BRYAN HEARS M'KINLEY.

Out at Canton, H., on the 9th inst
Mr.. Bryan had the pleasure of listening tc
brief address made by President Nc
Kinley. A street fair was being held and
Mr.. Bryan had been secured to deliver q
two hours address. President Mckinley
arrived and Mr.. Bryan was among the
first to greet him es he left the train. The
Nebraskan sat directly behind the Presi-
dent while be spoke. MIR. Mckinley said:
"Our glorious old flag, the symbol of
liberty. floats to-day over two hemis-
pheres. During the recent war we had
exhibitions of unprecedented patriotism
on the part of the people AID unmatched
heroisnI on the part of our soldiers and
sailors.
"Our second great triumph is the tri-
umph of prosperity. The busy mills, the
active industries, the general prosperity,
have scattered plenty Ger a smiling
country.
"Our third great triumph liz the triumph
We have had over sectionalism. We are
no longer a divided people, and who stirs
up animosities between the North and
South is denied hearing in both sections.
The boys IF the North and the boys of the
South fought triumphantly on land and
lea in every engagement during the war.
$50 l conclude by saving that this ma
ton has been greatly blessed, and at this
hour we are united and prosperous and
patriotic people. And m ay that Divine
Providence who has guided us in all of
our undertakings from the inception of the
government, continue His gracious and
assuring favor to us foreyermore.
When the President concluded he
heartily grasped Mr.. Bryan's outstreched
hand, and goodbyes were exchanged be-
tween the two men who had lead opposing
orces in the great battle of 1896, the men
who are likely to lead the same forces in
1900.
The four paragraphs above, spok en- by
he President, were a contradiction of
8ryan's theories of 1896 and of the pol
cies he is now advocating.

In the Matter of Advertising,
Fourth listatc.l

When the railroad advertising agents
met in Chicago the other day and de-
liberatey declared rs the result Of their
experience that the newspaper was the
best medium of advertising they simply
voiced the opinion Of thousands of business
men all the world over.
And yet not day passes that some new
form Of publicity is not brought before the
public. Some of these have merit and
accomplish their purpose, but they are
few in number and are Of only temporary
worth. Nine-lenths Of these advertising
schemes are absolutely worthless, and the
only persons who get a dollar out Of it are
the origionators who are smart enough to
catch customers.
The reason why the newspapers are the
best mediums for reaching the people,
and securing business, is that they come
in closer touch with the public than any
other kind OF publications.
When man takes up his favorite paper
to find out what is going on in the great,
busy world about him, he cannot avoid
seeing the advertisements contained in it.
Whether he needs any of the articles adj
vertised or not he is impressed by the
announcements and remembers them.
1t is the persistency, if we may SO call
it, of the newspaper that gives it value.
Every day it is new and must beread, and
every day the advertiser is making direct
appeal to the reader for his patronage. Ii
is the constant dropping Of water that
wears away the hardest stone.

UTILIZING THE DEAD.

The Goebelites in Kentucky are becom-
ing very proficient manipulators under
their new election law, which is boosted
to have been copied from the Virginia
law. They recognize that all the sciences
are progressive, and they do not intend
to be left in the rear in their efforts to
make election frauds, which are now the
leading science at the South, keep pace
with the onward movement in all other
branches. So, we find them invoking even
the assistance of the dead to execute their
plans and effect their fraudulent purposes.
On the 2Sth ult., dispatch from Lexing-
ton, KY, to the Evening Post, at Louis
vile, said:
"The Goebelites, it has just been learn
ed, in appointing officers to hold school
board election, have appointed John Man
pin, who has been dead for six months or
more. "This action of thelGoebel machine
ia both serious and amusing. Serious be-
cause it shows the reckless use to which
the machine will avail itself of the infa'
nous election law that was modelled after
the Virginia law. amusing, because Of
the ridiculous position in which the ma
chine has been placed by having its efforts
to invoke the assistance of the dead ex
posed
When we stop to reflect upon the Incl
dent however, we should not be sur
prised at its occurrence in Kentucky
The Kentucky machine is evidently trying
to pattern after the Democratic machine
in Virginia, and the latter has in more
than one instance, perhaps in thousand
utilized the dead for fraudulent ends
One recent, notable instance was that a
Bristol in the Congressional election las
year, where Rhea's "dead agents" vote(
four dead men, one of them a poor, igno
rant negro, who had been dead for more
than year. 1t may be that Kentucky
has been educating pupils at a Virginii
training school, and that under the in
struction of Rhea Stone and Cox they havt
been taught how to vote dead men. Then
it may be that after learning how to inves
departed spirits with the elective fran
chise, they have been inspired with the
thought that it would be eminently proper
to have departed spirits so placed tina
they could pass upon the qualifications o
other departed spirits as electors.
The Kentucky machine has grasped thu
idea of the dead agent" of the Virgins
machine, and gone it one better. 1t ma!
be that Rhea has responded to the invita-
ton to take part in Kentucky politics
and that Stone and Cox have been will

DEWEY AND THE DEMOCRACY
A Candid Democratic Criticism of
the Pretended Boom for the
Admiral.
Atlanta Constitution" (Dem.).

Atlanta Constitution" Dem.).
As matters stand, he really belongs to
no party. Ifhe were compelled by cir
cumstances to make an avowal it is to be
presumed that he would declare for the
Republican party, not because lie really
believes the principles of that party to be
worthy of all acceptation but because OF
bis early associations and prejudices.
These things are hand to escape from.
They have power over the human mind
that the most powerful and convincing
argument fails to shake.
On the other hand, if he were to accept
Mr.. Whitneys invitation and become
the candidate of the Democratic party, we
should behold the curious spectacle of the
Republican organs, egged on by the Han
mas, The Platts, the Dicks, and the Jerry
Simpsons of that organization, decrying
him as traitor to his country, Popuilst,
mobocrat, an anarchist, and disorgan-
izer, who, with Gendishness unparal-
lelled in history, was endeavoling TO array
labor against capital and destroy the basis
and foundation of our social order.
Under the circumstances. it is easy to
perceive that Dewey's only enemies are
those who are trying to drag HIM out Of a
position in which he is honored by the
whole people and make him the instru
ment of one party and the target of the
other. The truth is that our great Admir-.
al holds position that may be said to be
unique in our history, position that is
emphasized by those rare qualities which
marked his administration before political
influences could be brought to bear, and
which have characterized all his actions
and uttcrances since. There is no reason
why such man should cheaper himself
or his reputation 10 please the whims oil
any faction.
Mr.. Whitney's chief design is not to
honor Dewey but to defeat the nomina-
ton of Bryan. His plan is so preposter-
GUS that there is no reason to suppose that
a man Of Dewey's character will allow
himself be made the victim of it.

The rumor that the Radford Dyers
Association, Limited, was about to absorb
several leading concerns in that line has
been followed up by the statement that
the board of the West Riding Association
has completed the arrangements for the
amalgamation of the following firms:
Messrs. Friedrich Cawley & Co., Moss
House Dye Works, Bacllley & Manches-
ter, Henry Kershaw & Sons, Limited, OF
Hodge Lane Dye Works, and Springfield
Dye Works, Stafford, and r. w. Walker,
of Wicken Hall, New Hay, near Rochdale.
This amalgamation is said to be largely
due to the growth of the use of mercerized
cotton, which las quiet revolutionized the
dress goods industry in that part Of the
country.
