GARRET A. HOBART, Of Neg JerSeJ
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 1896.
Palmer and Buckner are not too old t.
be elected, but just think how old they
will be before they are elected.
Sweet and delightful is it to have on,
day in the week when Bryan has TO Civ,
his tongue a rest.
To the American patriot home sugar il
always sweeter than foreign sugar and i.
well worth the cost of protecting it.
While you rest to-day give some study
10 the economy of your home, and yoJ
will see the reason why you should vot,
for protection and prosperity.
This is good day for Republicans tt
think over the situation and consider
whether it would not be better to unite
for victory than to divide for defeat.
The New York Sun headed a double.
loaded editorial on the nomination of Pal.
mer and Buckner with the words, ga
Splendid Ticket-Don't Vote for It'
If the Republicans of San Francisco can
harmonize into perfect unity of action
they need not fear the fusion of all the
other elements OF the people put together
Gold is now flowing to this country in
considerable quantities, and it would be
the height of folly to continue the Demo.
cratic party in power and turn the trade
the other way.
If the Boaro of EqualIzers can be
brought into court and made TO explain
we shall have some fun for our money
this year and perhaps find way of say
ing our money next year.
The difficulty with the Democrats this
year is that they have to run their cam
pnign against the experience of three
years as well as against common-sense.
and OF course the Job is hard one.
Reducing railroad assessments and rails
ing those on the property of the people
seems to be such an agreeable duty to the
Equalizers that they will probably con-
tinue it until we find a way of making it
disagreeable.
The hnQInaco ha iv,ko
ingmen and the conservative farmers of
the country are now so thoroughly united
and well organized to fight the battle for
sound money and protection that Bryan
lurid speeches can be read withoutanxiety.
They have ceased 10 disturb trade.
As the British are denouncing the Re-
publican party as the advocate of protec-
ton and the Democratic party as the
advocate of free silver the American peo-
pie have the cheering satisfaction of run
ming this campaign to suit themselves,
without advice from the London Times
Men may make fun of the stalN art
Democrats who are going to vote for Pal
mer and Buckner. but all the same the
American people admire pluck and con-
slstency, and underneath all the fun max.
ing there is hearty respect every here
for the mon who have sufficient courage to
stand up for their convictions, even against
their own party.
An evidence of the growth of sentiment
IN favor OF equal suffrage among the
women of England is found in the fact
that while the women's petition for suf-
frage presented to Parliament in 1867 was
signed by only 1899 women that which was
presented this year was signed by 257, 600,
including some of the most influential
leaders OF society in the kingdom.
The silence of the eloquent Claude Mat
thews at this time is explained by the an
nouncement that he has been seriously ill
as result of making a speech in rain
storm, but while this explanation justifies
his absence from the stump it will only
confirm the general belief that the fellows
whom Bryan turned down at Chicago
didn't have sense enough to get in out of
the rain.
The effect of the terrible heat in New
York during the month of August this
year is shown by the fact that while the
highest number of dead animals removed
by the city officials in any previous Au-
gust was 1914 in 1892, last month they had
TO remove over 10000, nearly 1000 of the
number being horses. 1t will be seen
from this that bad climate is a COSTLY
thing to live in, as well as an uncomfort-
able one.
Siberia has been long regarded as a
and OF utter wretchedness and misery.
but since the extension of the Siberian
railway the number of peasants from
other parts of Russia who have fiocked
into it to get land is said to be so great
the Russian Government has become
alarmed and is trying to check the i'm mi

the aspect OF country whether you go to
as prisoner or a free settler.
