DIDN'T CHANGE HIS NAME.
Bryan's Name Was Not O'Bryan Says
Man Who Knew Him.
To Editor Topeka State Journal.

To Editor Topeka State Journal
Wednesday you published a telegram
from Oregon that w. J. Bryan had
changed his name. What of it, if he
did?
AS a matter of fact. it is not true
For ten of the twelve years that S. L.
Bryan was on the bench of the Van
dalia, the former capital judicial dis
trict court, the writer was publisher of
&. newspaper in a neighboring district,
and the name was not only familiar,
but amOrg the most prominent in Hi
nOis, and it was Bryan always. Judge
Silas L. Bryan was the father of the
Democratic nominee for president.
1t might be added that the name has
been prominent among congressman
and judges for the past 100 years. The
list embraces no less than ten of this
name among those connected with our
national civil government in these
positions.
OF NIcKinleys, there are three re-
corded for similar positions.

A Sham Battle at Night.

The matter of raising more money
for the liquidation of probable Fall
Festival debts was briefly discussed
last night at the committee meeting by
Major Anderson.
He said: 7 met with the department
officers of the G. A. R. last evening and
they said they thought it could be ar
the nights of the week we could give
something a little extra and after re-
serving half the grand stand for the old
soldiers charge the other people for
seats in the other half. A sham battle
at night With fiambeau display and
electric lights ought to draw well for
one night and give US some money"

Under the above caption the New York
Journal, IL not the ablest, one of the
ablest newspapers In the world. in it's
issue of Monday in the following ring
ing editorial declares that it will support
the ticket nominated by the democrats
at Chicago:
"The manner in which the opponents
of the ticket nominated at Chicago have
begun their campaign must rouse the
profoundest resentment of every Ameri-
can regardful of the interests and jealous
of the honor of his country. The repre-
sentatives of half of the American peo-
pie have been denounced in delirious
language as anarchists. cutthroats and
swindlers. Their chosen candidate for
the highest office in the republic has
been pictured as a crazy Jacobin or q
designing demagogue. Commerce and in
dustry have been threatened with the
very panic these alarmists have profess
ed to fear.
This crusade has been one of reckless

THE PANIC BREEDERS.

In conspicuous lines the New York
World (Hessian) of the 18th instant says
that almost at the very hour of Bryan's
nomination at Chicago the gold reserve
of the treasury was being raided. and in
one day 1894, 300 in gold was with
drawn therefrom. That sheet attributes
this raid to the "distrust occasioned by
the platform and nomination at Chica-
60" This raid was to be expected. 1t
was gotten up for the occasion and to or
der for Influence upon the country, to
bulldoze and terrify the people. with
fears of panic. The surprising thing is
that the raiders did not go deeper into
the gold reserve What is this trifling
withdrawal of gold compared with many
that have been made in the last three
years and at times when all the gold
bugs in the land were droning their mo-
notonous refrain, 1.-THE free silver craze is
dead?"
These financial buccaneers will soon
learn, If they are capable of learning
anything, that their popgun panics have
no longer any terrors for the people. In
deed, the masses of this country, under
the present regime, have been brought
very near to the condition of the penni-
less traveller. who can afford to laugh in
the face of the highwayman. The money
mongers have left them little or nothing
that can be hurt by panics.
Two things are worthy of thought here.
The first Is that a financial system that
enables shylocks and money mongers to
raid the treasury, and use 1t as means
of overawing or influencing the people
in the adoption of policies and the seiec-
ton of their rulers. is vicious and dan
gerous in the extreme, and cannot be too
soon or too fully renowned and forever
abandoned. None worse or more perilous

Mr.. {. K. CAMPBELL
Says the Party Has Spoken and Loyal Men
Must Obey.

