that Palmer and Buckner will get a
large vote in Illinois, Indiana and
Kentucky, and that if there had been
any doubts about those states casting
their electoral vote for Mckinley,
they would have been swept away by
the action of the Indianapolis conven-
tion, and Secretary Mercer, of the
same Committee, thinks that many old
soldiers in Kansas and Nebraska will
vote for Gen. Palmer on personal
grounds alone. The popocrats are
much alarmed over a rumor that Sec

the stump in Kentucky for Palmer

The reason why Representative
Richardson, of Tenn, has been de-
tached from the Washington Popo.
cratic headquarters and sent to
Chicago, is not that Chairman Jones
wanted him there, as was given out at
those headquarters, but because Chair
man Butler of the Populist National
Committee did not want him here, and
the Democrats were afraid of offending
Butler. Some ten days ago, Butler
and Richardson had bitter quarrel
which came near resulting in flows.
They have not spoken to each other
since. Richardson has gone to Chicago,

According to what appears to be
trustworthy administration authority,
it will be as much as an officials life
is worth his official life for him to take
the stump for Bryan. MI. Cleveland
has determined to consider it the rank
est sort of offensive paltisanship for
any member OF his administration to
take an active part in the campaign,
in Bryan's behalf, and word to that
effect has been passed around in all the
departments. 1t is also stated on the
same authority that three prominent
officials who have been talking for
Bryan will be asked to resign. These
officials are Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Scottwike, Auditor Baldwin
and Deputy Pension Commissioner
Bell. The first two are subordinates
of Secretary Carlisle and the last is
under Secretary Francis, who has al
ready declared himself to be in favor of
the Indianapolis ticket.

day as any political event possibly can
be before it has actually taken place.
But much more than small majority
of the electoral college is sought for.
SO instead of relaxing their efforts, the
Republican managers are increasing
them and will continue to do SO until
election day. If Mckinley and Hobart
are elected by only small majority,
the issues of this campaign viii con-
tinue to be agitated and business re-
main in an unsettled. condition for
four years more and the battle will have
to be fought all over again in 1900.
What is wanted, and what every Re-
publican aDd every true friend of good
government should help to bring about
is such an overwhelming majority,
both in the popular vote and in he
electoral college, for Mckinley and
Hobart, honesf money, public prosper
ity. and constitutional government,
that no other party will ever dare t.
make National Campaign on a plat
form favoring debased currency, repu-
diation CT debts, public and private; at
tacking constitutional government and
favoring anarchy by implication, if
not in direct words. Let the seal Of
public condemnation be SO indelibly
placed upon the Shiny serpent of dis
trust, 5batched by the cranks of popu-
lism and nursed into dangerous activ-
ity by the Democratic National Con-
yentioD, that all the world may under
stand, once for all, that money may
be safely invested in tie u. s., with
the certainty that all obligations will
be honorably met. When that is done
the foundation will have been laid for
an era of prosperity that will exceed
anything our country has yet exper-
ienced.. Enroll yourself in this army
Of honnr and recruit as many of your
friends as possible in order to help
bring this about.
