CAMPAIGN SONGS.

We Popocratic Cranks, Good Night.
(Air-"My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night.')
The sun will rise on that Sd November morn;
Columbia will rise with the sun.
To grasp the crown from her wounded forehead
torn,
When the land by misrule was undone.
The flag shall float in its glory as of yore,
AS proudly, as spotless and bright;
No more hard times will come knocking at the
door
Then ye Popocratic cranks, good night.
Chorus-Who will mourn for Bryan?
Oh, who will weep that day,
When we send him back to his old Nebraska
home,
To his old Nebraska home, far away?
The wheels will turn in the factory and the mill
And commerce sail out from the shore;
The hand of toll can obey the toiler's will
And the wolf be turned from the door.
The days gone by, like a shadow on the heart,
Brought sorrow instead of delight;
The time draws near when the shadows shall
depart
Then we Popocratic cranks. good night.
Chorus-who will mourn for Bryan? etc.
The land was stunned by the silver miners
boom,
But Bryan has cut it In half;
November Sd they will hear the crack O. DOOM.
And be blown to the wind like ehaff,
For truth may bow for awhile before the storm,
And error prevail Ger the right,
But horse sense wins when it gets in racing
form
Then ye Popocratic cranks, good night.
Chorus-who will mourn for Bryan? etc.

It was fitting that '"Coin'' Harvey. who
is the statistician of the silver-mine trust,
should declare that the ex-soldiers who are
travelling about the country urging citizens
to vote for Mckinley are the .olG wrecks
Of the rebellion who have lost their honor
and patriotism and are the tools of polit-
ical Shylocks." There are few veterans
who are not against Coin and the silver
mine ring first, because they are all
against sectionalism in politics and Alt
geldism, and, second, because they are not
willing to have their slender pensions re-
duced to add to the millions of the men
who count their wealth by tens of mil
lions.

BRYAN'S VENOM.

Some reptiles are more poisonous at GER
tain seasons than at others. The dog star
is popularity supposed to exercise an oc-
cult influence on dogs that predisposes
them to rabies during the sultry, close part
of the summer. Mr.. Bryan seems to be
subject to some such influence and to in
crease in venom as the campaign progress
es. He was bad enough from the begin
ming, but he has grown steadily worse.
From abusing "plutocrats'' and capitalists
in general he has taken to abusing leading
advocates of sound money, Republicans
and Democrats. by name. He has referred
to capitalists as hogs who ought to have
rings in their noses and as drones that
live on the honey gathered by others. He

compares leading advocates of sound mon
ey to Dr. Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde. He intro
duced this comparison for the first time
in his speech at Grand Rapids, where he
said:
1t will be remembered a few years ago
there was a great deal of talk about a
character do not know whether | ought
to call it q character or two characters-
but it was DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. You
will remember that the same person APP
peared at different times in different char
acters. One time the man was a good man.
benevolent, kindly disposed, at another
time the same person was a mean man., a
villain, seeking to take human life. MY
and Hyde illustrated well when we come
TO discuss the silver question, because we
.en cite you to a number OF men VINO nave
been both Jekyll and Hyde.
The character Of DIR. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde was drawn to illustrate the moral
conflict that is supposed to be going on in
every individual and to, show that If the
low and devilish side of ones nature is
encouraged it will eventually obliterate all
good and take entire possession of the
man. DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde represented
two natures in one individual. One of these
natures represented the spirit of good and
the other the spirit of evil, the latter finally
prevailing. This double person led a dou-
BILE life, and the character is only used to
typify duplicity, hypocrisy and studied
c~oncealment of ones character and mo-
tives. No more insulting or degrading
comparison can be made than tC compare
a person to DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. 1t
is equivalent to saying that under an out
ward guise of responsibility and virtue the
person is really an embodiment of loath-
some qualities, evil practices, odious vices
and fragrant crimes. The persons whom
Bryan named as illustrating this charac-
ter in fiction which has come to stand as
the type of double dealing and double liv-
ing were General Harrison, Hon. John e..
Carlisle, Col. r. G. Ingersoll and Murat
Halstead. All these persons are tolerably
open and above board in their manner of
life, and are not supposed to be moral lep-
ers. Yet because their past course and
present attitude on the silver question does
not suit Bryan he compares them to DR..
Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde, His venom and his
lack of decency increase as November
draws near. @&@

