THE gold standard element of the
New York Democracy has made prepar-
tons to celebrate Jefferson's birthday
and in order to have at least one good
orator and an attraction to draw crowd
they invited Bryan to break bread with
them and to speak. But Bryan, know
ing that the men at the head of this af-
fair opposed him and the Chicago plat
form, refused to attend unless he was
assured that these people of Tammany
fame had changed their. political convic-
tons. They refused to state what their
individual political beliefs are and the
result of it all is that there will be two
banquets IN New York in honor of the
great father OF Democracy -one by the
Tammany chiefs and one by the friends
of Mr.. Bryan. The former will cost
$1,000 per plate and the latter the mod
est price of $1.00. We predict that the
Bryan banquet will place its rival en-
tirely in the shade and the result will be
that the friends OF the great champion
of silver will feel encouraged and will
set to work in earnest to elect delega-
ton the next national convention in
sympathy with the Chicago platform.
Should this happen the Democrats will
go into the campaign with the same
platform together with an additional
plank against expansion.

What Thinkers Think.
Well Said.

Well Said.
Cottonwood Co. Citizen;
The man who canrot tolerate the
honest religious and political beliefs Of
others is a mighty poor citizen for a re-.
public and will not only suffer much
vexation of spirit himself but will cause
considerable commotion IN any freedom
loving community. Intolerance is akin
to bigotry, and the pages of history run
with the blood of its victims.
Only Too True.
Duluth Herald:
The st. Paul Pioneer Press IS now
vigorously denouncing the trusts and
urging that the protective tariff he re-
moved from all articles controlled by
trusts. There is no election near at
hand, and this explains the attitude of
the leading Republican organ of the
state. When the spring of 1900 arrives
it will have naught to say against trusts
and will be shouting for higher tariff.
This is It's usual procedure.
Baby Perhaps. r. r
Albert Lea Standard:
The Fairmont Independent relates that
recently Martin county young lady
was teaching a class in spelling when
the word "husband". was put on the
blackboard. None Of the children could
pronounce 1t and in order to help them
out the teacher asked, "What would I
have if should get married9" The re-
Spouse was prompt but not what she had
expected and she blushed such brilli-
ant red that the sunlight paled.
ANics State OF Affairs.
Albert Lea Standards:
at the meeting of the Iowa hardware
jobbers' association last week it was de-
clared that jobbers opposed to the steel
and wire trust cannot obtain any goods
of the trust and so cannot supply their
customers, as it is the purpose to freeze
them out. The jobbers openly say
that they were at the mercy of the trust,
and dare not even protest individually
lest goods be entirely refused them.
Truly this is fine state of affairs, and
this is only one instance of scores now
existing under a government by the
trusts.
A Noble Woman.
st. Peter Tribune.
During the terrible Windsor hotel fire
at New York last week in which over
fifty persons lost their lives, Miss Helen
Gould had another opportunity to show
that she is true women in every sense
Of the word. Her handsome Fifth avenue
home was just opposite the hotel, and at
the very beginning of the fire Miss Gould
threw open her doors to the unfortunates
who were made homeless by the flames.
Rich and poor alike we're admitted and
received the best possible care and at
tention from Miss Gould and the men,
bers of her household. Congress voted
Miss Gould a handsome medal for her
manifold acts of kindness during the
Spanish war, and her ready assistance to
poor unfortunates at all times, should
give her high place in the hearts of the
American people. We're there more mil
lionaires like Miss Gould, there would
be fewer anarchists clamoring for a d.
vision of the wealth.

8. A. Cooper for Sheriff.

The Republicans Of Dickinson coun-
ty have reason to be proud Of their
selection Of s. A. Cooper for the office
Of sheriff. Mr.. Cooper has since
youth lived in Dickinson, be is known
to all as a big hearted, generous,
wideawake gentleman, true to his
friends and genial to all. No man
can truthfully say that Sam Cooper
ever defrauded him Of a cent or in
any way treated him dishonorably.
He has had dealings with thousands
OF Dickinson's citizens and has always
been found square and fair. He is a
Republican with a record for earnest
helpful work for the party, as chair
man OF the central committee be
proved himself capable leader and
won the respect Of all. Sam Cooper
will make a sheriff who will admins
ter the duties Of the office with credit
to himself and the county. He de-
serves the vote Of every citizen In
favor Of good government and the
proper administration OF the office.

tional administration, when every
vote for fusion candidate means a
slap at Mckinley, we can not think
for a moment Of allowing our old es-

stands for antagonism to the admin
istration, opposition to Mckinley, op-
position to prosperity, opposition to
the cause our boys are fighting for,
and no Republican can afford to cast

Do !, You Slid You Would.

We now call upon those men who
voted for Bryan in 1896 and who said
and meant that il Mckinley were
elected and good times came they
would become Republicans, to redeem
their promise. Many Of them have
done SO, but many Of them are still
in the opposition ranks with no reas-
on to be there except that they were
there before. The Republican party
has earned the confidence and sup
port Of these men and they should b.
fair enough to do as they said they
would and not remain in opposition
because they once were.
The Republican party has not only
carried out its promises, but it has
done more. There is not Populist
farmer in Reno county who does
not value his land higher now than
be did in 1896. There is not a Popu.
list in town who is not doing more
business and making more money
than be did in 1896. As citizens and
as businessmen the Demo-Populists
rejoice ever the good times, take ad-
vantage Of them and realize on them.
Then why, politically, should they
stand out and say temporary pros.
perity," famine in India" and talk
in miserable mournful way that
they do not feel?
When you get things coming your
way 90 to pushing and pulling.
Don't hang back and make the weight

lows to move. The Republican party
or Providence or some great force is
making business boom and everybody
prosper. You can hinder this but
not prevent it by complaining and
croaking. You can help and hasten
by cheering and encouraging. Take
the side Of your own interests, the
party that has loosened up prosperity
until you can get a hold and help
make times better and yourself hap
pier by being a Republican as you
said you would. -[Hutchinson News.

When two years ago the people Of
Dickinson county gave R. B. Jacobs a

they made no mistake. They not

faithful, honest and careful of the
peoples interests. Mr.. Jacobs is one
Of the most respected citizens Of the

and true friend. He can be trusted
in every detail and as he has served
one term only he will be given a
second by larger majority than that
