President Mckinley received Won
derful ovation at Omaha last week.
Indeed his trip from the east and back
again has been continued ovation
almost unparalleled The people de-
light to honor him because he is the
nations chief executive, and also be-
cause he has shown himself to be such
an able and honorable one. People
honor him because he is the leader of
that doctrine which brings good times,
protection and reciprocity; because he
stands for urpresent money standard,
the gold standard; because he is the
head of the administration that has
had the responsibility of the most re.
markable war Of recent times; because
that in that war he has conducted our
nation along the lines OF exalted honor.

one dreaded disease that science has

that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is

Those who vote the democratic ticket
vote to let go of all the possessions
that have come into our hands by the
war just closed. They vote to criticise
the administration of Mckinley for
the abuse of our soldiers. They vote
to oppose a standing army sufficient
to retain the PHILIPPINES. They vote to
overthrow our present gold standard
money system and to adopt free and
unlimited coinage OF silver at 16 to l.
They vote for all these principles as
they are laid down in the democratic
state platform. Every one of them is
wrong If you don't believe in them
vote the republican ticket and con-
denim them.
This election is of much more than
usual Importance. An Audubon county
man who has mostly voted the demo-
cratic ticket recently said: 81 know
times have greatly improved since Nc
Kinley's election and if he were run
ming for president this rail- L would
vote for him, but his time Is not out
for two years yet, and until then we
are safe." No, but we are not safe. If
the free silver democrats get control of
the next congress they will at once
unsettle the business of the country
by threatening our money system and
our tariff, and will likely block the
progress of the president in settling
the questions arising from the war. 1t
is absolutely necessary that an admin
istration have senate and house to
support it in order to carry out its
policies. To have congress opposed
to the president now would be to defeat
much that has already been accom-
plished the last two years. Mckinley
ought to be supported by electing a
republican congress by an overwhelm
ing majority.

talks straight from the shoulder on the
money question. He said at Osceola:
"A gold standard is one thing and
gold money is another. A nation may
have the gold standard without dol
lar of gold in circulation. There is no
nation that is not OH the gold standard
for there is no other standard. We do
not propose to destroy silver, but just to
keep every silver dollar as good as gold.
There is no such thing as double
standard. Fhe cheaper coin always
drives the other out of circulation. All
international balances are settled in
gold, because it is the cheapest for pro-
Queer and consumer.

New converts to the 16 to / doctrine
are not conspicuous in Audubon
county, or in Iowa for that matter.
But there are lots of men who are tired
of the doctrine. But their platform
ties the party to it, the candidates for
congress are radically for it, and there
is no way out of it but for those who
disbelieve in the doctrine to help defeat
the party so badly that it will never
take up the issue again.

Another Lifelong Democrat Who Car
Stand His Party No Longer.

Ottumwa, Oct. 15.-Special to State
Register: Judge j. G. Mitchell, Of this
city, has joined the ranks Of those
democrats who could no longer stand
the fallacies of the free silver doctrine,
so tenaciously clung to by the party.
He. gives his political opinion and rea-
sons for no longer atliliating with the
democratic party in II letter to cousin
in distant state, who is staunch re-
publican. j. G. Mitchell is Que of the
oldest and best known lawyers in this
part of the state, and is senior mem
Der of the firm of Mitchell u Hunter,
the junior member being the United
States commissioner of this district
He has also served on the bench of the
Second judicial district, his home being
at that time in Charlton. He moved
to Ottumwa several years ago, and
since then has worked up an immense
practice. He is tile land attorney for
the White5reast Fuel Company, and
has also large criminal practice. The
following is the letter to his cousin:
Ottumwa, Oct. 14-My Dear Cousin;
For twenty-six years | have stuck to
the democratic party and, excepting in
one or two minor instances, have sup
ported its nominees and platform with
out wavering or fault finding.
In 1896, though with some misgivings,
l followed Bryan i'll his silver crusade,
and in good faith voted for him and
spoke for him and his platform.
From 1873 down to 1896 the silver
question has been more or less in poll
tics all the time, but only here and
there in scattered congressional cleo
tions, and in a few instances in state
elections.
In 1896 the 16 to issue was sharply
drawn, was presented to the whole
people; after IA discussion before and
by them unprecedented for heat and
clearness, in their sovereign capacity
they decided against it at the polls.
Since that decision was rendered,
untold millions of credits have been
extended and are outstanding, and
great benelicent enterprises calling for
millions, have been started and are
under way-all on the gold standard,
and on the faith of the vote of the
people that such standard will be main
tanned as settled policy. To now force
silver standard, would be an inexcus.
able impairment of contracts and
would be notice that decisions of the
American people at the polls are as
tickle of shifting sands.
Thomas A. Hendricks at first favored
the payment of our government bonds
in greenbacks; after the people, in the
election of Gen. Grant in 1868, decided
they should be paid in coin, and they
began changing hands on coin valua-
ton, he delared that it would be bad
faith for the people to then change
their former decision and make them
payable in greenbacks.
The IL to question is on parallel.
1t must be admitted that all the grew
some prophesies made on the stump
by silver orators, in 1896, should Bryan

