Journal we'll says, in speaking of the question of his candidacy, that ito the democratic party it brings squarely home the issue whether it is to continue to be the party of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton and Cleveland, or whether it is to set up strange gods and lend the priceless prestige of its name and his tory to an alien faith" Jackson's financial doctrine is rejected by the Harrises and Bates of Jackson's party in his state, and the Vests and Blands of Benton's commonwealth disown the principles of Benton's creed. The democracy of the earlier age was blind and Perverse on some questions, but it was always clear-visioned on the mon- etary issue in whatever shape it pre- sented itself. In the "30's," "40's" and "5G's," when the democratic party was run by statesmen, he would have been bold man who would rise up in a dem- ocratic council and propose financial policy which would repudiate half of tine existing debts and cut down the workingman's dollar to 50 cents.
 .,There is not the faintest proba ability, of course, that Carlisle can get the can- didacy. Carlislc's doctrine is the doc trine of the majority of the democratic party, and it will be indorsed. in one shape or other, by the national conven- tion, but the convention will look else where for a nominee. A sound-money man will be selected, but Morrison, oel Nh;4nou 1uiIl hn much stronger in the convention than Car Iisie can be. While the secretary is able, honest and true to the traditions of his party in its best days, he is not personally popular, and he could com mand little support in the convention outside of his own state, except in New York or New England. Yet Carlisle is more prominently identified with the honest money cause than any other democrat except Cleveland, and his nomination would place the party back on its old base on the finance issue and put it in shape to take advantage of 1he conditions when fortune, some time in the future, again turns in its favor. St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 ryThere is this year disinclination at democratic and third-party meet inrs and conventions to discuss the tariff. Four years ago they were all eager to talk about the tariff and to ex. plain wherein the protectionists were at fault. They say nothing about this DOW. They aim to convey the impress sion that the tariff is not an issue. and yet they know that it is the most vital of ,he practical questions before the lror;c. They dare not say anything against it. and it is against their prin- ciples to say anything for it.-Chicago Outer Ocean.

Says Mac Il All Right.

Major J. W. Silver, Of Columbus,
Ohio, is in the city buying Dickinson
county horses for shipment to Buf-
falo. He sees a good deal Of the
world, heard Bryan's Madison Square
garden speech and visited Mckinley,
who is an old acquaintance, at Can
ton last week. "Ohio is in some
doubt" said he to the REFLECTOR,
"that is it is doubtful whether Nc
Kinley's majority will be 10000 or
100000. The claims Of the Bryanites
that they will carry the state are RI
diculous and Ohio people know better.
| have been around the country a
good deal and consider that the cleo
ton Of Republican president is GER
tain. The sentiment is turning
against free silver heresies and
Mckinley will be elected by a splen-
did majority"

TALKED TO BRYANITEs.
Detroit's Colorsd "0ratrsss" Wakes
On the Old Time Populists.

The courtroom was filled last night
to hear the address OF Miss Minnie
jackson, the colored young woman Of
Detroit, who has been lauded as a
phenomenal orator. Many were at
tracted by curiosity and the crowd
was large one. Miss jackson is the
daughter of Woodworking colored
people Of Detroit and has received her
education in the Detroit school. She
has fluent tongue and strong voice.
Her address was of the style used in
the 1890 campaign when Mrs. Lease
used to give the plutocrats, bond
holders and corporations sixteen kinds
of jerked Lightning every minute for
two hours at a stretch. Miss Jack
sons speech had evidently been COM
mitted to memory and was a rip
tearer from the start. She spoke so
rapidly that except toward the end Of
her address it was difficult to under
stand her. 1t did not touch on the
issues of the present campaign but
was Populistic enough for the most
radical Of the old timers.

In Pretty Hard Lines,

The Monitor too comes out this
week with the "Grip Of Gold" fake
which it says is from the London
Financial News. This forgery has
been thoroughly exploded all over the
country. The silver movement is in
pretty hard lines when fakes and
forgeries are necessary to bolster it
up. The London Financial News Of
Aug. lS says this about the article:
ave have received numerous let
tiers from American correspondents
containing what purport to be editor
ials from the Financial News, and
which have been reprinted in various
western papers as campaign 'litera-
ture,' One Omaha paper prints an
article stating mat II Is from lhe
London Financial News Of March 10.
No such article was ever printed by
us, and its whole tenor is directly
opposed to the view we have taken Of
The effect of free silver in the United
States. So far from advocating free
silver coinage, we have persistently
pointed out that it spells reputation
and the withdrawal of all English
capital"

Wandered From Home.

