EOR PhESIDENT-
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, Of Ohio
FOR 7ICF-PREsIDENT-
GARRETT A. HOBART, Of NeE Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1896
Mckinley and prosperity-what more
do you want?
Populists assert they were not bought at
st. Louis, but they do not deny they were
probably sold.
Don't forget that every plank in every
platform before the people is an issue in
the campaign.
Men of all parties to-day may wisely
initiate Mr.. Bryan in one thing. They
may take rest.
Bimetallism would be a stimu!ant to
enterprise. but silver monometallism
would be an intoxicant.
Summer resort people may not be max
ing as much fuss as the politicians, but
they are having more fun.
The people of this country will always
admire boy orator and always love and
honor a patriot statesman.
In comparison with Eastern weather
California is not summer resort merely,
but a sanitarium and a paradise.
One of the best results of the political
revival so far has been the number of
Democrats who have repented and been
converted.
About the time the campaign work gets
hot we shall see Silver Dick Bland busy
with his fall blowing and dodging every
stump in sight.
Society girls will never believe that 16 to
is a real party question until it IS made
to apply to the ratio of beaux to bellies on
dancing platforms.
Even if monometalism were a good
thing, it will take q protective tariff to re-
vive industry, pay wages and put the
money into circulation.
Democracy cannot evade the RESPONSE
bilitv of the ruin ca used by its tariff legis-
lation, nor can it dodge the people on that
issue even by crawling into silver mine.
1t is now announced that the use of
bicycles has seriously affected the straw
hat trade in the East, and before long we
may expect TO hear the milliners COM
planning.
The Republican party hardly needs
campaign of education to teach the people
the way to prosperity, but it does need
organization to bring the voters out and
keep the procession moving.
An Eastern fashion writer SAYS mo
woman of good figure should hide it in
boomers" and now the world desires to
know whether the emphasis of the remark
is on "hide it, or "bloomers."
The telegraphic reports of the hot
weather in the East hardly did the thing
justice, for the account given of it in the
Chicago Inter Ocean was topped off with
the scare head, "Sol SizzIes Sweat"
The trade review of r. G. Dun & Co.
attributes the dullness of business in the
East last week partly to hot weather and
partly TO apprehensions of Bryan's speech,
but fortunately both have now abated.
From the way the old wheel-horses of
Democracy are kicking over the traces it
seems clear that Bryan will have to run
his band-wagon as horseless carriage and
take chances on bursting the boiler when
the squirt comes.
1t is asserted that Tom Watson once
11I sgo ~
that leaks out buncombe stuff, but now
that the mouth is riding high Mr.. Watson
wishes to get in and ride with it, notwith-
standing the leak.
1t is reported that in writing financial
articles for the Omaha World Herald Mr..
Bryan always wrote it ''hnantial," thus
showing that in trying to suit everythin ing
to {, be was in the habit of overlooking
what other folks see.
"BilIy Mason the noted stump orator
of Illinois, has countered Bryan's reference
to the "crown of thorns" and the 'cross
of gold" by reminding recent audience
that there would never have been cruci-
hxion if Judas hadn't got stuck on silver.
In city where food and fruit of all
kinds are so plentiful as in San Francisco
there is not the slightest excuse for toler-
ating the sale of adulterated or deleterious
articles. The best food is cheap in our
market and the cheapest should be good.
The Arizona man who launched the
story of meteor covering two acres of
ground, coming down red hot and sui
phurous on the heads of family of Mexi-
cans, ought at least to have informed the
world whether any of the family were
killed. In stories of that kind great at
tention should always be given to the de-
tails.
