Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1896-09-16

almost every evening.
BRYAN promises if elected to 10
away with the National Banks and
the whole financial system under
which the nation ia now working.
What he and his friends will set up
to take the place of the syetsra TO be
torn down, has not been revealed.
ONE of the funniest features of the
present campaign and well ca!culat-
cd to cstch suckers and envious and
jealous people, and people ont of
work and poor people, Is the one that
the Bryan people use, namely, de-
nunciation of every rich man and mil
lionaire. They dencuuce the rich
and declare that the Bryan party are
the poor peoples friend, which is all
funny enough in the light OF the fact
that they have millionaire on their
ticket for Vice President. SeHall il
@ millionaire. So vixen thsy de-
nounce the millioDai,es, they de-
nounce their own ticket. They are
funny people.
THREE years ago the democrats
were denouncing the republicans for
passing law of Congress-, requiring
che Government to Bdy S4,500,G00
silver evory month, and three yeaTs
ago President Cleveland had an ex
ira session of Congress called to re-
peal the republican silver law, be-
cause ne said the issue of that much
silver made the times hard Sse the
change: Within the past three years
since the repeal OF the silver law by
the democrats, the democrats have
changed and now are asking for O
free coinage law that will Opsn the
mints to the coinage Of silver from
any and every part of the world.
Why were the democrats against sill
yer three years ago and in favor Of i.
now.
The revolutionary wing Of the
demOcratio party OF Pennsylvania.
met in convention at Harrisburg last
Thursday and undid al! that was
done by the democratic State con.
vention that met at Allentown last
April, and wherever one of the dele
gates of the Allentown convention
turned up in the Harrisburg conven-
ton and professed to believe what he
said at Allentown last April, ard re-
fused to take back Whist he said al
Allentown, he was promptly refused
a seat in the Harrisburg convention.
1t was run by the same methods that
prevailed in the Chicago Convention
that nominated Bryan. Garman was
an apt scholar il his boyhoo1 days,
aud when he this summer learned
revolutionary methods in tie Chicago
Bryan convention, be applied them
among the democrats at Harrisburg
last week.
The democratic State Convention
at Harrisburg last week, made short
work of the Jeffersonian democrats.
1t ruled the Jeffersonian democrats
out, and put Bryan democrats in
their place and set aside the platform
that WAS adopted by the democratic
State Convention in April. What
must the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party think OF its two conven-
tions held only three months apart,
pulling in opposite directions. The
one party is working for Palmer and
Buckner for President and Vice
President on u platform for sound
money and the Wilson tariff law
The other party is working for Bry
an for President and Watson and
Sewall for Vice Presidents, on plat
form for free silver, the Wilson tariff
law and the old doctrine of STATE
rights by which the Southern States
in 1860, organized rebellion in the III
terest Of slavery. Reader, as you va!
lie your own best interests, whick are
involved in the general good, don't
vote either ticket OF the divided dem
ocracy. The men who the democ
racy put into office to conduct the Of
fairs of the Nation are not competent
to manage the business of the Gov.
ernment. They may believe the,
are competent, but believing and be
ing ars different things. For an il
lustra;ion the Miffliutown Cannery
Company believed they were compe
tent to conduct q cauuery and in all
probability there is here and there &
man in the company, who if they had
the management of the concern could
have made it go. Bat taken as 4
Company it was failure; roaring
business farce, and all the belief t.
the contrary Can put no other fsct
upOn il. So 1t is with the democratic
party. 1t is not competent to man
