PUBLIC OPINION.

Bryan Is full of what the common peo- pie call grit" and it Is a quality which challenges their admiration. If he lives he will continue to be a force in this country. no matter what is in store for him at the polls tomorrow.-Macon Tele- graph, Democrat.
 The drubbing the republicans received in 1892 teaches further, that no party can be so badly condemned but that it has chance of salvation. Let us take that to heart. There is work for us to do, that we of the democratic party alone can do. If we take our defeat as good medicine we shall live to do it.-Mobile Register, Dem ocrat.
 Elections in Great Britain are supposed to be conducted with a greater freedom from disturbance than in any other land. Yet riots, moro or less serious, are not infrequent, especially when any question of more than ordinary moment Is in volved. America is the one country in which all believe that the ballot Is the instrument of freeman'S will, and in which all Loyalty and heartily abide by the result.-St. Louis Republic, Democrat.
 There Is to be no premium on gold dol lars in the United States. All of our dollars are to be equal and as good as the best money on earth. The nightmare Is over and the sun of new day is now shining In our faces. Let us unite re- gardless of former political differences and disagreements in patriotic devotion to our country and in efforts to keep our place in the front rank of a progressive world.-Galveston News, alleged demo- crat.

This brief summary may be found defective as to an item or two. but the general result is sweeping, icyclonic victory for "sound money" for the orderly control of society by courts and executive magistates-for law and sense and sanity.

Birmingham state herald., 1896-11-08
PROSPERITY MUST COME.

The advocates of the free coinage of both gold and silver into standard money at the ratio of 16 to-1 contended from the beginning of the campaign that
 their remedy. if applied, would restore
 general prosperity in the United States.
 That is the belief today of all true and
 earnest supporters of Mir Bryan and the
 Chicago platform. The fact that the re- suit of the election is against them in
 no wise changes their convictions. It was not the offices and the emolu-
 ments of office that Mr. Bryan and his
 loyal supporters were fighting for. The
 loss of them, therefore, leaves no sting.
 It was not only contended by those who
 opposed the democratic party and it's can
 didates in the contest that MT. Bryan's election would not restore prosperity but it was contended also that his election
 would bring absolute ruin. In addition to that it was contended that the cleo tion of MT. Mckinley meant the return of confidence and with 1t general and permanent prosperity, universal prosperi- ty.
 MT. Mckinley has been elected and the people have a right to expect the prompt restoration of confidence and general prosperity. They not only have the right to expect it but they have a right to de-
 mand it. They do demand it, and unless
 it comes in 1898 congress will be elected opposed to Mckinley and in 1900 the re-
 publican party will be again driven from power.
 The fight for return of general pros perity is on in this country, and only its return can stop the contest. Time will prove whether the followers of Bryan or | the followers of Mckinley were correct | in their opinions. The Mckinley theory | is to be put on trial first, and if it proves l to be the correct theory and the people l once more find it possible to prosper here in the United States then the battle will be over. If time proves that MT. Bryan and not MT. Mckinley is right in 1900 the
 people who stood by Bryan in the contest
 this year will be successful at the polls
 We are to say the least of it, within four
 years of a change that will bring perma-
 nent prosperity. It is possible that we are within one year of 1t. Certain 1t Is that we are within one year of putting
 one theory, which 1t is promised will re- store prosperity on trial
 There is no reason for the struggling
 masses to grow Respondent. All hands have admitted the existence of the neces- sity for a change. One side has been
 commissioned to put its remedy to the test. If it fails the other side will be
 given an opportunity to test it's proposed
 remedy. The country is going to have
 a return of prosperity, if not without free
 coinage. then with it.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-11-08
THE CONFLICT WILL COME.

If 1t were not for the misfortune it is likely to infiict upon the people, which makes of it a very serious matter, one could look forward with pleasure to the inevitable conflict that is to come be- tween the conflicting elements that will be represented in the forthcoming repub- lican administration. The power that wrote the St. Louis platform of that par ty will be on hand to demand the destruc- ton of the greenbacks and treasury notes. the sale of the silver bullion in the treasury and the striking down of the le- gal tender quality of the already coined silver dollars to sums of not over $5. These are the straight out and out single gold standard fellows. They are the fellows who believe in the English sys- tenn, the gold standard and free trade. They are a power and will be heard from
 While all this pressure is being brought to bear the representatives of the west and middle west who supplied Mckinley with his delegates in the St. Louis con- ventfon and who knew him then as a bimetallist will be on hand. They come from a yet undeveloped section of the country. They come from states the cit- izens of which are heavily in debt. They are to account to a constituency who need more money. They will have to make report of their actions to men who. during the campaign were talked to about inter- national agreement, at great length. They

AN INSTANCE.
Machinists' Journal.


