Republicans are Popping.

Connelsville will not be outdone in
Bryan clubs. She will organize one here
this week, and it will not be a small one
either, as 160 persons have signified
their willingness to join. In this num-
Der there are 80 Republicans. Not one
Democrat topper has been found in this
city, but the cause of free coinage is
gaining pew converts daily. The Mariet-
tas, Stiilwagons, III. p. Berryhill, L. w.
Rutter, John Duggan and William Bish-
op, alliold warhorse Democrats, are very
enthusiastic over the outlook and saw
they will never cease until they have 100
converts from the Republican camp.

THE Populist convention at st. Louis
will probably have two or three exciting
days work before decision is reached
on the point of indorsing the whole OF
part of the Democrotic national ticket
That is the great question at St. Louis,
and of interest throughout the country.
Senator Butler, of North Carolina, who
was made temporary chairman, is said
to be in favor of pursuing a middle
course, and indorsing Bryan, but not Sc
wall, claiming a southern Populist
should be taken for second place. 9th
ers are in favor of nominating the
straight Chicago ticket, and others fol
clear-cut PopuIist nominations. This
there are all sorts of propositions about
dividing the electoral ticket, and so on.
This is matter, however, which will
probably be determined by action. The
Chicago ticket, nominated by the Demo
Gratis, must stand as nominated. If the
Populists don't like it, they will have to
take their own course. FuSIons on
electoral tickets are not in nigh favor
People generally wantto know what they
are voting for, and variety of contin-
gencies how it will vote, does not appea
TO common sense.

Ii has been generally understood that
Hon. William McKinley's S record as gov
ernor of Ohio was noteworthy chiefly
for the manifestation of lack of execu-
tive ability. A correspondent of the
New York World has been looking up
facts and statistics of the Mckinley
regime at Columbus.
He finds, as a result of careful exam
ination, that, financially considered,
his administration was weak indeed
that the state was call but bankrupt
during mis- term of service; that the du-
ties of his office were largely delegated to
subordinates, while Governor Mckinley

statesman of Canton proved conspic-
uous failure as executive.
Do the American people care to

such record in executive Office as Will

wei, intentioned he may be?

The Pittsburg Post, thus demolishes
the sectional cry raised by some of the
rabid Republican sheets.
''Where does the sectionalism lie in
this matter of the Democratic nomina-
ton? Is it the east that is sectional, OF
the states of the west and south? Does
the nation exist only in the money cen
tiers. or is it found as well in the shops
of industry, the grain fields of the west
and cotton fields of the south? The
truth is that at the east the belief exists
that the gold standard is to its interes
and should be made perpetual, and il
the west they believe in the double stand
ard of gold and silver as bringing bette
prices for their products. The voting
Will show both ideas have strong sup
port in all sections"

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN is the can
didate of the laboring man. Daniel
Harris, pre,ident of the New York State
Branch of American Federation of La
bor says in letter to the public through
the New York World, that Bryan rep
resents the people-the poor people.
The fight now is of the rich against the
poor. He will be waited into power by
a Western cyclone. Everybody except
the representatives of Wall street, cor
porations and syndicates will vote fol
him. If Whitney and the other wealthy
men who claim to represent the party viii
bolt, it will be better for the party
They may go to the Republicans
That's where they belong"
