AT HIS WORST,

The demagOgIe was seen at his worst IN one
OF the speeches which Bryan made ut Grand
Rapids Mich. on Thursday night. On the
money question. he said, society is divided into
two classes. land on side you find the cap
'aliStc class and on the other side you find
THE struggling masses. Ihey tine s'r"g-
"glng Masses do in time Of peace produce the
wealth and pay the taxes of the country AMI
in time Of war they are the only people who
"save the Nation And yet these struggling
masses are despised and spit upon in time of
peace. and the idle holders Of idle capital. In
stead Of letting them make the laws when there
"is peace. make the laws. and when there is war
they appeal to the struggling masses Ia offer
mp their lives to save their property The i'm
pudence OF direct falsphood and the meanncss
OF treacherous insnuaton are here completely
blended Bryan knows perfectly we'll that he IL
making a lying and vile appeal TO passion and
ignorance when he talks thus. He knows that
those whom he calls the struggling masses do not
produce all the wealth and bear all the burdens
in time Of peace. and do not alone save the coun-
try in time Of war. lie knows that the laws,
made by representatives OF the majority. show
great and increasing regard for the working pcO-
ple-regulating the hours OF labor. discrminat.
ing in favor Of the weaker sex. safeguarding
children, protecting life and health. lie knows
that there never was and he believes that there
never will be any distinction Of classes in an

win votes 10y melting envy. hatred and malice.
and to accomplish that dcteslable purpose he re-
sorts TO deliberate falsificatiOn.
Against this temper and cohduct Archbishop
Ireland earnestly protested. In such tactics he
discerned the most gnoblc and dangerous clc
ment Of the contest. lie has been oensured for
taking n distorted view and manufacturing an
issue. In reality those who do not or will not
see the truth are to blame. The Archbishop
spoke according TO the facts. For conclusive proof
of the accusation he brought we refer his critics
to the deliberate public utterances of Bryan him
self. His most eager advocates may generally
60 further than he goes in this direction, but not
infrequently he oubids them all. He did ut
Grand Rapids. 1t was an odiouS exhibition of
moral depravity.

PARDON THE "REMINISCENCES.

So many Democrats who voted for Cleveland
In 1892 are now openly and earnestly supporting
Mckinley that It seems want0n indulgence in
UNPLEASANT and offensive Renaissance 10 recall
the circumstances attending President Cleve-
lands election, the high hopes 1t raised in the
minds Of his unquestionaby hOnest-but, as we
think, neutrality-suspicious. and the chain of
succeeding events which made his AdministIa-
ton failure. Republican newspapers and
sneakers have, as q rule. avoided references
thereto, through fear of giving offence TO con-
scientious Democrats who, without wholly aban-
donBg their own party, are in this contestant
for this campaign, at least-tO all intents and
purposes allies and auXiliares of the Repub-
lican party. In pursuing this policy Repub-
leans have been, as It, seems to us, considerable
and discreet But il Is useless 10 attempt 10 con-
ccal or disguise the fact that the hOdge:podge OF
third parties which gained control Of the Demo
cratic National Convention, made its platform
and nominated its candidates. has prma facie
n rjghtful claim 10 the name OF the parts ana
10 the Inheritance of its record It's precedents,
its traditions and It's prestige. 1t may be sad
on the one hand, that the mob now In possession
OF the party machinery, its belongings and its
name stole them outright and, on the other, that
the party had put itself in the way of being
carried off by coddling the mob and pandering
10 It's passions for many years. However that
may be. the mob is in possession.
1T is making the campaign as the Democratic
party. Without saying much about the original
principles or the ancient traditions Of, the party,
il is marching under the party flag, pretending
10 be the only old and original Democracy, and
under that emblem with these pretensions ask
ing support for its candidates and its platform.
We cannot help treating the Bryantc following
In these circumstances as the veritable Demo
cratic party; the party whch-not to go back
10 jefferson or Jackson-elected Grover Cleve-
land and Democratic Congress four years ago.
There has been, TO all outward appearances no
break in the succession. We are forced to con-
slider the party now asking the sufrages Of
voters for William J. Bryan and the Chicago
platform the same that elected Grover Cleveland
and Democratic Congress In 1892. 1t should
3 give offence to no one, then-and we do not
think it will-if we recall one or two historic
- facts, which seem to us pertinent in considering
the question whether. Oh the whole. the Ameri-
can people would be wise in continuing this party
in power in the Executive. and restoring it to
power in the legislative. departments of the
Government

lions that entered into the campaign OF lS'-
which resulted in Democratic success, suppose
we consider for moment what was the attitude
Of the party upon the issue which 1t has maze
predominant in the present campaign. Ii cannot
have been forgotten that President Cleveland
first important act after his Inauguration was
the calling OF special session Of Congress; nor
that the condition Of the National Treasury was
the avowed rea son for that unusual step. Speak
ing for the party of which he was the elected

financial conditions he said II believe these

"sional legislation touching the purchase anu
coinage Of silver by the General Government
Upon his recommendation the silver purchase
provision of the law of 1890 was repealed. That
was Democracy then. 1t brought little or no
relief Later. at the regular session. Democratic
legislation gave us as a panacea for existing ills
a new tariff. Under this we went from bad 10
worse. with commercial and financial depression,
steady deficits in the revenue and a constant III
crease of the public debt. SO We come down 10

THE LAST CHANCE. REGISTER!

This Is the last day Of registration. 1t ought
10 be a record breaker. The list Of qualified
voters will have been completed when the booths
close this evening No additions can be made
thereafter Those who have neglected a solemn
duty of citizenship, an imperative obligation OF
patriotism. can never make good their default.
SO long as they live the reproach Of having de-
serted when their country needed their services
will cling TO them. This Is no ordinary conflict
of debatabe policies. 1t IS an issue Of principle,
of a moral law imbedded in the conscience OF
mankind The Nations honor is at stake. and
if honor goes. security goes with It,
There have been three all-day opportunities
TO register already. Many thousands Of citizens
who do not mean TO lose their votes, and many
others. we fear, who are still capable Of feeling
Indifferent, have failed to qualify. The final OPP
portunity has arrived. We appeal TO every clti-
zen who intends to register in the course of the
day to make the short and easy process his first
first business this morning. II there are citizens
who think they can afford 10 take no part In
putting the enemies of honor, order and prosper.