for business Is going on with satisfac-
tory activity and regularity.
Our Marshalltown convention not
only declared a continued adhesion to
Is to /, but undertook to take time by
the forelock and, two years in advance,
pledged Iowa democrats to Col. Bryan.
Certainly therein that convention WIS
little previous and intolerant, for II
great many Iowa democrats may prefer
someone else for the nominee in 1900.
That is, vote for the Marshalltown
nominees can be SO construed in no
other light, and it was so intended us
an advance pledge to Col. Bryan.
Every foot Of territory that has been
added to the original thirteen colonies
has been added by the democratic party,
Alaska alone excepted. When that
party had great leaders it was the pro-
gressiye aud, if you please, the expal-
sion party. The fortunes Of war have
thrown valuable islands, with their
millions OF hitherto oppressed people,
in our arms. The Marsllalltown reso.
lutions, i'll line with Colonel Bryan,
would forego the profit that would fall
to US and to their people, by the annex
alton of these islands, and would have
us sliirk the responsibility of giving
their people just government; or, oll
the other hand, turn back to their for
mer tyrants, or swap them off to for
eign potentates, or leave them to the
confusion. that would prevail among
them ii left to themselves, owing to the
lnexperience vi their people in free
government.
According TO the Marshalltown reso-
luton, the democrat that wants this
government to annex those islands and
give their people the blessings OF good
government and good schools, is an
apostate-Thos. jefferson and the
Louisiana purchase, James X. Polk
and the admission of Texas and the
annexation Of the California country,
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
On that question SO intolerant were
the members of the Marshalltown con
yention, so stupid were they in their
appreciation of the length, breadth aud
depth of democracy, as it came from
Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Marcy,
Douglass and TildeD, that they actually,
like intolerant maniacs, howled down
so good democrat as Mike Healy
when he undertook to defend on the
floor the old time democratic idea Of
expansion.
1t does seem that the brain our Iowa
democrats shall have left after a little
more butting against the present gold
standard stone wall, they propose but
ting out against the stone wall of
human expansion.
And, my dear cousin, is it not humil
iating to an old fashioned democrat,
proud of the history of his party, to
see it reduced to the humiliation of
being unable to hold state or county
or congressional convention here in the
great northwest, without first getting
the consent of two small upstart par
ties so that they can have conventions
at the same time and place, there arbi-
trarily to dictate resolutions and

the distinction of being the only sim
gle topsail ship afloat. The day OF
sailing warships is past, but Uncle
Sam still holds to the theory that the
education OF navigator or command
ing officer in the navy is not COM
plete unless he thoroughly under
stands the handling of sailing ship.
And he must be not merely theoretic-
ally competent, but practically so.
This applies to the ordinary seaman
as we'll as to the officer, and school,
ships for apprentices. propelled by
sail power, are an important part OF
the United States navy. Some one
has said that it only requires months
to make good soldier, but years to
make a good sailor, and every Ameri-
can and English admiral will tell you
that the best officers and seamen in
the navy are men whose nautical
training began on board sailing ship.
Uncle Sam believes this thoroughly,
and has seen it proved many times by
experience He now emphasizes this
by building the Chesapeake. On
board of this vessel and others like
her, the Deweys, Simpsons and
Schleys of the future will receive the
foundation and the most important
practical part of their professional
education.
