BEWARE OF
FALSEH0ODS
Republican Campaign Lies Ready
to be Sprung on The Eve Of
The Election.
FOREWARNED, FOREARMED

Mark Hanna's scheme to Inject Religious
Prejudice Into The Campsign-Do No,
be Deceived by These Tricks-Tho Hop-
Of Mckinley Is Throu ugh Bribery and Cor
ruption.
1t may truly be said that politics
of money in this campaign as used by
the Republicans is making strange
bedfellows; for instance, the head Of
fee of the order of the A. l.. 4. organ
ization in this city are working night
and day sending out documents To
prove 10 the people that they should
vote for Mckinley, while dispatch
informs us cn the other hand that
Archbishop Ireland. a Catholic pre-
late, OF st. Paul, Mian., has come out
for Mckinley.
The Republicans have now in print
and readiness for mailing millions OF
copies of a document which is 10 be
sprung upon the public just before the
election, and too late, as they hope. Ia

give the alleged details of Mr.. Bryan

The press should give this information
as wide circula ion as possible at once
inorder to thwart this roorback, which
is to be sprung against Mr.. Bryan i'm
mediately before the election. 4
