FOR VICE-PRESIDENT-
GARRETT A. HOBART, Of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1896.
-.----------s....-------=-
To-day Maine speaks.
The Arkansas vote is now back num-
Der.
Maine will see Vermonts majority and
so it several thousand better.
Every workshop is Republican head
quarters in these days, for the workers
need protection.
Bryan have made a mighty poor gamble
tor their money.
Next to the speeches OF Mckinley the
best Republican campaign documents are
the speeches of Bryan.
We shall know when the Maine vote is
counted just how much Sewall's nomina-
ton is worth to Democracy.
The battle for protection is virtually
won, but the people should be careful not
TO elect any tree-traders to office.
In the mad whirl of his oratory in these
. days it is doubtful if Bryan ever takes
time even to think that he thinks.
The trouble in the fusion camp is that
every fusionist wishes to get the 16 and
give the other fellow the measly l.
-s-
We have now been informed that Claude
Matthews is sick and Boies is tired out,
but what about Silver Dick Bland?
The American workingman who wishes
good wages ana good dollars is not taking
much stock in the Bryan movement.
Level-headed Democrats have given I'D
this campaign and are trying to console
themselves with the hope of better luck in
1900.
1t is safe to say that when Tom Watson
reads the report from Maine tomorrow ne
will conclude that he has a good one on
Sewall.
1t is certainly unnecessary for Bryan to
discuss the tariff since every body knows
he voted for the Wilson bill and his record
is enough.
The free silYerites will make hard
fight TO cut down the Republican majority
in Maine to-day, but they will find the
job even harder than the fight.
The Democratic orators talk of money.
money, money, but the people know the
only way to get money is to get work, and
work is hard to get under Democratic free
trade.
Before long the Indianapolis nominees
will be notified, and they will then have a
chance to write letters of acceptance which
will cause them TO be remembered for one
day more.
Our readers are doubtless getting tired
of the reiteration of Bryan's speeches, but
we must keep publishing them, for we
wish to increase the Republican vote as
much as possible.
To well-lnformed advocates Of free silver
coinage international agreement seems
not only the safest but the shortest way 20
establish bimetallism, and therefore they
support Mckinley.
If ever there was political forlorn hope
1T is that OF the Palmer and Buckner
Democrats, but nevertheless there are a
good many right thinking Americans who
glory in their pluck.
is reported in Chicago that Governor
Altgeld did not make his trip to Glenwood
Springs, Colo, for health only, but to
strike the silver-mine owners for a cam
paign fund, and 1t is the belief in Chicago
that he got it.
Republicans must be on their guard in
Congressional and Legislative districts.
1t is the evident intention of the Popocrats
TO abandon Bryan and make every effort
to elect Congressman ana the United
States Senator.
Workingmen might as well quit asking
Democratic orators and newspapers how
they will get any profit from free silver
While American mills are closed, for they
Will never get a satisfactory answer no
matter how often they ask
Farmers have learned by their expert
ence with the Dem ocratic tariff that thew
need home market for their products
more than they need free silver, and &C
cordingly they are not going to vote for
Bryan the free-trader, no matter what he
may promise about money.
According to Moses Handy the attempt
to raise fund to start free Ever news
paper in Chicago had to be abandoned
several hundred thousand dollars short of
the mark, so it seems the silver boys are
not bleeding half as much as they are
yelling.
