A Significant Shcwin 2.

to a singular fact which has re Gently de-
veloped in connection with the returns
OF the ChicGgo Records postal ballot
Although the aggregate number of vutes
shows a decided lead for Mckinley, lue
to the action of Democratic LADDERS in
urging the supporters OF Mr.. Bryan to
ignore the system, it is neverthe ess
found on careful examination that The
percentage of gain is decidedly in favor
OF the Democratic nominee.
1t was ascertained that out Of a total
of 1914 votes for Bryan, fully 273 per
cent we're former Republicans, whereas
in total OF 1888 votes for Mckinley
only 1872 per cent were formerly Demo
Gratis.
In view OF the manner in which a
great majority of Democratsin the doubt.

this precentsge of Democratic gain is q
matter Of far greater significance than
the aggregate results.
From present indications majority OF
the doubtful states will be found in the
Democratic column when the vote ID

full place as money, silver will be sought
after equally with gold it will have the
same value as gold, and then our credi-

silver. Cons, quently, the gold contracts

So, by opening our mints to the free

them in gold, dollar for dollar; we will
pay them as called for in the contract, to

that prices will rise in America, while

silver using counties will rise still more,

opinions as to the question of moral
guilt involved in the demonstration of
silver in 1892 1t were possible that il
he had been asked, Colonel Ingersoll
would have said two years ago that it
was wrong to lie or steal. Does anyone
claim that he has a right to change his
opinion about such question Of morals
to-day? Would anyone defend his hon
esty il he should claim that it was not
wrong to lie and steal, and that all of
those who now agree that he was right
when he said two years ago it was wrong
TO lie and steal ara idiots, lunatics and
dishonest? 1t is impossible for a man
to change his opinions honestly on such
moral question. If Colonel Ingersoll
was honest when he delivered his lect-
ure about farming in Illinois, is be hon
est to-day? II he is honest to-day, was
he honest then? His testimony must
stand impeached before the high court
of the American people. lion the other
hand one should believe he was honest
then ana is honest now, what shall re
said of his intelligence? Was he wrong
then or is he wrong now? 1t is the duty
of everyone not only to decide the ques-
ton in his mind as to whether Colonel
Ing Ais)ll is honest in endeavoring to
teach the people truth and morality,
but to say which argument more strong
ly appeals to his reason and better judge
ment. Whether it was the better argu-
ment which leaped spontaneously from
his brain and heart while delivering his
lecture to the farmers of Illinois, or the
argument made by him as mercenary
and hireling. Moses may have made
mistakes, but the rule of the Colonel

COL ROB'T G. INGFRSOLL.

Colonel Robert G Inger5oll has taken
the stump in this campaign for the Re-
pub lean party and the gold standard.
He made a speech in Chicago about the
h. of this month in which he ridiculed
those who favored the use of silver as
money on terms Of equality with gold.
He pretended to be fair and honest with
his h, arers and assured them at the out
set that he would appeal to their reason,
their better Judgment and not to their
PR jndices. lie then spoke OF the idiocy
aud dishonesty Of those who favor the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to
by this Government. He assured them
that while Mr. Bryan was honest he pos
sess d very low order Of int lligence.
If it We're possible for Colonel Ingersoll
TO add anything to the reputation of Mr.
Brya an, he did so more by the certificate
of hone sty which he gave him than it
were possible in any other way. The
people are better able to judge OF the in
telligence of candidate than of his hon
esty. They will also be able to judge OF
the intelligence of Colonel Ingersoll,
with possibly grave doubts as to his hon
esty, by referring to his former utterances
on the silver question. In book COM
posed OF lectures delivered by Colonel
Ingersol entitled, "About farming in
Illinois," page 2O6, when Colonel Inger-
soil WAS not paid attorney to speak for
political party, he made use of the fol-
lowing language: "For my part, do
not ask any interference on the part of
the Government except to undo the
wrong ii has done. | do not ask that
money be made out OF nothing. l do
not ask for the prosperity born OF paper.
But do ask for the remonet'z ltion OF
silver. Silver was demonetizsd by fraud.
1t was an imposition upon every solvent
man a fraud upon every honest debtor
in the United States Ii assassinated
labor. IL was done in the interest Of
ava ice and greed and should be undone
by honest men," Colonel Ingersol has
made this moral question. lie has
taken both sides oft. There cannot be
two sides to question OF morals. He
may say that he has changed his mind.
Yet he has never shown the candor to
tell the people that he ever expressed
such opinions in the past. II a man
changes his mind upon QUE stion, is IL
not incumbent upon him to give to the
pc ople the reasons AID Arguments which
Influenced him to do so before he can
ask them to accept with confidence the
different opinions which he advocates
Will Colonel Ingenoll inform the people
OF this country what thoughts, what reas-
ons, what Arguments, or what Influences
Undue, d him TO abandon his so-called
convictions Of only few Yeas ago ?
