WORD TO PRACTICAL DEMO.
CRAFTS.

Owing to the persistent and vigorous
campaign made In the State by william
FOriiIan. the gul,ernatOrlal candidate
Of the sound money Democrats. II Is
reasonably certain that that ticket will
receive at least 1j.NW votes IN Illinois.
This vote will iW u ,listinc, loss to the
l'opWrTts.
II will consist Of that wOlhly element
which. while Il cannot stomach Bryan
and Altgcld. has not backbone enough
to follow the only sure way to defeat
them. namely. 10 vote for Mckinley
AMI Tanner.
Eornan tms followed Altgrld all over
this state. and hcislting and rciter,'tiug
| the grave charges which he fist made
| u campaign issue against the Governor.
lie IL an able talker. n man who speaks
/ to convinVe. and his campaign has moi
only saved the wol',lcrs from Hopping
over into the Altycld camp at the Inst
moment, hut i,ns confirmed tliOusa mis-
VI reputable Democrats all through, I'LL.
nOis In their purpose Of voting the Re.
| publican tlckct this year from top to
bottom.
M far ~ this paper II concerned. II
has no hesitation In tletlnring its heller
that the right thing for every true Dem.
Ocrut to do this year In to vote for the
only ticket that can defeat that NJ
Bryan and AltRcld. TO vote for Palmer.
Ruckncr ami FOrMan II To throw u
vote away. The citizen who takes the
trouble III going to the polls for that
purpose will have only his labor for his
pains.
lie would M ,lOlng just M much for
country. party and principles hy stay
Ing ut home. AZ u Democrat. he IL moi
hound IL vote for u single candidate
on tho sO.,allcl Democratic national
state ar county tickets. True. there
arr some good men. like Trhie and
Chase. on The latter. h,N they ARE In had
company. and Il Il to In regretted that
they are likely to meet with the usual
result.
All Or these tickets were chosen lr
regularly AMI not In conformity Will
the usage. presidents or practices Of
the Democratic party. The nOMina tlOi
Of Bryan was brought about by u con
vcntlOn that smashed tho tlMe.hOnOirt
practices AMI customs OF Democratic
national conventions Whenever tll'
same seemed likely to Interfere with
the purposes NJ the wlre.pmllcrs.
The ticker was named by u cOnven
tiOn Oile.tlilr,l ~ which refused to TAXI
part In the tclil,eIsl lions thereof. II u
therefore u niisnOnher to label II Demo
cratic. Il IL not Democratic and hOc'
not appeal In ANY way to party alleg
lance ar loyalty. The State AMI count!
tickets appear In a still worse light.
With regard ~ these two. the wOrl
Of the conventions WIS absolutely sc
aside AMI new tickets patched NJ ~
the dicti.tiOn OF Ross .Altgeld. The!
are not Democratic tickets. and NJ
Democrat II bound as such 10 suppOr
them.
The sO-calle,l sound money State IN,
national ticket was named by cOnven
lions which. however great the prove
cation for holding them. were lrirgu
larry called. Hence there II M reason
why n sound rld consistent DemOciT
should feel hound To vote for II. ID
course. II there In those whose politics,
cOilst.lences are 40 tender ~ not to al
low them to vote for u Republican
under any circumstance. they will hin,
u convenient refuge IN the sound mon
ry Democratic ticket. nnd The Eagl'
wishes them much satisfaction. Int u
! Ian practical Democrats who desire u
: have u word In shaping the policy an'
destiny of the nation ami the State. TIN
Eagle gives this advice: Vote the Re
publican state. national and count!
ticket next Tuesday.
