THE HUMBUG CAMPAIGN.
Ridiculous Claims of the Pouocrntic
Managers.
Chicago Chronicle (dcm)

Chairman Jones is reported as claiming
couple Of days ago that Illinois would
give Bryan $4,000 majority" The ma
jorty against Bryan in Illinois will be
twice or three times that number of votes.
Ii Is mere absurdity to claim that Illinois
will give populist majority. large or
small. 1t shows lack OF intelligence or a
lack of honesty which is a disgrace to politi-
cal leadership.
1t is given out from local populistic
headquarters that polls" have been taken
of various counties in Illinois which show
gains and indicate a majority in the state
for Bryan and Altgcld. Every state
mCnt OF the kind is a false pretense and
fraud, bald and apparent on its surface.
The populist managers have not made a
poll Of any county or city or town or cleo
tion precinct in Illinois. They have not
had men to do the work or money to pay
tho expense. 1t is all bluff. 1t is the weak
est scheme Of a BOBBY and humbug cam
paign.
he entire Bryan campaign under Chair
man jones has been so weak as to invite
contempt. 1t has been a mass of political
boObyism not relieved by brilliant stroke
of Management, by conspicuous act of party
Integrity or by any manifestation OF honest
public spirit and patriotic zeal.

And he cont see through them, quite.

quires Of its supporters blind, unrcas-

But there, s,ranother explanation OF

| most men 80 Hovcr connection with n
political organization to which they
have given long allegiance, and no
other politicrl party in our history had
such strong, claims upon the loyalty of
its members as the republican party.
1t has great record. Grant that Il
has made mistakes still 1t has done
more than any other party for the
progress and prosperity Of the
nation. Before the advent of the
republican party our national
growth was slow: In the so-called
"bimetallic' times, when the money Of
the constitution" received full recogni-
ton, there was little Industrial develop
mont labor was poorly paid and the
people as a whole were not prosperous
In the three or four years before the
war, when the minis were open to gold
and silver on equal terms and we had
the nearest approach to free trade in
our history, the condition of the country
was deplorabe. Both the government
and the people were impoverished. and
so low was the public credit that money
could Eot be borrowed at Il less rate
of interest than II per cent. Those were
democratic times.
The republican party gave the country
a policy under which Industries were
rapidly developed, capital and popula-
ton were attracted To the country and
the condition Of the working classes
greatly improved. No one who will in
diligently read the history of the United
States during the thirty-two years from
1850 To 1S!,2 can question the wisdom
and the benpficcnt results of republican
legislation in promoting the material
development of the nation. Our grwth
in that period was the wonder of the
world, and so faithful was the repub-
lican party TO the maintenance Of the
public faith that the credit of the United
States attained higher standard than
at any previous time in it's history. 1t
has been distinctively the party of ma
tional upbuilding and national pros
pcrity.
Men who acted with the party during
this period are justly proud of its record
and of the fact that they had II share in
making that record. Such men cannot
feel mt home in another political organi-
cation. Some are lured away from time
to time, as WAS the case four years ago,
but they return. as they ala two years
later, after having discovered that they
were mislcd, Free silver is Il deluSive
scheme which cntrapped Il large num-
Der of republicans, but many have re-
turned to their former party allegiance
ana many more will do so before the
day of election arrives. 1t is safe to
say that the result of the election will
show that the detection of republicans
has been greatly exaggerated.

RErrRNING REPUBLICANS.

Reports from states where there has
been considerable detection of re
prblicans to the free silver cause say
that many of them are returning to
their old political affiliations. This is
said to be especially true as to farmers
who were republicans. though there are
also large numbers of workingmen who
were seduced by the free silver delu-
sion who have had an awakening and
will support the party of protection
and sound money. Thus it Is seen that
the campaign of education has been
effective with those people whose
minds were open to conviction, instead
of being closed and sealed against the
argument of facts and experience. The
farmer who has seen his products ris-
ing in value while the advocates of
free silver were telling him that he
could expect only decline under the
existing monetary standard would be
strangely constituted If he did not
doubt the legitimacy and soundness OF
the free silver contention. Likewise
the workingman, when he seriously re-
fleets upon the proposal TO take away
a large part of the purchasing power of
his earnings, without any assurance
that his wages will be increased, must
question whether that sort of policy
would improve his condition ana enable
him to better provide for the needs of
himself and family. And where a man
begins to doubt the wisdom and hon
esty of the free silver cause 1t is en-.
tirely safe to conclude he will drop It..
