IT MIGHT HAVE E

The Republicans are excessively
jubilant over their success last week.
In spite of the combined power of the
trusts, corporations and millionaires
of the country, Bryan received 175
electoral votes, the largest number
ever obtained in this country by a
defeated candidate since 1910, with
the exception of Tilden in 1875.
Twenty thousand votes distributed
in FIVE states would have elected Brv
an. lie needed only 1900 in Cali

in Kentucky, 5000 in Indiana, 1,5OO

ia to have given him 225 votes and
the election. 1t was a long way from

A PROPHECY.

There r only eight members of
the Comet Cycling club, but they
were out in full force on that deli
cious May Sunday for the run down
to the south shore, and, pulling up
just before noon at Sandy Cove for
a sandwich, a pipe and a rest, they
took possession of the piazza of one
of the yet unopened cottages on the
beach.
The day vas fit for the gods, the
skies blue, the sea a smiling as if it
were midsummer, and the sunlight
on the sails of a large schooner
standing steadily across the bay on
a long tack, the gentle washing of
the water among the rocks on the
shore, the light wind cooling and
grateful as it blew YER heated
brows-were all influences which,
combined with the fragrance of good
perrique, moved one to introspection
and thence to confidence.
The little group fell gradually into
a silence that among SO many wom-
on would have been as ominous as
the hush preceding a thunderstorm.
Here it meant, first, a profound ami
NAL content, and following on the
heels of that a long look into the fu-
ture after the manner of their kind,

what is to come as instinctively as
the meditative woman of what is
past.
Dick Whitney was the first to
speak. Removing his m@eerschaum

~ at its tawny richness, he said:
"Our days are numbered, boys.

The Cause Is Greater

William J. Bryan, in n statement
printed in the Kansas City Times,
urges the formation of clubs to con
tinue the fight for free silver the
next four years. To avoid jealousy
he suggests the organizers refrain
from naming the clubs after him,
merely calling them silver or bimet-
allie clubs. "The cause" he SAYS

travel on its own merits"

was put up job from the begin-
ming to beat this county out of the
Judge and throw it to 10 some other
county, il possible, and it seems
strange that our Republican friends
could not see 1t. After all the de.
feat IN their own county, they still
had chance to get even with the
other fellows and keep the Judge
ship at home, by leaving politics out
of it, but preferred to throw it
away entirely and give it to man
whose political record is as variega-
ted AS was Joseph's coat of old. We
believe that bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush, even from a
Repu bican standpoint, and claim
that Judge in our own county 10
worth two in some other county.
When you ask our. Republican
friends about the qualifications Of
the two men for Judge, they admit
that Col. Monroe is a better man
for the Office than John Holt. But
then he was on the Democratic
ticket, and they couldn't go that.
1t Is very unfortunate that politics
should interfere In the selection of
our Judges, but since it is the con-
trolling feature, it is perhaps ap-
propriate that j ohm II. Holt should
be elected, as he has had more po-
litical experience for his age than
any man we know of.

REPUBLICAN RASCALITY.
A Sample Of Their Dirty Work In
This County.

Never in the history of the poll.
tics Of this county have the Repub-
licans engaged in as much dirty
work and mudslinging as in the
campaign just closed. They have
stopped at nothing and had no re.
gard for past favors, decency, social
ties, or their oaths, even, in some
cases.
The last issue of the Journal had
a double column scare article about
a lot OF money alleged to be In diff
ferent hands to buy votes for
Junior Brown. The whole business
is a lie from beginning to end, and
the editors of the Journal and Re-
publican Com mittee knew it to be a
lie, and even admitted that they
didn't believe it. Henry Clay Hyde,
member of the Congressional Com
mittee for this county, at once
issued u circular letter Offering
81, 900 reward for proof of any of
the said statements. AS yet no one
has claimed the reward or advanced
any proof for it. However, the
Republican Committee was des-
perate and determined to keep up
the bluff till the election, SO they
sent out to the red brush of Hack =

ignorant and depraved creature

The Republicans have been
claiming this State by from fifteen

in the last day or two that their

by close majority. but the returns
from the back counties are slow
coming in, and it will take several
days yet to tell for sure about it.
