The general impression of those who
are in the thick of his money fight is
that the defeat of the party of repu-
diation and discredit should be made
as signal as possible. Strange that
this sentiment should be the most
strongly echoed by the very party.
the sound money Democrats, who are
pouring hot shot into the sound money
ranks of the Republicans all along
the line. These so-called sound
money advocates have a leaning to-
ward Bryan on account of his Demo-
cratic name that prevents their heart
lily entering the lists against him.

The outrsges perpetrated upon
colored people in the eastern end
of McLennan county are not only
a disgrace to the state and the
people of that county, but they
are so cowardly, so unworthy any
thing or person in the semblance
of human kind, that one wonders
under what conditions Of birth
and education such things are
possible. When the young sons
OF farmers, mere boys in age child
rem of supposed to be emiently re-
spectacle parents, combine to
shoot down poor negroes as they
emerge from their cabins at night,
half dazed with sleep as they rest
from the severe work Of the cot
ton fields, it is time to inquire
where the race prejudice is going
to end. II negro has not the
right to work without being ter
rorized by whitecaps, what right
has the poor fellow got? There
should be no bail for the mis-
creants who shot Anderson
Vaughn in cold blood. Color has
nothing to do with the quality Of
that crime. 1t was as diabolical
and fiendish a murder as the an
malls Of crime present and deserves
the gallows.

Grover Cleveland keeps to his punt
and his palm leaf fan this weather
and says not one word either good or
bad as to the recent action at India
napOlis. All he did do in that direc-
ton was to emphatically permit his
paws to be used to rake the sound
money chestnut out of the fire. Cleve-
land is not willing to sacrifice himself
for the party that has sacrificed it
self for him. He is greater than the
party. The nomination goes not to
mahomet.

Matters are approaching crisis
in Spain, In the conduct of Cuban
affairs. A war Of determination
has been determined upon on the
part Of Spain and orders issued
against the planting Of sugar cane
for this coming season. This
means that the plantations will be
abandoned, the destruction Of all
property be the policy Of both
sides and a ruthless war of de-
struction and pillage ensue. 1t is
not to the credit Of the United
States that she does not interpose
to stop this wanton and useless
sacrifice Of life and property. This
determination on the part Of Spain
will certainly lose them Cuba. 1t
will only drive the conservative
planters who have hitherto held
aloof into the ranks of the Cuban
patriots and swell their armies.

The Illinois candidate for the presi.
dency on the sound money Democrat
ic ticket, may make little hard sled
ding for Altgeld in that state. That
nomination should make both Illinois
and Kentucky certainly Republican
in the national election this fall. As
a side track upon which to run Demo
cratic votes THAT would otherwise go
to Bryan it wN do, but it cuts both
ways and will take thousands of good
votes from the MCKINLEY column.
The most signifcaAt thing about it is
that it marks a divided Democracy.
Will that Democracy, thus divided,
stand outside of place and govern
ment direction as long as it did in the
division of 1860?

What troubled Bryan as he swung
around the circle in Ohio was that
the thousands who attended his
speeches out of mere curiosity almost
all wore Mckinley badges. He grew
to hate the sight of them and made
more than one sarcastic allusion to
their number. He will find the day
after the election that not alone Ohio.
but all the great north and west and
some of the south is in the same boat.
The Mckinley badges will be in evil
dence everywhere on November 3rd.

The National Democratic party
is holding its sound money annex
this week. There is no doubt that
the capture by the Populists and
anarchists OF the great party Of
Jefferson and Davis and Calhoun
is sore thorn in the sides OF the
Clevelandites, but tho soreness is
as much over the threatened dis
Indignation of the whole mass as
over any surrender of principles
Were it a questson of principles,
with Washington and Jefferson
and Adams and all the
fathers pronounced protection
lists, they would not have
refused support to the st. Louis
platform or candidates on the
ground OF the strong protective
plank in that Republican platform.
All the same it is refreshing to
note that the anarchists and re-
pudiationists have not swallowed
the national Democracy bodily.
Still in Republicanism alone is the
salvation of the country.

