Illinois is not considered safe
yet by the Bryanites, and the last
week of the campaign will be
given to capturing Cook county.
Bryan on dry goods box, fir
ing the heart of those who insti-
gated the Haymarket riots will
be a distinguished specimen of
blatant demagOguery run to seed
in the expectation of stirring up
the masses to return a crank to
the chief seat of government.
Never before has such a specta-
Gle been witnessed, and it is safe
to say this country will see no
other.

Chairman Cunningham, of the
Populist party in Georgia, de-
clares that the election was car
ried there by the combined votes
of the negroes and the white Re
pubilcans in the mountains, and
that these influences and forces
are at work to carry the state for
Mckinley with good prospects of
being successful. This is good
news from a far country, but
there is not as much danger of
Georgia going for Mckinley as
there is of Texas being found in
that column. All the same this
declaration of POpulist chair
man shows that all is not serene
even in the state of Georgia.

the streets. Kentucky is hot
over the attempt to run her into
the Bryan mould and thousands
of the old Blue Grassers will vote
the Republican electoral ticket.
Wyoming is now considered safe
for the Republicans on the state
ticket, and there is reasonable
probability of the electoral ticket
following suit. Tennessee is hope
lessly divided, so far as the Pop
ulists and the Popocrats are con-
cerned, for they hate each other
and anything is possible there.

Not only has Governor Altgeld fail
ed to answer Mr.. Forman's charges
but they are being proved against
him by the testimony of witnesses
whose veracity is unquestionable.
The sultan has disproved all of Mr..
GladstOne's allegations and annunci-
atiOns by prohibiting the circulation
of Mr.. Gladstone's speech in the
newspapers of Turkey.
There is one thing at least to be
said in SewalPs favor. He hasn't
pressed the crown of thorns on the
brow of his party by making foolish
speeches for it as Bryan has done.
The latest ILLUSTRATION of the 16 to
of people who are talking for gold as
compared with the number of those
who are transmitting for silver.
The great need of the Democratic
party is physician who can convin-
ce Bryan that he has some disease
which makes it imperatively necessa-
ny for him to give up public speaking
until after the election.
A fusion with the PopuliSts is an ex.
extremely bitter dose for hundreds of
thousands of Democrats. They have
still more than a month in which to
decide to give it to the Populists I'M
der the whiskers and preserve the
best historical principles of their own
party.
Bismarcks letter hinges on inter
national bi-metallism, which was adj
vocated by Senator Hill at the Chic
ago convention. But the majority
there rejected it and Bryan has been
ridiculing it ever since on the stump
as a cowardly surrender to foreign
domination.
The late Thomas +. Joy was one of
the prominent railroad men of the
coutry, but the one fact made conspic-
uous in all the newspaper. notices of
him is that he delivered the speech
nominating Blaine in the convention
of 1884; and it was the worst failure
in all the list of such addresses.
1t will be observed that Grand Old
Man Gladstone is still strong enough
to denounce the Armenian massacreS
as more terrible than any ever rec
Orded in the dismal, deplorable his
tory of human crime;;" and his view
of the matter is the one entertained by
civilized people everywhere.

That fusion of Union generals,
regardless of politics, in the in
terest of sound money and good
government reminds one of the
good old times when patriots of
every shade and political name
pooled their issues and made
common cause for common cOun-
try. There is a suggestiveness
about this movement that carries
with it great comfort and encOur-
agement for those who are fight
ing the battles of the national
credit and honor and cOntending
for the rights of production and
labor. The lesson taught is one
that will not lightly die out of
the minds of those who hear their
words of wisdom and their ap-
peal to patriotic Americans to-
stand by the old flag and the ma
tiOnal honor.

Archbishop Ireland is out in a
circular letter in answer to scores
of requests for his opinion on the
present political situation. Ire
land is the most truly American
of all his class, and his answer to
the questions prOpounded show
him true to his American in
stincts. He repudiates repudia-
ton and thinks that the election
of Bryan would lead to the COM
mune, as in Paris. The Pope
may not be pleased at Ireland's
views on this any more than on
the school question, but the
American people of every rank
and class will endorse what the
archbishop says as to the dan,

That Chicago man who bet
5000 to so that Texas would
cast its electoral vote for Bryan
and Sewall had money to feed to
the dogs, and it is equally true
that he took no stock in the bulle-
tins that issue from Texas Re
publican headquarters at Dallas,
as to the certainty of the state
going to Mckinley. The only
party with a level head is the
man who bet the $40, for it is a
good bet even if he knew he was
to lose it. He has had his so
worth deviling the other fellow
over his 5000.

There is a possibility of course

There is a possibility of course
of the electoral ticket of this
state to be so arranged as to
throw the Bryan and Sewall cleo
tors, but at present there is little
probability of it. The greater
probability is that the CulbersOn
ticket will be defeated and that
is worth any combination with
the POpulists that does not in
vOlve a Republican surrender of
principle. In fact it is one of the
tenets of the Republican faith to
hit a Democratic head whenever
it can be done effectually. In
dependent of this, is the fact that
the present state administration
has betrayed the state, done to
death its school fund, betrayed
all its real Democratic friends,
and played smash generally.
