Finish the Work.

The Sentinel having read DIR. Reindollar
and Mr. Prugh out Of the Republican party
for voting to keep the public school system
out of partisan politics, it is in order now for
it to dismiss from the party that distinguished
Republican leader who secured the appoint
ment of Mr.. Brandenburg, grandson of Mr..
Prugh and Democrat, as Deputy Game
Warden, whereby it was hoped Mr.. Prugh
would vote for the Rings choice for School
Examiner. There is no difference between
voting for Democrat to retain public pos
ition aud securing the appointment of a Dem
ocrat to public office. The Sentinel cannot
escape its duty in this matter, The leading
Republican who secured Mr.. Braudenburg's
appointment will have to go, or the Sentinel
will be open to the charge of Inconsistency
and fayoritism.

Illinois is with Bryan.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-Eo matter what com
bination is made, Bryan will get more than
half the votes cast in Illinois in November,
said Chairman Hinrichsen today. at is sur
prisng the tide that is settling in for free sill
yer in this State We will lose few Demo
cratic votes, but in third of the counties the
detection will not be noticeable.
''There is no doubt in my mind that the
Democratic ticket will win in Illinois. What
we lose in the towns we more than make up

why They Oppose Bryan.

Much of the relentless opposition to Bryan
by the milIionaires comes from the fact that
when in Congress he spoke and voted for the
income tax BILL They viii never forgive him
and are willing to contribute of their millions
to prevent his election, for they fear that by
another income tax bill that will be framed
to meet the objections of the Supreme Court
they will be made to shoulder an equitable
share of the expenses of government,

Bryan and sewall Notified.

Candidates Bryan and Sewall were officially
notified of their nomination for President and
Vice President at Madison Square Garden,
New York, on Wednesday night. The notiG-
cation speech was made by Gov. William G.
Stone, chairman of the committee on notif-
cation.
The Garden was filed to suffocation, Is, zoe
persons being crowded into it, while many
thousands gathered in the streets about, and
overflow meetings were held. The reception
of the candidates was all that their most en-
thusiastic supporters could have desired, and
shows that even in the heart of the enemy S
country the plain people are with them heart
and soul.
Mr.. Bryan made speech Of considerable
length. moderate in tone, powerful in argu-
ment, convincing in presentation and elegant
in diction. Profound study and statesman
ship are revealed all through it, and it has
commanded the attention of the gold standard
advocates who have professed to regard the
Nebraskan as a magnetic man who dealt only
in elegant phrases and the flowers of rhetoric.
This speech has convinced even these that he
is man Of honest convictions, of breadth of
mind, of patriotic impulses and of earnest
determination. The gold press have consid :
erably modified their tone. They have
dropped such terms as anarchist, and have
been compelled to meet argument with argu-
ment They cannot brush aside such speech
with short paragraphs ofridiculen or can they
afford to attempt to belittle the speaker.
Bryan is too great for that and his speech is
that of broad statesman. Its force is recog-
nized, and the usual criticism is that it is logical
and able but is built upon false premises. The
people will Judge this for themselves, and they
will read and study ii closely.

week and present it to its readers in its EN-

A few Gold Bugs, heretofore acting with
the Democratic party, failing to control the

convention next month, at Indianapolis. 1t

The gold standard journals talk of ''intrin-
sic value as though there was any such thing
as intrinsic value, and of fiat money as
though there was any other kind of money.
Gold is not money and debts cannot be paid
with it. Neither is silver. When it is coined
and the government says it is a legal tender
then it becomes money. A bank note is not
money 1t is not even legal tender in the
payment of private debts. but because the
government will take it in payment of internal
taxes and makes it a legal tender in payment
of salaries of government employees the people

The gold standard advocates are an illogical

of silver because the mine owner will then be
able to take fifty cents worth of silver to the
mint and have it coined into dollar Of one

in fifty cent dollars. What do they mean,
