THE FREMONT ELECTION.

Mir. ]. J. Joslin is large mer- chant of the city of Denver. While Republican he is for free silver and will vote for the Bryan. and Sewall electors. He is a native of Vermont and was in that State on the day of election. He thus de- scribes, in an interview in the Den yer Neacs, what he saw on that day.
 "I was in Vermont on election day, when the Republicans carr led everything. The majority of the candidates in both conven sions, Democratic and Republican, previ- ous to the election were gold men, so in the election the silver Demo crats had no alternative bet to vo ( the gold ticket. The State was flooded with money by the Republi- cans, and the vote was made as large as possible in order to terrify the silverites by the flood of seemingly popular sentiment against them. Fraudulent votes were run in by the score, and every device known to trickery was used. Unnatural ized foreigners were allowed to vote and the judges, being justices ol the peace, and all Republicans, al lowed many to vote twice. 1 esti mate that at least two-thirds of the Vermont Democrats are for free sil- yer, and would have voted thai ticket in the recent election had there been one in the field. Every man of that two-t thirds will vote fol Bryan and Sewall.
 This charge against the Repub licans of Vermont is more serious than anything tbat was said about Arkansas by Gen. Clayton prior tt

Now that Prince Bismarck, the great German statesman, has de clared that the indepedent action ot the United States in the direction of bimetallism would exert a most salutary influence upon the consum- nation of au international agree ment, there will no doubt be great change among the Germans in this country. Carl Schurtz and other German leaders of the United States have heretofore been strong advo- cates of the gold standard, but the opinion of Bismarck will carry great weight with the German masses.

Bryan Would Not Vote For Gold.

More than q year ago, when we were engaged in struggle to bring the Dem- ocratic party to an indorsement of freo coinage, the question was put to me whether, ill case of failure, I would sup port the Democratic nominee if he was a gold standard man running on gold standard platform. I never believed that such condition was probable in the Democratic party, but when those who questioned me were not content with probability, but asked again whether, i'll the case of that event, would support the nominee, said, as you will remember, that under no cir cumstances would vote for the man who would ill the executive office use his influence to fasten the gold standard upon tho people.

.SENATOR SMITH $ POSIIION.
 Senator Smith of New Jersey has resigned from the Democratic Ma tional and State Committees because he believes that the conduct of the campaign should be in the hands of those who are in accord with the Chicago platform with which he does not agree in certain respects. He says, however, that he does not in- tend to set up his individual views against the expressed policy of the Democratic party, but on the con trary bows to the will of the major ity and declares that "the people may safely trusta Democratic Pres. ident and q Democratic Congress for whatever legislation may be nec- essary to the welfare of the coun- try" Senator Smiths action is in striking contrast to that of men who calling themselves Democrats have bolted the nominees of the Chicago convention because they could not control that body and are now engaged in a movement the avowed purpose of which is to elect Mckinley.

Candidate Bryan to Silver Republicans.

It is not strange that men who had looked for bimetallism in the Republic an party should have given up hope ill despair and turned elsewhere fer relief. These Republicans cannot be criticised for leaving the Republican party. They have done what every American citizen has right to do. They have done bet ter than our Democratic advocates of the gold standard have. because the Re publicans, when tEey left their party, joined with those wno had chance to succeed, while our Democratic adyo- eates of the gold standard sought to se- cure the election of a Republican can didate by nominating a Democratic can didate.

A DANGEROUS POWER.
Candidate Bryan Calls Attention to the
 Coercion of Employees.


 The heads of m9ny great corporations are undertaking to compel their em- ployees to support the gold standard. My friends if the heads of these cor poratiGrs assert the right to control the votes of those who work for them, then we have presanted to the American pee pie even < greater question than the sill yer question, If corporation has the right to control the vote of an employee on one question. it has the right to con trol on every question.
 These corporations were net consti- tuted for any such purpose. They are creatures of law Has the law given unto these corporations any such power? No, my friends, and no people who love their government will ever intrust those powers to any person or corporation. If corporation IS not invested with the legal right to vote those employees as 1t will, then the corporation that attempts it usurps its right and becomes dan gerous power ill free country. If there are those here who are op- posed to us on the money question, they dare not approve of the conduct of those corporations that arc attempting to coerce their employees We may be the ones to suffer now, but I warn you, fel- low citizens, that the time may come when these very corporations will turn themselves against you and your fami- lies with all the accumulated power that your indorsement of their conduct now will give them.
 Not only have some of these corpora. tions attempted to coerce their em- ployees, but the great money power centered in New York has been at- tempting to ooeIce the people who do business with it. A paper few days ago said of Montana bank which had failed that the reason given was that the managers of the bank were advo- eating free silver and therefore the New York banks refused to extend credit any longer and enforced the collection of notes which they held, which suspended the bank

peyiencs of thousands has made it an in. disputable fact. Consumption Is not a dis case of the lungs. It is a disease of the blsod, which in weak lunged people man. ifests itself by the formation of tubercles in the lungs and the wasting away of luug tissue. The cure for consumption is simple. 1t consists in the administration of medi- cine that will assist the lungs in throwing of tuberculous matter, and that will cleanse the system so that this refuse matter will be replaced by strong, healthy tissues. That sounds like a very simple operation and yet consumption baffied the combined med ical skill of the whole world for hundreds of years. Consumption was considered ir- curable until the advent of Dr. Pierce,s Golden Medical Discovery. This great remedy is the most wonderful blood purifier and strengthener that the world has ever known. It is the result of years of study aud experiment, by a scientific physician snd has been tested i'll every way by him for over 10 years. It has an unbroken record of success. It cures great variety of diseases, because almost all diseases have their origin and support in inpurity and weakness of the blood As long as a mans blood is rich and pure, he is in no danger from diseases. The blood is the xediun through which food is carried from tue digestive system to all of the tissues of the body. If 1t carries impure things, or an insufficient quantity of good things. trouble will ensue. There is nothing about that so very hard to understand It is per fectly plain and natural and rational The Golden Medical Discovery" puts the di- gestive system in perfect order, puri6es and enriches the blood and so puts the whole body into perfect tune.
