1t was lonely Greenback;
At his lot he did repine,
As he strolled the street so sadly
on the eve OF valent ne.
FOR he coveted an outfit
That would make him smart and fine,
But every one he wooed refused
To be his valentine.
He looked in all the windows;
There were suits called supernne,
But they red the little Greenback
when he said, Oh pray be mine.

DURING the last session of the lepis-
lature bill was Introduced, sane
toned. by labor organizations, to
have prison labor make the goods
needed in all the state institutions,
the object being to remove prison
labor from competition with free
labor as far as possible. This bill
was pigeonholed and thus defeated
by John r. Tanner. As chairman of
the republican state committee he
caused a special committee to be ap-
pointed to investigate the subject Of
prison labor, which was simply q
scheme TO postpone the considera-
ton OF the bill until it was too late
for it to be passed. The bill never
got out Of the pigeonhole. And now
this man Tanner has the gall to come
before the public and charge Gov.
Altgeld with responsibility for the
failure Of such legislation. There is
good reason to believe that there is
no limit to this mans impudence.
When state treasurer he did not &C.
count for the interest money he re-
ceived on state funds, aud during the
recent session of the legislature he
opposed revenue reform and Doodle
investigation. He is certainly the
last man to criticise the acts of an
upright executive and to advocate on
the stump q measure for prison re-
form which he defeated in the legis-
lature.

Mr.. BRYAN has conducted this
campaign on broad principle. Upon
reason and argument that certainly
commends itself to the judgement Of
all fair minded and patriotic citizens.
He has met falsehood with truth.
He has replied to the unjust criti-
cisms and misrepresentation BY
strong arguments. His whole cam
paign has been characterized with
such truth and honesty that surely
will command the respect of this
whole country. and win impart con-
fidence, patriotism and public honor
to the whole nation. He is the
standard-hearer of the people and
not Of corporations, syndicates, trusts
and non-Producing millionaires. He
represents the principle of free COIN
age at the ratio of 16 to 1. a double
standard of equal power. both gold
and silver, the money of the Ameri-
can people and not the psrnic on Q
gold standard. the gold for the few
and poverty for the many.

Tue Union Of this city is following
the example of the other Mckinley
organs in Understanding the Bryan
crowds brought to this city.
II the Hanna representatives want
the people to believe that there is a
falling off in the attendance at Bryan's
speeches and the demonstration on
his tour they should be more careful
in editing the dispatches of some of
the correspondents who are accom-
panying Mr.. Bryan.
The correspondent of prominent
New York anti-Bryan newspaper
wires that the attendance and enthu-
siasm at the Bryan meetings in Mich
igan we're Unprecedented. He esti-
mated that in one days trip Mr..
Bryan spoke to 139, 900 people. The
history of that one day is . fair
sample of the work the democratic
candidate is doing for his cause. In
order to reach the vast number of
people whom he addressed he had to
travel 1872 miles. making % speeches
and talk five hours and forty minutes.
The summary of the Bryan cam
paign made by this opposition cor
respondent is exceedingly interest
ing. MIR. Bryan has travelled since
his nomination 1874 miles; he has
delivered nearly 500 speeches in 3I5
cities and towns in 81 states.
The conspicuous feature of this re-
markable campaign is the wonderful
work OF Mr.. Bryan and his great
popularity. His victory will be a
great personal triumph.

pressed with the explanation of the
fact that the republicans are so per.
slstently opposed to the democratic
presidential candidate going among

and in appearance, manner and
habits. He is man of whom no true
American can fail to be proud, and
no one who assumes to belittle him

After one Who il not 90 blinded bv
