KIND WORDS FROM A VALUED
FRIEND.

written for the Representatives.
Friend Donnelly, the wise and good
Are seldom VIII oily understood,
By those who criticise them;
The best determinations are,
But partial views of character.
And in sense, belle them.
But as the years pass slowly on,
And personal rivalries are gone,
Merit hath been rewarded;
And every one received the due,
He justly was entitled to
In measure as recorded.
Nor is it strange that ribald tongues,
Prefer enumerating wrongs,
To honorable mention;
BY nature fitted for abuse,
They feel themselves of little use,
Except to SOW dissension.
When present rivalries are past.
And wholesome views obtain at last,
Respecting men of merit,
Then you, my friend, will have your day.
Justice is slow, but sure" they say,
So wait awhile and share it.
A pioneer inded, thou art,
Both of the mind and of the heart,
Or forerunner, rather;
Others will reap what thou hast sOwn,
But still the harvest is thine own,
No matter who doth gather.
Cheer up my friend, nor be cast down,
Thy head is worthy of a crown,
And it, in soOth, shall wear it:
Foes may delay thee for awhile,
But heaven is just, however vile.
The means employed to bar it.
Be stron g,be brave, be worldly wise,
With justice Ger before thine eyes,
AS heaven may help you see it,
Thou hast a mission to fulfill,
Defending right, confronting i'll,
The poor mans friend-so be It,
Nor holier mission doth engage,
The life of patriot priest or sage,
Than to relieve the needy:
To bar the strong, assist the weak,
The chains of the oppressor break,
To check the over greedy.

No FUNDS.

We copy the following from a COM
municatiOn issued by certain free-silver
papers. Send all the money you can
spare to Mr. Swaine
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. IA, 1896.
1t has been currently reported that this
campaign is backed by the wealthy "Sil-
yer Barons." Nothing could be further
from the truth. The state central COM
mitteees in all the silver forces, find
themselves with no funds and have SO
far had trouble to raise the means for
paying postage and the most absolute
necessary clerical assistance to perfect
organization.
This is battle Of the common people,
farmers and laborlng men.
The wealthy corporations and monied
interests, who heretofore have divided
their support with view to maintain
friendly relations with whatever party
should come into power, view with
alarm the determined stand taken by
the people, and have arrayed themselves
against the cause SO essential to the
prosperity of our country.
Party lines have been cast to the
wind, and we find the honest and fear
less press bulwark for the defense of
the rights of the people.
III tHlS we urge your ediHcSC anu PAT"
riotic cooperation as the most effective
means to further the cause we are all
so striving for
The promise of victory seems quite
assured and the cause we now are adj
vocating will soon be recognized as en-
bodying the cardinal principles of the
party sure to control the destinies of the
nation for years to come. Respectfully,

GETTING RED HOT.

In all the cities the streets swarm
with great crowds discussing the sill
yer question. The debate grows
tiercer every day. 1t is beginning to
reach the danger line. Nothing was
ever before seen like it in the history
Of this country.
Here are two items that illustrate
the condition.
A riot call was sent to the Des-
PLANES street station Sunday night on
account Of an argument over the sill
yer question. Several thousand peo-
pie had congregated at Halsted and
Madison streets to listen to free silver
speakers and the jam became SO great
street car tracks and sidewalks were
blocked. The arguments, finally re-
suited in an uproar, and then assumed
the proportions OF Eliot. ArguerS
came to blows and the increasing
throng threatened serious injury to
persons. -
Officers Fitzgerald and Ulmacher
found the crowd beyond tffeir ability
to disperse and a call for help was Sc Mt
in. Policemen McGratfl. Wessler,
Mahoney and Broderick were sent and
all OF the policemen made a combined
attack. The speakers fed and the
audience finally gave way, after great
excitement had been daused.-Chica-
go Times Herald. ivy
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. l3.,-A serious
disturbance occurred in the public
square this afternoon, and only the
timely action of squad Of police pre-
vented riot. Howard Dennis, a free
silver man, was talking from the ros-
trum to an immense crowd, when he
| was arrested en- an order Of the mayor
for breaking the park ordinance, hav-
ing no permit to speak. At this Peter
Witt, president of the Central Labor
Union; Steve Freir Of the National
Boilermakers' Union. and George Cor
den, a newspaper man, declared one
the right Of speech would be denied
them and mounted the stand. All
three we're arrested and were followed
to the Jail by mob that shouted for
their release The men were bailed
out, and the crowd returned to the
square. From the centennial log
cabin floats a banner announcing a
Mckinley excursion to Canton, and
some one shouted that while the
square could not be used by citizens
for political arguments it could be
used for political arguments. Imme-
diately 1000 men shouted to their
comrades to tear down the cabin. 1t
was only by prompt action on the part
Of the police that the cabin was saved
from destruction. The affair has
caused the utmost feeling and the
crowd in the square had not dispersed
late this evening.
We believe Bryan will be elected, but
if he is not, and times grow worse, as
there is every reason to fear they will,
the future will be full Of danger. The
people cannot stand four years more
of present conditions.

