The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1896-10-30

And another trouble Is that most Of
them are insane. They don't know when
they have got enough. What would you
think of a man that had 500, 900 neckties?
What would you think of that man getting
up at 3 o'clock in the morning and going
through snow and slush until 10 o'clock
at night to get him another necktie?
Then there Is another thing. They are
trying to fan the flames of hate between
the south and west on one side and the east
on the other. Why should we of Illinois
hate the east? Give us some reason. Why
should we hate the east! They never loan
ed us dollar that we didn't borrow. They
never loaned us dollar that we did not
make the application-never one. And
their money has helped to civilize and build
up the west, and this city of Chicago, the
wonder of the world, the second city on
the continent, was built up by eastern en-
ergy and eastern money and eastern men.
Why should We hate the east? There Is
where we got a good many of our mis-
takes, and that Is where we got good
deal of our information. L like the east,
and love the west. love the republic.
There are some people in 1t that do not
admire, but 1 believe in giving them a
chance, and if they have not got the sense
to take it their children may have.
Now, then, we have got to make our
choice l want the republic one and indi-
visible. Then you have got to choose bo-
tween Mckinley and Bryan. 1t won't
take you long to make up your minds. 1
admit that Bryan is honest. If he was
not his intellectual pride would not allow
him to say what he does. He is honest.
He is a Populist, socialist and a new
Democrat. His head is filled with vagaries,
and his brain is a kind of political insane
asylum without keeper.
Mckinley is trained man. Mckinley
has level head. He is sensible, candid.
He is an American in every drop Of his
blood. He was soldier when Bryan was
in his mothers arms. He was soldier,
he is statesman, he is the apostle of pro-
lection. He knows the road that leads to
prosperity. He knows the way to bust
ness, and he understands honorable meth
DDS.
Mckinley as a Statesman.
A few years ago he made u speech at
Cleveland on protection, and / read 1t, one
Of tho few speeches have read in my life,
and it was the best speech 1 ever read or
ever heard on the subject of protection.
He marshaled his facts with as much skill
as Grant or Caesar ever marshaled his
forces in the field.
His speech had foundation, proportion,
and ever since read it 1 have had pro-
found respect for the intelligence of Will
liam Mckinley. He has made many
speeches during this campaign. He has
made no mistake. He has not made one
that did not add to his popularity. He
has not made one that has not added to the
respect the American people have for him.
Shall we take Mr.. Bryan?
Imagine Mr.. Bryan's cabinet-for sec
rotary of state, Ignatius Donnelly; for Sec
rotary of war, Tillman; secretary of the
treasury, "Coin" Harvey; secretary of the
interior, Henry George; attorney general
Governor Altgeld; secretary of agriculture,
George Fred Williams; postmaster general,
PETER and his whiskers; for the secretary
of the navy, Coxey Then he could keep
off the grass. Then would come the mil
lennium-the cryptogram and the Bacon
cipher and state laws free silver, single
tax, fiat money, destruction of banks and
credit, bondholders and creditors mobbed,
courts closed, debts repudiated and the rest
of the folks made rich by law.
think we had better take Mckinley. If
he should die, a capable, honest man would
take his place-Garret A Hobart If Bry-
an should be elected and he died A
Voice-No danger. Imagine sitting in
the seat of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Wat
son. That is enough to give patriot the
nightmare. Let us stand by Mckinley.
Choosing Between Parties.
Another thing. You have got to choose
between parties. And yoI choose between
parties as you do between men. Parties
have characters. You have got to choose
between the Republican party and the new
Democratic party. oh, forgot the third
party-yes, Palmer and Buckner; too good
to vote for Bryan, but not sensible enough
to vote for Mckinley.
In 1861 hundreds of thousands OF Demo-
Gratis held country above party and came
to the defense of Lincoln administration.
In 1896 we expect hundreds and hundreds
of thousands of good Democrats to come
to the support of Mckinley and honest
money.
New Democratic Party
The new Democratic party is worse than
the old, and that is saying a good deal for
me. The new, Democratic party, with it's
allies, the Populists and the socialists, rep
rosents the follies, the mistakes and alb
surdities of u thousand years. They are in
favor of everything that cannot be done.
whatever is is wrong" They think cred
itors are swindlers, and debtors who refuse
to pay their debts are honest mon. Good
money is bad, and poor money is good. A
promise isibetter than a performances. They
desire TO abolish facts, punish success and
reward failure.
You have got to choose between parties.
The Republican party has been tried in
peace and war, and the history of the Re-
publican party is the glory of the great re-
public. The Republican party has the en-
thusiasm of youth, and it has the wisdom
of age, and besides. that 1t has the genius
Of administration. Stick to the Republican
party. 1t has saved the life of this nation.
1t kept our country on the map of the
world. 1t kept our flag in the air. 1t
made our country free, and this one fact
flls,all the heavens with light.
The Republican party Is the friend Of
labor. Labor is thu Atlas on whose shout
den rests the great superstructure of civili-
zation and the great dome of science and
OF art. Labor Is the great oak, labor Is the
great pillar, and tho dcft and cunning
hands Of labor have filed the world with
things of use and beauty. The Republican
