"My friends, II you tell me that Blaine's
language is too old, " you tell me that
Tburlow Weed is a back number, 1 want
to quote you from recent utterance Of
more recent statesman.
1.-THE Republican candidate for the
presidency this year has been In public
life, and in public life he has discussed
the money question. At Toledo, in this
state, in the spring of 1891, he denounced
the administration Of Mr.. Cleveland on
the grounds that Mr.. Cleveland had tried
TO degrade silver, TO lessen currency, to
make money dear by making It scarce,
to make money the master and all things
else the servant. My fciends, repeat
today what Mr.. Mckinley said Ave years
ago-I repeat today what was true then
and denounce that policy todey, while
he has turned about and is supporting
the financial policy Of Grover Cleveland.
Applause and cheers.)
"If Mr.. Cleveland wasl wrong then,
then Mr.. Mckinley Is wrong today; II
MIR. Mckinley was right in 1891, then we
are right today in standing by our POSI-
tion. My friends do not mean to say
that man has no right to change, his
mind. believe that a man ought to
change his mind when he finds ttat he
has been wrong; but believe that when
a man changes his mind fought to Ebf
able to give reasons for the change. zap
plause and oheers.)
"You tell me that men who were fol
bimetallism few years ago are against Il
now. Yet. my friends, that Is true but
there is not one OF them who was fol
bimetallIsm a few years ago and hat
changed, who has ever been willing tc
give the public the reasons for his change
and carry the public along, the oours'
which led him to his conversion. Zap
plause and oheers.) People point to tina
distinguished statesman, John g. Car
lilse, and they tell us that Mr.. Carlisle
has been converted since 1888. There.ar,
two kinds Of onversions--tbere is th
conversion of Paul Of Tarsus, lwho started
out to persecute the Christians and after
ward became an apostle; there is the cas-
of Aaron, who started out as worshipe
Of the true God, and afterward set up
golden calf Applause and cheers.
, The difference between these two conver

Democrats and Populists Couldn't Get
Together Ia Georgia.
ATLANTA, Oct. 2l.-The Democrats
and Populist committees have failed to
fuse. The Populists demanded that all
the electors be for Bryan and Watson,
thus ignoring Sewall.
The resolution refusing the Popu-
istic proposition was offered by none
other than Chairman Jones' personal
representative, who had favored 1t, but
who claimed that he had been under a
misapprehcnsion as to what the Popu-
lists wanted. He said he had no idea
when he came down here at the sug-
gestion of Chairman j. X. Jones that
the Populists wanted 13 electors for
Watson. He thought that they would
propose some fair division, which
would not totally ignore the candidacy
of Vice President Sewall.

Another Lie Nailed.

Before Mr.. Hanna became chairman
he had demonstrated that he was a
clear headed and successful captain Of
is applying the executive ability and
intellgently directed energy he had
displayed in business affairs to the
campaign with most excellent results.
Naturally he has been shining mark
for the Popocratic petard. AS Mr..
Hanna is not the candidate for Presi-
dent and as his personal qualities are
in no way to be passed upon by the
people the senselessness of the mali
cious attacks upon him seemed their
best possible answer. However, as
direct charges have been made with
view to prejudcing wage workers
against him in the hope that the preju-
dice it was thus hoped to arouse would
reflect upon the Republican party, for
those who would incite it we'll know
that prejudice is unreasoning, it is we'll
that direct reputation of those charges
has been made. The only conclusion
to be obtained after reading the state
have investigated the matter is that
those charges, like so many of the
statements which have been given cir
culation to further the interests of fiat,
fury and folly, are utterly false.
We have heard very much about Mr..
Hanna's hostility to the Lake Seaman's
Union, as our readers also doubtless
have. Accordingly it is of interest to
note what eXPresident Powers of that
union has to say This is his state
ment: Knowing the history of the
Lake Seaman's Union from it's organ
lzation to the present. and participant
ing in its struggles when to do so in
volved danger and sacrifice, I can
truthfully assert that never in all this
time, nor at any other. has that organ
lZation ever had any trouble with
Mark A. Hanna. All assertions to the
contrary are falsehoods, manufactured
for political effect and with a desire to
mlslead working people, and I de-
! nounce them as such.

