WHICH SHALL 1T BEP
Bryan and an Equitable Currency
System or Mckinley and the
Rulnous Gold System.

In less than two weeks. says the
New York Journal, the American peo-
pie will be called upon to elect Presl-
dent under whom the affairs of the
nation will he administered for four
years from the 4th of next March.
The importance of their choice in its
effects on the future of the country,
and especially of the working portion
of the people, of farmers, mechanics,
clerks and laborers, cannot be Overes-
timated. The verdict of the ballot
box will prescribe the continuance OF
the policy under which the govern
ment has been conducted for the past
quarter of century, or mark the be-
ginning of new era under new meth
ods and new :neu.
For years there has been a distinc-
ton without a difference between
the two leading political parties in q
Presidential election. The ingenuity
of both has been taxed 10 construct 8

The only real issue made between thu
two parties has been when one has ac
cused the other of all sorts of corrup
tions and misdeeds, aud of RESPONSE
bility for all that has gone wrong
in public affairs.
1t is different this year. The line
are distinctly drawn. The Democrat
platform is sutspoken in its demand
and iu its pledges. The candidates ar

Mr.. Keene's View of Anarchy-A
Glowing Tribute to the Senior
Senator of Maryland.
To the Editors ofthe Citizen:

To the EClit0rs of the Citizen:
Because the Chicago platform in one
Of its planks expressed the hope that
future Supreme Court might reverse the
recent Income Tax decision of the
present Court, the Metropolitan press,
Mckinley and his orators with un-
wearied diligence proclaim and charge
that the Chicago Convention compassed
anarchy and Bryan and his followers
are anarchists.
If the delegates who took part i'll the
Chicago proceedings by concerted ac-
ton combined and conspired to create
anarchy, each individual delegate who
compassed and committed SO horrid
acrme would be legally guilty OF high
treason, and each member would be
sqlject to tie death penalty upon con-
victi0n.
My recollection is that Pierre Proud
hon, ,theeXpounder of fanarachy, intends
by the term anarchist to describe one
Whoseeks directly or indirectly to over
turn by violence all constituted forms
and Institutions of government, law,
order and right of property with no
purpose Of establishing another system
Of government.
If this definition is correct, it is clear
That all those anarchists who took part
In the proceedings of the Chicago Con-
Vention to bring about a condition Oh
anarchy in this country are indlctaDle.
IL seems equally clear that Mr.. Bryan,
elected, in pursuance of such con-
splracy could be summoned to the bal
the United States Senate, and upon
articles of impeachment duly exhibited
ee removed and forever disqualified
from holding Office, and thereafter also
indicted for high treason.
The criminal liability of all those
J VINO heretofore or hereafter knowingly
Sld or abet this conspiracy to intro
uuceanarchy by promoting Mr.. Bryan's
election, and particularly by casting
!helr ballots for that heinous purpose
! beyond peradventure.
There being no limit to the range O
anhpeacchable acts, those public Officers
aso who had taken the constitutions
oaVn OF office, who by act or deed know
aIgly had given aid and assistance t.
le chicago conspirators could also D'
brought to Bar upon articles of i'm
peachment; and their anarchistic IN
elI, as accessories before or after tn
%ct OF anarchy, would constitute then
mlIclpals and guilty of high treason
@n9 They undoubtedly could be removed
5aI,ii 5au forever thereafter disqualified from
holdlng office.
A. ~ therefore behooves each of us. il
rpeogg re light Of these grave and constantl.
stpeated charges of anarchy, to procee'
ohiltre There is another aspect of the anal

Sepest solicitude in the heart of ever

esting, Mr.. Editor, to note the rugged
manliness of the great commander. In
the heat of all the excitement, Arthur
Pue German, calm and composed, sits
at the helm. He is just as composed
as when his courageous fight saved
Grover Cleveland, and when honest
election returns were dispared of, made
him president.
The senior senator is as composed now
lust as watchful and as tireless as when
his matchless ability, craftsmanship
and courage rescued the imperiled ma
ton, threatened with subversion of the
liberties of the people by the Force Bill.
Throughout the canvass Senator Cor
man exhibits neither passion nor pre-
iudice. He has shown by every act and
word that this is not time for personal
abuse and misrepresentation; not a
time for emotional oratory or dramatic
display, but time for calm and ear
nest deliberation and for courageous
and patriotic action. The international
syndicate of honest money robbers are
! full of fearful forebOdings that their ne
! farious schemes may miscarry. 1t is
natural that they should be hysterical.
! The frightful struggle of the ungodly
| laWless money gang to prevent the
will of the people of this State and ma
ton from being registered at the ballot
box by total disregard of public JUS
lice, is enough, if we had not such an
intrepid leader to strike terror into the
! hearts, the hearths and homes of an
/ honest law-abiding democracy.
Like jackals, driven from their un-
hallowed banquet, they have set up a
dismal howl all over the country it is
natural that they should be dis
mayed, excited and hysterical, but
i'm such a trying ordeal we can all CON
gratulate ourselves upon the wisdom
! the courage and the calmness of the
great captain of Maryland Democracy

Chairman Jones Confident.

