Elements that Are Fighting Bryan

No other candidate of great party
in the entire history of this country
ever had SO many important elements
arrayed against him as are now bat
tling against Bryan. First, of course,
among these elements, in point of
strength, is the Republican part. Next
in Importance of the foes of Bryan are
the Cleveland and Carlisle faction of
the Democrats, most of whom will vote
directly for Mckinley. Prominent
also among Bryan's enemies are the
great body of the railroad workers of
the country of all grades, four-fifths of
the Germans, four-fifth of the manu-
facturers and factory operatives like
proportion of miners and mine workers
taside from silver miners), and nine
tenths of the clergy of all denonina.
tions, of the college professors and
educators in general, and of the promi-
nent and influential newspapers of all
parties.
Here, indeed, is com mbination of fac
tors all working directly or indirectly
and by far the most of them directly
in favor of Mckinley and against
Bryan, such as meyer were gathered on
one side before since parties began to
harden into shape in the early days of
Jackson's Presidency. But this exhibit
does not reveal the full extent of the
preponderance against Bryan. The
farmers and the ordinary laborers have
not been mentioned here yet 1t is
safe to say that large majority of each
of these elements is hostile to the Chi
cago ticket This was demonstrat ted to
be true in the Vermont and Maine
elections, and it is entirely safe to say
that New England does not hold a
monopoly of the common sense and
common honesty of the country.
The extent to which Bryan has been
repudiated and denounced by the men
of influence and character in the Or
ganization to which he pretends to be-
long is altogether unexampled in party
history in the United States. Not
single man of national standing in the
Democratic party is supporting Bryan
The Democratic President, that Presi-
dents entire Cabinet, every Democrat
who was really a leader in either
branch of Congress and every man in
either public or private life who holds
the respect of the Democratic party or
who is entitled to speak in it's name,
appear to be either secretly or openly
hostile to Bryan. Nobody ever saw or
ever read of anything like this before.
The degree to which Bryan has been
abandoned and condemned by the
brains and character of his own party
gives the canvass of 1896 a unique
place in American political annals

widespread, powerful and contagious.
1t has behind it not only the unreason-

of the discontented, the unfortunate,
the hopeless, but also the selfish i'm

sound money and national solvency have

A NEW TARIFF slLL.
That Ia what Labor Wants Rather Than
. New Dollar Bill.

Thnt Is What Labor Wants Rather Than
New Dollar Bill.
The notable thing about Mr.. McKin-
ley's front porch campaign is the pre-
ponderance Of the creditor classes" in
the delegations that visit him from day
to day. Who are these creditor classes 7
Certainly not the bondholders, bankers,
brokers Or corporation monopoIsts, who
Mr. Bryan claims are determined to
corner the gold in the markets of the
world. No delegations of bankers have
called upon Mr.. Mckinley at Canton.
No goldbug octopus has been summing
his greedy tentacles on MIR. McKinley'G
front porch.
The delegations that have been ad-
dressed by the Ohio protectionist thus
far are composed of laboring men from
the shops, the factory, the railway and
the farm. These are the creditor
classes" To these men the owners of
factories and railways are debtors from
week to week. Their interest in the
maintenance Of an honest and stable
monetary system and in the restoration
of the American policy of protection is
greater than that Of the millionaire and
banker. That the crowds of people who
visit Major Mckinley are largely made
up of this class of creditors is signifi-
can't
To delegation Of mill operatives
from Plttsburg Major Mckinley said:
There are two things which deeply and per
sonally interest the worlsngmen. They are,
work and wages. They want steady work at
good wnges. They are not satisfied with ir-
regular work at inadequate wages. They
want the American standard applied to both.
With ateadv work thpv To hn paid in,
sound money. They do not want to lose any
part OF their hard earnings through poor dol.
lars, and they don't want to be paid in dollars
whose value can only be ascertained by the
daily market reports Whatever work they
now have is paid for in good money, and there
fore no complaint Is made on that score. They
are satisfied with the money, but they are not
satisfied either with the scant work or the re-
duoed wages. They are satisfied with the
present dollar BILL but they are not satisfied
with the present tariff bill.
Under the present standard for meas.
uring the value Of labor the dollar bill is
all right. The workingman knows it is
worth 100 cents in any market in the
world. He Is not anxious to have it
changed, but he wants more of them
than he has been in the habit of hand
ling in the last three years. He can not
get them through the mints. He can
not possess them if he is denied the op-
portunity to earn them by honest labor
Mr. Bryan has not yet shown in any of
his speeches how the free coinage 16 to
dollars can get into the hands of labor
through the mints. The burden of
proof is upon Mr.. Bryan.
The laDoring men want new tariff
bill the dollar bill is all right.

The Will Stands.

From the Poughkeepise Eagles Rhinebeck items we clip the following
 Hannah Hammond, of Monticello, died on August 25th, 1895, leaving s will in which she bequesthed to Rev William A. Mackey, pastor of the Methodist Church of this village, the sum of five thousand dollars. At the time the will was drawn Mir Mackey was her pastor and spiritual adviser.
 Objection to the probate of the will was made by children of a deceased brother of the testatrix upon the ground that the execution was obtained through the exercise of fraud, coercion and undue influence; they went so fai as to claim that Mir Mackey exerted hypnotic influence over Mrs Hammond
 The trial created considerable interest during its progress, and the many friends of Mir Mackey have patiently awaited the final outcome of the mat ter. The surrogate has at last render. ed his decision, which fully exonorates Mr Mackey from the charges made against him, and the will stands. We congratulate MT Mackey upon his com plete vindication.- -Millerton Telegram
