Without Precedent.

II it he true that God helps those
who help themselves, then should aIr.
Bryan be viewed rs Il man especially
entitled to Proyiden,ial aid. He
stands alone, not only a. man in Il
thousand, but is hero among mil
lions of his admiriog countrymcn.
Since starting from his home for
the Chicago Convention which nnmi-
mated him he has Travelled more than
ten thousand miles in his tours through
the Atlantic, Middle and Western
States, and by actual count he has de-
livered about 800 addresses from the
rostrum, the hotel balcony and rail
road car platform. Up to the time of
election day, his friends say he will
have made over 500 speeches. Now
this is without precedent or parallel in
the annals of our political history,
and if Mr.. Bryan is elected, it will be
not only because OF the electoral votes
he receives, but literally and in a
great measure by the sweat of his
brow.
While Mr.. Bryan has been thus
laboring among the people as no Pres
idential candidate ever labored before,
Mr.. Mckinley has been suavely talk
ing goody-goody talk to a few syco-
plants gathered in his front door-yard;
receiving and acknowledging by tally
speeches the boquets brought to him
by ladies possessed of more vanity
than discretion; smiling and shaking
hands, with all the ct ceteras COM
mon to such occasions. All this he
has done and is doing, but not once
has he launched himself into the
rough-and-tumble of the great battle
his friends are fighting for him; not a
mile has he Travelled to tell the waiting
multitudes what an honest candidate
SuOuIu tell tnem.
While Bryan is living epistle,
read and heard by all men, Mckinley
is the veriest mystery OF mysteries
even to his familiar friends. So true
is this that nobody yet knows the
position he occupies in regard to the
great questions of the day; issues in.
deed that are trying the souls of men
and convulsing the nation from CEN
ter to circumference. As one OF his
disguised adherents said the other
day, "Why don't he git up and git,
like Bryan does?" Yes, that's the
question, exactly, uncouthly though
honestly propounded by a candid
voter.
1t has already been intimated that
if Bryan is elected it will be on &C
count of the votes he wins by his
herculean efforts in the race, and it
might just as truthfully be said that
if Nc Kinley is defeated, it will be on
account OF the votes he loses by his
criminal inactivity and supineness.
While Bryan stands before the peo-
pie to-day, wonder to himself and a
marvel to his enemies, it is with no
little concern that his friends predict
that he will be will be a fit subject
for hospital recuperation at the close
OF his laborious campaign. From all
accounts, Mckinley, on the contrary,
is evidently having a soft thing on
his veranda at Canton, but the sequel
will show that obsequious men, fawn-
ing women and roses are not the best
things to prepare him for the grave
responsibilities that await him should
he, by hook or by crook, be elected.

that the ruffianism is censured by

Yale, in letter to that paper, says
Z" The only anarchists Mr.. Bryan has

PARTYIsM VS.. BUsINEss.-It has
been proposed by one of the business
firms of this city to organize gold
bug committee of business men" to
60 out into the country along with the
glee club to educate the farmer up to
his duty of supporting the sound
dollar. We snxiously await the result.
Why bless your soul! There is not a
farmer in the county but who can
give better reasons for support of his
belief in free coinage than the shop
keeper can for support of the gold
standard, and if there is disposition
to bulldoze in any way, but who can
give Roland for an Oliver" in trade
or politics. Business men, if they
want to hold the little trade that is
left, should be rather "shy" about
running it up against wall of ada
mant.

The s. P. h. D.

About a score of young ladies in the
city OF New York have formed them
selves into solemn compact which
they have christened " The Society for
the Prevention OF Hereditary Dis
eases" The iron-clad pledge they
take upon themselves is couched in
the following terms: 1--WE, each,
voluntarily pledge ourselves not to
enter into any matrimonial alliance
with any person whose family is sub
ject to such hereditary diseases as
consumption, insanity, or the appe-
tite for strong drink"
One dear, loving young creature has
broken her pledge, with her eyes wide
open, by having married young man
considered by the society as contra
band goods, and her picture has been
draped in mourning by the other
members OF the society.
If such society could be we'll sus-
tanned, it would certainly be a hopeful
forerunner of the millennium, and
If twenty manageable young women
OF the capital city would inaugurate
such q society, their names would
go booming down the corridors of
time, for it would certainly be dupli-
Gated all over the State.
The New York girls have taken a
step in the right direction and one far
in advance of all other so.called re-
formatory efforts undertaken by older
heads.

