Visions of Joy. There is tender spot IN
every heart for the old home. and the
memories which cluster about the dear
old SPOT are solaces in the weary, weary
struggle we make day by day to build IN
our new Eldorado home to which our
children In future time will turn, as we
turn now to the old place where our loved
ones in the evening of life await the hnai
summons.

Why should the masses prefer
Major Mckinley to Mr.. Bryan? Back
ing Mckinley are Carnegie, Rookie
Teller, Pierpont Morgan, G. P. Hunt
ington and all the men of that class,
who are to US what the mobiles were
to Europe in feudal days. Mckinley
is the candidate of the money power
"a power against the aggressions of
which it is to the patriotic and per-
sonal interest OF the ordinary Ameri-
can citizen to battle ceaselessly. Who
is there that doesn't know this? Look
at Hanna. What does that Boss I'M
port? Are the people of the United
States prepared to give victory to a
cause which finds its most adequate
representative in Hanna?
Judge the two candidates by the
forces and the men that are exerting
themselves in their behalf. So judg-
ed, to which candidate should the
thoughtful American give his ballot?

The farmer, who is fooled in this
election, is willing to be duped and
to vote blindly. When everyone, re-
publican and democrat tells him,
that the election of Bryan means bet
ter prices for his produce what more
light does he need or want to enable
him to cast an intelligent vote? And
if the farmer is benefited by the cleo
tion of Byran who is there on the
Eastern Shore that will not be !? Will
not the merchant, laborer, mechanic,
teacher, preacher--everybody, in fact
be benefited by getting part OF
the money which the farmer puts in
to circulation Won't the man of
fixed salary even feel the good effects
of the prosperity it will bring to all
classes Of citizens, if he should have
to pay little more for the produce
he has to buy? And surely he ought
not to be so despicably mean, as to be
willing to have everybody paupers
around him,fo the sake of being able
to buy his produce for song.

In this weeks issue of the Virginia

man of the Populist State Committee.
issues an address to the members of
that party in the State, in which, af-
ter explaining that no arrangement
could be made for division of the
electoral ticket with the Democratic
State Committee, and that it Was
decided not to put up Peoples party
electors, he says: II now call on all
populists to join forces with the sill
Yer democrats and faithfully and
lovally work for the principles so dear
to us.-While Mr.. Sewall and possibly
some candidates for Congress may be
distasteful to populists, yet the
sacrifice we make in voting for them
will only attest our loyalty to duty
and to Mr.. Bryan. Let it not be
thought or said that a populist is not
q patriot. Your State chairman will
throw himself in the thickest Of the
fray and do his whole duty in the
field and at the ballot box to over
throw the combined efforts of the
cold usurers arrayed under the
standard of the republican party and
it's deceitful allies" -Richmond Dis

Law Partner Talbot Makes Remal ks
About Press Reports.

Lincoln, Neb, October 12.-In a
statement given out this evening, A.

the State Senate and law partner of
Candidate Bryan, says:
II see it is stated in the press re
ports that have 'bolted' Mr.. Bryan,

been and am now republican, but
no man has a greater admiration for
Mr.. Bryan than have. His honesty

questioned. l have not 'bolted. Mr..
Bryan, and any statement to that ef-
feet is untrue.
81 wish also to add that the state
ment in the press of the country to
the effect that mir. Bryan misstated
his financial relations to the defunct
German National Bank of this city In
his New London, Conn. speech is
without foundation and untrue. Mr..
Bryan at the time Of the failure OF
that bank was not indebted to it in
any amount whatever, and the bank

Change in Indiana Betting.

Indianapolis, Ind, October TO-
Democrats feel sanguine now OF car
rying Indiana. Matters are changed
in the betting rooms. At the Tuxedo,
where the bet on Indiana was, until
Wednesday, even money that NC
Kinley would carry the State by
10, 900, the figure was cut down to
1000 on that day. and yesterday the
bet on Indiana was taken entirely
from the boards by order of the
republicans putting up the money.
MANY democrats offered to take the
bets at 1000 and even at 5000, but
there was no republican desire to bet,
and the money on Indiana was taken
down. There is on the board no
offer to even bet that Mckinley will
carry the State.
Republican spectators have also
given up Kentucky. At the Denison
pool rooms there have been for three
days bets posted of $50 even that
Bryan will carry the State, and $40
to $50 that Bryan will carry Louis
vile, the republican stronghold III
the State.
Chairman Martin, of the Demo
cratic State Committee, said tonight
that returns from the thirtyday poll
have begun to come in. I'VE are
immensely pleased with them," he
said. "Things are running along in
a way to carry the day for Bryan in
this State. Everybody is hard at
work and fully in earnest. We will
have vice President Stevenson for o
number of speeches in Indiana, and
among the other national characters
in store for the people of the State
are Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio;
P. Watt Hardin, of Kentucky; Sena-
tor Blackburn, of Kentucky; Senator
Daniel, of Virginia; Senator elect
