point, the undisputed Tact Is that Gov
ernor Holcomb approved the bond for
the treasurer for the second term and that
the bond Is practically worthless; that the
bond Of BARLEY for his first term was
good, and that the testimony OF the gov
ernor In the criminal trial stands as a
state and In favor Of the s%ureties on the
first bond. II there was default on the
part Of BARLEY during the first term, IL
was the duty Of the governor to ascertain
that fact before approving his bond forthe
second term, and II ascertained, to take
stops for the recovery Of the shortage on
his bond. II, on the other hand, there vas
no shortage, IL WA the duty of the gov
ernor to take O good bond, and II the bond
taken Is bad then the loss to the state was
made possible and contributed TO by the
fault and negligence Of Governor Hol-
comb. In either case his failure md neg
lect contribute to the states loss.
Want Credit For Prosperity.
While the showing made by the reform
ers does not justify their continuance in
Office, their labored attempt to take credit
for the widespread prosperity, which our
people are now enjoying, Is another graft.
Tying evidence Of the existence of that
which they so long and pcrsistently de-
MED. Republican leaders have ever been
heralds Of prosperity. The claims of the
combine so hardly made are In the last
analysis flattery OF Republican policy and
capacity. Everywhere can be seen evi,,
but n%ationsi. No Section, no state, no
county can permanently prosper with
IN the same effects being felt by the
country ut large. A genuine permanent
prosperity Is always general and comes
only from favorable, natural conditions
and the application TO them Of wise poll
cies. The policy Of the Republican party
from Its infancy to the present time has
been to develop the highest capacity of
our people. IL dignined labor and gave
employment at good and increasing
wages; IL ave homes to the homeless;
freedom to the slaves; fostered manu-
features; gave an unrivaled market TO
the producer; established firmly our gov
m ut home; caused II to be re-
spected abroad; upfurled our flag In new
and distant islands beyond the seas, car
rying inspiration, enlightenment and
liberty which IL symbolizes, n today
gives the strongest possible assurance to
the world that under the guidance Of the
splendid statesman now at the helm,
America in the days TO come Is to be rot
only the steward Of all the nations Of the
benign laws, and in the unfolding Of our
civilization will the liberty loving and
aspiring people of the world be blessed.
MaIigning Mckinley.
Now, / have kept you too long, but l
wan Just u moment more of your time.
! told you at the outset that this campaign
was run upon fraud by the opposition, and
l think ! have shown you SO; 1t is also
run upon a general abuse of the general
government had Of the present admins
t~ration, our braye soldier boys who went
to the front and put down the Spanish
flag, and an abuse Of the conduct Of the
officials in charge Of the war department at
Washington. Now there Is just one more
thing that want to show you, and this Will
be- remembered by all Of the old soldiers
that fought 40 bravely in the war Of 1860,
and most Of them have read 1t before, and
maybe some of you have. This is a copy
of a hand-bill put out by the opposition
of 1854. 1t was after Gettysburg, after
the surrender Of Wick sburg, after Grants
victories In the Wilderness when the
south had been swept clean by a merci-
less CONSUMPTION and was unable to longer
continue the war, but there were still
thousands of troops In the field. 1t Is
a hand.bill announcing a rally at Bush
nell, Ills, and reads as follows:
DEMOCRATS

strength and numbers.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
Gentlemen, ask any old soldier and he
will tell you that that Is simply a sample
OF what was seen on every street corner OF
nearly every town. This was gotten out
to abuse Mr.. Lincoln and his administra-
ton, and there were hundreds of them In
every community, and was gotten out for
the same purpose that the opposition are
getting OF their ISLANDERS today. Two
years later the same parties called an
other meeting. Some bright Republican
boys found one Of these circulars and
took 1t to tho printer and had
a lot Of them run of, and the next morn
ing when the people awoke they found q
copy Of this plastered to the door Of every
man in Bushnell, Ills, who had o hand IN
writing the poster. They were the mad
dest set Of men you yer saw, and 1t took
the better part Of the forenoon fer most Of
them to work and scrub their own sluln,
slime and filth Of their doors, and / stand
here today and Wy that there are thous
sndr Of men IN this state pnd In the
six years Of their lives trying to scrub of!
the filth and slum and slime that they are
trying to throw upon Mr.. Mckinley and
his administration today.