Mr.. Bryan is now urging that the
election of a free silver Congress is
necessary toaccomplish the purposes of
Popocracy. He is right. AS President
he could pay out silver when gold was
demanded and send this country to
silver basis in less than week. He
could bring on the sharpest kind of
panic, undoubtedly the worst ever ex-
perienced. He could scare every dol
lar of the six hundred millions of gold
in this country into hiding, out of the
country or send it to a premium. But
he could not open the minis to the free
coinage of silver to take the place of
the departed gold. He could not stamp

Softly. Softly. Catchec Monkey!

The news that the legislature of
British Guiana has granted a franchise
for a colonial railroad to the Barima
gold fleids, the territory on which the
United States has had reason to feel
confident that England would execute
no aggressive movement pending our
examination into England's and Vene-
zuela's relative rights thereto. was
published day before yesterday. In
spite of the rumors and successive re-
ports from English sources that the
Venezuela question was in the course
of settlement. and that the British
government would sincerely avoid Civ
ing the United States any just cause
for complaint that the Ionroe doctrine
has been violated, the process of British
absorption of the disputed territory
continues actively.
In book Of this year entitled The
Downfall of Prempeh," the poor king
of Ashanti, by Major Baden Powell of
the Thirteenth Eussars, we find a pas
sage relating to the extension of British
dominion in foreign countries which
makes it unnecessary to apply any
harsh criticism of our own to England's
conduct in Venezuela. Major Baden
Powelis preface contains the key to
England's colonial expansion:
"A smile and a stick will carry you
through any difficulty in the world.
more especially if you act upon the old
West Coast motto: Softly, softly,
catchee monkey
THE expedition, itself well disposed
yet determined, was at once a smile
and a stick. BY quietly taking posses
sion of Ashanti it has practically ac-
quired the vast Hinterland beyond: it
has softly caught the monkey. And
the principle is carried out in various
quarters of the world. In Siam, in

1t will be strange If investors in the
future have the confidence they other
wise would in letting their money to
states and municipalities in states that
strongly supported Organism. Capital

reputation that dominates a COM
timid to hesitate before mourning risk.
An incident not creditable to the
state of Montana, and all the more
noticeable from the fact that in that
state it is popular to speak of the
money lenders as sharks and Shylocks,
robbers and thieves, has recently come
to public attention in New York. A
firm of architects competed for prizes
offered for plans for the proposed mil
lion dollar state house in Montana
This firm secured the fourth prize and
received a state warrant for the pay
ment of $500. But when the firm had
this presented to the state treasurer it
was not honored, the reply being, no
funds for payment. Can't say when
will pay" Probably Montana will pay
this trifiing debt of $500 when it deems
it convenient to do so, which would
probably be when the payment could
be made in 53 cent dollars. The debt
will be a long time due if Montana
waits for that time and in the mean
time the reputation of the state for
honoring its drafts is not likely to be en-
HANGED very materially.

have taken Mr.. St. John, the martyred
/ bank president.
Thus. Mr. Sewall cannot be said TO
! have occupied dignified position. He
had received nomination upon the
assumption that he was willing to pay
for il. and his suitable acceptance"
would have been the acceptance. in the
mercantile sense, of draft from
Chairman Jones. The letter would not
have been missed, if it's place had been
supplied by a check
Seeing. however, that he had deter
mined to write a letter which nobody
wanted he has acquitted himself as
well as could reasonably be expected
1t is not at all the sort of letter that
was to be expected, but then the task
was an absolute novelty to a man ac-
customed to write business letters.
Inere are. in fact, no terms in the
repertory of mercantile correspondence
in which the acceptance of a mission TO
debase the currency and destroy the
credit of nation can be fifty expressed
Accordingly, Mr. Sewall is driven to
borrow the Populist rhetoric about
arrogant money changers" and the
Favored classes" and so forth. If it
fits him very i'll and he looks very
absurd in it, that is because the posi-
ton in which he has placed himself is
essentially false for II man of expert
ence and man of affairs. If he was
nominated with any thought that he
would catch Populist votes in New
England, that illusion has been dis
PEELED by the election in his own State.
Where there are Populists. he is an in
cumhus on the ticket which his pecuniary
contributions to the canvass cannot
much alleviate. and which his literary
contributions cannot relieve at all.

Mr.. Sewall's Letter.

gether too clear. When that horny

such man, and even though his bar
rel was but key. the hairiest delegate

fought without money. Diverse rumors
have fioated about as to the extent to
which Mr.. Sewall has consented to de-
plete his bank account for the cause

assumed existence Of his bank aceount
nobody would have thought of nominal
