Bryan's denial of being in the pay
of any syndicate was promptly ac-
eepted by those making it. Some
notice is now due from the front
porch orator, of the charges connect
ing him with a syndicate. These
charges are clear, and without an
explicit denial. very convincing 1t
is alleged that a syndicate. at whose
head isMark Hanna, has in its posses
sion $llS,000 worth Of uncanceled
notes signed by Major Mckinley.
The bank in which these are depos-
tied has been named and located in
cleveland. If it is true that these
do exist, and it is not disputed, why
were they not cancelled? Why are
they kept alive if the syndicate loved
Mckinley enough to pay his debts?
If he is elected, will he dare to go
counter to the wishes of men who
could ruin him at any moment with
out the slightest exertion? What will
be the fate of the labor of the nation,
with President over them who is
in the power Of Hanna and his ilk?
Hanna, the greatest crusher of or
ganized labor that ever held his re-
pulsive head up in Freedoms sun
light. Hanna, the millionaire, the
robber, the insatiate, the cold blood
ed, the unfeeling. Woe to labor,
woe to liberty, woe to all that makes
life dear and sweet, if this monster
ever gets his creature in the Presi-
Dental chair. He knows no one but
self, he knows no obstacle to the
power of money. Will the Ameri-
I
can voter hand himself over bound
to be scourged by such savage as
he has proven himself to be? Will
they willingly walk into the jaws of
the lion? Will they immediate them
selves on such an altar, knowing the
consequences? No, thousand times
no. Rise in your might and smite
the proud usurper low. Vote for
the preservation Of your liberties.
For the first time since the civil
war the American people have wit
messed the ealamitous consequence
of full and unrestricted Democratic
control of the government. 1t has
been record of unparalleled inca
pacity, dishonor and disaster. In
administrative management it has
| ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable
revenue, entailed an unceasing defic-
it, eked out ordinary current ex-
penses with borrowed money, piled
up the public debt by $262, 100000
in time of peace forced an adverse
balance of trade, kept perpetual
menace hanging over the redemp-
ton fund, pawned American credit
to alien syndicates and reversed all
the measures and results of success
full Republican rule. In the broad
effect of its policy it has precipita-
ted panic, blighted industry and
trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages. halted enterprise and crippled
American production for the Ameri-
can market. Every consideration of
public safety and individual interest
demands that the government shall
be rescued from the hands of those
who have shown themselves incapa-
BILE of conducting it without dis
aster at home and dishonor abro adj,
and shall be restored to the party
which for 80 years administered it
with unparalleled success and pros

John Shermun's Letter.
These two extracts make together
what Horace Greeley would CALL in
teresting reading. Rescue the coun-
try from the Democrats who are ru-
ming and dishonoring it at home
and abroad, and turn it over to the
Republicans, who propose to do the
very same things This is one of the
most impudent of all demands that
lis made upon the voter this fall by
the Republican party. No hope, no
work, no credit, no honor, only mis-
cry, starvation and ruin are offered
by them. On the other hand the
Democrats are promising renewed
prosperity, advanced prices and
revival in business. Whom will you
accept, the party of gloomy despair,
or the party of rosy hope? The one
who confesses it can do nothing, or
the one that proposes to run the Z.

The Republicans are still losing
sleep over the rapid decline of the
'ssilver craze"
The boiling Democrats can hardly
be called confidence men, for they
have the confidence of nobody.

him, why don't the gold bug papersl