When asked about the democratic ticket
by State Herald reporter Mr.. E. X. Camp
bell, chairman of the democratic congress
sional committee in this district said
The democratic party has spoken. and
all loyal party men must submit to the will
of the majority. If the gold men had sue
the candidates they would have made that
plea to the silver men, 1t seems but reason
able to insist that there being no question
of moral right or wrong involved the in
dividual should sink his opinion in that Of
the majority. l would have preferred that
some of the utterances in the platform had
been different. l am not satisfied that some
of the views are not too far-reaching. but
be that as 1t may. will give to the ticket
my cordial support and will urge my friends
to do the same. The republican party has
never done anything to Intentionally benefit
the south, and 1t still stands, as 1t has al
ways stood, for GENERALIZATION and plutocra-
cy. Under no circumstances would sup
or indirectly by abstaining from voting. A
failure to vote is q half vote for Mckinley
and all which that implies, 1t seems to me-
If our party Is mistaken in its present posi-
ton, what Is to be gained by quitting 1t?
Certainly nothing, unless there be a better
party to go to, and we have never heard of
any better in this country. / do not believe
in leaving the old ship. From all we hear
about Mr.. Bryan 1t is safe to say he Ia able
fearless and honest. He is sincere in his
convictions and no one has a mortgage
him. cannot see why good men should not
vote for him and Mr.. Sewall."

The State Herald prints in another COLI
umn this morning a letter from Mr. Ma
bers, a populite of Morgan county, to
Mr. Brown. The letter speaks for itself.
1t announces the return home of anothen
democrat who had gone away from the
party. Mr.. Nabers had been a members
of the county populite committee of Nor
gan county for six years. He has CON-
siderable influence, and his return to the,
party means the coming of many more

THEY ARE UNDETERMINED.

A Washington special to the New York
Journal of Sunday says:
1.-THE administration leaders are still in
dazed condition. They were fully
prepared for free coinage platform. but
they have not decided what position
they shall assume toward 1t. None of
the men of influence who surround Presi-
dent Cleveland approves either the can
didate or the platform adopted at chi
cago. They do not hesitate in private
conversation to say so, but they are UNI
determined whether it were better to
nominate a second ticket representing
gold standard views or combine with the
republicans in support of Mckinley
Now amt that richness, and plenty
of it too, for any one who has been de-
Tending the democracy of this admins
tration? We are informed that they"
the men of influence who surround the
president-evidently his secretaries
"are undetermined whether it were bet
ter to nominate a second ticket repre-
senttng gold standard views or combine
with the republicans in support Of Nc
Kinley."
When before in the history of this
country has such contumacy occurred in
the very household of the administra-
ton? When before have the cabinet
officers of any administration been I'M
determined as to whether they would
support the platform and candidates Of
the party to which. they belonged? More
than this. When before has there been
occasion for suspicion in the minds of
the people who elected an administration
that it's head or any of its chosen officials
were so far reasonable to them that the
thought of giving support to their politi-
cal enemies could or would be tolerated
for one moment in the very precincts of
the White House?
Strange as this may seem, it is natural
and not unanticipated by the ordinary
observer of current events. When it Is
remembered that this administration has
been throughout in bitter antagonism to
the great leaders in congress of the
democratic party, when 1t is borne in
mind that It has persistently refused to
take any steps towards the redemption
of the pledges of the democratic plat
form of 1892, as they were construed
almost universally by the press and on
the stump during the campaign of that
year; when 1t is fresh In mind that the
president for more than three years. has
been bending all his personal energies

the democratic party to embrace finan-
cial heresies to which the republican
party has always been committed by it's
legislation and executive policy, and
which it has finally adopted as an es-
sential and fundamental doctrine-a
doctrine which the great majority Of the
democratic party and their leaders have
constantly and vehemently protested
against, and which the greatest and
most representative convention in the
history of the party has most positively
and emphatically repudiated and de-
nounced--when these things are remem-
bered it Is no wonder that the chosen
servant of the people and his underlings
should be found with their faces turned
towards the camp of the enemy, ready,

can be devised or substituted for it. The
second is that if the Worlds surmise is
correct the plunderers of the treasury
themselves are convinced by what was
said and done and foreshadowed at Chi
cago that their lease for looting the
treasury is fast coming to an end, and
they are now trying to clean it out while
they still have friends inside to unlock
its vaults at their tender merces.

upon WHAT HAVE THEY DIETEDp

After the nomination had been made
in 1890 Kolb offered his services to stump
the state for the nominees. Upon going
upon the stump under the auspices of the
state campaign committee Kolb saw fit
to engage in criticisms of the actions of
the state convention that made the nomi-
nees he had been sent out to support.
A howl of just indignation went up from
the Advertiser, and the same was taken
up throughout the state. The result was
that Kolb was not sent out by the COM
mittee any more and virtually retired
from the campaign, and properly so, too.
On what meat do these Caesars of today
feed that they are permitted to renounce
not only the state, but the national par
ty platform as well, and still go forth as
agents of the party ON the stump.
