PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION
and PROSPERITY.
FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, Of Ohio
FOR NONRESIDENT
GARRETT A. HOBART, of New Jersey
ELECTION NOVEMBER 3. 1896.
Keep woman's suffrage to the front.
Bryan's oratory doesn't improve on &C
quaintance.
The silence of Grover Cleveland is be-
coming painfully audible.
Don't be laggard in your duties as a
citizen. Get your name on the register at
once.
There is more promise of disturbance
than of prosperity in the Democratic plat
form.
Women as well as men are interested in
prosperity and should have a right to vote
for it.
BY the way, was that 'cornfieId shake"
Silver Dick got at Chicago or just plain
shaker
1t will not be overlooked that the mi
tials of W. J. Bryan are also the initials of
the wild jay bird.
There is no need for the Eastern Demo.
Gratis to put up third ticket. Mckinley
will save the country.
The election of Bryan would certainly
be dangerous, but fortunately there is no
danger of his election.
Sewall, the bank president, standing on
platform denouncing banks is one of the
humors of the situation.
The Democratic band wagon will have
to be drawn by colts this year, for all the
wheel horses are kicking.
You are attending to the welfare of your
own business when you are working for
the election of Mckinley.
Henry Watterson demands good Demo
cratic ticket, just as if the politics of this
The election of Mckinley will restore
confidence and put money into circulation,
while the election of Bryan would mean
another panic.
No intelligent bimetallist will intrust

agement of such a fiy-up-the-creek as the
boy orator of the Platte.
That stanch Democratic organ, the
Philadelphia Record, says the party is "puz-
zlifcated," and while that is not the right
word it will do to start with.
Genuine bimetallists will not intrust
their cause to bands of pretty rhetoricians.
1t is business principle and must be left
TO the management of business men.
The rapidity with which the Republi.
cans of the State are organizing is a good
sign of the earnestness of the rank and
file. They mean business and intend to
win.
1t was hardly necessary for the United
Press to tell the world that Bryan wears
light, soft hat. His newly swelled hesd
cannot bear anything of weight or stabil-
ity on it at present.
The Republican party in California has
twice pledged itself to the cause of
woman's suffrage, and in this campaign
merits the support of all who are willing
to do Justice to womanhood.
The campaign ought to be a pleasant
walkover for protection and prosperity,
but Republicans can easily make it a
straightforward, Thanksgiving knock
down campaign if Democrats insist on il.
The New York Tribune figures it out that
in the Republican snd the Democratic
National Conventions taken together there
were 114O gold men to zoo silver men and
estimates that is about the way the country
will vote.
Bryan may be a good orator when he
has a chance 10 deliver prepared grafton,
but his short speeches from the train on
his way home are far below the level of
any ever spoken by any other Presidential
candidate in our history.
One of the big railways centering In
Chicago is trying the experiment of five
cent fare to any point within twenty miles
of the depot in that city. This is the sys-
tenn which has proven so successful on the
Austrian railways, even when applied on
larger scale, and may be the beginning
of general adoption OF the plan IN this
country.
The New York Times in commenting on
the defeat of Senator Hill for temporary
chairman of the Chicago convention said:
Now that the silver men have given the
measure Of their recklessness, the best out
come OF the convention would be the nom-
instion of the worst possible candidate by
the toughest methods and on the rottenest
platform" The Times should be satisfied,
for the convention did that very thing.
