Already the railroads and manu-
faoturers are cutting wages. The
daily papers are full of reports of
this kind. The laboring man will
soon see where he is Mt. Promises
made before the election don't
count with corporations.
We want the Democrats who
were faithful to the party to keep
together, for there is still work to
do. The longest lane has it's turn
ing.
Coercion and money we're the
prime factors in Mr.. Bryan's defeat.
A victory accomplished through
such agencies is short-lived and
will recoil on the victors.
Democrats should not be cast
down. We can not win all tho
time. However we gave our
opponents big scare and a close
shave.
Farmers will be rewarded for
their votes in the late election, by
still lower prices for their products.
a man who is too much of par
tisan to vote to better his condi-
ton. deserves no sympathy.
The President has issued his
thanksgiving proclamation. If he
feels thankful just now it is more
then great many others do.
However, we will try to be in the
right frame of mind by the Goth
of the month.
The latest reports from Fayetto
county say that II. g. Payne, the
colored orator, who was a candidate
for the Legislature on the Repub-
lican ticket, has been defeated.
Tho county gave Republican
IN ljority of about 1900. 1t shows
that the Republicans have no use
for the negro, but to vote him for
their ticket straight. When it
comes to voting FOR negro on their
ticket, they scratch him evory time.
We regret the defeat of Walter
Pendleton, Democratic candidate
for Congress, but are glad, as it
had to be Republican, that the
honors have again fallen upon the
shoulders of our warm personal
friend, Hon. Warren Miller. He
is good man and and a gentle
man, every inch of him, and the
only objection to him is his poll
tics.
The people of this whole coun-
try are to be congratulated on the
defeat of w. G. p. Breckenridge
for Congress-, in kentucky. Not
withstanding he was the seducer of
Miss Pollard, the Republicans and
Gold Bug Democrats nominated
him for Congress, but the people
spewed him out of their mouths.
Miss Pollard left tho country in
disgrace and now it is in order for
Breckenridge to go. No man or
woman tainted with lewdness will
ever rise in this world. Stamp a
woman once with that reputation
and she is dead, and only those
who are equals associate with her.
There is no other way to uphold
virtue in others than to keep in the
back ground of social life the
tainted.
OF all the railroads in the coun-
try, the Ohio River Railroad, under
tho management of Superintcnd-
ent Burt, is the only road that did
not attempt to coerce it en-
ployes into voting for Mckinley
or Palmer. Colonel Burt is to be
applauded for the manly stand he
took in defense of his employees,
against great pressure, declaring
that they should vote as they
pleased, and wear silver or gold
badges and join silver clubs or
gold clubs as they desired, and
should not be molested in their
rights, and threading discharge to
any officer, who attempted directly
or indirectly, to coorce an employee
into voting against his sentiments.
The Colonel was Sound Money"
advocate, but he had conscience
with it, All honor to him.
The reason that Ingersoll dis
likes silver is because the dollar
bears the inscription "In God we
trust" Ingersoll wont trust God,
