WHOSE LIQUOR?

Last Monday was salesday for Septem-
ber, and although there were no auction
sales of Importance, there was an unus-
ually large crowd in town. 1t was COM
posed of few politicians and large
number of horsetraders.
The most noticeable feature of the day
was the large quantity of liquor afioat.
To say that there has never been seen
here so much liquor on salesday since
barroom days, would hardly be fair, for
such things are difficult to remember and
would be hard to prove; but there GER
tainly was great deal of drunkenness.
The reporter had occasion several times
to 60 down street. In the morning, of
course, it was not so bad; but as the after
noon progressed, drunk men grew num-
erous. The first evidence Of spirits was
in the racing of horses up and down the
streets. After a while this amusement
grew rather tame, and the riders began to
elaborate their performances with dis
graceful shouts. This was kept up until
a late hour.
But riding and shouting was not the
only way that liquor was put in evidence.
Along about o'clock and later, several
old stagers whose capacity is generally
supposed to be beyond limit, were to be
cen stretched out in the back lots. and at
ark there were sew veral in the courthouse
yard. 1t was evident that liquor was
not only plentiful; but it was free. OF
this fact there is little reason to doubt.
Among those who were past going, were
several who could never have gotten that
way had they been called on to furnish
the means themselves.
On Tuesday the reporter began to make
inquiry as to where the liquor came from.
1t was not long before he had the propo-
sition settled that most Of it came from
the dispensary. Next he got hold of a
story from reliable source to the effect
that it was "Evans liquor" Working on
this still further, he was finally told that
a wellk nown politician, who is known
as supporter of Governor Evans, had
sent to the dispensary and broughta large
quantity of liquor which was distributed
free in the interest of. the governor.
Whether the liquor was bought with the
money of the governor or the politician,
must be left for Inference but as a point
er, the reporter will suggest that this
special politician has not got the reputa-
ton of doing such things at his own
expense.

The Republican campaign managers
are rejoicing greatly over the result OF
the state election in Vermont last week.
The majority of the Republicans over
the Democrats was 4O,O93, the largest ever
known. 1t is difficult, however, to see
any significance in such a vote. Before
the Chicago convention was held the
Vermont Democrats had endorsed Cleve-
land and the gold standard. The free
coinage of silver had not been discussed
at all, and was not an Issue in the state.
The fact that the Republicans carried the
state by such an increased majority,
under the circumstances, is certainly no
cause for discouragement to the Demo-
Gratis. -

MONEY FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
Remarkable Proposition From Remark
able Newspaper.


able Newspaper.
When the Republican convention
announced itself in favor of the single
gold standard it doubtless knew that
it was adopting profoundly unpopu-
lar policy, but it believed that by u
vigorous campaign, with unlimited
means, this unpopularity might be
overcome. And it had the assurance
that the resources for such campaign
would he forthcoming.
Never in the history of American
politics has there been such a discre-
pancy in the means at the disposal of
two contending parties as now. The
Republican party has enlisted the SER
vices of almost all the holders of ac-
cumulated wealth in the country.
From this point of view these gentle
men see nothing but national ruin as
the result of the adoption of fres
silver policy, and naturally they are
willing to contribute literally to avert
such calamity. The result is that
the country is flooded with "sound
money" documents, designed to con.
vince the voter that bimetallism would
reduce the independent American citi-
zen to the level of the Chinese coolie
and the Mexican peon.
To equal the great fund at the COM
mand of Mr.. Hanna, the Democratic
party cannot attempt-but, what is
better, it need not attempt it. 1t has
with it no multi-millionaires, no great
trusts and enormous corporations, but
it has the advantage of favorable
popular sentiment which relieves it Of
the necessity for lavish expenditures.
1t is perfectly safe to say that when
the Democratic party can fight this
campaign with less money than it had
ever at its disposal in a national CAM
paign before. But it is necessary to
say that even in campaign of volun-
teers, for campaign which has 80
stirred the hearts of the people that
money is little needed, the national
committee is all too ill-equipped for
funds.
The gold side of the great debate
now pending will be presented with
all the force which unlimited talent,
backed by unlimited means, can COM
mand. For wise decision the silver
side ought to be equally we'll present.
ed. If, after full discussion, the Amer
lean people should decide that the St.
Louis platform had stated the true
financial doctrine, the decision would
be entitled to all respect, but if judg-
ment should be entered without an op.
portunity for fair consideration, the
fact would be national misfortune.
If this is to be campaign of educa-
tion, in the true sense, the instruction
must not be one-sided.
The Journal feels that the meagre
fund within reach of the Democratic
managers ought to be increased, and
that every citizen who desires an en-
lightened national verdict in Novem-
ber ought to have an opportunity to
contribute to it. To make such con-
tributions as easy and convenient as
possible, the Journal will hereafter re-
ceive and account for all subscriptions
to the campaign fund that may be en-
trusted to it. And in order to start
the current of popular contributions,
the Journal, until further notice, will
give dollar of its own for every dol.

who will not take you into his conf

can get you to take him into your

an indication that Mr.. Bryan has rea.
son to believe that the great "I-am-a-
Democrat" does not propose to stand
by the Democratic platform.

circular urging Reformers to vote for John

week, was written by Senator Tillman.
Larry Gannt, an enthusiastic supporter

- Senator Tillman published another
letter last Sunday. 1t is in defense of his
first and contained several contradictory
statements. 1t is really in the nature of a
hedge, and seems to indicate that the
senator is beginning to realize that he is
in hot water.

Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer !;
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
mails failing to arrest Its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
SO cents a year, and its circulation
increased by the addition Of over
400, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers }.
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. Bv.
maintaining the price of the paper.
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
!. Enquirer BY the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management.
to serve it faithfully with zeal and a..
terprise in minor matters as wen q
those of greater magnitude.