 Press censorship is not confined to fair speciment of the article in this land of the free. Early last May a judge of the United States court issued an injunc- tion restraining the editor of the Midland Mechanic, of Kansas City, from 'promul- gating and issuing" any news appertain- ing to the striking employees of the Ar mour Packing company. Of course, it was only temporary" and conveyed with 1t the right of the editor to appear within three days and show cause why the interdict should not be made perma- nent. Within this stated time the editor did appear through counsel and asked for a. hearing, which was denied him. From that time until now the editor has been unable to get any satisfaction in the matter. The judge has gone on holi- day. and the case is hung up until he re- turns. Meanwhile. the editor is restrain ed from giving any news of the strike; 1t is his business to do so, but the injunction steps in and says he shall not conduct business, especially If that business Is to disseminate the knowledge of what kind of treatment the pork packer gives his employees
 This is press censorship of the worst kind, as well as an illustration of what can be done by injunction. If judge can restrain a man from conducting legitimate business in one case, he can in another, and no one is safe. It is our duty to put stop to this form of judicial tyranny; we can do it if we vote right next month. Stand by the platform that declares against government by injunc- tiont

THEY INTEND TO HAVE TT.

To be good democrat is to be first of all good citizen. To be a good citizen one necessarily has to desire to see his neighbors, his friends, his acquaintances,
 in fact, all mankind prosperous. The democrats of the country lead by Mr.
 Bryan in the recent contest were fight
 ing for a return of general prosperity.
 They have remedy which they honest
 ly believe to be meritorious. They do not
 believe that this country can ever enjoy
 the rich blessings that would flow from
 a prosperity in which all honest, econom- ical and industrious people can share so long as the single gold standard is | maintained. To that opinion they will cling until by actual experience it Is dem- onstrated that they are in error.
 Thus the fact remains that the people
 who supported MT. Bryan are today as firmly fixed in their opinions on the issues involved in the campaign as they ever were, and they will continue to hold to
 those opinions until the change comes
 and prosperity spreads her benign wings
 over the country as a result of the main
 tenance of the gold standard.
 Being democrats and good citizens,
 they desire first of all things the return
 
 propose to, and will not throw any stumbling blocks in the way of the party
 that will go into power on the 4th of
 March next.
 There are no democrats who desire to
 see continued falling prices and business stagnation and hard times and untold
 suffering in order that their ideas on the
 financial question may prevail in the
 elections two and four years hence. They
 would not be good citizens if they did,
 and therefore could not be good demo- crats Every true supporter of MT. Bry- an, and Mr. Bryan himself would greatly prefer to see the American people truly prosperous than simply to win a political contest.
 The republican party will be on trial after the 4th of March next, and those defeated in the recent election will be the | first to throw up their hats and rejoice if it turns out that in reality they are wrong in what they think Is necessary to restore prosperity. If, however, after they have had a fair and full chance the country four years hence is found to be still in the throes of despair and stagna- ton and starvation, and men are still tramping the streets of our cities in pur- suit of work when there Is no work, ana every turn of the mill is still grinding | additional former home owners into tramps or renters, the money power Will | take notice anew that it will be unable | tn stem the tide again. The people are | in the fight for home rule and prosperity. | They intend to have 1t.

Is not to be fulfilIed-not this year. Chattanooga Times, Rep.

Let it not be forgotten amid the gen. eral exultation and rejoicing at the es- cape from Bryanism and Altgeldism that no small part of the credit for the result is due the sound money" democ- racy. At the sacrifice of long-cherished opinions, thousands of them voted di- rectly for the republican ticket, while oth- CT thousands voted indirectly for 1t by supporting Palmer and Buckner. But this was not all. Had 1t not been for the Indianapolis convention and plat form, which gave them a vantage ground to stand upon, the voices of Cleveland and Carlisle, of Morton and Lamont, of Palmer and Buckner, of Watterson and Bynum, of Eckles and Moran, of Vincent and McVeagh, and of a hundred others, would not have been heard, and their powerful influence would not have been felt.-Chicago Times-HeraId, Mckinley organ

So, Grover Cleveland, William McKin- ley, Jr, and Garret A.
