sailing down the field for forty yards.
Mr.. Bryan retired to the side lines and
watched the scrinmage, continued to
wear the sweater during the game.
He was much impressed by the play,

Proportional representation is ae-
coming a rather live question in -his
country. The more the people inves-
tigate the idea the more favorable i;
appears. What can be more just than
the proposition that each party be rep
resented in congress Or elsewhere ac-
cording to its voting strength. The
present congress, for instance, is over
whelmingly Republican. Yet on the
popular vote the Democrats polled
within half million as many votes as
the Republicans. Therefore to proper
~ represent the wishes Of the people
congress should be nearly tie. The
Populists, Silver Republicans, Prohi-
bitionists, Nationalist and woman
suffragists would also have represen-
tation according to their proportion c!
the vote cast. Big majorities are al
ways dangerous to political parties
and therefore double danger
GUS to the welfare Of the
whole people. Every congress that
has had big party majority has made
a bad record. Every congress that
has had a small majority has done
well. Proportional representation is
bound to become very live question
and that in the very near future.

LINCOLN, Neb... Nov. a The state
canvassing board, comprising the gov

general, met last Monday to canvass
the returns of the late election. In the
afternoon formal written protest by
the republican state committee was
filed protesting against the canvass go.

The protest was based upon the rather
sensational charge that Secretary of
State Porter, contrary to law, broke
the seals of the envelopes and scanned
the returns, sending them back to
county clerks in numerous instances
for correction Attorneys, it is said,
have been retained to enforce the claim
OF the professors.
Secretary Porter and his two depu
ties were called before the board and
testified to having opened returns and
sending some back for corrections, but
entered a general denial of any change
in figures. At the suggestion of Gov
ernor Holcomb the protest was over

The republicans are now talking Of

it is not settled that such action will
be taken.
it is claimed that if an injunction
We're issued and sustained the throw
ing out of the votes opened by Sccre-
tary Porter would change the result of
the election.
Thus it will be seen that in it's death
throes the republican party is stopping
at nothing. They love the injunction
and may possibly call it to their aid in
defeating the will of the people, not
counting the cost Of such a step. From
their actions one is lead to conclude
that the comfort they say they were
able to extract from the returns must
have soured on their stonachs.

ns.t OF its constitutional power, and
relieved it Of it's constitutional duty to
coin silver as we'll as gold, and furnish
furnished by gold alone? AS absurd
as such suggestion is, it is the foun-
dalton Of all the arguments of the gold
ties in Europe and America.
Six and half millions of the people
Of the United States declared in the last
election that it was the duty of the
government to coin silver as we'll as
gold. and give relief from the present
scarcity of money to the full extent
which the unlimited coinage of both
metals can finnish. But we go further,
and deny that the government is con-
flned to metals, or to paper or to any
other commodity, for material upon
which to stamp or print money. There
is not civilized government in exist
ence which has not. at some time,
stamped or printed on paper the law
which made it full legal tender money
'IhlS proposition was declared to be
true in the mixed money case three
hundred years ago, and it was also de-
clared to be true by our own Supreme
Court in the legal tender cases. In
view OF these facts, those who contend
that the commodity gold alone must
be used for money, and that the PEG
PIE must have no money If the combi-
nation which has cOrnered that com
modify will not let the government
have it, are wrong. The whole trou-
Die is the failure Of the government
to perform it's duty.
We ask what is the reason why the
| government has failed to perform its
duty and furnish al adequate supply OF
money? The reason is that the same
men who have cornered the gold in the
| world have control of the government
Of the United States, and it is for theil
Interests to confine the money Of this
| world to the commodity which they
own or control. Why do the people
eject Presidents who belong to the gold
combination? We answer because the
| gold com bination controls all the

| press, and any other invention which
can be used to spread or circulate lie:
anu deceive the people. Besides when
they are not able to fool enough of the
people to make a majority, they have
thus far succeeded in buying or intim-
dating the required number to make
it possible to count majority for the
| gold trust.
What, then, is the remedy? We
answer there is but one remedy, and
that is the ballot. II the people wolld
take the matter into their own hands
and see to it that their votes were
counted, they could elect Presiden'
, who does not belong to the gold com
bination, and who would not sell out
| to that com binaticn. Relief can come
in no other way. If the people will moi
do this, times must grow harder and
| harder, until barbarism takes the place
of the civilization of the nineteenth
century
