The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1896-04-23

4. AS the time approaches for con-
gressional nominations, would-be
] candidates are coming to the surface,
but that is as far as they will ever be
able to get this year, as our now ef-
fcient congressman's name is now
being more favorably mentioned as a
candidate worthy Of the support of
the people. The voters know Mr..
McCleary to be thoroughly accept
able representative. His course in
j congress has been clean, able and in
every way commendable. He has
#nationalized himself on the greatest
question before the Countrywide
stability of sound money. He is
acknowledged by men of all parties
#as one of the ablest champions in
4 congress Of this great question and
/. some better reason than has yet been
u advanced should be given to cause
Sthe republicans of the second dis
trict to forsake his standard. Our
i country is in the midst of financial
/ unrest which is of vital Importance to
the welfare of the whole nation, and
\ it stands without contradiction that
.amen with experience and ability are
the proper ones to represent us in
congress. Mr.. McCleary pocesses all
OF the qualifications and experience
requisite to this office and at this
time above all others should be re-
turned to congress. From the senti-
ssments expressed, and as far as we
can ascertain, the people of Mobiles
county prefer McCleary to any other
representative that can be named.

Future Life of he Boltors.

Baltimore, September 19-The trip to
Baltimore was an uneventful one. Mr.
Bryan ate q small luncheon on the train
and rested quietly in one Of the draw
ing rooms. Notwithstanding Mr.. Bryan
arrived here in a downpour of rain he
was greeted by big crowd at the sta
tion and when he reached the little stand
erected In the centre Of the Plaza front
of Music hall he looked into the faces Of
at least 20. 600 who stood in the rain tu-
multously cheering. For 40 minutes Mr..
Bryan was attentively listened to by
the great crowd which frequently
oheered him. Later he addressed 5000 in
Music hall In introducing Mr.. Bryan,
Senator German sal d.; "It is my pleas
ure to introduce the next President of
tho United States, VIM. Bryan" The
cheers were long and continued.
Mr.. Bryan said that the Chicago
platform alieneated some from their
party and although they could not be
restrained from leaving the Demoora-
tic party, yet the door could be shut SO
they would not get back again. He
continued: "We have no means by
which we can keep people from leaving
our house, but we can say that when
a son leaves the house of his father and
when he comes back after having been
fed with the hogs, we can decide wheth-
or we will kill the fatted calf for him or
make him saw wood for long while
before he gets into the dining room,
and I want to warn the Democrats who
leave the Democratic party now, if they
go they must 60 expecting to be put
to work feeding the hogs In the enemy's
party because this ia a campaign in which
we have at least arrayed upon one side

bition is to eat the bread that other
people earn. We have commenced war
fare which may end now, II it ends in
SUCCESS, but which will never end until
