Two things will be observed in the
list that are striking. The one thing
is that. contrary to all precedents in
such cases, Il claim is not made for the
full 22i votes hich constitute major
lty Of the electoral college vote; and the
other thing is that not one Of the big
states Of New York. Ohio, Illinois or
Indiana is claimed. although the COM

all of the three last named will 90 for

Tle 26 states included in the above
table are to be supplemented by the
other four states, of Delaware with
three votes, Mary land with eight votes,
Minnesota with nre votes; and the
previous 2O3 votes which the democratic
committee pronounce to be "absolutely

they do not by long odds convey ar in

PARITY.


An Illustration Of the Situation by jaime.
G. Clark.
James G. Clark. the peoples poet, has
written a poetical illustration of the
cause of the lack of parity between gold
md silver. The illustration presents
the case in a most fo1cible way and
makes it clearly plain why silver is not
on parity with gold:
Brother Jonathan owned beautiful horse
That moved like a prince on the world 3
race course
Only three and twenty years ago.
But an English jockey came one day
And to Hostler John did slyly say:
'That's o hellegant 'orse you ave, "
know.
But the beastly thing is deuced slow
To what . might be II you'd feed i'm 'ay
And take hall the blasted hoats away"
And the jockey tipped the hostler's hand.
And sailed away to his native land.
But the horse waxed thin as q famished
crow.
Then the jockey came again and said:
''Why. the beast grows poor, but I'll bet
my 'ead
That is ide will shine and is fanks will
swell.
And he'll prance on the turf and trot like
ell.
Or the 'eaviest load will heasily draw
II ycu'll feed i'm on public faith and straw
And keep i'm away from that greenback
grass
That 10 making i'm slow and dull as a hass
Now, do this. Johnnie, and over the foam
I'll bear the news to the 'orse thieves 'ome
And your face shall 'ang on the.stable wall
With your Hinglish pals in Rothschild's
stall.
As the only American fnancier'
That the Hinglish thieves can call their
peer"
And, tipping the hostler's palm once more,
He sailed again to his native shore.
But 10! While the horse grows faint and
The Jockey returns and exclaims. with
cheek
As high and hard as q pyramid
While Jonathan swears and shifts his quid,
And the Jockey to Johnnie slyly winks.
And Johnnie appears as grave as the
Sphinx:
That silver gray ID frail, thin cuss,
And ye cawn't trade the hanimal of on us
Till ye bring i'm up to parity
With our blooded Hinglish 'orses. Seer"
And the hostler's honest face looks down

sue and then vote as their knowledge
directs. His is q brave, frank, ra-
tional, manly and a truly American
appeal.
Bryan speaks for the welfare of the
industrious many; Mckinley for the
welfare of the opulent few.
Is there thoughtful man in the
whole United States who does not
know that the greatest danger which
is threatening this republic is the
steadily growing power of conscience
less money? Does not every thought
ful nan feel that unless the grip of
wealth upon our government shall be
loosened we must ultimately have d
republic in name and an oligarchy in
fact?
Citizens equally honest differ sincere
ly on the currency question. Silver
men think the single gold standard q
potent cause of our industrial distress;
gold men think that bimetallism would
increase rather than lessen that dis
trcss. But honest Americans should
be agreed in believing that a peshen-
tial election carried by the trusts and
syndicates, under the leadership Of
Mark Hanna, would be immeasurably
more disastrous and dishonoring to the
United States than the retention or in.
PRODUCTION of any monetary system.
Every citizen before he goes to
the ballot box will, if he be intelligent
and patriotic, ask himself the vital
question::

or for government by money ON. Y.

Money Power Conspiracy.

What He Advocated Before Joining tAa
Money Power Conspiracy.
Henry Watterson, Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal was not always a siIi-
gle gold standard man. Before he en-
tered the money power conspiracy he
and his newspaper were conspicuous
silver advocates. Mr.. Watterson's
thS-ough understanding of the money
question is evidenced by a leading edi-
torial in his paper on August 10, 1886.
in which he laid down the following
seven propositions:
~. That the demonetization of sill.
yer, which has prevailed for some years
up to this writing. both in the United
States and Europe. has had the effect Of
advancing the value Of gold about 40 per
cent.
"2. That this has been accomplished
by depressing the value of all other
property to that extent.
"3. That about 40 per cent, Of the
property and producing resources Of
the people have thus been transferred to
comparatively small class of men,
whose stock in trade Is gold invest.
lnents.
~. That in the exact proportion as
gold has risen, the burden of debt and
taxation has increased; and that in pro-
portion as property and labor have de.
c!ined, the capacity Of the people to pay
their debts and taxes has diminished.
"5. That the silver discount is creao-
ing bonus of more than 80 per cent
in favor of the farm productions of both
India and Asia, which to that extent
cheapens the wheat, cotton and varioua
other productions Of the United States.
&c. That these lamentable conditions
have been produced by anti-silver leg
islation.
~. That they can be undone and
prosperity be restored by pro-silver leg
islation."
The Courier-Journnl then proceeded
to challenge the metropolitan press to
controvert its propositions, and de-
clarcd:
IF they cannot controvert either Of
these propositions they are obviously
conniving at gigantic fraud. y y y We
challenge the editors of the papers
named, and of any Others, to point out d
single flaw or error in any proposition
Of the seven; and if this cannot be done,
we ask in the name Of the people what
interests they are serving. and what
consideration, in kind and amount, they
are receiving in conniving at the in"
iquity."-Denyer Republican. -

MIR. Hanna began his career as the
manager of = political trust by saddling
Mckinley with his syndicate; he fol-
lowed this by saddling the republican
national convention with Mckinley, and
crowned his work by saddling the re-
publican party with crushing load OF

defiance Of public decency and popular
sentiment into which the syndicate boss
has led the republican party has never
been cqualed in the history Of politics.
