ooNTRAsTED CANDIDATES.

No student of the course of events in
this camL aign can fail to notice that from
| the day of his nomination Mckinley has
steadily grown in the estimation of the
| public, while Mr.. Bryan has fallen below
the level even of what reputation he en-
| joyed when the nomination was given to
him. Day by day. during all these weeks,
| Major Mckinley has spoken from the
porch of his cottage-home in Canton words
| that have carried courage and hope and
confidence to the people; while from every
stump to which his wandering footsteps
have carried him Bryan has talked OF
nothing but the strife of classes and Sec
| tional animosities, and. so far from inspir-
| ing those who heard him with confidence,
has filed the minds of the more rejecting
of his audience with anxiety as to the out
come of our present problems.
Major Mckinley, so far from endeavor-
ing to excite passion or prejudice in this
campaign, has spoken those large, divine
and comfortable words" which lift mems
minds above even such prejudices or ami
mosities as formerly disturbed them. His
addresses to Confederate veterans have
won the warm approval of the veterans of
the Grand Army, and have manifested
how completely the Nation has forgotten
or forgiven the mistakes of the terrible
years of the Civil War. His addresses to
workingmen and to capitalists have shown
how clearly he perceives the common in
terests which bind them, and have re-
vealed the extent of a patriotism wise
enough to plan for the best interests of
North and South, of rich and poor. To
him he nony1lo x1nif fod.
Grafton of States is one Nation. He
knows no differences; he stands steadfast
as the champion of all.
Mr.. Bryan, on the other hand, while he
has not been so silly as to adopt the advice
of Tillman and Watson and make Sec
tional cam mpaign, has, from the very be-
ginning OF his speeches, appealed to every
| prejudice which might be supposed to
! exist in the minds of the poor against the
rich, or of workingmen against their en-
ployers. He has not been above using the
| lowest arts of the demagogue. He has
| hardly been above the falsehoods of reck-
| less agitators. If he has not said he has
at least insinuated that the campaign of
his opponents is being made by bribery,
intimidation and coercion, and he has
| given the more reckless among the people
reason to believe that if elected to the
| Presidency he would endeavor to subvert
the interests of capita! in order to satisfy
the envy of those less prosperous in life.
He secured his nomination by speech o!
some brilliancy, but since that day in all
his speeches he has not uttered one SEN
tence that will live in literature. nor a
sentiment to which the better instincts OF
the American people respond. Thus be
has steadily gone downward in public re.
pute, and when he is defeated on election
day there will hardly be patriot even in
his own party who will regret his discom-
fiture,

A DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP.

The weeks which elapse between this and
election day will pass rapidly. Whatever
campaign work any citizen can hope to do
should begin at once. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that every man who has any
repute or influence among his acquaint-
ances can do something to determine the
votes of those who still remain confused
by the issues of the contest and unde-
cided how to act. That influence, there
fore, should be exerted rightly and ex-
erted at once.
There can be no question of the great
ness of the issues before us. The tariff
affects every industry, the financial ques-
ton touches not only all industries but
all trades, all savings and all obligations,
while the Bryanite attack on the Supreme
Court involves the maintenance of law
itself and threatens to weaken every safe
guard of property and of individual and
National welfare. It is difficult for the
average man to com prehend how momen-
tous these issues are. Many of those who
were deceived by free trade are liable to be
deceived about free silver. Every citizen.
therefore, who understands the danger
ahead should be diligent in warning the
people against it.
1t is matter for congratulation that
almost every man of eminence in the
country has been outspoken in denuncia-
tion of Organism. Party rivalry has been
thrown aside by our abler statesmen and
great newspapers and to-day patriotic
Democrats are hardly less earnest than
patriotic Republicans in their efforts to
counteract the pernicious influences oi
Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman. Thanks to
these efforts there is little or no chance ol
success for what has been so justly called
"the party of revolution" Even thai
small chance, however, should be de-
stroyed before election day. This can be
done if every good citizen will take the
trouble to exert his influence for the party
of law, industry and prosperity. Let al
good citizens declare themselves with
vigor and emphasis and the doub.ers will
soon cease to be doubtful. A resolute con
viction clearly expressed goes far to form
public opinion and that much at least the
country has right to expect from every
citizen who has the intelligence to form
an opinion and the courage to avow it.
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-14

enlightened and liberal America. What
some particular individual may do does
not affect the general mass of the people.
The cry of coercion and intimidation is es-
sentiaily bugaboo. 1t is the introduc-
ton into American politics of the Chinese
dragon which is supposed to scare and
frighten everybody on the street, but
which is known and well understood by
every intelligent man TO be nothing more
than sham, a shell, hollow mockery.
The whole cry of coercion is so silly that
it would have occasioned no comment If
it had not been to large extent led by no
less a person than William Jennings
Bryan, the Popocratic candidate for Presi-
dent. The American workingman Is not
fool and he is not a coward. He cannot
De intimidated, even If the employers OF
labor were silly enough in mind and false
enough to American principles to attempt
1t. Throughout all America, except few
Southern States, the ballot is fair and
free. There could be no intimidation
under the secret ballot system even if 1t
were attempted, and certainly it will not
be attempted by any man who has sense
enough to vote the Republican ticket and
to understand Republican principles.
1t is evident the Bryanite orators and
organs, despairing of success by fair argu-
ment, have determined to make IN the
closing weeks of the campaign an attempt
to frighten the foolish by this story of
coercion and intimidation. and to win the
support of the brave by leading them to
believe they will be standing up for
American independence if they work and
vote against the Republican party.
Against such low tactics as these honest
and intelligent men must be on their
guard. We had an experience in Cali
fornia during the Garfield campaign with
the forged Morey letter which has taught
people to beware of stories issued from
the Democratic headquarters during the
closing days of the campaign. That
trick cannot be successfully repeated.
We were fooled once by the fraud
of our adversaries, and if we are deceived
second time it will be our own fault.

Our people have seen the folly of the

The purpose of free coinage is not only
dishonest, but impossible. You cannot
create a value by statute nor compel the
other nations of the world to alb d e by
what you declare to be wise. Integrity
is beyond the control of legislation, and
you can no more force the people of
other countries to accept So cents for u
dollar that you owe them than you can
force them to pay 147 cents for a o1lar
that they owe you.-Hon. f. s. Black of

THE TIRED OLD WOMAN.

There was an old woman who always was tired,
She lived in house where no help was hired.
Her last words on earth were, "Dear friends, i
going
Where sweeping amt DONE nor churning, nor
sewing;
And everything there will be just to my wishes,
For where they don't eat, there's no washing OF
dishes;
And though there the anthems are constantly
ringing,

Don't mourn for me now, don't mourn for me
For Pm going to do nothing forever and ever.
