AN INCIDENT.

We heard the other day of a little
occurrence which is full of instruc-
ton. A gentleman in st. Paul had
twentY-seven men in his employment.
He called them together. "Boys,'
said he, II don't want to coerce you;
and you are at liberty to vote just as
you please; but for my own information
[ would like to know how you feel on
the presidential question, as between
Mckinley and Bryan" He thereupon
called the roll, and there were twenty
who said they were in favor of McKin-
ley, five who had not made up their
minds, didn't understand the ques-
ton, ctc.) and two who preferred
Bryan. The employer went off jubi-
lant. Then one Of the men suggested
that they take secret ballot. 1hey
did so and there ,cere tacenty-seren u3tes for
Bryan!
Something will drop on the 3rd of
November.

Tor q few minutes, and kneel down
and say his prayers, before the aston
ished lawyers and suitorsl The SON
of such man could not help but be
honest and sincere. He is as distinct
~ q product Of the West Is Abraham
Lincoln was. He is Lincoln train
ed under more favorable conditions
than those which surrounded ''the
railsplitter;" and called up by the
Almighty, not to preside over a deadly
struggle of contending sections, but
to heal the wounds of the age by wise
counsels and just legislation.
The revolution in which Mr.. B.yan
Is to take leading part is even of
greater moment than that of Mr..
Lincoln's time. The issues then were
the freedom Of particular race and
the preservation of the union of the
states. II the South had triumphed
we should have had two great free re-.
publics- ia this country instead of one.
But II the present attempt of the
capltalistic class to subvert the rule of
the people, and reduce them to pov-
erty, succeeds, it is impossible that
liberty can long endure in this land
or be possible Of attainment in any
other land on earth.
We cannot therefore hesitate to be-
lieve that it was God who has NOM
mated Mr.. Bryan for the presidency;
and that he will carry him into the
White House on the uplifted hands of
seventy million citizens; and that
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people" shall not
perish from the face of the earth.
