There was bet n.ade in Chicago
last week between Phil Armour, the
millionaire pork packer and another
prominent gentleman, as to how the

box. When the vote was counted
it stood 625 for Bryan and 275 for

In Kansas the ten electors are all
Democrats, but are pledged to vote
for the candidate for Vice President
who has the best chance of being
elected. In North Dakota the
three Populist electors were en-
dorsed by the Democrats, as also
were the electors of Oregon. In
West Virginia the Populists are sup
porting four of the Democratic cleo
tors and have nominated two of
their own. In the election of 1892
the combined vote of the Democrats
and Populists exceeded that of the
Republicans in all of the States ex-
cept Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania
and Wyoming. Should like
result follow the election Of 1896 in
the above States, and adding the
electoral vote of these States,
which are certainly Democratic, it
is an easy matter to predict Bryan's
election.

received more votes than any presi-

Under Which Flaga

| view OiItHHo Gbatts.
That the men who are possessed
of great wealth are also possessed
of all intelligence, or that the advice
given by them has always been the
wisest, or the advice to the masses
has always been unselfsh, phllan-
thropic or patriotic, is not borne
out by history. In truth, in the
great crises Of this and all other
civilized countries, the intelligence,
or instincts, if you please, of the
masses, has always been on the side
of the right, of progress, of civil
cation. The student of history can
easily recall the many instances
when the representatives of vested
property interests we're timid and
reactionary, and, by every means
within their power, sought to stem
or turn the tide of economic, politi-
cal, social and moral progress; yea
even of American independence.
Most of the Tories of the Ameri-
can revolution were comparatively
large. property holders who were
more influenced by desire to pre-
serve their possessions than to
secure their independence. 1t Is
accepted that property is proverbial-
ly tlmid, and this fact, coupled with
the additional one that the accumu-
lation of wealth is one of the results
of civilization, prompted Macauley
to say that "as civilization advances
the patriotism that calls for self
sacrifice necessarily declines.
Citizens of this country who are
influenced by patriotic considera-
,ious more than by desire for priv
ate gain honestly differ or the finan-
cial question, but they should be
agreed in believing that a president
ial election carried by the trusts and
syndicates would be UNNECESSARILY
more disastrous and dishonoring to
the United States than the retention
or Introduction of any monetary
system. This is true patriotism,
and we believe that majority of
the voters will decide that, momen-
tous as the financial question Is,
there is another of intellectually
deeper moment to this Republic.
The supreme issue before the peo-
pie is tins: "Shall this nation be
ruled by its money or by It's men;
are we to ultimately have Repub-
lie in name and an Oligarcby i'll
fact?"
Those gentlemen who have gone
off on a wild chase after vague
abstraction, who propose to
strengthen Mckinley by supporting
Palmer, must ask themselves these
questions. This is no time for
shutting or evasion; no time for
mock sentimentality or impractical
Die politics. Those who follow
such course are neither fish, flesh
nor fowl, nor good red herring, and
are of no benefit to themselves or to
the country.
In concluding these somewhat dis
Joined remarks, we would ask them
if they are really Palmer men or
Mckinley men. '.Under which
