FELL WITH A CRASH.
Fatal Accident in the Ruins Of the
Old Chicago Postoffice
Building,

Chicago, Ill.,, July 22.-By the falling
of a portion of the interior dome of the
old postoffice building, at Clark, Adams,
Jackson and Dearborn streets, this
morning, one workman was instantly
killed and another so badly injured that
his life is despaired of.
The dead man is Nicholas Smith.
Elmer Stringer was terribly crushed by
the tangled mass of iron and stone.
An immense derrick was loaded with
weight of stone and was about to
lower it's load into the old rotunda. The
old dome on the Clark street side of the
building, on which the men were stand
ing, fell in with crash. Both men were
buried in the mass.

The total Democratic and Populist vote
in these states is 995, 1924, and the Re
publican vote 927 ,O7S. In case there is a
heavy bolt of silver Republicans the COM
bined vote in favor of a silver candidate
will be more than 100000.
Iowa and Minnesota are included in
the foregoing table. These states are
among those not in the doubtful column
by the silver men. In Iowa the Repub-
icans had in the last election big lead
over both Populists and Democrats. In
Minnesota the combined vote of the
Populists and Democrats is few thous-
and in excess of the Republican vote.
In the other alleged doubtful states of
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and
Wisconsin the Populist vote in 1892 was
not large, but showed an increase in the
elections of 1894. The following was the
vote in these states in 1904:

In the Way Of straw Votes.

The typographical union of Chi
cago, says the Pittsburg Post, re-
Gently had poll taken of the me-
chanical force in the five leading
Chicago daily newspaper offices, the
Tribune, Record, Chronicle, Inter
Ocean and Times Herald. All OF
these papers are bitter and uncom-
promising advocates of McKinley's
election and pour hot shot into the
free silver cause daily. Printers
from the nature of their occupation,
are supposed to be tolerably well in
formed and possessed of reasonably
good judgment. We safely challenge
comparison in that respect with all
the bank employees of Chicago or any
other city. The canvass of the print
ers in those five large newspaper of
fees showed 81 for Bryan and A
for Mckinley. The vote on governor
stood Altgeld 1874 and Tanner Is.
This is considered fair index of
Governor Altgeld's strength among
the workingmen. In one of the Ar
mour stock yards an Australian bal
lot was taken a few days ago and
showed CTS for Bryan and 125 for
Mckinley, and in another shop the
vote stood 2S7 for Bryan and II for
Mckinley. The Dispatch says it is
known at Democratic headquarters
That the Chicago Tribune,
through its correspondents and
agents made canvass of employees
in all the large manufacturing towns
of Illinois. The result was such an
amazing majority for Bryan that the
returns were destroyed. They indi-
Gated majority Of $4,000 for Bryan
and even larger for Altgeld. The
only consolation left the Mckinley
managers is to take factory ballots
in the presence of officials and loud
ly proclaim the result as a victory
for gold, despite the fact that all
such ballots are criminally fraudu-
lent on their face.

And So ia Goes.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer gives
an amusing account of the return of
a Canton excursion to that city on

marched up the streets, hurrahing
for Bryan. We quote from the PLAN

The cry was taken up and thous-
ands joined the procession. The
men marched around the square
and cheered the free silver men who

HARRISON UPHELD SILVER!

ed. The following opinion of Presi-
dent Harrison on the causes of high,
er prices in his annual message te
Congress, December l, 1890, is as
good an argument for the platform
of the Democratic party as could
have been written by Mr.. Bryan him.
self. 1t is particularly valuable be-
cause it is based on facts brought
under Mr.. Harrison's observation.
The extract from the message is as
follows:
The general tariff act has only
partially gone into operation, some
of its important provisions being
limited to take effect at dates yet in
the future. The general provisions
of the law have been in force less
than sixty days. Its permanent eff
feet upon trade and prices still large
ly stands in conjecture. 1t is cur
ious to note that the advance in the
prices of articles wholly unaffected
by the tariff act was by many hastily
ascribed to that act. Notice was not
taken of the fact that the general
tendency of the markets was upward
from influences wholly apart from
the recent tariff legislation.

And Had Marked Effect on Prices,

Anarchisln?

