The Following is an Editorial From
That Paper OF Recent

The manner il which the opponents
OF the ticket nominated at Chicago have
begun tlpir camp ign must rouse the
profoundest resentment OF every Ameri-
can regardiul of the interests and jeal-
Gus OF the honor OF his country. The
representatives OF half of the American
people have been denounced in deirious
language as anarchists. cutthroats and
swindlers. Their chosen candidates ior
the highest office in the republic has
been pictured as crazy Jacohn or Il
designing demagogue. Commerce and
industry have been threatened with the
very panic these alarmists have pro-
iessed to fear.
This crusade has been one OF reckless
misrepresentation from the start. The

cerity to call Mr.. Bryan demagogue.
He follows the truth as he sees il,
though it led him to political des,ruct-
ion. Last year he could muster only
10000 votes ior his fraction in Nebraska
out OF over 100000, but he had no
thought OF compromise. He fought on,
regardless Of victory or defeat, thinking
only Of what he believed right. Ii he
had not been nominated nobody would
have dreamed OF calling him Il dema-
gogue. His spirit is rather that of a
a prophet.
On the other side we have William
Mckinley, bound hand, loot and tongue
to the most corrupt combination that
ever exhibited itself openly in All Amer
lean presidential campaign. His elect
ion would put the r. sources OF the gov
ernment at the disposal OF theHanna syn
dication, and the exploitation OF the
people by Il rapacOus ring OF mandar-
ins. II would mean in the end Il popu-
lar revolt before which affrighted con-
servalism might pray lOr leader with
the mDderale instincts OF Bryan.
In most respects the superiority OF
the democratic candidate is 50 palpible
as to make comparisons needle8sly cruel
to his opponent. What then, is the
duty OF American citizens who desire to
secure the best possible government ior
the republic during the next four wears?
Plainly it is to vote ior that president
ial candidate who is maniiestly best
fitted 10 administer the government,
and to settle the financial question
through their representatives. IN con-
gress. Gold men may vote for gold can
didates, silver men Tor silver cal d,dates
and bimetaIiSls. But nobody whoreal-
izeS what is at stake in this campaign
can vote to abandon government Ol the
people, by the people, for the people,

anu Jllfles, so Tar from being reN0lutlOn-
ary is Il vindication OF the ancient
rights OF the English-speaking race
against novel and dangerous innova-
tion which deserves the name OF an
archy much better than anything done
at Chicago.
The platform reailirms the principal
lndorsed by vast majority OF the peo-
pie OF the United States, OF tariff ior
revenue only, and protests against the
disturbance to business that would be
caused by "a return to McKinleyism.
There is nothing incendiary in that. In
this point it is the Chicago platform
that is conservative and the one adopt
ed at ST. Louis that is revolution
AIRY.
"We hold" adds the Democratic pro-
leSslon OF faith, "that the most efficient
way OF protecting American labor Is to
prevent the importation OF foreign pau
per labor to compete with it in the
home market" That is honest,
straightforward prOlecIiOn-the only
kind thai does what it preiends to do.
The Chicago platform demands sim
plicity aud economy in government and
| protests against the proiligate waste OF
money that has characterized repubi-
can legislation. That is not the reck-
less spirit oi mob. 1t is rather the
sober utterance OF prudent property
owners and taxpayers, OF whom the
Chicago convention was principally
composed.
The protest against arbitrary federal
interference in local affairs is one which
Jefferson would have commended rs the
very foundation stone OF his political
! faith.
In denouncing the aitcmpt to sWindle
the government out OF more than $780,
100000 by extending the Pacific railroad
debts the convention was fighting an
archy, ior there can he no more danger
ous anarchists than those who are pow
erlul enough to override the laws and
amasS wealth from the property oI the
people.
Moreover, the silver plank in the
Chicago platform does not deserve the
frantic vituperation leveled against it.

STRIFE IN DIR. BROWNS CHURCH.
Resolutions Tndorsing the Pastor Post

San Francisco, Jan. 30.-The gathering
storm OF dissension in Rev. DR.. c. o.
Browns church broke last night. The
scenes which marked its crisis were ver-
bally violent and disorderly enough for a
political convention where men and issues
meet IN the open. After a brief session of
prayer and song came alternating gusts OF
applause and Kisses, and disorder reigned
supreme. The upshot of IL all was that
the resolutions of confidence adopted by
the trustees and the standing committee
Tuesday night were laid over for a week.
