1T should be distinctly borne in
mind that the attempt to bring all
money to gold standard is EDglish
In its origin. but the effort practic-
ally amounted to nothing until Ger
many adopted the gold standard in
order to humiliate France, which
just then owed Germany a large
amount. This move of Germany
compelled France to adopt the same
measure. At about the same time

St Louis Republic.
In all the conflicting statements of
political conditions in Illinois one
fact stands out prominently, and
that is the solid popularity Of Gov.
Altgeld with the masses of the state.
This popularity means votes for
the democratic party, because it is
not founded upon fancy which may
vanish in day, but upon a firm
foundation of proved wisdom and
honesty in the administration Of
state government. The administra-
tion of Gov. Altgeld, in marked con-
trast with repu blican rule. is the
guarantee to the people of Illinois of
the efficiency and the integrity Of
democratic government. 1t has
given to the Illinois people taste of
the economy and SOUND administra-
tive Judgment which has established
and maintained the faith of the PEG.
pie of Missouri in the democratic
party of this state.
Our neighbors across the river find
at the close of the democratic admin
istration every institution in the
state and every department of pub
lie business in better condition than
when the democracy went into pow
er. Not only have they seen the
democratic administration attempt
ing great reforms affecting the well
fare OF the people, such as the equal
ization of taxation and the preven-
ton Of tax lodging. but they see
practical and benefcent reforms &C.
complished.
This record is a tower of strength
in the democratic campaign. 1,
adds the evidence of experience to
the force of conviction. 1t convinces
the people who favor the movement,
Of the democratic party that per.
Torrance follows democratic prom
ises and that the men at the head OF
it in Illinois can be entrusted with
the interests Of the people.
The demonstrations attending the
tours of Mr.. Bryan and Gov. Altgeld
taken with the unmistakable signs o.
the sentiment of the people. give
emphasis to the remark OF the gov
ernor that nothing but Hanna boodl,
stands in the way of democratic sue
cess in Illinois. There is good rea
son to believe that the majority o
honest citizens supporting the de.
mocracy this year is too great to b.
overcome by the vote which Ham,
can control with Doodle.

Much as is deprecated the fact
that any one should hiss a public

OF such breach of good behavior at

invited questions last night. if there
we're any present who cared to avail

than in propounding questions about
which those interruptIng the speaker
did not appear to be as well posted

Cardinal Gibbons Speaks of the Battle of
Ballots and Not Bullets and the
pnHc

BALTIMORE, ND, Nov. 1.-Cardinal
Gibbons touched upon the political situa-
ton In his sermon at the Cathedral this
morning. He said:
1--WE are on the eve of Presidential
election, both great parties contending for
the mastery. They are leaving no stone
unturned in order to be successful.
"a foreigner looking on and witnessing
the violent denunciat ol that one party is
utterng against another, and the terrible
pre- dictions in regard to the future of the
country If the other party were to win,
would think that we are on the verge of
dreadful revolution.
ION next Wednesday morning he would
find that it was but bloodless revolution,
one effected not by bullets, but by ballots.
A man is to be chosen to the highest posi-
tion in the gilt of his fellows, and impor-
tant issues are at stake. Yet on next
Wednesday the minority will bow grace
fully to the will of the majority, the coun-
try will survive and the Nation will
flourish and be perpetuated."

Under telegraphic instructions from ST.
Louis William Mangler is requested to
place $1,000 against Alteeld, and slight
odds will be given if necessary to get some

SETTING is that as TO whether Bryan will
carry Nebraska, called forth by Chairman

is placed in the sure Bryan column. To-
morrow it is expected there will be
bo m in the speculative game.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. Publicity has
not been sought 10 great extent by those
who have wagered on the outcome of the

been made. Mos Fraley, prominent
Board OF Trade man, has placed $4,000
against $1,000 on Mckinley for President.
AT the Planters Hoel $40 600 is locked
in the safe to bet on Mckinley at odds OF