Mr.. Bryan has done well to call at
tention to the Inconsistency of the
Republicans In denouncing the mild
criticism of the Supreme Court by the
Chicago Convention.
He himself has referred to the atti-
tude and utterances of the Republican
party in the beginning of its existence
with regard to the decisions Of the
court on certain questions. The mine
of Republican denunciation of the
Supreme Court in connection with de-
cisions on the slavery question is al
most inexhaustible. The Republicans
believed then that the people had a
right to interpret the Constitution
and to record their interpretations in
laws. 1t was their boast for years
that the people had reversed the Su-
preme Court.
In 1860 Governor Andrews of Massa-
chusetts, running for Governor on a
Republican platform which branded
s'as usurpation the opinion given by
members of the Supreme Court" de-
clared:
| The Constitution of the United
States is no hidden thing; it's scripture
is no private Interpretation. 1t was
made by the people, for the people; it
was adopted by themselves, and upon
it they established their Government.
VIII any one dare to say that the peo-
pie do not and can not comprehend
that Instrument. No sir. From that
decision appeal. From that decis-
ion the people appeal, have appealed.
The Democratic utterance is as mild
as the coo of dove in comparison
with these words. 1t is gentle as the
bleat of lamb compared with the
words of the members of the court.
That eminent Republican, Justice
Harlan, denounced the income tax de-
cision s'as judicial revolution that
may sow the seeds of hate and distrust
among the people of the different Sec
tions of our country" and added that,
as the overthrow of former decisions
and the settled practice of the Gov
eminent, sit strikes at the foundation
of national authority"
Justice Brown did not hesitate to
express the fear that it was the first
step towards "the submergence of the
liberties of the people in sordid des-
potism of wealth." Justice Jackson
denounced 1T as the ''most disastrous
blow ever struck at the constitutional
power of Congress.
Are these men anarchists and de-
stroyers of law and authorityp Do
they want to subvert Republican in
situations and trample upon the dig
nifty and authority of their own court?
But to emphasize the ridiculous ma
ture of the charge that the Democrat
ic party is revolutionary because it
suggests the reversal of a Supreme
Court decision it is only necessary to
bear in mind that the final income tax
decision was the reversal of the decis-
ions Of the court for nearly hundred
years, the last of which had been
made but thirty days before. 1t would
require the change of only one Judge
to take the court back to the inter-
probation of the Constitution which
all its predecessors and this very court
affirmed.

Bryant

There is magic in the name: Above
and beyond all other men. He is the
grand central figure of the contest. A
platform in himself; brave, defiant,
patriotic, sincere and eloquent, per.
feet type Of American manhood, he
stands before the people and wins
their love and admiration. And well
may they Glove him for the enemies
he has made"
Who is there to compare with himq
Not another! Not onel
This may seem grandiloquent, and
applied to any other public man of the
present day it would be absurd. But
not SO with Bryan. 1t proves how
great a thing it is to be honest, to be
brave, to be sincere, to be patriotic,
to be true, so honest, so brave, so sin
cere, so patriotic and so true, that no
language in its perfect application can
be exaggerated in description. Wet
zel Democrat.

Bryan's Great Work.

The popularity of Mr.. Bryan as an
orator and advocate seems to in
crease as the campaign progresses.
The audiences that he addresses
are in every case limited only by the
capacity of the place in which he
speaks and for the sake of conven-
fence and brevity they are never de
scribed in ordinary press reports but
are spoken of as so many thousands.
Viewing his career of late from what
ever standpoint may be chosen, it is
one of the wonders of our time. To
form some faint idea of the physical
power alone required to endure such
an ordeal, the reader needs but to
recall any railway trip he has made
that took him through day and
night with irregular stoppages and
rest broken into by various means;
then let him if he can add to this
wearisome experience the necessity
of being as bright as a brand new
dollar and as fresh as the proverbial
daisy at all points and almost all
times, with the additional necessity
of keeping it up day after day and
week after week. Nothing but the
most perfect constitution, robust
health and regular habits could en-
dure it, and the wonder is he has not
broken down long before this. But
the mere physical requirements of
the case are only part and not the
most exacting part of it at that. To
be ready for set speech whenever
called on, which sometimes happens
dozen times day, and avoid repe-
tition, monotony or even an appear
ance OF falling off requires an intel
lect with copiousness of ideas and
fuency of expression well nigh mar
velous.
1t is no wonder his audiences are
so large and that those who would
hear him if they could get near
enough but cannot, steadily increase
in number. OF course some little
curiosity must be accepted as a fac
tor in the case, but the curiosity, we
take tits more the product of query
in the minds of the people as to
how the man will express his ideas
and what new thoughts will be gen
Grated than to any mere desire to see
the man himself Nor can the en-
thusiasm with which he is ever
greeted and the cordial appreciation
with which his arguments are as
sented to, be attributed to idle curl
osity. His utterances are received |
as new gospel and his hearers go
away with all the zeal and enthusi-
asm of the new convert.
When those fortunate auditors who
had heard his great speech at the
Chicago convention spoke of his
wonderful eloquence and the master
full way in which he carried away
that vast audience, many of them
against their former convictions,
testy critics declared his intellectual
powers cistern rather than foun-
tain which, after repeated draughts
upon it, would become dry; but on
the contrary it seems, if anything,
more copious and capacious than at
the beginning. No two speeches are
exactly alike and all have some one
or more special features of interest.
