Stand by the Ticket.


The gold standard men, or some ofthem, de-
cline to stand by the decision of the Chicago
convention, and be it said to their diseredit,
some of the delegates have declined to sup
port the ticket. The bimetalist in the party
stood by the nominees in 1884, 1888 and 1892.
To them continuation of the single gold
standard meant ruin and disaster if long con-
tinued, but they abided by the decision of the
majority and Loyalty stood by the nominees.
Repeated failure and refusal to do some
thing to relieve the masses from the death
grip of the moneyed classes finally determined
the bimetalists to take matters in their own
hands. They went to primaries and eonven-
fions, sent political hacks to the rear, and
carried the necessary two-tbrds of the dele
gates to control the national convention.
They adopted platform embodying their
views and nominated candidates to carry
them out.
Now they go before the country and ask
all Democrats to stand by the action of the
convention as they have done in the past. 1t
the gold standard men had won the day at
Chicago they would have expected every BIZ
metalIist to Loyalty support the ticket. They
would have questioned the Democracy of all
who did not and denounced them as traitors.
Stand up to yonr duty, then, you gold
standard men. You are in honor bound TO
do So The country is not going TO the bad,
ON the contrary money is to be more plenty
and times easier. The farmer will get more
for his products and will be able to pay his
debts and taxes, be able to buy more, and
there can be no prosperity when agriculture

Bryan and Sewan.

Before the last edition of the ADVOCATE had
all come from the press, amid the greatest en-
thusiasm William Jennings Bryan, Of Nebras-
ka, was nominated for President of the United
States, and on Saturday the ticket was com
Melted by the nomination of Arthur Sewall, of
Maine, for Vice President.
The ticket is a winner. Mr.. Bryan is the
one man of this generation who made a
national reputation in the first session of his
first term in Congress. He is not only easily
the first orator of the country, but he is a
broad, brainy man. He immersed every OPP
ponent while in Congress, including the lead
ing men ofboth parties, and at Chicago Sen
ator Hill, of New York, one of the great pub
lie men ofthe day, was no match for him. 1t is
well for John X Cowen, of Maryland. big
Drained man, that he did not go to Chicago, for
he would have had his laurels plueked by the
Giant of the West. No man, so far, has been
able to cope with Bryan IN debate, and Hon.
John P. Poe says that when he comes east
with his fund of knowledge and matchleSS
oratory he is bound to create profound I'M
preston.
Mr.. Sewall is shipbuider, and owns and
sails more ships than any other American
He is also president of bank and interested
in various enterprises.
Sketches of both nominees will be found OF
the first page, also Mr. Bryan's speech IN the
Chicago convention. in defence of the plat
form there adopted.

The Populists.

Some stress is being laid upon the fact that
the Populsts will support the Democratic
ticket The moaopolistic press would make
their readers believe the Populists are some
thing terrible They are mostly Western
farmers who have left the Democratic and
Republican parties because neither party
would give relief TO agriculture. In their
desperation they have gone TO extremes in
some of their IDEAS but now that they have
Joined the Democrats they viii be held in
check by the conservative heads that will d.
rect the party through Mr.. Bryan's admins
tration The Populsis would be all right and
q very desirable acquisition TO the Mckinley
Gold Bug Protection Monopoly Combine.
The Gold Bug press would announce the fact
in big head lines had they endorsed Mckinley.
By combination of Democrats and Popu-
lists four years ago, Mr. Cleveland secured
electoral votes he otherwise would not have
gotten BY combination of Republicans
and Populisis in North Carolina the Repub-
Iieans gained two United States Senators, and
the Republican party of Virginia made an
alliance with the regulators of that state in
1881 and secured two Republican Senators in
the persons of Malone and Riddleberger.
Both parties have accepted the aid of the
Populists, and the Gold Bugs this year are
only disappointed that they will have no aid
from them in this campaign and are now de-
nnuneing them.

A Word of Encouragement.