A stranger got off the train at Man
chester Tuesday night, says the News,
and put up at the Hopkins house. He
said he was tired travelling aud want
ed to rest. He seemed uneasy and
restless and at times talked a little
queer. He remained there until
Thursday evening, when he went
home with farmer whose acquaint-
ance he had formed at the picnic
Saturday morning friends arrived on
the hunt for him. They said the man
was W. NJ. Knapp, Of lola, that his
mind was unbalanced by business
reverses and that he had been wander
ing around for over three weeks.
They drove to the farm and persuad-
ed the gentleman to accompany them

Hummer.

Clay Center Times: S. S. Smith,
nominee for state senator from this

a Few Hours.

II Was Forged Paper.

The Times says the first test case
on one Of the McNaspy notes was
tried by a jury in Bucks court at
Herington Monday last. It was a
note purporting to be given by Fred
Wendt, German farmer living a few
miles west Of Herington. His de-
tense was that the note Is q forgery
for as he testified he never gave to
Mr.. McNaspy note Of the kind,
although he had other dealings with
him and had given other notes In
different amounts, some Of which had
been paid. The jury's verdict was
that Wendt did not sign the note.
The case may be appealed.

the Fifth district W. c. I. U. which
convened at Manhattan, Wednesday,
Aug. 26, held its last session Friday

carriages were in waiting to convey
them to this commodious church, in
one wing Of which lunch was bounti-

OF great interest with much enthus-
iasm and earnestness in the regular

Tunnel, Riley and Hook and Prof.
DIN all Of Manhattan; Mrs. Major

PRACTICAL FREE SILVER.
How Mean, Mean Nan Worked q
Little Game.

One Of Mr.. Ickelheimer's hirelings
got in his work on an Epworth league
social out south last week. After the
rush Of business had subsidized and the
treasurer was counting the proceeds,
it was found that some one had pass
ed Central American dollar on the
unsuspecting leaguers. Thepreacher
arose and called on the man who had
worked the free silver object lesson
on the cashier to come forward and
redeem his Sic dollar; but the man
did not seem to care for the money
and probably was not doing the U. S.
treasury act Of putting up gold, or as
good as gold, for any old free silver
dollar that had gone in circulation
Anyhow he did not come forward.
The loss Of 40 cents entailed by the
acceptance Of the free silver dollar
takes away the profits Of the social.
1t may be that the man wanted to
convert the league to the Republican
idea Of the present standard and took
this way Of showing them what a
BRYAN dollar really was.
The leaguers think it was real mean
to try to bring politics into church
social and as they don't care much
about politics it does look like force
ing the thing. An Epworth league
social is about the last place where an
emissary Of Mr.. Ickelheimer would be
expected to break in and the action Of
last week proves conclusively the
money power is no respecter Of even
church socials.

present condition of the whole coun.
try, is largely due to the wild cry of
''free trade and ..free silver" We
had prosperity under Harrison and
we shall have it under Mckinley.
| have travelled through nearly all
the silver countries on the globe and
seen the baneful effects Of debased
currency upon the working popula-
ton. In those lands the wage Garner,
whether accountant, mechanic, or
day laborer, contracts for so much
per day or week, during which time
silver and paper currency has deprec-
lated while the necessaries Of life
remain at the price they were before
the decline, but the wage Garner is
compelled to take the deprecated
dollar. You propose to change this
by legislation. You cannot do it; the
history Of the world is against you.
It has been tried, but in vain. There
is however, legitimate remedy for
existing evils. Create business con-
idence by election Of sound.money
men like Mckinley and Hobart. This
commercial confidence will revive
suspended industries and inspire new
ones; the employed will need new
clothing better food and letter
homes and these 10 turn will stimu-
late all branches Of trade. A false
administration has brought us where
we are; q true administration will re-
store us to former prosperity.
My hope is in supreme standard
Of values, protected by such wise leg
islation as will give certainty to our
credit and stability to our industries.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN p. NEWMAN.
