MR.. GORMAN HOME.
Will Take an Active Part in
Presidential Campaign.

a dispatch to the Sun from
Laurel, Md, says:
Ex-senator Arthur p. German
returned home Saturday from a
six weeks vacation, part of which
was spent at Magnolia, Mass,
and part at Saratoga, n. Y. Mr..
German was warmly greeted by
his friends when he reached
Laurel. He stated that he had
been highly benefited by his trip,
and that it would be possible
now fOr him to take an active part
in the Presidential campaign.
He expects to make a number of
speeches and will frequently visit
Democratic State headquarters
in Baltimore, where his advice
upon the conduct of the compaign
will be freely given. Mr.. Cor
man will also be in touch by wire
and through conferences with ma
tional Democratic leaders and
with the management of the ma
tional campaign at Chicago. 1t
is more than likely that Mr.. Cor.
man will address a meeting in
Laurel before election. The Dem.
ocratic Congressional Committee,
at Washington, will also see much
OF Mr.. German during the cam
paign as he is very much inter
ested in the election of a Demo
cratic House of Representatives.

James Creelman Sees Signs of
Victory Everywhere.

James Creelman, the noted
political expert and correspon.
dent, who is travelling with Bry.
an all over the country for the
New York Journal, has the fol-
lowing significant dispatch in
Thursdays issue from Deer
Park, Md:
Let no man mistake the signs
that rise up in Mr.. Bryan'S path
as he moves through these States
which crushed him with defeat
in 1896. They are signs of vic.
tory.
l was with him in this part of
the country four years ago, and
saw the sure signs of Democratic
failure, and | was no more
afraid then to say that West
Virginia would certainly give a
Republican plurality of ten thou
sand than | am tonight to say
that West Virginia will probably
cast her electoral vote for Mr..
Bryan.
The evidence of the Demo-
cratic leaders sufficient strength
is shown in the steady, even, open
change of gold Democrats and
Republicans from Mckinley to
Bryan with no sign of a change
the other way.
The man who moves about the
country with his eyes and ears
and mind open and cannot under.
stand that the whole Mckinley.
Hanna political oligarchy is col
lapsing, and that Mr.. Bryan has
at last seized upon the heart and
imagination of the American
people, is unworthy of attention.
Today's trip with Bryan in
West Virginia developed evidence
enough TO show the mighty and
certain sweep of the conservative
elements from Mckinley to his
opponent. His progress has been
a continuous revelation OF sudden
and new political power.
Measuring Mr.. Bryan s
strength in the country by what
l find everywhere now compared
with what l found four years
ago, it is difficult to see how he
can be defeated The country was
clearly Democratic until the gold
Democrats voted for Mckinley.
The gold Democrats are almost
unanimously for Bryan now, and
with them have come great lots
of Republicans.
Where is Mr.. Hanna to get a
plurality from? l am moving
over the battlefield day by day
and [ cannot see any signs of
a Mckinley victory in sight.
The Presidents weakness and
his treachery have cost him his
office.

Bryan and Wellington Speak
at Cumberland.

Bryan and Wellington spoke
from the same platform in Cum
berland on Tuesday night last,
to three thousand people in the
Opera House, in Cumberland,
Nd. 1t was a rare and novel po-
litical occasion to witness a Re.
publican United States Senator
declaring his open advocacy of
certain paramount principles
enunciated and believed in by a
Democratic candidate for Presi
dent.
No wonder that there was a
crowd in the hall and no wonder
10, 900 people on the outside could
not gain admittance.
Bryan made only a brief ad-
dress, leaving the honors of the
occasion to Wellington, who took
full advantage of them. He was
Missed several times, but this was
expected. Republicans did not
hiss Democrats who left their
party and voted with them in
1896.
Wellington made fine address,
touching especially on McKin.
ley's broken promises, on the de.
liberate violation of the Consti
tuition by the administrations ad.
visers, and of the sure approach
of despotism, as result of the
present tendency of the country
under Republican leadership.
When Wellington and Bryan
stood in the centre of the stage
and shook hands in union on i'm.
perialiSm the audience fairly
went wild. 1t was a grand oc.
casion made so by a fitting
opportunity and an ample justi-
fcation. 1t was an event that
will have a marked effort not only
in Maryland, but all over the en-.
tire country.

MIR. Schurz to Secretary Gage.

