State street to the notes of the demoralized

clamor Of the drunkeI, excited throng,

"Thc National Campaigner" is the title
of publication which has just come from
the press of Dudley n. Limerick g. Co., of
4O3l Locust street, Philadelphia. Starting
out with the assumption that marching
songs are most valuable feature of II pc.
litical campaign, twenty Republican cam
paign songs have been here collected, some
of them original, but with u fair sprink-
ling Of old favorites which have often be-
fore demonstrated their popularity and
effectiveness in campaign work. The
publican songs.
A good campaign club will do as much
good as u dozen stump orators. Songs go
deeper spread farther and lingcr in the
memory longer than stump speeches, hence
the great Importance and value of such an
excellent collection of Campaign music as
this. But while this little pamphlet Of
thirty odd pages contains about twenty
stirring songs, adapted to singing club
purposes, that is not all we can find in its
pages. There is a large body of most ex.
cellent campaign literature in addition.
The ablest arguments that have been
called forth against the silver heresy have
been collected and given proper setting,
SO that even though person can do no
singing, he is provided with the very best
campaign literature of the day.
In fact, we have nowhere seen so much
good music and so much convincing hon
est money argument compressed into such
convenint compass. 1t would be most
excellent idea if the National Republican
Committee were to adopt this useful broCh.
rrc as a campaign document and spread it
broadcast by millions over the country.
1t would do the work of thousand cam
paign orators and do it most effectively.

Atlanta, Ga, August 24.-The journal
this afternoon will print story which it
says comes from source Of undoubted
authenticity, to tho effect that tho pur.
pose of Senator Tilmnn's recent mys.
terious visit to Thomas Z. Watson at the
latter's home In Thomson was to see if
Mr.. Watson could be induced to retro
from the Vice Presidential race ON the
promise Of place in the Bryan Cabinet.
The Journals informant, who Is q Dem
ocrat of high rank, but a warm friend and
possible supporter Of Watson, says there
is no doubt that u tentative offer of such
position was made, by whose authority 1t
is not known, and very promptly declined.
Mr.. Watson declared that inasmuch as
he had accepted tho Vice Presidential
nomination, In order to preserve his party
organization. he could not surrender 1t in
exchange for any other Office whatever.
1t is said that a similar offer is to be- made
to Mr.. Sewall In this connection It is
noted as significant that Mr. Watson has
been declaring with confidence of late
that he would be on tho Democratic ticket
inside Of two weeks.