The international Typographical Union,
in session at Colorado Springs, adopted a
resolution expressing it's belief in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to / and recommending the adoption
of laws restoring silver to It's rightful
place as the same existed prior to 1879, and
this without waiting for the consent of any
other nation At a later meeting the reso-
luton was stricken from the minutes. The
supporters of Bryan and silver in attend
ance are said to have been in the majority,
but they decided that the adoption of the
resolution would injure the union. In view
of the fact that the meetings were held in
Colorado, the very hotbed of Organism,
this action by Bryan sympathizers is very
significant. The delegates had evidently
heard from another political element of the
union and believed to be the stronger
one or they would not have backed down
from the stand first taken. They were
right undoubtedly nfor printers are an ex-
ceptionally inteliigent class of men and
must therefore be for3the most part Nc
Kinley supporters. 1t may be worth while
to mention in this connection that the Sem
tinel yesterday printed q brief record of this
action of the union and placed over it this
headline. Resolution Endorsing free-silver
coinage is adopted" The Sentinel, how
ever, is not a newspaper.

Oars a sound dat comes like de voice oh doom,
And it rings from de ocean to de Platte.
Free silver now is a busted boom,
And it knocked Bill Bryan down fiat.
He don't look so gay as he used to do.
For his hopes hab passed away;
Dem bells keep a-ringil', and de Pops feel blue,
As dey think OBJ de Judgment day.
ChorEs-
Hear dem bells, Don't you hear dem bells?
Dey's a-ringin' through de land mighty strong.
Hear dem bells! Don't you hear dem bells?
Dey's a-ringin' for Mckinley right along.
From east to west every wind dat blows
Has de anne good news to tell.
Dat circus show is bound for to close,
Cause de clown isn't fellin' berry well.
De trick mules lame and he can't perform
When de rinsmaster cracks his whip
Dem bells keep a-ringin' for de comm storm.
And dat show is about to skip.
Chorus-Hear dem bells! etc.
Dem millionaires Will hab for to wait
For de wealth dey hoped to gain.
Cause de folks won't bite at de silver bait,
When de hook stick out so plain.
Dey thought Bill Bryan was bound to draw
Like a poultice. ON de free-trade sore,
But dem bells keep a-ringin' and it hurts his Jaw
So 1t doesn't work so slick any more.

The first i~nstallment of the Chicago
Records postal card votes from Indiana
represents eighty-three counties, from
which 1882 are for Mckinley, 2,O47 for
Bryan, 70 for Palmer and 40 for lowering.
The Record is now attempting to encourage
the B~ryanites by saying that the number
of boilers from Harrison to Bryan exceeds
the number from Cleveland to Mckinley.
If Bryanites are permitted to state on the
ballot that they voted for Harrison four
years ago and are now for Bryan, and the
word gets around there will be few Bryan
ties returned who were Democrats prior to
1896. The Records vote is making it's seat
on the fence to face both ways very I'M
comfortable.

This is not a country of classes, as car
didate Bryan asserts in all his speeches,
but it has one class that is very large and
well defined. 1t might be called the class
in political economy. 1t includes a large
majority of the voting population of the
United States. For several years past it
has been attending the school of experi-
ence and has learned q great deal. It is a
costly school,, but some things can be
learned in it which cannot be learned in
any other school, and in the long run they
are worth all they cost. Among other
things the class has learned not to trust
political quacks and charIatans of the
Bryan type who promise to manufacture
sunshine out of cucumbers and to create
prosperity by means OF free trade, cheap
money and other like mountebank devices.
The members of this class will stand up to
be counted on Nov. 8. and the country will
be amazed at it's numbers.
