Illinois viii Lead Fight Against it at

Michigan May Figure as Pivotal State In
the Contest-vice President Stevenson
in Chicago But No One Notices Him.
Chicago, July 1.-The subcommittee
of the national committee on arrange
ments met this afternoon in private ses-
sion. Chairman Harrity presided
Sargeant-at-Arms Martin reported on the
appointments, He has made the appoint
ment Of door keepers free from political
entanglements which was approved. A
delegation from the bi-metallists was be-
fore the subcommittee, regarding the
issuing of tickets to the delegates on
temporary organization, etc. The COM
mlttee listened courteously to all that
was said, but did not commit itself on
any point. Harrity when questioned
after the conference, said: ''The delega-
tion made certain enquiries as to the
procedure of the national committee
affecting the temporary organization and
contests and tickets. We referred the
gentlemen as to contests, to the record
OF former comm ittees. The action of the
Illinois delegationEin determining to lead
the attack for the abolition of the two-
thirds rule, was a fruitful topic of dis
oussion at the bimetallio headquarters to-
day, and during the day it developed
that Gov. Altgeld's scheme was In
danger from an unexpected source, and
that Michigan rather than Illinois,
might become the pivotal state and
WELD this balance of power in the con-
vention. The situation in the Wolverine
state is that while fourteen of the twenty
six delegates are siiverites, the delegation
is instructed for the gold standard and
unit rule 1t is proposed to precipitate a
fight On the enforcement of this rule in
advance of any action on the two o-thirds
issue. In event of the unit rule being
declared invalid there would be no neces-
sity for the substitution of the majority
vote for the two-thirds vote for the silver
votes of the Wolverine state would give
that side ths necessary nominating ma
jority, and one or two to spare This
suggestion, exploited by the Michigan
delegates, was not received with especial
enthusiasm by Gov. Altgeld Part O (
the plan OF the Michigan silver men is
TO go before the committe on credentials

wing of the state delegates on the ground

ITHAS CHANGED,

BY IL, we mean the esteemed Hart
ford Herald. Our beloved contemS
porary is straining its whole energies
towards the election of Bryan and the
success of free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of Is to l In
looking over some editorials clipped
from past issues of our neigbbor, we
fell upon enc entitled, "a word to
the Press of Louisville " This was
in its issue Of September 1, 1895.
In that editorial the Herald makes
this interesting remark;
1.-THE Herald has never Joined in
the demand so widely reported for the
free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at the ratio OF 10 to /,
because toe have neuer. been convinced,
that Ibis law would remedy the evils
,chich Ce kn@o TO erist. I'we thought
as many of tIe best men in kentucky do
think, that the evit could be ertirpated,
IRE 'hould hare no hesitancy in taking up
hefght for silcer."
What confidence can be restored in
paper which one year ago was not
for free coinage, but is now scream.
ing with all its power for free coin
age? Was the H,rold right in 1895,
or is il right in 1896?
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1896-10-30

BEroRE this paper Is Issued again
the election will have come and gone,
the people will have passed on an i'm
portant question, one that perhaps
will rule the country for years. 1t
is yet time to study the question
and vote inteIligently. The welfare
OF the country is at stake, the life and
the liberty Of those who are near and
dear to you are brought directly to
the front in this fight. Free silver,
free riot and the suppression of free
speech, have been the battle cry of
the Bryanites throughout this CAM
pa,gn, and should that party be sue
cessful we may expect all these things
to be carried into effect. Mr.. Bryan
says il we have free silver we will
have a panic; Mr.. Mckinley says if
We car get this question settled right,
the workshops will be opened and
prosperous times will certainly follow.
Which do we want? That is the
questions. There are only two ques-
tons to be decided. II you want less
work aud less pay, vote for Bryan,
but if you want more work, better
prices and chance to make an hon>
est living vote the Republican ticket.
The country was prosperous until this
same Democratic party debauched it,
and if the Republican party is sue
cesstul in this struggle we will again
have a prosperous and united people.
If Bryan is elected we will have
wide spread panic, disaster and dire
want. Our workshops will be closed,
our wives and children will 60 half
starved, and, as the free silver leaders
say, the tide LIBERALIZATION will be set
back twenty years. Vote intelligent
ly; vote for home, vote for your home
people. but for Gods sake don't vote
to enrich the greatest trust in the
world-the silver trust. Vote the
ticket, 60 home, kiss
your loved ones, and ask blessing
from Him who rules the universe for
guiding you right IN this matter.