The Philadelphia Record, com.
menting on the letter of Carl
Schurz to Secretary Gage, says:
In his open letter to Secretary
Gage. Mr.. Carl Schurz shows
that if there be any danger of the
enforced payment of silver for
government liabilities in the
event of Mr.. Bryan's election
next November, as Mr.. Gage as.
serted Ill recent interview, it is
IN the power of Congress and the
President to effectually block the
game by passing a law simply
providing "that it shall be the
duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury to pay in gold or silver,
at the option of the creditor, ali
kinds of indebtedness of the
United States now payable in
coin"
This is very neat reioinder.
If the Republican majority in
Congress have failed to make Sc.
cure the establishment of the
gold standard they have it in
their power to remedy their fail.
ure and tie the hands of the
next President. 1t takes the
wind out of the alarmist cry sent
forth by the Secretary of the
treasury, and puts the response
blllty for prospective interrup.
ton of gold payments where it
properly belongs.

A RATHER KNOTTY LITTLE
PROBLEM. ISN'T 1T.

Come out into the open, gentlemen,
1t is up to you to defend yourselves.
Carl Schurz describes a condition and
a remedy and it is for you to say
whether that "coin clause" in the
gold standard law, was an uninten-
tional error or an intentional over
sight 1t is rather bitter pill to
swallow, we admit, but your injudi-
cious criticisms and incautious utter
ances and calamity silver bowling has
brought it upon your heads. What
would become Of your "silver issue" if
it became known that that coin
clause" had baen left open" to enable
You to use it as campaign scare-crow
to irishten timid voters? 1t looks
that way, an we are forced to believe
it unless Il good explanation is forth
coming. Republicans, you must ad.
NIT that your gold standard law is in
complete and was only a mask to hide
behind to catch God Democrats votes,
or else declare you will remedy the de-
feet at the mex session of Congress,
which ,nveneS before the next Presi-
dent takes his seat OF course, we
know it is not bimetallism, as you
promised in your platform but it will
kick the pins from under your pet lit
tie cry about the evils of ''silver" aud
put you up against imperialism, :"
which you seem so anxious to avoid.
Read Mr.. Schurz's letter to Secretary
Gage, and tell the people what you are
going to do about it.

Bryan's Labor Day Speech.

The New York Journal, COM
menting on Bryan's great speech
at Chicago on Labor Day, says:
Mr.. Bryan's Labor Day speech
at Chicago will furnish ample
material for thought during the
next two months. Here is one
text from it:
"Man is not satisfied with mere
physical existence, neither will he
be content unless all avenues of
advancement are open to him."
That is an answer to the "Full
Dinner PAIL" or "Pig Philos-
ophy" argument. If the trough
is full the pig is happy and con-
tent. He does MT worry about
the fact that the butcher is shar-
pening the knife for his throat.
Sufficient to the day is the swill
thereof. But the American work
man is made of different stuff.
He demands something more than
sandwich and a quarter of a
dried apple pie in a tin pail. He
demands the rights and the OPP
portunities of a man. He de
mands fair start in the race of
life for his children. He de-
mands the power to stand erect
and say and do what seems to
him good, instead of bringing to
the lord of his bread and butter.
Mr.. Bryan is a master of the
logical dilemma. Here is one
upon which he neatly impales the
advocates of government by in.
junction:
1.-The thing forbidden by an in
junction would, without the in.
junction, be either legal or illegal,
If it would be legal, the judge
usurps the function of the Legis.
lature when he forbids it. If it
would be illegal the injunction of
the court is unnecessary, for any
one who violates the law can,
upon conviction, be made to uffer
the penalties prescribed for such
violation"
Workingmen often wonder why
they find it so hard to accom-
plish any thing in politics. They
elect majorities in legislative
bodies, only to find themselves be-
trayed. MIR. Bryan points out
the remedy:
"Direct legislation brings the
government closer to the voter.
There is more virtue in the people
than ever finds expression through
their representatives. To hold
that representative can act for
the people better than they can
act for themselves is to assert
that he is as much interested in
the people as they are in them
selves and that his wisdom is
greater than the com bined wisdom
of majority of the people"
To the people who object to in.
come taxes Mr.. Bryan maks it
clear that we have income taxes
now, and graduated ones at that,
pressing with enormous weight
upon the poor and becoming
lighter and lighter with increas-
ing wealth.
THE taxes upon consumption
bear heaviest upon the poor and
lightest upon the rich and are, in
tact, graded income tax, the per
cent collected decreasing as the
income increases
Mr.. Bryan's whole address is
solid meat. A comparison with
the speech of Governor Roosevelt,
delivered at the same time, is a
complete vindication of the wis
dom of the Republican managers
in discOuraging the suggestion of
joint debate between Roosevelt
and Bryan.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams.
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: any
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over III bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work. ~
This supreme remedy for female dis.
eases, quickly cures nervousness.
melancholy, headache, backache, faint
ing and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is godsend to
weak, sickly, run. down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only so
