A Convincing Argument. When
you give a man golden promises
each promised backed up by your
reputation and that reputation
sustained by every transaction,
you are working more telling
argument for future business than
i'll any other way. The point is
to talk honesty and represent the
goods as they are. Our best tailor
made goods are cheap at the price
sold but are not cheap goods, cau

THE TRUE ANARCHISTS,

AS the campaign draws to close the
real anarchists, no longer able to divert
attention by the cry of "stop thief"
have come very prominently to the sur
face, There is 10 doubt similar feel
ling largely prevalent among the gold
standard advocates, but few of them
have been foolish enough to let it out.
Here is what old Palmer says among
his sinking driyel:
"For myself, L would prefer to live
under q righteous monarchy rather
than submit to such principles as those
declared by the Chicago convention,
This is about the size of Senator
Palmer, and yet a lot of men who claim
to be American citizens and democrats
go out and applaud the old tory and
pledge him their votes. He ought to
be exiled to England where he belongs.
Then there is Chairman Lauterbach
of the republican committee of New
York, who is noted for his hatred of the
rule of the common people, coming to
the front with such incendiary remarks
as this in case Bry an is elected ''We
Will not abide by that decision. /" There
is enough common people in New York
to defeat Mckinley and this ought to
give them a determination to do so.
But the greatest mess of rant and
rot of all is from the cuckoo lips of J.
Sterling Morton. His dull eye sees
this in the situation
"The finance which they teach is en-
tirely confederate fiat. In the south
ern confederacy the same leaders who
are in command of the picket guards
for silver at 10 to | were leading finan-
ciers. Harris, Pugh, Morgan and the
other confederate generals now in com
mand of the Bryan campaign seem tC
desire to accomplish, by false finance,
that which they failed to bring about
by arms-national dishonor and dis
grace"

Says If Democrats Hold Their Own in the

The following telegram from John R.
Mclean, the able editor of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, gives a hopeful view OF
of the situation in Ohio:
Washington, Oct. 10, 1896.
Editor New York Journal
Ohio is a debatable state. In 1892
one of its electoral votes was cast for
Cleveland for president Two thousand
more democratic votes cast at that cleo
ton would have given the entire elect
oral vote of the state to the democratic
presidential nominee.
The republicans rely on the cities to
carry Ohio. Will they get the labor
vote there, is the question. If the dem
ocrats can hold their own in the cities
Bryan will carry the state. It's my
opinion that the rural part of Ohio will
give majority for Bryan.

The following was printed across the

nal, and is said to be the most reliable
political prediction yet made:
New York, October 10,
Editor New York Journal
came back TO New York over more
than third of the continentto register
my vote and to hear Governor Altgeld
make in Cooper Union the speech in
which he set forth what, in my mind, is
the most important of the issues in this
campaign.
The question that greets me from the
lips of every friend I have yet met, and
the question repeated to all I have as
yet had opportunity to glance at in the
pile of letters found awaiting me, is :
"What do you really think will be
the outcome of the election ?"
Let me answer questioners and cor
respondents, one and all through the
medium of the Journal. My personal
opinion differs from that which has al
ready been expressed in the letters that
have recently been telegraphed by me
to the Journal from the places where
they have been waiting only in this:
I am somewhat more confident than
my letters to the Journal have shown
that Bryan will carry the states that
haYe been considered doubtful in the
central west, and will be elected to the
presidency.

ture, and am liable to all the mistakes

woman, but this is my opinion as to
what will be, formed after FIVE weeks
of diligent, cautions and dispassionate
effort as / am capable of to discover
the trend and strength of the tides Of
political opinion now running in that
part of the country.
This was not my first opinion-on
the contrary, it at first seemed to me
that Mckinley, not Bryan, would carry
the central west; but it is the matured
conviction with which I came the tide
is daily setting more strongly toward
Bryan, am convinced.

Secretary Carlisle has the dubious
honor of having been the first man to
make public partisan political speech
in the United States treasury building.
The speech was against free silver and
was made to a Baltimore delegation
which had come to Washington to re-
quest Mr.. Carlisle to make q speech in
Baltimore before election. AS Mr..
Carlisle's stump engagements in Ken
lucky made it announcement for him to
go to Baltimore, he proceed to make
an anti-silver speech then and there to
the delegation, forgetting, perhaps.
that democrats were being kicked out
Of office for daring to do much less in
behalf of silver. The latest removal
was the son-in-law Of Senator Pugh OF
Alabama, who dared to become silver
candidate for congress.

A JUST REBUKE.

1t must be evident even to Secretary
Morton himself that he made mistake
from every point of view when he made
that uncalled for and undeserved at
tack upon Senators Harris, Pugh and
Morgan, because of their support Of
free silver. As strongly as President
Cleveland and the other members of
his cabinet are opposed to silver, they
to a man deprecate the language of
Secretary Morton. Nobody in Wash
ington would follow the example set by
some of the democrats on the Virginia
side of the Potomac, in hanging Secre-
tary Morton in efigy, but he has been
very freely condemned by all classes OF
men. ..s.a.
Here is q very conservative opinion
expressed by Hen. +. b. mckenzie,
mayor of Eufala, Ala, and gold dem
ocrat: II have put Secretary Morton
in the front rank of democracy's lead
ers, and as sound money democrat
was anxious to see him nominated for
president. But after his late utterances,
so unjust and uncalled for, I am bound
to modify my opinion of his character.
His foolish assault on Senators Morgan,
Pugh and Harris, and his attempt to
wave the bloody shirt by arousing pref
udice against the south, will hurt the
cause he wants to aid more than most
people imagine. 1t will turn hundreds
of wavering voters in every southern
state to the side Of Bryan"