The Indianapolis convention is a
thing of the past. What its work
will amount to is in the future. 1t has
left the field clear for the Republicans
There is nothing in that platform
that places the Republican party un-

framed it. 1t is in no sense that they
hate the Republican party less, but
thatthey hate theBryan faction more.

Perhaps this is why he liked Grant,
and Mrs. Grant said her husband was
stubborn man. Ii goes nowhere
that he is not really inclined to. He

lily seen in the manner in which he
quietly mods his head and goes here
or there regardless Of the will of his
guides.

Spain is sending more victims to the
island of Cuba. She is doomed to de-
feat. Even if she could overwhelm
the insurgents and reduce the island
to submission by sheer force of num-
bers it would not tranquilize matters.
The revolution like a smouldering fire
would certainly break out in a new
spot. Spain had better sell out and
then get out before she is driven out

CANDIDATE HAWLEY.

The Tenth congressional district
Of this state has put itself In posi-
tion to be heard from on the Re-
publican side of the, house this
coming election. In the nomina-
ton Of Hon. r. B. Hawley the con-
vention honored itself, giving to
the voters of the district an oppor-
tunity to vote for a gentleman in
every way worthy and well quail
fed to assume the duties OF their
representative. 1t is well known
that the nomination to congress
from this district has been at Mr..
Hawley's disposal for some time
back, but heretofore he has refused
on account Of the disinclination OF
his mind to political contests and
the pressure Of his largo business
affairs. He consents now only on
account of the vast interests in
volved in the present makeup OF
congress, as the result Of the pres
ent general election, profound.
ly convinced that the well
fare OF the country is inseparably
connected with the triumph Of the
Republican party. That Mr.. Haw-
ley is an out and out Republican
is no news to the people of his dis
trict. He is not one OF those who
has left the affairs Of the party to
other hands, but one OF the few
who while interesting himself in
the state and national affairs OF
his party has persistently refused
all solicitations to office. The Re-
publicans of the Tenth district are
to be congratulated on the accep-
tance of the nomination to congress
from this district by Mr.. Hawley.
He is not only a man Of superior
natural endownents, most sue
cessful business man and genial
companion, but he is thoroughly
with the commercial
and Industrial conditions OF his
district and the needs of the
country. He is intelligently
alive to the dangers that so
gravely threaten the financial cred
1t Of the country, personally inter-
ested in industrial movements OF
large volume, thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the history Of the pres
emit distress and the causes that
have created it, fully in harmony
with the principles OF the Repub-
lican party as enunciated at st.
Louis, and in personal and social
standing the peer of any Of those
who will become his associates in
the Tails Of national legislation.
Such man can not but command
q large vote among the sound
money Democrats OF his district
under existing circumstances. His
native city, or at least the city in
which his home and business GEN.
ters has always Loyalty stood by
the member Of congress nominated
from among its citizens, largely ir-
OF party, wisely consid-
ering that the vast commercial in
terests that sre involved with the
work OF congress will be best con-
served by a personal representa-
tive, one who will be able to speak
authoritatively as to her position
and wants. Not only so, Mr.. Haw-
ley's personal acquaintance with
the agricultural needs Of his dis
trict and his personal interest in
productions of the soil eminently
qualify him to represent this class
Of his constituents, so that it would
seem that nature, education, posi-
ton and environment have all
conspired to pre-eminently fit him
for the high office OF representa-
tive in the best sense OF that term.

with his protection to sugar in
terests in the United States,
Honolulu and Hawaii generally
will not have much trouble to
pick a winner to the best inter-

of Mckinley, will come a two

this is true, we may look for

And he preached against all kinds

Except the one Of his own.
He preached against dancing and

And all things that young folks

AS games of chance and the merry
dance,
And the horse race and circus
show.

And his name 1 think you know;
