sue and then vote as their knowledge
directs. His is a brave, frank. ra-
tional, a manly and a truly American
appeal.
Bryan speaks for the welfare of the
industrious many; Mckinley for the
welfare of the opulent few.
Is there a thoughtful man in the
whole United States who does not
know that the greatest danger which
is threatening this republic is the
steadily growing power of conscience

full man feel that unless the grip of
wealth upon our government shall be
loosened we must ultimately have a
republic in name and an oligarchy in
fact?

men think the single gold standard a
potent cause of our industrial distress /;
gold men think that bimetallism would

THE VITAL POINT.
Shall We Vote for Government by mes
or a Government by Money!

or q Government BY money!
The American people will soon go
to the polls and decide the issues that
are now dividing them. The most coz
spicuous of these issues, the one about
which there is more writing and talk
ing than about all others, is the money
question. But important as that ques-
ton is, there is another of intellectually
deeper moment to this republic. The
supreme issue before the republic is:
Shall this nation be ruled by its
money or it's men?
On the one side we have Mckinley,
backed by the concentrated wealth of
the country Every trust on which
class legislation in the interest of the
rich and influential confers the privi-
lege of taxing the masses for private
profit: every syndicate that has made,
or hopes to make, millions by raiding
the treasury of the United States:
every combination OF capital that sees
gain to itself in the contraction of the
currency; every rich man who has
come to think that the government
should be run for the benefit of him.
self and others like him-every one
of these elements is striving for the sue
cess of the republican candidate. The
accumulated wealth of the country is
working by every means, fair and foul.
for the election of Mckinley.
On the other side we have Bryan,
whose only strength is his cause and
l. l. L
people on the principles for which he
stands. He asks no quarter from the
trusts. He defies selfish wealth and
challenges it to exert to the utmost its
power to corrupt, to coerce and to con-
fuse the issue by controlling the voice
of the press. He begs for no man s
vote who does not think it best for the
country to give it to him. He urges

one of them, strongly bimetallic, and
there is not any reason to doubt but
that every one of them will help the
democratic ticket on it's road to VIC
tory.
Two things will be observed in the
list that are striking. The one thing
is that, contrary to all presidents in
such cases, claim Is not made for the
full 224 votes which constitute major
ity of the electoral college vote; and the
other thing is that not one of the big
states of New York, Ohio, Illinois or
Indiana is claimed, although the com
mittee has good reason to believe that
all of the three last named will go for
Bryan.
The 26 states included in the above
table are to be supplemented by the
other four states, of Delaware with
three votes, Maryland with eight votes,
Minnesota with nine votes; and the
previous 203 votes which the democratic
committee pronounce to be absolutely
safe" for Bryan, swelled by the 90 fur
Their votes of the four states lust
named, which the committe pronounce
TO be reasonably certain" for the free
silver ticket, will give the 224 votes
necessary to elect, with five to spare.
But while the committee give out
this list of states and electoral votes
as the list on which they expect to win,
they do not by long odds convey an in.
rimation, or even squint toward the
idea, that these are all the states that
the democrats are likely 10 carry. They
contend that the Bryan ticket has a
thoroughly good fighting chance in
Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, and q
poorer chance in Ohio and Iowa. New

cry of Senator Hill, who cold blood

MODEST CLAIMS OF sILvERITES.
Conservative Estimate of the Standing Of
the statsA

We have on several occasions directed
attention to the extravagant claims
made by the republicans of states and
electoral votes wherewith they expect,
or profess that they expect, to land
Hanna's man in the white house. The
claims have been uniformly so out
rageous that argument in connection
with them was out of the question;
the only way to treat them as they de-
served was TO laugh at them.
Within the last two or three days.
however, the representatives of the free
silver democracy have tried their hand
at the same business, and they have
compiled a list which. from its unmis-
taxable modesty and conservatism,
must challenge the respect of the re-
publicaus themselves. Here is the roll
of states with their electoral votes
which they pronounce to be absolutely
safe" for the Bryan and Sewall ticket:
