Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1896-07-14
JOHN j. INGALLS,.
He Says Mckinley Cannot Be
Elected And States His
Reasons Why.

In order to in a measure curb
the curiosity of the Willmar PEG
pie Republicans especially who
have put up good money for the
privilege of hearing the above
orator at Willmar at some time
in the dim future we publish the
following:
Two months ago wrote from
Washington that the West would
bolt Mckinley and gold at the St.
Louis convention. AS this is
written the West, the silver West,
is marching out. The revolt is
practically accomplished. The
white sages of silver are leaving
the reservation on the warpath.
Theirgreat medicine man. Teller,
has set up the war pole, and the
young bucks vie with one another
as to who shall be the first tC
strike the ak into it. as proof OF
his enlistment, The mutiny is
on. Rebellion is afoo+ and sill,
yer West, with its own candidate
aud it's own platform. will wage
war on gold and the East.
This means the defeat of Nc
Knley, possibly the death of Re.
publicanism.
| Not the least significant Of the
signs of the hour is the stead y
confidence with which the silver
forces march away. They leave
their fellows of gold as Dundee
left the whigamores of Edin,
burgh: their feathers tossing.
their banners wide flung and
free They nailed their gauntlet
to the gates of gold and the East
stands defed to the uttermost OF
war. They have remembered
what the East forgot. They, too,
| have a country and a cause.
There is a West as well as the
East. Silver has it's clans as we'll
as gold its people. The allied
| natives forgot; the West did not.
And so the silver fighters go
| back to their tribes Hannaism
| Mckinleyism, an over-reaching
East playing the hogs part in its
golden selfshness have split the
party. The last chance of sue.
cess for the Republicans has dis
appeared.
There be hills beyond Pentland.
And friths beyond Forth.
If there the lords in the Lowlands.
There the chiefs in the North.
The East can laugh at these
people. The East should laugh
at people less and study them
more. The Eastern policy Of the
tip-titled nose has already cost it
the South. The region glowers
at the East across its borders,
and the fire of it's hatred never
die. To-day the West arrays it.
self against the East and begins
running out its lines of battle.
| The West has become ally to the
South, and the ally will be found
a harder. more indomita BILE ene=
my than the original foe.
! 1t is pleasant and easy for the
East to come from its baths and
its gardens, its games and it's
houses Of marble and gilt to idle
about the forum and malign the
West and call its people Goths
and vanda!s- But it may hardly
prove profitable The East might
better recall what the Goths anG
Vandals did to Rome.
| These silver people are The
Swiss of America, They ar,
poor in all safe courage The,
have heard their war horn:
sounding and the battle is on
They will fight with the cool valo1
of buccaneers. When the Eas
goes against them pride blow
purbind in it's conceit of riches
yet really weak with the posses
sion of that which it relies mos
upon-its money-it will be tn
old story Of Charles Burgund
over again. The Swiss will wiz
and whereas just terms nigh
once have beer made with them
in their hour of might and wis
dom the West will grant as ittl
as it got What was done to til
West, the West in it's turn wi
