STAND UNITED FOR BRYAN.

Shall the republic be maintained. -
and we do not want the farce of Il
two-tailed ticket. When this battle is
fought and won, we are then for a
straight socialist ticket
The Troy Times says: IF Bryan
and Sewall could carry Kansas by 15,-
0OO in 1896, Bryan and Stevenson can
carry the state by $4,000 in 1900. Both
are agreeable TO our people and will
be accorded the united support of the
reform forces, as well as thousands of
intelligent Republicans, who, like
Webster Davis, love liberty better
than party"
The Engman Journal says: TIP
goes Steyenson's name, and we are for
him and do not propose to be a party
by our silence or consent to giving up
our republic for an empire, or undo
ing what our forefathers at Benning-
ton and Bunker Hill started. and was
followed by the immortal Declaration
of Independence, whose overthrow the
election of Mckinley means"
The Smith Center journal says:
The journal will gladly support Bry
an and Towne or Bryan and Steven
son, as the anti--republican commit
tees agree upon. After Bryan fol
president, the matter of men amounts
TO but little as compared with the is
sues at stake. \ majority of tht
voters of this country are opposed t<
the present admd nistraton of Hanna
and Mckinley, and a union of the
forces in the present campaign will
mean success for Bryan, the man who
towers above his opponents as {
statesman"
The Lyndon Herald says: AS fal
| as the Herald is concerned it can sup
Il port Stevenson as heartily as 1T coult
! Towne. The issues this year are o
| too much Importance to quarre
over individuals, and the men wht
make up the populist party are too
broad to be stung by poisoned thrust
| from the enemy"
The Winfield Free Press says
''Adlai Stevenson of Illinois is as goot
a choice as could possibly have beef
made. He Us an old-time green-back
: er, and was twice elected to congress
on that issue. . He refused to follow
/ Cleveland in 1896, and heartily sup
ported Bryan and free silver, stump
ng several states during the cam
paign
The Athena Lantern says: MI
Stevenson is thoroughly in sympath.
with and stands squarely upon tn
platform adopted, is a strong man, eN
! ceedingly popular through the east
Fusionists from all parts of the cour
| try express themselves as perfect
satisfied with the ticket. There seem
seems to be no dissatisfied element IL
any quarter of the country; perfec
harmony prevalles. Our chances fo
electing this ticket are eXceedingl
good. Hurrah for Bryan and Stever

while vice-president with Cleveland
/ never bowed the knee to that stuffe'
prophet, and was not on friendl,

Democrats, Populists need have M
