lust, more trenchant, more wholesome,
than ex-President Harrison's arraign-
ment of the false democracy for preach
ing and countenancing anarchy and
revolution hae been spoken during the
canvass, and no speaker before the ex-
president had given this part of the
Chicago platform the attention its wick
edness and monstrousness entitled it to
receive.
In all that will be said and written
during the remainder of the canvass,
it will be difficult to add anything to
the statement and the argument of the
republican position that is not con-
tanned in what Senator Sherman, Can.
didate Mckinley and ex-President Har-
rison have recently contributed. There
will be but the adding of letter upon
letter and precept upon precept, in
every precinct of the American Union,
in terms adapted to the varying need
and comprehension of voters, from
what has already been spoken, and the
task of rescuing the nation from the
tolls spread by Altgeld and Tillman,
and their tools and accomplices in the
old democratic and the new populist
party, will end VIGOROUSLY.

Washington Notes,

ACCORDING to Hon. R. G. Kerens.
VINO knows thing or two about Mis-
souri, politics, that state is going repub-
llcan to dead certainty. Mr.. Kerens
made flying trip to Washington to
consult with Chairman Babcock of the
congressional committee, and while in
the city he said: "The republican
party is united and determined to win.
The democrats are hopelessly split, and,
with three parties in the field, we are
going to succeed and we ought to sue
coed. The democrats have held the
administration of Missouri for thirty
years, nearly third of century, and
1t is time for a change"
THE confidence with which the prom
lnent silver democrats started in to rush
Bryan into the White House has all
disappeared, and they are now 80 timd
that they are allowing themselves to
be bossed by the radical populists of
the Tom Watson stripe, and they are
running hither and thither, seeking
some evidence that Bryan has even
fighting chance to win. Chairman
Faulkner, of the congressional commit
tee, went to Chicago last week to see
"hNhiOl Sudll OOntS VI III 10 uh-
tional committee was able to cheer
him up, and since his return he has
found ii harder than ever to keep up a
bold front.
WHILE the democrats have been
making their eastern bluffs, the repub-
licans have been sending convincing
literature broadcast through the West.
The result is now becoming apparent
even to the most rabid Bryanite. Re-
ports from nearly all the western states
show that the silver wave which fol-
lowed the Chicago convention is rap
idly receding, aud, if things continue
to go as they are now going, we'll
informed republicans will not be sur
prised if Mckinley and Hobart carry
not only al of the agricultural states OF
the middle West, but also some of the
silver states. Mckinley and Hobart
are also rapidly gaining ground in the
South. West Virginia, Maryland and
Kentucky are put into the Mckinley
column by some very conservative
men.

Comprehensive and Patriotic,

The republicans have been most for.
tunate in declaring their position upon
the great questions referred to the PEG.
pie of this nation in the canvass proceed
ing the election of president and the
defining of the policy of this country
for the future. The convention of the
party at st. Louis shirked no RESPONSE
bility, evaded no public obligation.
Its utterances upon all public matters
were clear, firm and patriotic. On ev-
cry issue the lines were sharply drawn.
Recently three persons whose title
to speak authoritatively for the repub-
lican party none can dispute have ex-
pounded republican doctrine. Senator
Sherman, speaking in Ohio upon
finance with all the authority of a Mo-
sale law-giver, has 80 fortified the re-
publican position by an array of facts,
and so strengthened it by demonstra-
ton of its absolute soundness, that all
the piebald forces of populism shall
not prevail against it.
Governor McKinley's letter of &C.
ceptance-a calm, dispassionate discus
sion of the entire creed of republican,
ism, with nothing of The fervor of the
stump speech, or Of the platform ora
tion-comes like refreshing breeze
from the green hill.tops into the heated
atmosphere of political discussion.
The germs of political pestilence will
be waited away by its wholesome intlu-
ence. The fires of partisanship do not
burn in its firm but temperate sem
fences. TIE light of sound statesman
ship illumines all its passages, and the
yearnings of fervent patriotism
breathe through all its utterances. It's
concluding sentences must make an
end OF the long-treasured and much-ex-
plotted charge-for which there was
never any justification-that The repub-
lican party is the party of sectionalism.
If there has been "lost chord " in
the republican psalm of politics, up 10
this time, in this canvass, it has been
supplied by that other eminent and au-
thoritative expounder of repubicanism,
ex-President Harrison, in his recent
speech in New York. In the extract
published elsewhere in this issue.
which forms the opening part of the
speech, not republicans only, but every
American who is patriot before he is
a party man of any designation, will
find rebuke and a denunciation of
and revolution, which are the
head and front of the platform upon
which Mr.. Bryan is seeking the presi-
dency, that will excite a glow of patri-
otto satisfaction. Aud Mr.. Harrison
summons David b. Hill to the witness
stand to testify TO the accuracy and
justice of his Characterization of the

SECRETARY MERCER, of the republic
can congressional committee, thinks the
vote cast in November will be phenome-
nally large. Speaking on the subject
he said: "There never was such wide
spread interest in campaign. l know
that in my own district in Nebraska
the votes polled at the primaries
reached almost the total of general
election. Men who were sick braved
relapses in order to get to the polls,
and l know of one instance where a
man was rolled to his voting place in
an invalid's chair. With such interest
in primary, what will be the vote
when election day comes aroundp"

HARPER's WEEKLY makes an eff.
fective use of the deadly parallel in a
full-page illustration in its issue Of
August 20. At the left is picture of
a young soldier in United States uni
form, erect, musket by his side,
equipped for service, the national colors
near him, a shell bursting close by.
Above is the legend: "In 1861 Will
liam Mckinley was unfolding his coun-
try's honor, and he's doing it yeti"
AT the right is a " kid sitting in his
cradle, his hair dressed in an elaborate
" Boston" He, hourishing his rattle,
looks happy and contented, and on the
floor is his haversack," nursing
bottle. Above the outfit is the legend:
" In 1861 this is what William J. Bryan
was doing, and he's doing it yeti"
Force and significance is given to the
"parallel" by the fact that William
Mckinley was lad of seventeen years
when he enlisted in the Union army as
a private in 1861 and served through
the war.
