THEY HAVEN'T DONE 1T,

A big boast recently made by some
of our Democratic friends was that
they had thrown from them that
Eastern and Northern element that
had dominated the party in the in
terest of the money power for so
many years. Well, have They've Did
they throw off the eastern Dem ocracy
of Name : Row about NV York &?
That State sent solid gold delega-
ton to Chicago The delegation
came very near boiling the conven-
tion because it declared for silver.
But they are still in the ring. Only
last week the Democrats held another
convention in New York They de-
clared for Bryan and silver and then
nominated a goldbug for Governor.
This is a fact No, that eastern
Democracy is still with the gang and
will still control that gang as Ions
as the gang is gang.

The various labor organizations of
Chicago have circulated a petition
asking for joint debate between Mr..
Bryan and Mckinley Of the free coin
age issue. They state that an early
settlement of this question is of great
Importance to all wage-earners. Com
menting upon this the st. Louis Re-
public remarks that there is McKin-
ley's opportunity" 1t says that "he is
asked to give the class which he saws
Is made up of those whom his paternal
policy is calculate to attract most the
benefit of his views" And then the
Republic declares that if Mckinley de-
clines the invitation the public NAV
justly infer that he rs afraid he can
not prove before any intelligent aud
fence the good effects which the coun-
try is to gain from the continuation of
policy which has already resulted in
SO many evils. Secondly, that he
breads lest his own financial record
may be cast up against him in public
debate"

LET DEMOCRATS CHEW THIS
AWHILE

We think we can make a state
ment here and then ask question
that will shut the gas apertures of
some Of those ever snaIling Demo
Gratis The statement is this:
We have had for the past two
years four Populist Congressman
from this State whose record for
financial reform cannot be surpas-
sed. 1t was well known that they
would be nominated, and that they
would keep up the fight they had be-
gun. We say this was KNOWN. Past
records will not permit US to say
that it could be KNOWN of Demo
Gratis:
Well, when nominating time came
on, the Democrats who are almost
beating the record in shouting for
silver NOW, went to work and nomi-
mated men in every district repre-
sented by these Populist silver Con-
gressmen. They knew they could
not find men more trustworthy on
the silver issue than the Populists,
but that made no difference. They
put up Democrats VINO did not know
and did not care what they were six
months ago against these silver men
The Populists didn't care and said
nothing about it.
Then came time when the Popu-
lists ventured to nominate some Of
these men against Democrats, and
Great Guns. what screeching,
snarling and disgusting drivel these
Denis INDUCED in !! They howl
that the Populists are trying to di-
vide the silver vote and elect gold
bug. 1t never seemed to have oc-
Cured to the swapping yaps that
THEY were doing something to divide
the silver vote when they nominated
Democrats in districts represented by
Popullsts.
! Now, we want to know how and
why a Democrat can think it is such
a holy and righteous thing to nomi-
nate Dem against Pop, and then
denounce as an Infamous fraud, the
nomination of Pop against Dem7
Chew on this awhile, demmys, and
see if it will "chaw." If you think
the Pops are trying to divide the sill
yer vote when they nominated their
own men, why don't you rise to the
height of glorious and honest pa
triotism and throw your strength to
the Pops and thus prevent their
wicked scheme for dividing the sill
yer vote.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Da-
vid l.. Hill intends soon to announce
that he will support Bryan and Sewall.
This is authoritative. 1t is vOuched
for by no less person than the Sena-
tor himself. He has written to friends
here that after long consideration of
what his course as Democrat ought
to be he has concluded that, bad as the
Chicago platform is, and unacceptable
as the TICKET is in many respects, it is
his duty to accept the decision of the
national convention and support its
candidates. In doing this the Senator
is emphatic in his reiteration of the
speech he made in the Chicago con-
ventlon in opposition to the doctrine,
it was determined to put forth as the
party faith. Senator Hill distinctly
states that he does not withdraw nor
depart from the language or the senti-
ments of the speech of protest he made
at that time.

tradition saJS that tLey were the last of
a race Ct glalts who infested England
until they Were destroyed by some of
the Irojans who went to the British

and Magog, it is SAID, were taken cap

W hen they died, wooden images of the
two giants were put IN their places. In

But there are other traditions of the

when Alexander the Great overran Asia,
he chased into the mountains of the
north an impure, wicked and man eat
ing people who Were % nations in num-

of these nations was Goth and another

names of the mythical giants, 1t is sup

meant by Cog and the Mongols were
the children Of Magog. We shall find
mention made of Cog and Magog in
many books, including the Bible, but
there is the great wall and the ram
