ON THE
MONEY QUESTION
AS EXPRESSED IN HIS SPEECH OF FEB. =, 1873.
OPPOSED TO SILVER STANDARD.


We have forty thousand millions OF
property in this country. and a wise
self-interest will not permit us
to overturn its relations by seek
ing for an inferior dollar where
any creditor. The question nigh be
different from n merely selfish point Of
view If on paying the dollar TO the pub
lie creditor it would disappear after
performing that function. But the
trouble is the inferior dollar you pay
the public creditor remains in Circula-
ton to the exclusion of the better dol
lar. That which You pay at home will
stay here; that which you send abroad
will come back. The Interest of the
public creditor is indissolubly bound up
with the interest of the whcie people.
Whatever affects him affects us all;
and the evil which we might inflict up
on him by paying an inferior dollar
would recoil upon us with a vengeance
as manifold as the aggregate wealth of
the republic transcends the compare
lively small limits of our bonded debt"

BLA|NE FAVORED 4 DOUBLE STANDARD

81 am not in favor of either extreme--with those who
believe i'll the single gold standard or with those who, by
premature and unwise action. as | regard it. would force us
to a single silver standard. Either would be found. in my
Judgment. a great misfortune to our country. We need
both gold and silver. and we can have both only by MAXIM"
each equal to the Otlel."

BRYAN F~ALLACIES.


To the Editor of The Republican.
wonder if those who join with w. J..
Bryan in his bitter denunciation of our
financial system because England has
one similar in ONE respects to ours, do
not know that the self-same Bryan is,
at heart and always has benin his
political life-a most ardent advocate
Of free trade: a policy which is more
distinCtively English than the present
financial system of our country eel
vas or ever will be. Can Mr.. Bryan not
be a little more consistent? Can he not
have the manly honor to advocate a
change in our money matters. if he be-
lieves we need 4 change. without adpot-
ing the mean and contemplate method
OF trying to prejudice the minds of the
p OplC against our financial system sim
ply because another nation has the
same. Why not d%enounCe the English
alphabet, or the multiplication table?
To be consistent Mr.. Bryan should learn
10 speak and address the American peo~
pie in some other language rather than
that spoken in hatred England. He
should insist upon having the rising
6 neratlon taught sCme tongue Of which
England knows nothing, say the Next
can or Chinese language. or better still.
let Mr.. Bryan lean and instruct the
young in the dialect of the Indian. yes
by all means let us go back to the pure-
ly and distinctively American language
of the North American savage. If Mr..
Bryan wants to be so thoroughly Amer.
lean why not utterly abolish the hum
dred and one different things that this
country has in common with England.
France. Germany and all the leading
civilized nations of the world have a
financial system similar to ours but Mr..
Bryan forever haTps On the one string,
England" He does SO simply because
he thinks that deep down In the Ameri-
can breast there is a smoldering fire OF
hate for anything that is English
whether it is good or bad. and he hopes
to fan that fire into a flame that shall
consume InS common SelSe anu SOuuu
judgment of the American people, SO
that he nay have a chance of shipping
into the White House during the eX-
element aroused by his ill-advised
words. God forbid that our true Amer
lean citizens should forget themselves

sand times no. Our people are made OF
batter stuff and they will show by their
ballots next Tuesday that they can not
be swerved from the path of honor and
rectitude though there were a thousand
organs stumping the country in the in,
terestS of personal ambition and the
silver mine owners. Bryan may be elo-
quent but he will fail miserably in his
attempt to prove that the rich nan ia
the sworn enemy Of the poor, or that
10 impoverish the wealthy will benefit
the needy. The workingman knows
too well that he cannot prosper unless
his employer is successful. He knows
that it is folly to attempt to make his
fortune by tearing down that Of others
and he knows that the people of the
entire civilized world are looking to
him to help uphold the honor of our ma
ton by voting for VIM Mckinley.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Presid emit Cleveland Calls on the People to
Return Thanks Nov. &c.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The president
yesterday issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
The people of the United States should
never be unmindful of the gratitude they
owe the God of nations for His watchful
care which has shielded them from disas-
ter and pointed out to them the way of
peace and happiness. Nor should they
ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away from
Gods teachings and to follow with sinful
pride after their own devices. To the end
that these thoughts may be quickened, it
is lifting that on day especially appointed
we should join together in approaching
the throne of grace with praise and sup.
plication.
Therefore, /, Grover Cleveland, presi.
dent of the United States, do hereby desig-
nate and set apart Thursday, the goth day
of the present month of November to be
kept and observed as a day of thanksgiv.
ing and prayer throughout our land. On
that day let all our people forego their
usual work and occupation and, assembled
In their accustomed places of worship, let

