To Democrats.

The great fight of 1896 is over. and
after the smoke of battle is cleared
away. we find many tropics dangling
from our flag staff, and nothing TO be
ashamed of. Our enemies have re-
sorted to abuse and all kinds of Wifi
cation. And even now their papers
cannot refrain from their old practice
of calling US blatherskites. cranks.
lunatics, etc. But the truth remains
that the goldbugs have had but two ar
guments in this campaign. One was
money; the other was coercion. With
them they carried their one issue,
which was to elect Mckinley. These
facts we will remember. But we have
won an unprecedented state and local
victory. All credit to the Fertile
Springs convention. II We had waited
till after the Chicago convention to or
GAME our state forces, our electoral
vote would now be in the Mckinley
column. And our popular leader is
still as popular as ever. What presi-
Dental candidate ever before was of
fered such munifcent prices for his
merit as ours is? $4,000 to head a
law firm, or his complete travelling ex-
penses paid for four years to keep on
making speeches, or $50, 900 a year to
engage with Lecture Bureau! Who

Company, in Wayne county drove their
employees to the polls like cattle to
vote for the gold standard, yet in spite
of the company's efforts the county
went for free silver, and the Democrats
redeemed the county from Republican
ism by electing every Democrat on the
ticket. When the legislature meets,
we hope it will remember these truck

UNCLE GEORGES pREDICTION.---
Hon. Geo. ID. Tiilmau has given the
Augusta ChrOnlcl9 his opinion OF the
Democratic nominee, VIM. j. Bryan,
as follows:
During my career in Congress ] spent
sixteen winters in Washington, where
l came In contact more or less with
nearly all the great men of this cOun-
Try, and with many from foreign coun-
tries AMI while serving two years in
Congress with Bryan, he always inn
pressed me as being the greatest man
| ever met, and rs bcing just as good
as he was great. AS an orator | havo
never heard but three men who could
be compared with him. They were
Ben Hill, Blaine and Black burn. He
either knows everything or has such q
facility Of reference 10 books that he
can quickly get any information he
wants. His memory is simply marvel
Gus, and he has such an intimate
knowledge OF men that he can read
their characters at Il glance. He is
always at work seeking knowledge, by
reading, conversation or reflection,
and seems to look upon idlcness as d
crime. If he has even any small vice
chewing, smoking, drinking, gaming,
cursing, etc, | never discovered it
during two years personal and Official
intercourse with him. In fact, tho
man always appeared TO be couscien-
tiously inspired with enthusiasm to do
good for others. Yet he is u most
devoted father, and acts more like u
lover than husband towards his wife.
In Il few words, morally speaking, he
is so well balanced that he could not
Intentionally do wrong thing if he
ere to try, and his intellect is SO clear
ant strong that he al lWaVS avoids evil
as near as it is human to 40 go. There
fore, | Think Bryan will be president
because he ought to be, because he was
born great, and because not even the
presidency could confer greatness upon
him."

ARE You RIGHT-LEGGED Pin q
paper which he read before New
York scientific association a physician
said that man, generally characterized
as right handed animal, is also popu-
larly supposed to be right-legged. This
theory is, however, he maintains, not
supported by fact. When man is
standing and is working with the right
hand there is a tendency to use the
left leg for balance.
Many persons find it easier to round
circles to the right than to the left.
Race courses are almost always made
for running In circles TO the right, and
it win be noticed that tho majority of
movements, like dancing and running,
are more readily performed in that
direction.
The general rule OF walking Is that
OF keeping to the right, and 1t appears
to have foundation In nature. OF q
large number of Intelligent persons
who are asked about the existence OF
this rule, only 67 per cent. among men
and SO per cent. among women were
aware OF 1t. This supports the fact
that it is unconsciously obeyed.
All crowds tend to bear toward the
right. The left leg being stronger II
is more readily brought into action, and
for that reason troops start with the
left foot. 1t Is the foot which is placed
In the stlrrup OF the saddle or the step
of the bicycle, in mounting, and it is
that upon which u man rests Ia making
jump.

this resolve faithfully for fifty years,
which was as long us he held office.
DE married a young and beautiful
widow and could play the violin ex-
quisitely, both of which were Demo-
cratic usages, and still are, though
neither playing the fiddle nor shooting
ducks are put in any mo1crn plat
form.
But the issue now is concerning the
currency. an abtruse speculative Ques-
tion about which the average man
knows SO little that he ought to be
ashamed to talk and thereby show his
ignorance. And yet there are here and
there good citizens who profess to
know all about it and will talk about
sound money and Jcffcrsonian De-
mocracy as gushingly as u professor
OF political economy in q Northern
college.
| wish we could put the X rays upon
this question and explore it, but as we
cannot and as the great men of the ma
tion conscientiously differ on it | am
going to pin my faith to the purest and
best mani know of in public life. He
is as pure in private life and as poor a,
Jefferson, and could have written the
deolsraSion 5;s Of independenco- il he, had
iived In that day, for Jefferson was
then only thirty-three yeBrs old. NV
admiration for William j. Bryan is
vory great and | shall bank on him
with more reliance than on the plat
form: A Republican Congress can
knock Democratic platform into fits,
but they can't move Mr.. Bryan from
his convictionsinorihis integrity. When
these gold standard papers assail him
and make sport of him he can say to
them as job did to his three friends
" No doubt ye are the people and wis
dom will die with you.''

STEWART WRITES TO NEWMAN.
The Nevada Senator Replies to the
Bishop.


The following caustic letter has been
addressed by Senator Stewart, of Ne
VVada, to Bishop Newman, who recent
~ gave vent to a savage attack on the
National Democratic ticket and plat
form {:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 1896.
Bishop John Il. Newman, Methodist
Episcopa: Church, Phil ,delphia, Pa.
Dear Sir:-l am panied to see in the
pubic press statement to the effect
that you have joined the enemies of
your country to oppress and rob the
great mass of your fellow citizens.
III the published quotations from your
speech are correct, you have Endorsed
Inc ciandcstlne legislation of 1873,
whereby ne-half Of the metallic money
of tho world was destroyed and the
value of the other half doubled. You
have also indorscd the schemes of the
money powers Of London and New
York to control the gold of the world,
advance its purchasing power, reduce
the Value OF property and services, and
thereby build up moneyed obligarchy
on tho ruins OF the Republic.
Inere Is no excuse for q man of yOur
intelligence to advocate the gold stand
ard. You know that the purchasing
power OF gold has been advanced by
lfauuulent legislation and wicked m an
ipulation fully 100 per cent; that the
rich have been made richer and the
poor poorer; that the government of
the United States is fast becoming a
government Of plutocracy. In former
days you mourned over the practices
by which the earnings of the masses
were transferred to few. Now YOU
even go so for as to advocate the elec-
tion of William Mckinley, who in
dorses the policy Of Grover Cleveland,
OF John Sherman, OF Pierpont Morgan,
and Of the agents of the Rothschilds on
both sides Of the Atlantic Do YOU
know that William Mckinley, or rather
Mark Hanna, who controls the action
of NJ. Mckinley, contends that the
United States has no power to coin
money and regulate the value thereof,
although the constitution expressly
confers such power?
thank you that you have told the
people your evil purposes. This may
have been lndiscrcet on your part, but
assure you that it viii put honest
men on guard against the wicked work
you propose, and perhaps your evil
boas ing may prove boomerang and
a benefit to the cause Of honest money
and honest mon. Yours truly.
