paper. He
has a family to support. He has been
talking and lecturing for free silver for
several years past, but not for nothing. He
talks for pay. 1t is consistent with all
that is known of his character that he
should stand in" with his campaign man
ayers IN demanding payment in advance
for his speeches. with the understanding
hat he was to receive his share. Such
demands have been made at many towns
in this State, and no doubt in other States.
The Shelbyville Republican says: THE trip
from Louisville to Indianapolis brought in
$1,000, leaving a net profit of 81. 200 that
day, to be divided between Mr.. Bryan and
the men who are managing the attrac-
ton" The assessment policy was con-
tinued on the trip north from this city,
and even now towns and cities are being
assessed to bring Bryan back or to bring
him over particular routes. This cannot
be done without his knowledge. and there
is reason to believe it is done with his ap-
prevail and cooperation. 1t is the first
time that the stand-and-deliver policy has
been introduced in a presidential cam
paign. If Mckinley is the advance agent
of prosperity Bryan is the highwayman of

Now that Messrs. Arthur and Sargent.
Of the railway organizations. have both ex-
posed the fraud connected with the publi-
cation of the recent appeal Of organized
labor, 1t would seem to be incumbent up
on some of the other decent men whose
names are attached to that fake to ex-
pain. Like every other document which
the silver mine ring put Out. this appeal of
the labor leaders is a fraud-a petition
signed two or more years ago turned into
an appeal for to-day.

A well-known gentleman of this city re-
ceived a letter from a friend in Florida a
few days ago relative to the political stu
alton. The writer of the letter is a lawyer
and lifelong Democrat. He says:
The Florida election is over with q large
decrease in the Democratic vote. amounting
to % per cent. The majority for Bloxham
will be only 13,0G0. Bryan will probably
carry the State by 5000 to 5000. 1t is plain
South, that the Democrats are not voting
this year. g - . You are doing much
more than l can If you follow Bryan in his
speeches. l long ago gave up looking at
them. He is a PoDulist, pure and simple.
There is nothing of the regular Democrat
about him, and the question of regularity
in connection with him doesn't trouble me
a bit. / have always held that the power
of q Democratic national convention was
limited to nominating a Democratic citizen.
and that if it nominated any other kind it
directed me to vote for q man, without
color of authority.
This shows the attitude of self-respecting
Democrats in the South, where Populism is
better understood and more distrusted than
in the North. There are thousands of such
Democrats in the South, and the statement
in the foregoing letter that Bryan will not
get more than 5000 to 5000 majority in
Florida indicates a probability that Nc
Kinley may carry two Of the Southern
States where the sound-money sentiment
is even stronger than in Florida.
