Clinton Republican,: Up at Lucas the
Republicans and Democrats erected tall
flag poles. On the Republican pole "Old
Glory" waved. 1t is a good enough en-
tlem for patriots any time and unusually
appropriate this campaign. The Demo-
Gratis were not satisfied with the plain old
stars and stripes, so they raised a banner
which contained sixteen white stripes and
one of yellow. The other day a sound
money man and free silver Democrat
were standing near the poles, each admir-
ing the emblem of his party. when there

Rose Field. in Chicago Post: Our gall

encouraged by the stirring news from
Springfield, Mo-, where the brave boys set
fire to an American flag. which, in cer-
tain sections of the grand old state of Mis-

votes for Mr.. Bryan-throwlng eggs or
burning flags. The trouble with egg-.hrow-
ing is, as was the case in Covington. that
unless the aim is accurate the odorous
missile may land on the heads and cloaks
of inoffensive women, which Is entirely
&C Itrary to our intention. Therefore. it
would seem to us that 1t would be safer
and more popular to burn flags, and We
feel sure that this act will be very gen.
orally applauded by the more thoughtful
and conservative OF our supporters. AS
election day is a week distant We ought to
be able to burn up several thousand flags
without much difficulty. realizing that the
more flags We destroy the fewer the in
famous goldbvgs will be able to display at
their insulting demonstrations of the stars
and stripes next Saturday. So, on with the
dance! Let the conf1agration proceed! a
cabinet mission or good foreign office
awaits the patriotic Bryan man who de-
stroys the greatest number of national
banners between this day and the Sd of
November
