sitting down thirteen to a table.
so do l, so do l, Senior Strickland
Listen, last time we dined thirteen in
this room there were two travellers here,
Americans, friends of Don Smith, who
were trying to open up a trade in these
parts. They drank more than was
good for them, and the end OF ii was
that in the night they quarrelled and
killed each other yonder in the abbot S
chamber, where you are sleeping
poor men, poor men! There was trouble
about the matter at the time, but Don
Smith explained to his countrymen and
it came to nothing"
Indeed" answered the senor. ''It
was strange that two drunken men
should kill each other"
$50 say. senor. In truth for while
thought that Indians must have got
into their room and murdered them, but
it was proved beyond doubt that this
was not so. Ali they are wicked peo-
pie, the Indians; / have seen much of
them and / should know. Now the
government wishes to treat them too
well. Our fathers knew better how to
deal with them, but luckily the arm OF
the government scarcely reaches here,
and no whining padres or officials come
prying about my house, though once
we had some soldiers" and he cursed
at the recollection and drank another
glass of Burgundy.
Il tell you that they are wicked
people," he went on, 'the demonios
their fathers worshipped still possess
them, also they are as secret and dan
gerous; and there are Indians now
who know where vast treasures are
buried, but they will tell nothing.
Yes" and suddenly growing ex-
cited under the influence of the strong
drink, he leaned over and whispered in
to his guests ear. II have one such in
the house at this moment, an old Laca-
done; that is, an unbaptized Indian,
not that l think him any the worse for
that, and with him his daughter, a
woman more beautiful than the night;
perhaps, if I go on liking you / will
show her to you tomorrow, only then /
should have to keep you, for you would
never go away. Beautiful! yes, she is
beautiful, though a devil at heart.
Il have not dared to let these little
ones see her" and he winked and NODDED
toward the villains at the table, but
Jose is to pay her and her papa a visit
tonight, and he won't mind her tenn
pers, though they frighten me.
''Well, would you believe it, this girl
and her old father know enough of
treasure to make every man of us here
rich as the queen OF England. How do
1 know that? I know it because
heard it from their own lips; and will
tell you the story"

How Bryan Was Beaten.

A public reception was rendered
Senator James K. Jones at his home
town, Hope, Ark, on the afternoon Of
November 10. The meeting was arranged
for the purpose OF allowing the Senator's
friends and neighbors to show their ap-
probation of his work in the recent
campaign. People came into town from
all over Hampstead county to welcome
the Senator, and the little opera house
was literally packed, many ladies and
children being present, all to see Jones.
After a cordial greeting, Senator Jones
spoke for an hour or more on the cam
paign and the obstacles that had to be
met. He said that the result was q vic
tory for the Democratic party. He said
that while they had lost the election,
they had not lost the fight. The cause
Of silver was stronger to-day than 1t was
when the campaign opened, and victory
was assured in 1900. He paid high
tribute to w. j. Bryan and said he had
made one OF the most wonderful fights
that had ever been made by ary leader.
He said that the large mum ber Of
commercial orders placed previous to
election day and contingent upon Nc
Kinley's election had been made use Of
in influencing the votes Of workinRmen
and had caused thousands Of Bryan
men to vote for Mckinley, and that
Bryan lost the election by lhe changes
made during the last three days Of the
campaign.
The advocate., 1896-11-18

the voter voted aS agreed upon. This is
to be duly determined when the vote is
counted. When the count takes place,
the ticket 10 known. Here, one party
tore one corner Of his ticket nearly off;
another tore the other corner of; third
tore slit in the center Of his ticket.
These were two brothers and their
father. OF course they fold the ballot
80 the torn portion is concealed when
handed to the judge Of election to be
placed in the ballot box. But when the
ticket is opened, it is we'll known to the
seller and purchaser; and il it shows
that the voter voted as per contract, then
he is paid. That this was done is well
known here, and we believe we could
prove it; but our Justices Of the Peace
are Republican, Probate and District
Judges the same, SO we have no show.
We are too poor to make fight. But 1
want you to know their methods, as this
method will be adopted generally where
the Australian ballot system is the law"

Let No One be Discouraged.