EDITORS az ADvocArE-Permt me to
thank you on the part of myself and many other
Democrats for the political aspect Of your pa
per last week. There canbe no ifs or 6uts now
with the true Democrat about the two coins OF
the constitution of our country. There can be
no bowling the knee to any foreign power as
to what time he, she or it is, ready to dictate
to this country what is to be our monetary
system. This government is strong enough,
wise enough and rich enough not to fear that
she will suffer at the hands of foreign poten-
tates, or at the angry cry of gold syndicates;;
The coin of the constitution, of Jefferson and
Hamilton, and the minting of Is ounces of sill
yer to one of gold, or pounds of silver to one OF
gold or sixteen dollars ofsilver to one gold dol
lar, will not bring distress but prosperity. II
there be any distress it will be found with the
Wall Street gold brokers, or with the old maid
ofThreadneedle Street, London. Carroll coun-
ty Democrats should be up and doing. The
people have taken the silver bit in theiI
mouth, and have jumped into the manhood
estate of jackson.
Let him who will fall behind. The wheels
will pass over him. j. b. PURCELL

Mckinley and Bryan.

Bryan knows enough of finance to make
enough money to support himself and family
and lay some aside. Mckinley went pell-
nell into debt and his obligations were dis
charged by a syndicate, who are now manag
ing him as Presidential candidate. Bryan
won his nomination upon his own merits
There was no ring rule or dictation III the
Chicago convention. That was peoples con-
vention, where the plain Democrats were in
the majority. The Republican convention was
owned and controlled by Mark Hanna, McHin.
ley's boss. In voting for Mckinley the people
are really voting for Mark Hanna and his syn
dictate. In voting for Bryan the people are vo-
ting for free and untrammeled man, one with
mind of his own, and with fixed principles and
purposes. Mckinley did not know where he
stood until Mark Hanna convention spoke.
He was ordered to keep mum, SO he could
stand on any kind of a platform that would be
manufactured, for the platform was matter
of much uncertainty. The syndicate did not
intend to have their plans frustrated by let
ting their candidate talk. They wanted Nc
Kinley nominated. Owning the candidate
they cared nothing for the platform.

Party Detection.

The ADVOCATE said last week that there
woud be more describing of party lines in
this campaign than ever before in this conn
try. The Democratic detection east of the
Ohio river is large but not near so great us
expected, and the Republican detection is
nearly as great All over the country voters
are changing, but in the end the Democrats
will be vastly the gamers. The great majority
of the gold standard Democrats of the North
and East seem inclined to stand by the
Chicago nominees, but almost every daily
paper of the great Atlantic cities is against the
ticket. This was anticipated. The Journal
is the only great daily of New York that sup
ports Bryan and Sewall, and it has started in
vigorously and strong.
The Democrats, however, have but little
to lose by detection in its ranks east of the
Ohio. Every state heretofore has been hope
lessly Republican except New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut. OF these New York
and Connecticut have been uncertain, and New
Jersey alone has been regarded as reliable
Democratic state. If the losses are not made
up by gains the party has not lost anything
but New Jersey, and this loss will be made
up several times over by gains of electoral
votes in the West. The party therefore, is
not disturbed by the opposition of the dailies
Of the large cities, or the dropping out Of the
party of men who place their private above
public interests. All such are uncertain and
unreliable and the party is better without
them. Such men as Gill and Cowen are
always elements of weakness, for their own
wisdom is superior to that of the party, in
their own conceit, and it is hoped neither viii
call himself Democrat again
The ADVOCATE anticipates sweeping vic
tory for Bryan and Sewall. 1t expects to see
the Democracy carry every state south of
Mason and Dixon's line, and every one west
of the Ohio river. and there will be surprises
in some of the Northern and Eastern States.
The free coinage of gold and silver idea has
taken hold of the masses in these sections,
and this, too, in spite of hostile press. In
Baltimore city there is said to be IA strong
sentiment for free coinage among laborers
and mechanics, and there will be large Re-
publican vote for the Chicago nominees
When the farmers get time to look into the
matter there can be no question where they
will be found on election day. Free coinage
is the only salvation for the farmer, and he
will not be slow in finding it out.
Mckinley is already beaten.

