THE LIE IN THEIR TEETH

Stop and Consider

When eastern Democrats stop to think
that every trust and combine in the
country is working for the election OF
Mark Hanna's candidate for the presi-
dency, but few of them will vote for
Mckinley. They may disapprove of
silver platform, but there is no COM
fort for them in a Republican high tariff
policy.
1t is said. that ex-President Harrison
will make speeches for Mckinley from
the back steps of Pullman car during
the campaign. The men who will speak
for Bryan will travel on foot, most of
them, and street corners will afford an
excellent place TO eXpound the beauties
of free silver. This is to be a campaign
between the plain people and the bene-
fciaries of trusts of all sorts.-Visalia

splendid musical program was rem

until they swell to perfect tumult or
rage and indignation. Then the people
rise in their might and seize the chiefs
of the revolution, who had worked the

Graphically these scenes were repro

trayed the fall of the axe and the rolling
of the severed head down the incline to
the basket. The overture closes with
the shouts of rejoicing and prayers of
the people. A squad of artillerymen from
the N. G. C. were on hand with gattling
gun which was to have been fired during
the rendition of the piece to lend realism
to the scene. Owing to the fact that no
permit from the mayor had been secured

were enforced and the boys had to drag

Bryan's Name

Editor Herald: In looking over papers
I see many of them continue to be quite
little exercised over Bryan's name.
Some of my friends tried to get me to
make statement when the article of
the famous J. Harvey OBrien first ap-
peared. but I supposed 1t to be only q
campaign shot intended for the noble (?)
purpose of appealing to race prejudice,
which is founded, of course, In ignorance.
I even doubted there being such person
as this O'Brien of Portland.
But l saw in your paper Of yesterday
that a lady of your city knows him.
though she does not seem to know much
good of him, which fact inclines me very
strongly to think he is not a relative Of
the nominee, whose people are pure, up
right, energetic people. / am almost
certain that this ]. Harvey is not a rela-
tive of the Bryans.
Judge Bryan's name is on the court
records for years and years. He wrote
it Slas l.. Bryan. w. j. Bryan's name

bull. Why should he change it when he
went to Lincoln. Neb., to O'Brien? I
never was in Lincoln and never read his
sign, but l am safe In saying he did not
do so. The whole story is a lie to those
who know him and his family-not mere
ly know of them. but know them individ-
ually and personally. What the name

VOTING FOR vIcE.pREsIDENr

Ignatius Donnelly may know all about
the authorship of work popularity ac-
credited to William Shakespeare, but,
if he is correctly reported in the dis
patches published yesterday, 1t is quite
apparent that he is not overburdened
with knowledge concerning the method
of electins a vice-president now in
vogue. Mr.. Donnelly is reported to have
said over his own signature, in a state
ment to the Associated Press, the fol-
| lowing:
Every Populist in the United States
will, think. vote for Mr.. Watson. If the
Democrats do not withdraw Mr. Sewall
there will be no election Of vice presi-
| dent at the ballot box. and the matter
VIII go into the senate, where the Pop
ulfsts hold the balance Of power and will
compel the election of MT Watson"
Evidently Mr.. Donnelly, like other per-
sons less distinguished, is of the impress
sion that the people vote directly for
president and vice president, when the
fact is that the people vote for electors
and the latter elect the president and
vice-president. In the event of the fail
ure of the electoral college to elect, a
majority vote being essential, the elec-
tion of president goes to the house of
representatives and of vice-president to
the senate. 1t will thus be seen that
every Populist in the United States"
will not have a chance to vote for Mr..
Watson directly, as Mr.. Donnelly seems
to fancy. They can vote for Bryan and
Watson electors. but there is little pros
pect of any considerable number of these
being elected. as the Populist strength
is confined to a few states. In fact. If the
Populists insist on voting for their own
electors their endorsement of the can
didacy of Mr.. Bryan will not do that gen.
tleman the practical good intended.
Such a course will only result in dividing
the forces that favor his election, and as
a result of a division of that kind Re-
publican electors may in some states be
chosen by a plurality vote. Populists
really desiring Bryan's election should |
vote for the regular Democratic electors. |
