Editors Out Of Sorts

The expression on the faces of Allen
Bragg. Nate Hummell and Patterson
the Rustler as they left the
Central Committee rooms last Mon
day, would have melted the hearts of
"A cobble stone. The Republican
editors fully expected that a large
wad Of Hanna's campaign money
would be placed before them with the
compliments Of the Committee, bnt
the treasurer reported d~olefully that
the check had not been received up to
date. After the singing of a short
funeral hymn. the Committee ad-
journed.
Still these unfortunate scrihes, who
support the Mckinley outfit in the
hope OF d Hanna reward are Io worse
off than the pOverty-stricken Silver
editors, who also get nothing for the
campaign, except the lambient hued
glory Of lah0riDg for q righteous
cause, which to all intents and pur-
poses is better than serving the devil
in the hope OF Il fee and getting left
on he home stretch. The Purity of
Election Law IS a mighty saving in
stitution for the candidates, but it
produces a hollow feeling in the
stomach of We editor.

BACK FROM THE EAST.

of his trip:
Cali over the country one finds
nothing but politics talked of every

it is politics from the moment you

came beneath my notice the Bryan
vote was in excess Of MrKinleys. The

The Central City Stove Works at Ne
wark, Ohio, which employs several hun
dred men, instead OF c~oercing its employees
at the request of Mr.. Hanna, posted the
following bulletin at the works.
TO EMPLOYEES.
Notice is hereby given that in case of
the election of William J. BRYAN as Presi-
dent of the United States on November ;,
1896, this company will Immediately

partment an advance of 10 per cent in
their wages.
G, w. C~UNNINGHAM,
President.
Nh. Cunningham saws nearly all his en-
ployes have been lifelong Republicans,
but are now for BRYAN and free silver. The
company believing implicitly in the ad-
vantages free silver would give manu-
features in putting men to work, restoring
prosperity and giving men money with
which to buy, is willing to share its pros
perity with its men.
Business depression under the gold
standard has caused a decline of over 90
per cent in the age of employees and
they are satisfied nothing but free coinage
will E to c VICES.
J. H. Millander, who owns factories at
I1igeinsport, Ohio, and al Ceredo, West
Virginia, and employs a great many men
at both places says he will advance the
wages Io per ceht if Br, an is elected.
He believes it to be for the best interests
of the country to open the minis to silver
as it will give the people money where
