Upon my saying that there were some
differences even among Catholics as to
their belief. the cardinal went on:
Il do not know that there should not
be differences Of belief as to religious
matters. OF course, the main princi-
pies of Christianity are the same, but
as long as men have different minds
there will be different theories as to the
details, as to the lines Of policy in the
management Of churches, and as to
Interpretation Of certain parts of the

The Princess of WALES

1t seems almost impossible to believe that
the Princess of Wales is fifty-one years old
but the irresistible logic of figures cannot
be refuted and the Almanach de Gotha tells
that the Princess Alexandra of Denmark
was born on Dec 1. 1874 At the time of
the marriage of the Prince and Princess of
Wales womens dress was about as ugly and
urbecoming as it well could be- It was un-
graceful in shape and often crude in color.
From that day to this there has been a
steady and constant improvement,

having obtained a coffin he placed the

part of the south, moreover, the cleo

of the blacks are disfranchised I'M
der legal forms by the new constitu-
tons of Mississippi and South Carolina
in each Of which states they constitute
a large majority Of the population; IN
many other states they are either not
allowed to vote or are counted OUT
after their ballots have been cast.
So far as the mere fact of electing a
president is concerned, one majority for
Mckinley in New York would have
been Of just as much good as the i'm
mense majority which ne did secure.
According TO the latest figures the
majOrities received in the states and
the electoral vote is as follows:

Here are the comparative figures:
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-11-10


Now as to the fight which brought
about this result That fight is well
known to every man in the country. In
Kansas, which has not given Republi-
can candidate for president its electoral
vote for over eight years, it is believed
that Bryan made wonderful cam
paign. The same thing is believed in
Mississippi and in some Of the more OBJ
scure portions Of Missouri.
Bryan had all the more prominent
newspapers against him in this light
because he advocated a wrong and dan
gerous platform. He had business men
against him because he threatened
their business. 1t turns out by the pop
ular vote that he also had against him
the employees of the country because he
threatened their employment.
But, we are told, think Of his wonder
full speeches. He was practically alone,
it is claimed, and if he could have had
more time to make speeches he would
certainly have won.
That statement is not true. Bryan
won strongest in those states where he
did not make speeches. 1t is not meant
here that Bryan is not wonderful ora
tor. He is. He voiced his platform
better than any one else in this country
on his side could. but it was so rlckety
that even eloquence could not conceal
its dangers.
Mr.. Bryan delivered 500 speeches, in
a tour covering over 10000 miles, re-
serving speech No. 600 for conting-
ency which he firmly believed might
arise-viz.: the necessity of making a
speech when notified. of his election.
How far his individual efforts on the
tide that set in against him in various
cities may be seen by noting the follow
ing cases where cities that gave Cleye-
land large pluralities in 1892 gave plu-
ralities to, Mckinley:
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-11-10
in the following states:
Clevelaad's Electora

Michigan at that time chose electors
by districts instead Of on general tick
ct as in all the other states. While
Cleveland got over third Of them. Har
rison received 10000 more votes in the
state than he did. In the Republican
state of Ohio Cleveland came within
1000 votes Of carrying it, and did Sc
cure one of its electoral votes.
The Democratic party sought 10 re-
trieve itself from a series OF serious
blunders and blundered into that CHI
cago platform. AS result those states
which gave Cleveland pluralities ag-
gregating 1880 in 1892 gave McKin-
lev in 1Ssi the following pluralities:

The returns from the southern and
mining states where Bryan received his
pluralities are still largely matters OF
estimate. Comparison Of the aggregate
with the total of the pluralities given
for Mckinley electors shows the sound
money candidate to have popular plu-
rality Of about 100000.
1t is not necessary to point out what
an overwhelmingly popular defeat for
Popocratic socialism this is. The fig
ures themselves tell the tale. We are
indisputably a popular government.
not a state government. Patrick Hen
nv asked of the Declaration of indie
pendence: "What right do they say.
We, the people, when they should have
said we, the states|" Decades after
Patrick was dead this nation fought a
war over that very thing and settled it
forever. Our electoral vote is a vote Of
states particularly and does not give
the popular vote its full strength, but
the totals here given do express in thun
der tones to the vandals Of the Altgeld
stripe warning to keep their hands off
the shrine of American liberty.
There appears to be an impression
out among the Kansas Populists that
this race was a close one. That 2S0
electoral vote for Mckinley is the larg-
est electoral vote ever given a candi-
date for the presidency, with one eXcep
ton, Grant having received 2S6 in 1872
against Greeley. The vote given the
successful candidates since that time is

electoral and popular vote. In 1892
there was no Socialism in the Demo

court, no experimental money scheme,
no free riot planks and Cleveland made
this showing in the following states:

world, and its price is fixed here instead
of across the water. Statistics tell us
that the average export OF corn
from 1870 to 1890 amounted to 3.S per
cent. of the production of this county,
which certainly would not exert much
influence over the market price here.
But, again, what do we learn? We see
that in 1880 when we had 34.2 bushels
per capita, corn was selling at 1916 cents
per bushel. In 1889, nine years later,
with per capita of 34.3 bushels it fell
to 2S3 cents in price. In 1892 we pro-
duced only 249 bushels per capita which
brought the enormous price of 39.4
cents per bushel, nearly as much as In
1880 when the production was about 10
bushels more, per capita.
These statistics are taken from the
United States reports and prove posi-
lively beyond doubt that the theory
of r-production is advanced by our
single standard people for no nobler
purpose than to divert the minds of the
people from the truth, or else because
of ignorance of facts themselves.