About as transparent and stupid a
lie as the Popocrats have invented
during the present campaign Is being
asserted in the speeches oiGov Mat
thews. OF Indiana, and the lesser
Hoosier politicians of the free. coinage
faith. 1t Is that President Grant did
not know what he was doing when
he signed the act OF 1873, which
dropped the silver dollar from the
coinage. Aside from the fact that
the great General and statesman, un.
like the financial political gymnast,
Claude Matthews, not only knew at
all times just what he was doing. but
also why he was doing it, it is hard.
ly possible that Matthews was ever
so intimate with him as to be inform.
ed Of any exception to this rule, II
any had occurred.
The assertion that the act of 1873
was passed secretly. when it was de.
bated through two successive Con
crosses; that It demonetized the sill.
yer dollars when there were none in
circulation to demouet,ze. and when
there is not a word in the act which
could dsmonetize them; aul, n,ily.
that President Grant. who signed the
act, would give his signature to
law of the nature of which he was ig.
norant, are a series of nisrepresenta
tons so apparent and stupid thlt any
public man who utters them stamps
himself as eithera fool or liar.-[Ey

Obituary.

Death Is terrible, although 1t Is the
door to the christians perfect life,
none the less 1t Is dreaded; II 1t be the
old or the weak that die there Is sor
row, but If it be the young, the beau
tiful aud the good, how hard II seems,
how almost wrong. yet in time we
hear the soft whispers, 1t is well.
Such grief was ielt in this communl-
ty when II was known that Isaac
Daniel. the son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. d.
Diniel, was dead. Isaac was born
June FL. 1876, and died September ID,
1896 He only lived eleven days af-
ter he took sick. In his last hours
he told his mother all was we'll with
him His funeral was preached by
Rev, B. +, Jenkins at Bells Run
Church on the day following his
death and his remains laid to rest In
the presence of a large congregation
of relatives aud friends. No man can
say but what Ike was a good boy; no
wonder the dear mother looks broken
hearted and the tears steal sadly from
the fathers eyes when he talks OF
him and how lonesome his brothers
and sisters are. Their home Is DESC

has had a poll made three times with

rect communication with every pre-
cinct nearly every day. Voter, if

of the first results of this dangerous
doctrine. I do not believe those ruff
fans were acting under instructions
from the free silver leader, but they
were merely putting into practice the
idea OF their leaders. The inevitable
result of uncomfortable freedom is the
worst sort OF prescription. Unbti-
died license means lawlessness.
Mr.. Bryan teaches that the gold
standard men are enemies to man
kind. He instills into the minds Of
his hearers the idea that the people
of this great Republic are divided in
to classes and that there is great
gulf between them and that there is
a great part OF our population ground
down under the heel OF a desper-
ate tyrant as worthless and as heart
less as the aristocracy Of wealth and

French people but on the days of their
bloody revolution, when such muir.
derous exercises were INDUCED in by

He plays upon the passions arous.

and desolatois. Excuses in revolu-
tionary times are committed by the
hot headed, the reckless and the vi.
cious, blinded by passion or igno-
rance, they magnify their fanced or
real wrongs.
According to Mr.. Bryan Mr. Car
Isle is an enemy humankind, traitor
to his country. Senator Tillnian and
Gov. Altgeld both expresses Mr..
Bryau's theories in even more, but
worse language, aud Nj, Blackburn,
would not quote him without utter
auces from leaders, It is not surpris-
ing that people will attempt to wreck
vengence on the authors of all their
troubles 1ery day to Mr., Bryan, and