preservation as a nation and it's deliver.
ance from every threatened danger; for
the peace that has dwelt within our boun.
diaries; for our defense against disease and
pestilence during the year that has passed
for the plenteous mercies that have fol.
lowed the labors of our husbandmcn, and
for all the other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to us. ..
And let us, through the mediation of
Him who has taught us how to pray, i'm,
plore the forgiveness of our sins and a
continuation of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of thanks
giving the poor and needy, and by deeds
of charity let our offerings of praise be
made more acceptable in the sight of the
Lord. .au ..
Witness my hand and the seal of the

bon county, for justice of the peace by
that staunch republican veteran, Martin
Kness.
Viola popo-demo by 70 majority as
they said few days ago, where every
body had gone populist, and not enough
republicans had been left for seed, gives.
Bryan beggarly majority of IL.
Oakfeld gives Mckinley 6S majority.
Sharon dead sure democratic gives 4
republican majority.
Lincoln Is democratic year ago goes
II republican this time thanks to her
German American citizens.
Melville, Greeley and Leroy townships

publican votes.
Almost the entire republican vote OF
Cameron township was straight.
Douglas republicans elect their entire
township ticket with a single exception.
That exception being r. M. Dickey, n
Mckinley democrat who is elected town
ship clerk.
The splendid result in this county
shows that most efficient work has been
done for the republican ticket by the
chairman of the county central commit
tee and the members from tho several
townships. The republican majority
against the combined opposition is re-
suit most gratifying to all. John A
Nash has devoted almost his whole time
since the opening OF the campaign, and
by his energy has kept up enthusiasm
from beginning to end in this, the long
est and hardest campaign ever made in
Audubon county, and he is entitled to
free and unlimited credit for the splen-
did results achieved by the party under
his management. The other members
OF the committee also deserve great
credit for the results attained in their
several precincts. Our force OF local
speakers, the glee clubs, bands, the or
ganized Mckinley clubs, and tho many
leading republicans in all parts Of the
county have served nobly in working
with common interest for tho common
cause A number OF democrats, in OPP
position to the majority OF their party
have lent large assistance to the magni-
ficent result attained by the republicans
in this county. These sound money
democrats who have laid aside their par
tisanship and joined with tho republi-
cans in defeating the fusionists also de-
serve a large share Of credit. Their
share in the victory is duly appreciated
by the republicans. We have won a
glorious victory. We can all rejoice to
gether, and place the credit of the glory,
in which all republicans can participate,
to those to whom it rightfully belongs.

The County Goes Repub-
IiCan by 800.
A GREAT VICTORY
The County Ticket With Single
Execution Goes I'm by Good
MajOrities.
Contest Over the Office of County
Auditor Very Close.

Election day passed quietly in the
several precincts in Audubon county.
There was no unusual excitement. The
differed from past elections in that it
took less effort to get out the vote than
in many former years. Everybody was
ready to vote and large majority of the
people voted early; probably three
fourths of the vote being polled by one
o'clock. The immense vote polled was
surprise at least to those who were
not informed as to the various ante
election polls that had been made, and
even these lists were increased in some
precincts. The vote OF the county is
increased by 500 or 600 over that cast a
year ago.
On the head of the ticket the county
gives Mckinley about 300 plurality over
Bryan.
Congressman Hager has majority of
270 over Genung.
Judge Macy run even with the head
of the ticket.
In the local field Harry Woodward
is elected clerk over J. f. Garnett by
majority Of over $50. This is a magni
fcient victory for Mr.. Woodward, his
opponent being candidate for re-elec-
ton and having been exceedingly popular
with people generally and popular at the
polls when he was elected two years ago.
Martin Esbeck, of Kimballton, is
elected recorder by nearly 300 majority.
His election is a great victory. j. III.
SCOTT was candidate for second term
and man who has hosts Of friends. He
was the one opposition candidate with
whom the republicans expected the
greatest trouble to defeat.
Frank Brainard goes in for county
attorney by about 175 majority, receiv-
ing almost as good vote as did his
opponent Mr.. Wonn in his phenomenal
run for this office two years ago.
Sam Garmire is evidently is some re-
lation to that Eli, who got there. Sam
is 70 votes ahead of his ticket, his
majority being about $40 over Ed Nor
thup.
ID. w. Powers appears by the unofii-
cial returns to have been defeated for
auditor by Thos. Lohner by small
majority. The official count may
change this figure either way and until
the count is made the result will be in
doubt.
Various townships have glories OF
their own. Leroy is proud of her
straight republican votes to the number
Of $50, only 35 Leroy republicans having
scratched their tickets.
The Extra republicans carried their
township in the face Of democratic poll
claimed to be absolutely correct giving
the democrats majority Of 70.
The Greeley boys had only eight
scratched republican tickets. And they
