THE NAKED TRUTH.

In one sense, there will be but one is
sue before the country in the opening
canvass. Shall the prosperity, credit and
honor Of our republic be preserved? Re-
publicanisml says yes. Democracy, as
now constituted by majority action, says
no. Republicanism, speaking through its
platforms and candidates says, restore
our well tried protective policy SO that
our factories and furnaces may move up
on full time, giving work to all that are
willing to labor; re%-establishing our
home market so as to create a good de-
mand at good prices for all our agricul-
tural and horticultural products; and
that the gold standard just as it has ex-
listed and prevailed since 1884, shall be
maintained; and that as since 1873, as
large a volume Of silver currency (con-
sisting Of dollars, halves, quarters, dimes
and half dimes) as the people are willing
to use shall be maintained holding each
piece of such subsidiary coin up to a full
100 cents gold value.
On the other side Democracy through
its platform says, continue practically,
the free trade tariff Of "perfidy and dis.
honor" thus insuring the receipt, each
year, of millions of dollars less of reve-
nue. than our current necessary expen-
ditures; debase our currency by adopting
the silver standard at a ratio to make
the dollar of but 80 cents Of intrinsic
value in the Of the world /;
meet all II national obligations with a
payment Of not more than So cents on
the dollar; compel all private creditors
to submit to a like population of their
claims; and last, but not least, refuse to
national government by its execu-
tive and judicial departments the right
and power to protect the transportation
of its mails and inter state commerce
and thus to suffer incendiary and muir
derous mobs to rule supreme at the will
and by the direction of anarchy's lawless
leaders. Such, in few and plain words,
is the issue Joined between the two lead
ing political parties of the country. On
the one slde II prosperity, honesty
and honor; on the other side is wide.

est type and shade Of dishonor. There is
however, this to be said: A large minor .

honest, honorable and patriotic. That
minority, as now indicated, is NOV

THE BRISTOL COURIER says that the
Democratic party 'isnow marching on
to victory under the banners of free
trade and free silver" This was its first
utterance after its gorge of row Our
esteemed and usually we'll posted con-
temporary is correct about free trade
and free silver" but as to the victory
it is off of its cazip altogether. When
the Democracy got into power and
Cleveland, Wilson and German ruled
the roost" it headed for free trade and
got there to a sufficient extent to de.
stroy all our industries and we'll nigh
bankrupt the country. The voters re-
pudiated the ruinous heresy by a revo'
lutionary majority and then the con
demned issue appeared in the disguise
of free silver, and the majority of the
Democratic party went bowling after
the new fetch.

1t will probably make very little diff
ference whether the independent Dem
ocratic ticket is actualized or not-the
vote will 60 10 Mckinley if it is appar-
ent that there is the slightest danger OF
Bryan's success. Just as Minnesota
Democrats voted in 1894 by the thou
sands for Nelson instead of Becker for
fear that Owen might win.
In any event, third ticket or none,
the patriotism of the American people
may be relied upon to repudiate repu-
diation aud uphold the national honor.

SOME of our Democratic friends are
hopeful of defeating the Republican
county ticket. We would remind these
sanguine gentlemen that it rarely hap.
pens in this neck Of the woods that
the Republicans nominate q ticket and
then allow it to be defeated. We
know of no serious detection in the Re.
publican ranks, and the Republican
majority in this county is considerably
over 800. There is a multiplicity of
candidates for the school directory and
tax assessorshIps in the various dis.
tricts and there may be considerable
swapping on this account which will
effect the county contest to some ex.
tent. But it is very wild guessing to
say that defeat will overtnke the Re-
publican candidates for the county
offices. We do not feel called upon
to make an aggressive war on the
Democratic candidates-the people
know their records fully as we'll as we
debut we are certain that the Repub-
licans fully understand their duty and
interests in the promises, and will take
these convictions along with them to
the polls.

The free coinage of silver would
probably raise the prices Of certain pro-
ducts Of the farm and would enable
those who are in debt to pay their
debts with deprecated dollars, If they
could get them; butt would not give
relief to the country or help the farmer.
If he got more for his cotton he would
have to pay more for his coffee and
sugar, his boots and blankets, his
ploughs and pantaloons. In CONNER
cial matters the silver dollar would be
taken at its commercial value and
nothing more. -Charles.on News and

they still want the candidate to sacri-
fice themselves again and give them
more money. Such men who depend
on candidates to pay their poll tax aud
then put up the ignorant plea for more

legislature from ever casting another
ballot. They should not even be recog-
nized as moral, intelligent citizens.

ILLINOIS is FOR M'kiNLEY
Dcirgatcs-at-Iargc Instructed for ths
Buckeye Statesman.

S~rEiYGFiEro, H., May e.-William
Mckinley, of ohio, is the choice Of the
Republicans Of Illinois for president
OF the United states He was SO de-
clarcd at the Republican state con-
vcntion here yesterday lie was not
only declared the choice, but the over
whclming choice, of the people of this
state who believe in the principles Of
the Republican party.
Every effort and scheme known to
politicians vas brought to bear upon
the delegates to induce them to name
another man, but all the schemes
failed. 1t was apparent the people
whom the delegates represented
wanted Mckinley, and the delegates
could not be induced to violate the
wishes of their constituents.
That the people OF this state were
pleased with the choice was made cY.
idcnt by the /. 100 spectators and Wis.
itors who gathered from all parts of
the state to attend the convention.
As soon as the am of Major Mckin-
ley was mentioned in the convention
there was an outburst Of applause
that surprised even the most ardent
admirers of Major Mckinley. Nearly
tEtlN Indu, Npuliu anu Cu'.h u IlC
vast throng arose at the mention of
the name of the Buckeye statesman
and for nearly five minutes shouted
and yelled and chcered. Hats were
thrown in the air by the more cnthus-
iastic, and for a time it seemed as il
the vast crowd had gone raving mad.
The contest was between the Re-
publicans who believed Shelby NJ.

contest by the people of this State, on
the one hand. and the Republicans
who favored Mckinley on the other.
Arraycd on the side Of senator Cullom
was that organization known as the
Cook county machine" and a large
number of leading politicians and
statesmen Of Illinois. With him were
veteran politicians, who, in years
gone by, have engaged in many Il hard
fought political contest. They had to
aid them one OF the most perfect pn-
litical organizations that has ever
been formed IN this State; but all
their plans went wrong.
While senator Cullom and his back
crs met defeat, they met it gracefully,
and az the conclusion of the convcn-
ton there was not the slightest i'll
feeling IN their part towards the VIC
tors.
a motion was made to lay the Nc
Kinlcy resolutions on the table, and
wasdefcatcl 10y a vote of j03 to S32.
When the uproar following the
adoption o. the Mckinley resolutions
had ceased the following dclegates.at-
