Bryan's followers are boasting that
their candidate polled more votes in
1896 than Cleveland did in 1892, when
he swept the country. But Cleveland
had no populist endorsement. Add to
the Cleveland vote of 1892 the populist
vote of that year and the difference will
show how far Bryan fell behind.

SIX PHOES-

How any man with any claims to de-
mocracy or decency can get his consent
to vote for Dawson for Congress is mex
plicsble, upon any other hypothesis than
having started to the devil by the third
party route, he is determined to sink as
low as possible in the political scale.
What good could it possibly do anybody
but himself to send Dawson to Congrees2
He wonld rattle around in the seat made
famous by McCresry and others and
draw the IS, 900 or so a year, but after
that what? Uncouthed, unlettered and
unmannered he would be the laughing
stock OF the concern and bring the blush
of shame to those who have the honor
and reputation Of the district at heart.
He represents all that is ignorant and VIZ
cious in politics and stands for party,
which has nothing in common with
democrats, even OF the new order OF pure
and indebted, who hug the delusion to
their breasts that they possess all OF the
honesty, patriotism and purity of the
party from which they have bolted. Dav-
ison in Congress would be likea knot on
a log or a wsrt on a nose and the man
who votes for him to spite the demo-
cratic party ought to be made, il per-
chance he is elected, to go TO Washing
ton and stay there to suffer the NORTH
cation and humiliation, he would be
bound to feel with such representa-
tive.
Good democrats will vote for John B.
Thompson, the party's accredited stan.

certain former democrats are making pos,

their opportunity for doing good in the

these men can afford to give them the