A PLAN FOR SEWALL'S WITH
DRAWAL.

New York, Sept ls.-The New York
Times says:
Senator German Of Maryland, has
been deputed by Chairman Jones, Of
the Democratic national committee
to arrange the withdrawal of Arthur
SeWall as vice presidential candidate.
Senator German and Mr.. Sewall served
for several years together upon the
Democratic National committee, and
there was an affinity between them
owing to the fact that both are pro.
tectionists. 1t is we'll known that
when Chairman Jones published Mr..
Sewall's letter to Mr.. Bryan, in which
he agreed to withdraw from the ticket
all arrangements were made to take
Mr.. SeWall at his word. Since then
Vermont and Maine have spoken, and
the Democratic managers openly con-
cede that the Eastern states are over
whelmingly against Bryan. They
think that their only hope is to carry
some Of the states Of the middle west,
where Mr.. Sewall handicaps them.

interest of the few and regardless Of
the interests OF the many that is the
trouble in every caSe.-Star and Kan

One Of the best indications that Mr..
Bryan.iS honest and upright, is the
fact that all the banks, corporations,
railroads, pools, trusts. combines and
monopolies are fighting him. Bryan
is the Peoples candidate. Mckinley
was put up by the monopolies and
combines. Bryan is sure to win,-Ok-

out law.-Southern Mercury.
II Sewall stays on the Democratic
ticket, it means the defeat of Bryan.
If he retireS and the whole strength
unites on Bryan and Watson the ticke It
will sweep the country and roll up the
biggest majority any ticket has had

REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL CON
TENIION.

HOW IT WAS PACKED BY INTELLIGENT
VOTERS.
We find the following very interest
ing anecdote in the Chicago Times
Herald, showing how the members Of
the National Convention, which nom
mated Mckinley, were selected. Such
incidents confirm our conviction that
this is well-governed country, and
that free-in situations are safe.
One of the best Is to 1 stories is told
here by Southern politician. Dur
ing the canvass for the election of
delegates to the National Republican
convention white man and a cOlOred
man were rivals for the honor Of rep
resenting certain district, The
white aspirant was silver man, while
his colored opponent favored the gold
standard. Presently the former start
ed out on his electioneering tour. The
party voters were nearly all colored
men. "Boys, am for free silver at Is
to Land that is what you need to have
good times and plenty of money"
This was the burden of his song wher-
ever he went. The colored men want
ed to know what is to l meant, and
his reply was always ready. 1T
MEANS" he explained, sixteen silver
dollars to every one of you-16 to l,
don t you see?" Inasmuch as Is was
more money than the majority OF the
poor fellows has ever seen this pro-
gramme pleased them immensely. To
a man they shouted 16 to /, and the
white candidates cause prospered
amazingly. But now the colored as
pirant set out on his electioneering

"a GAIN FOR SILVER"

Washington, D. c., Sept. Ex-senator
Jones, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, will leave Wash
ington for Chicago tonight. When ask
ed for an opinion as to the result Of the
Maine election he said:
when we consider that before the
Democratic national convention was
held the Democrats Of Maine held a
convention and nominated a gold
ticket, on gold platform, and that
subsequently they met and reversed
this action, declaring for silver, and
that this was followed SO soon by an
election at which the party cast 5000
votes more than 1t d!d two years ago.

elected the bankers will put forth
that power which no Congress has
thus far dared to resist. That is to
say, the people must submit at the
