Will the congress dare to restore the
the right of suffrage to the negroes in
that city? The next house may be
democratic. If so Sambo will wait
awhile longer for more bossing of the

that nevertheless they are not good

There are only two OF three higher

nothing of science: and elementary
truths, which are familiar to our boys

The German vote in this country Is
a big thing. 1t is given out that $780,
600 Germans, born in "Fatherland' or
descendants, will vote for president
this year. They can decide the cleo
ton if they should all vote the SAM
way. Here are some of the state with
the number Of supposed new voters:
New York, 3S5, 900; Illinois. 304, 900: Ohio,
217, 900; Wisconsin, $4,000; Pennsylva-
MIA, 1875, 900; Missouri, 121. 900; Michigan,
109, 900; Iowa, 1OS, 900; Minnesota. $4,000;
New Jersey, $4,000; Indiana. $1,000:
Nebraska, $1,000; California. $4,000:
Maryland, $4,000.
1t is believed by some politicians that
a great many Germans who voted for
Mckinley before will support Bryan
now. A Washington dispatch to the
goldbug Richmond (va-) Times avs:

On the other hand. it is u~nquestion-

large numbers returning to their party.

Lincoln, Neb., August 11.-Seretary
Egerton, Of the populist national COM
mittee, returned from Chicago today.
He said in reference to a statement
that Chairman Butler will bolt the
ticket:
Senator Butler. chairman of the ma
tiOnal committee, will maintain an
office at Washington, 1 presume. By
the way, the talk of lack of harmony
between Mr.. Butler and the remainder
Of b committee has been very much
exaggerated. I have receivd a letter
from Mr.. Butler in which he expresses
himself in accord with the in
which the committee has operated.
Mr.. Butler intends to support the
ticket, as he would have done in any
event. AS a as the committee is
concerned, with the exception of a
very little difference in regard to pol
icy, everything is harmonious"

THE BRAYING "SNOLLIGOSTER.o

Roosevelt is the heavy blower now
of the G. o. P.-the Great Opportunity
Party-and Mark Hanna is training as
a speaker to follow in his wake in the
campaign. Roosevelt delights TO abuse
the democrats. He was trying to pose
recently as of southern kinship. but the
whites will repudiate such connection.
They despise a vndictive liar and SIAN
derer. In 1896, the campaign from
start to finish was of startling person.
atty and bitterness. The republican
and gold press emptied their walls OF
gall and innunendo upon Bryan and the
democracy. There was no term of op-
proprium that was not used. Roosevelt
has started out to reproduce the inso-
lence and the bitterness and the coarse
ness and the teeming f~alsehoods and
ISLANDERS. At st. Paul he expectorated
by the mouthful venom and mendacity.
Mckinley will be rather too decent to
copy the and matter Of the
rough spouter from New York. Moth
ing better could be really expected to
come from the blatherskite who deals
in py~rotechnics and abuse. Villiica-
staple in trade. and he must riot in
falsehood and defamation or abandon
the job
Roosevelt poured his invective
against the democrats as if he were
at deadly feud with that grand old
- 80 concentration, I'D ,z co,,L
lican principles, based OF the constitu-
ton and the declaration Of indepen-
dence. Hear this slanderer as with in
tensified passion he spouted this irate
and malicious sentences:
Study the Kansas City platform and
you cannot help realizing that their
policy is the policy of infamy, that
their triumph would near misery so
widespread that it is almost unthink-
able and a disgrace so lasting that
more than a generation would ave to
pass before it could be wiped out. They
stand for lawleSsneSS and disorder, for
dishonesty and dislonor. for license
and disaster at home and cowardly
shrinking from duty abroad
1t is not remarkable that Hanna
seeks to put a cur upon the coarse
and ~slanderous demagogue. That
speech will make many a democratic
vote. The Houston Post administers a
strong rebuke and towards the close
says:
T fall from the lips of a candidate
for the vice, presidency in a public ad-
dress they should condemn their author
to the contempt and certainly to the
distruSt of the nation. The open viii
famous Islander which they contain of
half of the manhood of America can
not be excused On any ground. The
author of them writes himself down as
a braying ass but with the character
istics OF a jackal. They are the words
of a little man who is either consumed
by malice and dishonesty or crazy for
notoriety to that extent that he can
forget all obligations Of propriety and
prostitute exalted position to the uses
of the clown or ward heller"
