Resolutions adopted by Unitia
Lodge No. 2e5 F. g. A. M.
Whereas it has pleased the Grand
Architect of this Universe to remove
from our midst our brother, B. d.
Mckinley and whereas it is but just
that flied recognition of his many
iirtues should be placed on record,
Therefore be it resolved by Unitla
Lodge No 2o5 F. and "A. NJ, on
the register of the Grand Lodge Of
the State Of Tenn. of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, that while we bow
with humble submission to the will of
the most High we do not less mourn
for our brother who has been taken
from us.
Resolved, That in the death of B.
D. Mckinley this Lodge laments the
loss of a brother who was ever ready
with willing hands and a voice of
true sympathy to aid the needy and
distressed, a true and active member
of our order, friend and companion
to us all, citizen generous and kind
beloved by all. And while we mourn
the loss of our brother let us cast
around his failings what ere they
may have been the mantle of charity
nor withhold from his memory the
Communications of his virtues claim at
our hands, suffering the apologies OF
human nature to plead for him who
can no longer plead for himself.
Resolved, that the heart felt sympa-
thy of this Lodge be extended to his
wife and relatives in these their hours
of affection, to those most heart
stricken at the loss we all have sus-
tanned. We can only sincerely, deep
ly and most affectionately> sympathize
with them in their affection and sad
bereavement.
Resolved, That the resolutions be
spread upon the records of this
Lodge. Also copy of the same to
be transmitted to fine widow of our
brother. A copy to Maryville TIMES
and Loudon Record for publica-
ton.

Bryan and the Chicago platform,
but he isn't much in love with
either. He says of the candidate:
"There is one great trouble with
Bryan. He likes to talk, and in
my opinion he talks too much. He
should be kept quiet until the
campaign opens, and then he
should not be allowed to speak
without careful preparation. His
recent speeches are not up to the

The election OF Mckinley charges the
republ lean party with fearful respon.
sihility. The only thing that endsn-
gered McKinleyis election was the in.
dieputable fact that many undemocratic
influences we're at work in his behalf
The mass Of what Mr.. Bryan is pleased
to call 1.-The common people," did not
bother their heads about the intricaciee
OF the silver question. Silver and gold
were names merely. A very large mum.
Der Of those who voted for Mr.. Bryan
did %. not because they believe in the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver at
the ratio Of 16 to l. but because, as they
understood il. capital was arrayed
against them. They claimed that Nc
Kinley wac the candidate OF the rich
men. and that his success only meant
their increased supremacy. The fact
that the silver trust, the most giaantic
and far reaching OF all trusts. was be-
hind the common peoples" candidate,
did not make any difference. BRYAN
was an idol. the leader Of the poor
against the rich.
The issue raised by Mr.. Bryan has
not been settled. 1t is in the power OF
the republican party to avert far
more serious clash in the future by
taking up this question OF trusts and
dealing with it. not in spirit OF dema-
gogy. hut in spirit OF justice. Very

Evils exist, but they have been greatly
exaggerated. There are fewer trusts
than people imagine. In some cases
they operate for the good OF the people
rather than for harm. But there is q
growing tendency that must be checked.
The democratic sentiment Of the Amer.
lean people will not countenance any
seeming infringement of the peoples
rights and the trust idea 10 hateful in
the popular mind. The danger in the
present situation is apparent iu the ad-
mission which most sensible people are
ready to make-that Bryan would have
been elected had there been no anarchy
in the Chicago platform, and had the
candidate taken conservative position
in antagonism to monOpolies and trusts.
Will the leaders Of the party, mindful
of the danger that is ahead, be brave
enough to grapple with the question
that proved too much in Nj. C.evelandis
administration Major Mckinley is an
intelligent, broad minded. patriotic man.
