national headquarters many names OF
prominent citizens and old time Demo
Gratis who voted for Bryan in 1896, but
will vote for Mr. Mckinley in 1900.
Their change of views has been occa-
stoned in most cases by their disgust
with the Democrats unpatriotic posi-
tion as to imperialism" and by their
unwillingness 70 run the risk ,of sacri-
ficing our present prosperity by a
change of financial policy. These con-
versions to Mckinley are striking
sign of the times. A few typical in
stances are herewith appended:
Senator Stewards Views.
WILLIAM NJ. STEWART, senator from
Nevada and one of the foremost sup
porters Of the free silver ticket in
1896: 'Will the people who mourn the
deaths of their relatives murdered In
the PHILIPPINES by Aguinaldos guer-
rillas support his candidate i'll this
country? Will country which has
sacrificed thousands of lives and mil
lions of dollars to maintain the author
ity of the United States elevate to the
office of president the candidate of
a league which is exerting all it's ener-
gies to tear down the flag? When Mr..
Bryan affiliated with that league and
secured its support, he betrayed his
American followers and became the
candidate of the enemies of the United
States both at home and abroad. He
will not be president"
JOHN NJ PALMER of Springfield, Ills,
ex-senator and gold Democrats candi-
date for president in 1896: II shall vote
for Mckinley. Populism Is unsafe and
Mr.. Bryan is the high priest of that
faction. The country Is not for, nor are
Mckinley and his partisan friends be-
levers in, Imperialism. AS president
he has done the best he could. He has
been safe executive officer on most
of the vital questions that have arisen
during the past three years"
w. A. PETER Of Kansas, Populist
I leader and former United States SEN
ator: Economy justice, good govern
ment ana humanity, every good i'm
pulse and every just and righteous con
sideration demand that we do moi

SIDNEY V. LownL q Brookly
f Democratic lawyer / cannot be

%N treason. MI Bryan's losition towal
the United States on tlis Philippil
question is certainly Eatorous. Th
antieXpansion issue rasd by Bry;
will cost the Democrats party maj
votes"
JOHN JOHNSON recently chairman
Democratic central comnhee Of N
Donald county, Mo-: "Aftel long a
earnest consideration of the questio
and principles involved in the prese
campaign l have decided that 1t is l
duty as a progressive citizel and
patriot to lend my support to Tie
publican national, state and our
ticket."
Bryan a RevoIutionist.
DR. GEORGE L. MILLER, for 30 ye,
leader of the Democratic forces
Nebraska and founder of the On
World, and for 20 years its editor
regard Bryan as a socialistic rev
ZIONIST, tinged with religious fai
cism. On the money question Bi
breaches false doctrine. On
rights of life and property he molds
speech in anarchistic form; on the
iect of law and order he incites
revolutionary spirit; on the Philip
nroblem he promises nothing diffe
from the course now being pursue'
.ho administration, but attempts
catch voles by a groundless cry Of
nsN perialism."