The farm and labor vote for Bryan
80 confidently counted on as one OF the
certainties Of the election did not ma
teriRllze as expected In such numbers
as to carry Republican States. SLill it
is evident there was q decided drift
toward Bryan and free silver. A little
more experience is needed Of govern
ment by trusts and for the aggrandize-
ment Of trusts, and that labor on the
farm and in the shop Is sure to get.
Time is on our side. Ten years before
Lincoln issued his emancipation proc
lamation both the great political parties
OF this country resolved in their plat
forms that there should be an end Of
anti.slsvsry agitation. The Free Soil
candidate for President 10 1852 got only
10000 votes in all the States OF the
union. Eight years later Lincoln got
nearly two millions and was elected.

institutions, then your country will need
your services.
1.-TWO years ago several States were
carried by the same forces that have tri-
umphed this year, and in every one there
followed a saturnalis of corruption ard
rottenness. Now, these conditions are
to be spread over the whole country, and
it will devolve upon the Democratic
party to ultimately stop them. The
shadow Of the men and the influences
that will control the coming administra-
tion is already on the land.
Republicans tell us that the newly
elected President is weak; that he al
lowed the manufacturers to frame his
tariff bill, and that as Governor Of Ohio
he was very weak. We may assume that
the coming administration will be con-
trolled by the men who have been so
prominent in securing this election.
Look at some Of them-Mr. Hanna, Mr..
Carnegie, Mr.. Depew, Mr.. Pullman, Mr..
Huntington, Mr.. Payne, Mr.. Thurston Of
Pacific railroad fame, and q number Of
others Of the same character. Many of
them have long been regarded as corrup-
tionists, as men who helped to spread a
moral leprosy over this country, and
who use government as a convenience to
make money for corporations.
"There will come bond issues and all
manner Of government jobs, and, al
though we have no enemy on either side
Of us, an effort will be made to give this
country standing army, because pluto
cracy demands this. An effort will be
made to advance the doctrine that local
self government does not go hand In
hand with federal supremacy, but that
the President shall have the same power
to use the army that the Car OF Russia
has to use his army, and efforts will be
made to perpetuate government by in
junction and destroy trial by jury, be-
cause plutocracy demands these things,
"An effort will be- made to still further
tighten the grip Of the money power on
the throats OF the people and to gradu-
ally convert this republic into pluto
cratic Oligarchy, and it will devolve on
the Democratic party to save free insti.
tutiOns.
II believe that al the next general
election the people will reverse the YER
dict Of yesterday. The return OF pros
perity will not come as promised. Nc
doubt there will be squirt Of activity
built on false hopes, but as the forces
which have produced the present dis
tress will go right on, as the dear dollar
must in the end destroy enterprise, ne
permanent relief can be expected Of thil
administration.
Remember it was Jefferson who lee
the way in freeing us from British dom
ination in l776 1t was again Jefferson
who saved free institutions in 1900. /
was jackson who freed the people frou
the clutcnes Of the corrupt money pow

llCan standpoint could not have been
worse. The Executive, Legislature,
Judiciary, Congressman, Senator have
all passed into the control Of the Popu'
lists. In Missouri things are almost as
dark. In Nebraska defeat Is almost as
bad.
Kansas, Missouri, Nebrssks-these
three States were the territory as.

the management of Cyrus Leland,
Junior, of Troy.
Leland has made q failure, bad
failure In every one of them. He Is
only a peanut politician and his little
tricky game has brought disaster, great
and unnecessary and unexp .cted, In
all these States where he conducted
the campaign.
It needed enthusiasm based on high
principles, it needed the electricity of
wise mind and high spirit infused
into the campaign. These were want.
ing. Republicanism was distorted,
represented In a mean and false light,
the people were not fred by genuine
ardor and urged by truthful appeals,
and they voted against the Republican
cause.
Whatever power or influence Leland
may have had. 1t is all gone. He has
accomplished nothing. He put him.

great fsvors and do great things. He

The same Is true Of the gang whom
Leland trained up In his political

time has demonstrated his utter and
hopeless incompetency. Nothing could
have been worse managed than the
Republican campaign 10 Kansas.
Wits Simpson, Bristow goes down,

Kansas Republicans cannot ignore
the terrible lesson of this defeat. Facts

"To the Democrats Of Illinois;
"Although defeated, desire to thank

fight you have just made. Consider that
only six months ago our great party lay
PROSTATE; it had been betrayed into the

robbed Of everything democratic except

birds Of prey; it was loaded with politi'

thing for the party except to ride il, and
it was infested with political vermin of
both the smooth and rough and dusty

"Yet under the sore conditions from
the cords with which the Liliputians had
tied it, it rose with new energy, it cut
loose from the Domination Of trusts and
Byndicates, it repudiated the man who
betrayed it, it threw off the load OF dead

and with new inspiration 1t again pro-
claimed democratic principles and es'
poused the cause of toiling humanity.
