1t matters not whether we agree
with him or not, when a man, a noml-
nee Of great political party and a
representative OF a large per cent. of
the voters of the country, arises to
address body of American citizens,
common decency, TO cay nothing OF
courtesy, demands that he be given a
respectful hearing. The conduct of
the students OF Yale college in refus-
ing to allow Bryan to speak in New
Haven is condemned by all fair-minded
men everywhere. 1t is condemned rs
an outrage, and no one, at least no one
in the west, has attempted to Justify
it excepting the Guthrie State Capital.
In Saturdays issue it says:
Because the students in Yale col
lege object to being humbugged with
false theories, some people are in for
condemning the boys. II ought to be
set to their credit that they didn't
swallow Bryan with open-mouthed
wonder"
This squib Is low and contemplate
and unworthy of any paper that makes
any claims to respectabilitY. The
Capital was, less than two years ago,
almost as strong an advocate of silver
as Bryan, yet today he would deny
the right of free speech to a man who
advocates the cause of free silver.

A FRANTIC APPEAL

The New York World, powerful
anti-Bryan paper, makes frantic APP
peal to Mckinley in its issue of octo-
ber II says:
We call Mr. McKinley's attention to
three groups of states, all of which he
must carry. The first group is the
three states that together make the
Democratic key TO the presidency
New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cur These are Democratic states.
rhey can be carried for Mckinley only
by the votes of Democrats. The second
group contains four states-Delaware
Maryland, Wet Virginia and Ken
tucSy Tnete are also Democratic
states necessary TO Mr.. Mckinley.
The thiyd group-Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin-was carried by Mr. Cleve-
land.
MIR. Mckinley hopes to get these ten
states. He relies upon the public con-
science of their Democratic voters. He
has said that he admires these consci-
entious Democrats. But what has he
done to show that he appreciates their
sacrifices?
DO they not deserve some considera
tion?
They show the highest public spirit,
the noblest self-sacrifice They are
attached to their party. They believe
in its principles. in its usefulness
Yet they help into power not only al
odious party, but also a leader Of that
party who, as the extreme champion
Of an odious system OF taxation, is il
their eyes not without blame for th,
growth OF tariff rings and monopolies
In return for this they ask no offices
no patronage, no political honors
They make one simple condition.
And what is this condition? Merely
guarantee that Mckinley shall stanC
I for real popular self.government
Merely that he will enforce the laws
already upon the statute books; tha'
he will resist the aggressions of thos'
powerful and oppressive combinations
the corrupt trusts, syndicates, pools
and monopolies.
Could they conscientiously ask less
Is IL not palpAbly just? Is II not fol
the benefit of the whole people? Is i
not in the interest OF good govern
ment? Is 1t not vital TO the republic
| itself? Is 10 too much 10 ask OF Mr.
Mckinley an assurance such as MIR
Bryan gives when he says; "If by tn
suffrages Of my countrymen l an
placed in the highest position in th
gift Of sny people in the world, ever.
law shall be enforced against thl
great as well as against the small?'
What do you think about the trusts
Speak out, Mr.. Mckinley.