Gives It Up.
The New York ssWOrId'' COnced s
the Election OF Bryan.

the Election OF Bryan.
The New York World, which has
made bitter fight on Bryan, sent a
large corps Of men into the States re-
garded as doubtful to study the situa-
ton regarding the fusion of the silver
forces. The World sums up its con-
illusions in the following statement:
Fusion has, to a reasonable certainty,
added Alabama, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Carolina and Tennessee ifty-t
electoral votes-to the forty-siX electoral
votes of Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho,
Mississippi, Montana, South Carolina,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming, that
were already assumed to be reasonably
safe for silver. 1t has, presumably,
given 10000 Popuist votes in Illinois,
-, 900 in Indiana, 80, 900 in Iowa, 1000
in Kentucky, 10000 in Missouri, $4,000
in Minnesota towards making good the
losses from the detection of sound
money Democrats and toward swelling
the accessions of free silver Republic
cans.
In brief, fusion has made it necessary
that there shall be enormous Demo-
cratic detection from the free silver
ticket if Mr.. Mckinley is to have even
respectable majority of the electoral
votes. For even if he gets every State
east OF the Mississippi and north Of the
Ohio and Potomac, which includes
Delaware and Maryland, and gets West
Virginia also, he still need two votes to
make the necessary maj GRITTY.
A Chicago dispatch of the 9th says !:
Mark Hanna has thrown up his hands.
He admits that he is not sure that
Mckinley will be elected. The labor
vote, he is now convinced, will 60 al

tie, if any, faith in the election of Nc
Kinley," Hanna is automatically re-
ported to have said, and" he contin-
ued, "no matter what we do or say 10
the laboring men. Debs and other
leaders have been so we'll organized and
instructed that when they get inside
the booths they will vote as they
please"
These remarks were made by Mr..
Hanna in confidence to prominent
Chicagoan in the presence and hear
ing OF two other friends. One OF these
friends happened to be the wife OF q
well-known political leader of Indiana,
who is espousing the cause OF Bryan and
free silver. Her name it withheld for
the reason that many of her social ac-
quaintances in this city and In
dianapolis are working in Mckinley 8
interest.

Is IT KNOWN YET?-Not long since,
on public street in Olympia, in the
presence OF several persons, Mr..
Scobey OF the Olympidm, was heard to
declare that he would know whether
Messrs. Lane, Linn and Mead, Re.
publican candidates for the Legisla-
ture, would, in the event of their cleo
ton, vote for John H. McGraw for U.
S. Senator, and if they would. he
(Scobey) would not vote for one of
them. Has he ascertained yet and
will he inform the public? There are
other Republicans beside Mr.. Scobey
who would like to know: 1st, Will
either of said men, if elected, vote for
John II. McGraw for u. S. Senator?
I'd, Will either OF said men, if elected,
consent to 60 into caucus for u. S.
Senator, McGraw being a candidate,
and be bound by the action OF said
caucus? The people cannot vote d.
rectly for U. S. Senator, but must
do it through their Senators and Rep.
resentatives in the Legislature. And
when there is candidate announced
prior TO the State election, it is the
right of the people to know whether
their representatives will or will not
vote for said candidate. If the candi-
dates for the Legislature refuse, or
have not the courage to answer these
questions, the people have a right to
conclude that they will either vote
for said candidate or that at least
some OF their constituents will be
deceived. So gentlemen, speak up.

swer,

Generally Observed-A Republican Parade
to Close the Campaign.
Pittsburg, Pa, October 3l.-Flag day
was inaugurated successfully here to-
day. and the city has seldom been as
profusely decorated with Old Glory.
Republicans and Democrats alike gave
evidence of their loyalty and hundreds
of thousands of fags are floating from
residences and business houses.
The Republicans took advantage of
the day by having a monster parade
participated in by marchers variously
estimated at from 10000 to 10000 men.
The procession looked to be about five
miles long and took several hours in
passing a given point. The line was
made up of marching clubs and repre-
sentatives of the many industrial es-
adjustments and unorganiZed bodies
of citizens Many handsome and hui
morous floats were the features.

DON'T DO IT.

An effort is being made to induce Judge
Hugus. of the Criminal Court TO issue
naturalization papers on Monday and
Tuesday. The Register hopes Judge HUI
gus will not consent to assume jurisdic-
ton i'm this matter. because his acts
would be invalid and there is no necessity
for it. as we have a competent circuit
Judge resident here. in whom all parties
have implicit confidence.
The Judge of the Criminal Court has no
jurisdiction in matters of naturalization.
This Court has no power whatever excopt
that given by statute. The only Court
that has Jurisdiction to naturalize citi-
zens is a court of common law jurisdiction.
and the Criminal Court of Ohio county is
not such a Court. Reference to the Fed
eral statute will verify this.
