mon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky,
for Vice. President. This ticket is
only intended, of course, to pull
votes away from Bryan and silver
and to help the cause of Mckinley
and goldbugism, but it will not, in
our judgment, be of much if any
benefit to the gold cause.
The Wheeling Register says:
"The Hon. John r. Donehoo, of
Hancock, gold Democrat who
was in attendance at the Indianap-
oils convention, does not shut his
eyes to the facts of the case. He
told an Indianapolis Sentinel re-
porter that it is conceded by all
Republicans and gold Democrats
that Bryan will carry that State
(West Yirginia). There is no
doubt about it.
The throwing off of parties is
very common in this campaign.
Those who have deserted the Re-
publican party are the wage earn
ers, the farmers and laboring men
generally. Those who have left
the democracy are the rich men or
those connected with the great cor
porations. Does it need any fur
Their evidence to show which party
represents the peoples cause and
which stands for the corporations
and the moneyed classes.-Fair-

The people are SO much in earn
est in their demands for free silver
that they do not want to wait till
England consents to give it to us.
What reflection on American in
dependence and American man
hood to talk about waiting for 9th
er countries to give us what we
want, what we need and what we
can have, without waiting for the
other nations of the world. We
didn't wait in 1776, nor do we pro-
pose to wait in 1896. We deny
the imputation that the sons of our
noble sires have lost any of the pa
triotismsof our forefathers.-Ex.
The Republican leaders must
be getting scared over the outlook
in Ohio. as it is reported they are
begging for outside help. Bryan's
great ovations at Cleveland, Col
umbus, Springfield and Toledo are
enough to scare them. 1t shows
that the masses of the Buckeye
State are thinking for themselves
this time, and we believe that it
means great victory for free silver.
Aspecial dispatch from Barracks
vile, w. Va, to the Wheeling Reg
ter, dated Sept. Bird, says that
free silver club was organized there
on the End inst. with member
ship of 1873, and that there are only
about eight Republicans left in the
town, and hope to get them in the
club before the election.
An exchange says that thirty
eight out of forty-two members of
the Union Veteran League, of Can
ton, Ohio, are for Bryan and free
silver. They decided by a unani-
nous vote to attend the Bryan
meeting at Cleveland on the 31st
ult., and they went. Trouble in

eff the silver people win, 1 be-
lieve there will be such a revival i'll
business, such n booming in indus
tries, which are now inactive, and
such a general shaking up of COM
mcrcial interests that the country
will be sure to prosper. Rev. DR..

Ex-COngressman Jas. Il. Evans,
Republican, of Indiana, is reported
to have declared for Bryan and
Sewall. They are coming our way
all tho time.
The ovations given to Mr.. Bryan
in New York and Ohio, and in fact
every where he goes, are wonderful,
and certainly mean his election by
n great majority.
