The Evansville Tribune has a strong and
singing editorial Oh the conduct of the
Bryanites at the reception given Hon.
Bourke Cochran in that city a few days
ago. 1t says there was a deliberate and
prearranged effort on the part of the sill
verites to break up Mr.. Cockrans meeting
and while no eggs We're thrown, as at Cow
ington, the mob sang and howled blew
horns, beat drums, and in every way tried
to drown the speakers voice" The Trib-
une adds:
The mob that sought TO wreak it's will on
the great Cochran was not an army of
ragamuftins. Far from that. Most Of it's
members were we'll dressed. They were
hoodlums of course, but hoodlums that try
to disguise themselves men, and who,
because their linen is clean, assume to
call themselves gentlemen But they

1t is humiliating to have to say that the
people of the second city in the great State
of Indiana have in. the midst of them an
element that offers violence to free speech.
But in one respect the riotous demonstra-
lions of this week are not to be regretted.
They will open the eyes of some of cit
liens, who have been Geluded by Organism,
to the true meaning of the gospel of an
archy that Bryan and his associates have
been preaching under the thin guiSe of pre-
tended patriotism.

New Hampshire, New Jersey New York,

are regarded as favorable to Mckinley:
California, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ne

Oregon, South Dakota and Wyoming-64,
while the votes of Kansas and Washing

This, it seems to the Journal, is a very
conservative estimate, but it insures the
election of Mckinley beyond doubt. In
fact. it seems impossible that any weIl-in-
formed person can arrive at any other con-
clusion at the present time, and the present
time is very near the day of the election.

In his speech Saturday night General
Harrison paid a handsome tribute to the
Republican and soand-m money press of the
country for it's conduct during this cam
paign, saying:
Great as has been the contribution to the
lean press, it has never rendered so con-
Spicuous a service as it has rendered. in
this campaign. The issues have been lu-
cidly and infinitely stated in the hearing or
the people with that elaboration and tenn
permanent which is practicable in writing
where there is easy access to authority
and to data. The voice OF the campaign
orator is limited it depends upon the aid or
the press for any wide or permanent inf1u-
ence that it may have. And never before
never since the struggle of 1861, has the
great and potent power OF the great news
papers of this country been SO unitedly. so
intelligently and powerfully eXerted in
behalf of true principles IN government
and in finance.
No doubt General Harrison meant ev-
cry word of this. He has no occasion to
seek compliments from the press, and is in
a position to speak frankly. The
praise is well deserved. There has
never been political campaign in which
the press of the country has been near
ly united in support of right principles or
in which it has done more intelligent and
effective work. In this praise should be
included besides the Republican press,
many Democratic papers and nearly all of
the German papers in the country.
