election day and vote the entire party
ticket, from top to bottom. There
never was time when a national ad-
ministration deserved more thorough
ly the hearty and cordial support of
the party organization to which ii nat
urally looks for Endorsement.
The best way to indorse the admin
istration at Washington is to go to the
polls on Nov. Z and vote the whole
Republican ticket, and no Republican
should omit the performance of that
duty.
GREASY NOT POPULAR.
The candidacy of w. T. Greasy, the
Democratic nominee for state treasurer,
represents the radical wing of the DEM
ocratic party. He is being ardently
supported by his fellow silverites and
by that element of the party which is
publicly proclaiming against President
Mckinley and his administration Many
of them are cooperating with the At
kinson movement, which Is giving en-
couragement to the insurgents in the
Philippines by the circulation of trea-
sonable literature and otherwise at
| tempting to create sentiment against
the policy of the president
Greasy himself is cutting q small
figure In the canvass. He is getting
speeches into the Democratic and as
sistant Democratic papers, which are
| being prepared for him, and is talking
a great deal about what he knows very
little.
Following up its arraignment OF
Greasy upon his antagonistic attitude
| toward the old soldiers, comes plain,
matter-of-fact statement from the ed
itor of the Columbia Republican, pub
lished at Creasy's home, which tells its
own story as to his popularity with his
neighbors. This is what it says in this
| weeks issue, under the caption What
the Official Vote Demonstrates:
In 1894 w. T. Greasy was a can
didate for the legislature the first
time in Columbia county, and was
| elected. His majority compared
with Singerly's is as follows: Sin
gerly had 1884 majority over Hast
ings, Greasy had 1,010 majority, or
324 less than Singerly.
In 1896 Greasy was a candidate
for the second term Bryan had
that year 1.542 majority over Nc
Kinley and Greasy had 1,091 ma
jority, or 451 less than Bryan.
In 1898 Greasy was a candidate
for the third term. jerks had o.
127 majority over Stone and Greasy
had 1,404 majority, of 723 less than
jerks.
This is the verdict which his
neighors and acquaintances regis
tered on three different occasions.
The campaign which is being made
in the interest of Greasy has been a
veritable frost.
An interview with former Republi-
can State Chairman Gilkeson, of
Bucks county, published in the New
York Tribune, has attracted some COM
ment.
"Only a few years ago." said Mr..
| Gilkeson, "40, 900 was considered a nor
NAL majority in Pennsylvania. Since
the Democratic factions have become
so bitter the better element of their
party has come over. so that Penn
| sylvania may be put down as normal at
100000 The 100000 majority may be
drawing the line a little too far, but
still in a national campaign the steady
business Democrats who want no nom
sense in politics can be counted on
either to vote the Republican ticket or
not to vote at all.
"I notice one thing in our district,
and | think it is growing everywhere
that Is the more active part taken by
the farmers in political matters. They
are beginning to wake up to the fact
that manufacturers are not the only
products of toll and skill to be safe
guarded by putting the right party
and principles in authority. They be-
gin to realize that the great staples,
cereals, dairy and meat products. cat
tie, sheep and hogs, and now chickens
and eggs, are not articles of sale on
market days or by street hucksters
only in cities. towns and villages. but
have become the leading articles of ex-
port to Europe. That being the fact
a stable financial system, based on the
coin of commerce, becomes as import
ant to them as it is to the business in
terests of the country at large, IL II
wishes to maintain its lead in the COM
mercial affairs of the world.
THE farmers are finding this out.
l only hope the Democrats will con-
tinue the folly of the Chicago platform
