BRYAN OR HANNA?
HANNA's ARGUMENT


JIpon Hanna's side the gold standard
is used as a main prop and. proposed
system of indulgence in law to corporate
invasion of public rights ana evasion OF
duties to the public.
There are to be bounties and taxes
given to or to be collected by some of
the richest and most powerful combines
of capital, such as Carnegie, Pullmon.
the syndicate paying McKinley's debts
and such men as Hanna himself. The
reason for this is that these gentlemen
are unusually patriotic; they do not
need these forced taxes and Will dis
tribute the taxes given them to others.
Other arguments are that Hanna's op-
ponents are fools, anarchists, poor scum
cranks and asses.
In California we have as another ar
sument the slave auction block furnish
ed the Southern Pacific slave dealer by
Kentucky. At this block both mems
bodies, as in the peon and Chinese labor
contracts, are sold, and mems souls are
sold as the politicians caved down the
bank here. in Kentucky and in Wash
ington. At that block from Kentucky
stands the great corporation slave deal
ers cracking the lash of partisan con-
troll in one hand. which has been bought
by the gold in the other hand. Neither
body nor soul are safe. Their ticket is
most appropriately headed in California
on the electoral ticket by Huntington s
Southern Pacific vice-president and
tailed off with T.. ]. Baldwin. a paragon
of virtue in another direction.

Hanna and His Money Bags

The Republican politicians seem TO be
singularly blind to the effect upon theii
canvass of Mark Hanna's prominence and
the affiliations which ne naturally seeks
here in New York. This mushroom mil
lionaire boss is organizing the Mckinley
campaign he would organize an iron
trust. Have the Republican leaders for.
gotten the millionaire banquet-the BEL
shazzar feast"~that defeated Blaine I'm 1SSt
at the last moment? They retired Payne
from their executive committee this year
because he was obnoxious to the labor un.
ions. DO thev lack the discretion or the
power to keep Hanna. with his money bags
his fat-frers and his professional corrup
tionists. out of sight as an offense to the
moral sentiment and the political sense OF
the community York World
The herald., 1896-08-19

Julian Hawthorne, one of the spec
ial correspondents of the New York
Journal who accompanied Mr.. Bryan on
his journey, said of the demonstrations
which attended the candidates progress
across half a continent: Il call this
a touching as well as an impressive spec
tacle. Nowhere about it is the trail of
the professional politician. With every
vote given for Bryan in this election
will go the heart of the giver. AS 1 said
before, the force behind the man is so
vast as to be incalculable. You can es-
innate ii no more than you can the
strength of the buffet dealt by western
tornado. 1t is elemental. No man, be
he ever so great, can be more than the
instrument of such power"

The Total Eclipse of ncXinIev

There has been no more striking and pa

than the complete submergence of the nom

a noted man. There was genuine boom
for him in his party. He got delegates all
over the country on the strength OF his in
dividual popularity. And then he gradually
faded from view. eclipsed in the black
shadow of his manager. Hanna. 1t Is
nothing hut Hanna now in the Republican
party. Poor Mckinley is so utterly for
gotten that it is doubtful whether the coun-
try realizes that he is still candidate
