Doodle win Have to be Fought.
We reformers in Washington are pest
cred with jocular inquiries from gold
bugs and cuckoos as to our choice 70
President They wish or affect t,
wish to know whether we favor Sewal
or Watson. Doubtless the venal anc
ignorant throughout the country fir,
the same inquiry at reformers, anC
think that they have propounded
/. question which is a poser. All you
readers should reply as / do, that &
higher power is running this campaign
for financial independence and the
rights of men, and He will take care of
the ce-Presidential middle, while
meanwhile all reformers, whether Pop.
ulists, silver Democrats or Silver Re
publicans, will devote all their time and
energy to the election of Bryan,
After all, the matter of the Vice Pres
idency is comparatively unimportant
To the government the presiding officer
of the Senate is about as important as
the fly which gets into the cab of an en-
CINE is to the locomotive. Let us elect
Bryan president, which will give us con
troll of the Treasury. the Army and the
Navy, and we will hold hand which
will take the pot.
One old gentleman, who was Repub-
lican, but is now supporter of Bryan.
said to me yesterday, that it is a pity
that the Constitution win not permit
ofSewall and Watson sharing the office
and exercising its functions an alter
nate days, like the two claimants to the
throne in "The Tar and Tartar" It !
would indeed be funny to see one of the
two approach the other at midnight. if |
the Senate were holding an all-night
session, and in tones of thunder de-
mand the chair and gavel. However,
even if the constitution could be strain
ed to permit OF such an equitable settle
ment of the matter, confusion would re-
arise when Sunday came bringing one
days work for ministers and one days
rest for the balance of mankind.
1t would never do for both to wear
Vice-Presidential dignity on that day
and to attend the same church Just !
fancy the preacher praying for "our q
ce-Presidentr and the two claimants f
each trying to look dignifed, as though :
he were the one recommended to the :
care of the Almighty 1t would be a
sight worth travelling to see, but am t

The Republicans are badly scared by f.
the marvellous reyivication of the spirit ii
of 1776. The people have for so long "
permitted themselves to be humbugged, g
have so long been content to eat at the q,
swill-barrel, while the usurers and poll it
ticians lived on the fat of the land, that ii
Hanna and his boodling crew thought u
until recently that Mckinley was yirtu- j
Ally elected, AM that everything was I,

realize their error, and every beneficiary

les is having the fat fried out Of him as
t never was before. An enormous cam
'aign fund is being raised, but if the 1
people can be induced this year to sell 4
heir birthright for mess of pottage, 1 :
I'M much mistaken in my estimate of [
he situation.
The Republican managers intend to 1
ire bicyclists in all the doubtful states !
nd send them out to scatter lying lit
nature and utter falsehoods. All who
penly espouse monetary reform and a
american independence are to be co-er- u
ed, their notes protested, their credits Vi
efused, and be in every way molested =
y the money power. The goldbug dai- II
es are to offer their weekly blanket
