with the distrust that hangs over the

The populist, anarchistic, silverite-
democratic convention after adopting
a disgraceful platform with scarcely a
single paragraph worthy Of acceptance
evolved for a presidential ticket W.
j. Bryan Of Nebraska and Arthur
Sewall of Maine. Bryan is a young
man of Sc, noted as sophomore ora
tor; was elected to Congress in 1890
and in 1892 but was defeated in 1894.
For the past two years or more he has
trained with the populists of the West.
His strong point with the wild.eyed
convention that nominated him was his
devotion to silver and the theories of
populism and anarchy that naturally
go with it.
Sewall is Bath ship builder and
for years has been interested in Maine
railroads; is said to be something of a
protectionist and is opposed to free
ships, favorite democratic doctrine,
but is sound for rotten money. He is
also millionaire bond-holder and OF
course is friend OF the laboring man
and we may expect to see labor clubs
organized in his interest at once(D.

No Anarchy in This.

Mai. Mckinley is receiving daily
at his Canton home scores of visitors
many of whom come in large bodies.
To these he is obliged to make brief
speeches. From one of these we make
the following extract:
"My fellow citizens, recent events
have imposed upon the patriotic people
of this country a responsibility and a
duty greater than any since the civil
war. Then it was struggle to pre-
serve the government of the United
States. Now it is a struggle TO pre-
serve the financial honor of the govern
ment of the United States. Cries Of
yes and applause. ] Then it was a
contest to save the Union. Now it is
contest to save spotless its credit
TGreat applause. ] Then section was
arrayed against section. Now men Of
all sections can unite, and will unite,
TO rebuke the reputation of our OBJ
legations and the debasement of oul
currency. Applause.
'In this contest patriotism is above
any party and national honor is above
any party name. The currency and
credit OF the government are good now
and must be kept good forever. Our
trouble is not with the character of the
money we have, but with the threat to
debase it. We have the same currency
we had in 1892, good the world over

Of Cod-liver Oil, with the Hy-

1t is a body-builder. 1t is
the essence of the elements
and principles that feed, nour-

puts back the lost flesh.
Hence its brilliant results in
cases of anaemia, bronchitis,
chronic gastric and intestinal
disorders and consumption.
The oil (easily digested and
assimilated) forms flesh and

notes the growth of bone. 1t

Twftting on Facts.

The leading Grout daily in the late
canvass is firing the hearts of Vermont
republicans by publishing glowing re-
ports of what Chairman Merrill is
doing, or is purposing to do, In the
pending campaign. Chairman Mer-
rill is persona non grata to the ma
jority of the republicans of the state.
At the head of the party political ma
chinery, he employed it in the interest
of Josiah Grout, and the advantage
that candidate derived from the tips
information and personal efforts of GER
tain of the members of that body, and
particularly its chairman, contributed
decisively to his nomination. The
chairman was the active partisan OF
Major Circuit. He expressed his de-
termination to secure that candidate s
nomination at this time, and was gra-
ciously conserving to Mr. Stickney's
candidature when his turn should
come. Morally he is not in position
to WELD an inspiring influence upon
the great body of republicans who
must be rallied at the polls in Septem-
Der to insure sweeping majority. Il
is conceded that Mr.. Stickney's nomi.
nation would have added several TIL us
and votes to the September majority.
The best way to cure the mischief now
is to put the management OF the can,
vass into the hands, not OF a particeps
| criminis in the late unfortunate affair
at Burlington, but into the hands Of
some competent person whose appeals
and suggestions will not repel co opera
ton, but will carry moral weight as
well as magnetic rallying power

The most prominent element in The
above is the truth Of it. The Leader
during the five years of its existence
has not been in the habit of showing
a great amount Of interest in state
politics. 1t did go into the recent
campaign. 1t was for Stckney from
start to finish and felt pretty sore
when its candidate was beaten, but i
could have taken defeat with mucl
b tier grace II DIN Merrill had been
taken off from the republican STATE
committee. Ii next September thu

horizon than it has been in any re