PROPHETIC
Was the Speech of the Late James
G. Blaine ON Silver.

flames G. Blaine in the United States Senate 1885,
81 believe the struggle now going on in
this country and in other countries for a
single gold standard would, if successful, pro-
duce widespread disaster in and throughout
the commercial world The destruction OF
silver as money, and establishing gold as the
sole unit of value, must have ruinous effect
on all forms of property except those invest
ments which yield fixed return in money.
Those would be enormously EXCHANGED in
value, and would gain disproportionate and
unfair advantage over every other species of
property. If, as the most reliable statistics
affirm, there are nearly 81, 600 900, 600 of coin
or bullion in the world, very equally divided
between gold and silver, it is impossible to
strike silver out of existence as money with
out results that will prove distressing to mil
lions, and utterly disastrous TO tens of thou
sands.
II believe gold and silver coin to be the
money of the constitution; indeed, the money
of the American people anterior to the con-
stitution, which the great organic law recog-
nized as quite independent of its own exis-
tence. No power was conferred on Congress
to declare either metal should not be money.
Congress has, therefore, in my judgment, no
power to demonetize either. If, therefore,
silver has been demonetized, am in favor of
remonetizing it. If its coinage has been
prohibited, | am in favor of ordering it to
be resumed. am in favor of having it en-
larged

Bryan's Age.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan, the Demo-
cratic nominee for President, was thirty-six
years old on the 10Th of last March, and will
not be quite thirty-s seven when inaugurated
next March, Not being able to attack him
upon any other point his youth is pointed to
as reason why he should not be elected.
The ADVOCATE has always commended that
age counts for nothing Youth and mex
perience do not go hand in hand nor is wis
dom always linked to gray hairs and wrinkled
brow.
Charles MI Of Sweden was but little more
than eighteen when he fought the battle Of
Narva, and routed $4,000 intrenched Russians
with an army of 5000 Swedes. Richelieu
was Secretary of State of France at twenty
five. Napoleon Bonaparte was only thirty
when made First Consul. Hannibal was in
his zenith at thirty. Alexander the great died
in his 3Sd year. Alexander Hamilton was
Secretary of the Treasury when thirty-two.
jefferson was only thirty-three when he wrote
the Declaration of Independence.
The "Fathers of the Republic were in
reality young men. Of the forty-three signers
of the Declaration of Independence, only five
had reached the age of sixty. Twenty were
less than lorty-Rve and all the leading spirits
were less than forty. History is full of exam
pies of distinguished services of young men.
la our own time there are numerous exam
pies Pattison was Governor of Pennsyl-
vania at thirty-two, and so well did he fill the
Office he was called again to the gubernatorial
chair at forty, and at forty-ive his state en-
dorsed him for President. Russell was Gov
ernor of Massachusetts at thirty-two, and at
thirty-seven the delegates to the Chicago con-
vention supported him for President. Bryan
was an easy winner over both Pattison and
Russell His career in Congress had given
him national reputation when he was thirty
one. His big brain, his conservative judg-
ment. his wisdom, his matchless oratory, his
firm stand as the champion of the peoples
rights pointed him out as the great leader TO
carry the party to victory.
Age does not count, and Bryan will make
President who will rank with the strongest
and ablest.

What Was Caught.

The Republican platform was constructed
to catch every conceivable class of voters. not
regularly attached to either great party, but
the money plank, and the bringing TO Eng
land, has driven all away except the stock
jobbers and gamblers, the monopolists and
the press controlled by the money power.
McRinley's supporters will be an odd lot of
extreme protectionists and fat-footed free
traders, and in the end he will be controlled
by the manufacturers who paid his debts and
have his notes for $l1s,0Oo.
All the other class of floating voters will be
attracted to the standard of Bryan, who stands
for the rights and interests of the people
against the robbery and oppression of the
trusts, combines and the money power gener-
ally. Nobody owns Bryan. He pays his
own debts.