Chairman Jones has expressed his.be-
lief in victory for the Democratic can
didate and some days ago sent the fol-
lowing dispatch from Chicago:
"The outlook at the end of the last
week but one of the campaign is more
favorable than it has yet been. Re
ports from all sections bring the most
encouraging news. Our friends are
filled with codfidence and enthusiasm
They are full of pluck and fight ss@a

of the Democratic candidate. The news
from Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota
is very favorable, and the same is true
of Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and West
Virginia. In every section of the coun-
try the condition has improved within
the past week, and we no longer have
any doubt about the election of Mr..
Bayan by an overwhelming majority" "

Railroad Coercion,
Messrs. Editors:

MeSsrs Editors:
Some time ago read in your paper
an article denying that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad employees would
be bulldozed to vote against their con-
victions on election day. You claimed
Mr.. Cowen had the right to use his
influence with the men as any one else
had right to do. Now, will you tell
me if Mr.. Cowen as Receiver of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has the
right to have orders issued to send men
living all along the line to different
points to hear him speak, especially
when these men are sent on passes and
given a half days pay. Is this not
taking money out of the treasury tc
pay men when they are off at politi
cal meeting? At Martinsburg and al
Grafton this was done.

ALREADY the mask is being thrown
off by the gold bug press of the east,
and instead of bimetallism, mono
metallism is advocated, and that will
be what these eastern money sharks
will try and force the Mckinley ad-
mlnistration to, with good prospects
of success. The war has already
commenced. as the following from
the New York Post shows:
If this international agreement
talk be kept up, and the public i:
kept in expectation of seeing Eng
land being brought to her knees,o we
shall have no sound financial legisla-
tion this winter. We shall have only
more compromises and makeshifts.
The only way out of this muddle, and
the only way to prevent reappear-
ance of Organism four years hence.
is to stop such talk, to say we are a
monometalic nation with gold
standard, and do not care who knows
it, and that we only use silver fol

AFTER all there was pretty close
shave for the presidency. Mr.. Bryan
carried 81 states and so did Mr.. Nc
Kinley. Delaware and Kentuckey
are divided, and North Dakota is
said to be a tie. 1t is shown that had
there been change of 81, 900 votes in
the combined votes of Indiana, Ken
lucky. California, South Dakota,
Oregon and West Virginia Mr.. Bryan
would have received 81 more votes,
making his total 222, leaving out the
four votes of North Dakota, which if
cast for him would give him two
more than necessary. If we suppose
further that Mr., Bryan had never
crossed the Ohio line and remained
in the states of Indiana, Illinois, the
Dakotas, Kentucky and one or two
others central states, he would now
be the president t-elect instead of Mr..
McKinley.-Columbus Record.

JUDGE BAKER of the United States
Court, in session at Indianapolis,
granted a restraining order in the
case of S. G. Bramkamp of Cincin-
natl against the American Wire Nail
Trust. Judge Baker said that the
Trust was a monster that seeks to
prey upon the whole American peo-
pie, and which it is the duty of the
courts and the lawmakers to come
down upon with an unsparing hand.
This is what the Democrats said dur
ing the campaign, but they were
called anarchists, the rag tag and the
unshaven. Now what is to be done
with this Judge?

THE Chicago Record, referring to
the presidents term of Office says
"Six years is not too long term for
the president of the United States to
serve, especially if it be understood
that he retire at the end of that time
and not seek a re- e-election to the Of
fice." This is true, and some day the
constitution is going to be so amend
ed. There is nothing so unsettles
business interests as these too frequ-
ent and long drawn out presidential

The Boston Post, q gold standard
paper, does not believe that Bryan
is an anarchist, but pays him the
following high compliment: 'Mr.
Bryan's attitude is rebuke alike to
those who have charged him with
anarchy and revolutionary purposes,
and those who have rashly threaten
ed violence to rectify supposed
wrongs against him in the election.
Were Mr.. Bryan such man as some
of his injudicious opponents have
portrayed him he could have brought
the republic into great danger. But
he has set an example of good citi-
zenship. While it has strenuously
opposed him on the free silver issue,
the Post takes off its hat in honor
able respect to William J. Bryan.n
