of some one else. It Is no injustice to him to prevent his doing injustice to an- other To him who would, either through class legislation or in the absence of nec- essary legislation, trespass upon the rights of another, the Democratic party says Thou shalt not"
 Against us are arrayed a comparatively small, but politically and financially pow erful, number who really profit by Repub- lican policies; but with them are associa- ted large number who, because of their attachment to the party name, are giving their support to doctrines antagonistic to the former teachings of their own party. Republicans who used to advocate bimetal- llsm, now try to convince themselves that the gold standard is good; Republicans who were formerly attached to the green back are now seeking excuse for giv- ing national banks control of the nations paper money; Republicans who used to boast that the Republican party was pay. ing off the national debt, are now Ia king for reasons to support a perpetual and in- creasing debt; Republicans who formerly abhorred a trust, now beguile themselves with the delusion that there are good trusts and bad trusts while, in their minds the line between the two is becoming more and more obscure; Republicans who in times past, congratulated the country upon AHc Shieiii eApeHSe or our StandlnR army, are now making light of the objections which are urged against large increase in the permanent military establishment; Republicans who glored in our independ- ence when the nation was less powerful, now look with favor upon a foreign al- liance; Republicans who three years ago condemned "forcible annexation as inn moral and even criminal, are now sure that It IS both immoral and criminal to oppose forclble annexation. That partisanship has already blinded many to present dangers is certain; how large a portion of the Re- publican party can be drawn over to the new policies remains to be seen.
 The Right to Cr.ticlse
 For time Republican leaders were in- clined to deny to opponents the right to criticise the Philippine policy of the ad- ministration, but upon investigat ton they found that both Lincoln and Clay assert ed and exercised the right to criticise a President during the progress of the Mex ican war.
 Instead of meeting the issue boldly and submitting clear and positive plan for dealing with the Philippine question, the Republican convention adopted d platform the larger part of which was devoted 10 boastlng and self congratulation.
 In attempting to press economic questions upon the country to the exclusion of those which involve the very structure of our government the Republican leaders give new evidence of their abandonment Of the earlier ideals of the party and 3f their complete subserviency to pecuniary consd- erations.
 But they shall not be permitted to evada

Mir. Bryan spoke as follows:
 Mir Chairman and Members of the Notifi
 cation Committee.
 I shall, at an early day, and in more formal manner accept the nomination which you tender, and I shall at that time discuss the various questions covered by the Democratic platform. It may not be out of place. however, to submit a few ob- servations at this time upon the general character of the contest before us, and upon the question which is declared to be of paramount importance in this cam- paign.
 When I say that this contest of 1900 is a contest between Democracy on the one hand and plutocracy on the other, I do not mean to say that all our opponents have deliberately chosen to give to organized wealth a predominating influence in the affairs of the government, but I do assert that the important issues of which constantly tend to elevate pecunary con alterations and ignore human rights.
 In 1859 Lincoln said that the Republican party believed in the man and the dollar, but that in case of conflict it believed in the man before the dollar. This is the proper relation which should exist between the two. Man, the handiwork of God, comes first; money, the handiwork of man, is of inferior importance. Man is the master; money the servant but upon all important questions today, Republican legislation tends to make money the mas ter and man the servant
 Maxim of Jefferson
 The maxim of Jefferson, Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," and the doctrine of Lincoln that this should be government "of the people, by the people, and for the people, are being disregarded and the instrumentalities of government are being used to advance the interests of those who are in a position to secure favors from the government.
 The Democratic party is not making war upon the honest acquisition of wealth; it has no desire to discourage industry, econ- omy and thrift. On the contrary, 1t gives to every citizen the greatest possible stim- ulus to honest toll, when 1t promises him protection in the enjoyment of the proceeds of his labor. Property rights are most se- cure when human rights are respected. Democracy strives for a civilization in which every member of society will share according to his merits.
 No one has right to expect from so- ciety more than a fair compensation for IT he secures more, it is at the expense

ABOUT SCARLET FEVER.
Two Cases Reported Here. But no
Alarm is Felt.

'"
Alarm is Felt.
There is no longer denying the
fact that scarlatina, or scarlet
fever, exists in our town
AS has been the case with the
smallpox epidemic, diversity of
opinion has existed among onr
physicians regarding this fever.
Some of our physicians pro-
nounce it scarlet fever. while 9th
ers are undecided.
Be it what it may. there is no
cause for alarm, as our physicians
do not anticipate anything in the
form of an epidemic.
On the contrary we are informed
that a few cases appear periodical
ly with the season.
In view of its presence. how
ever, it is we'll that our people
should use every precaution to
stamp it out. Resort to cleaning
up your premises and have every
thing about your place in thor
ough sanitary condition.
Vaccin alton is wise precaution
as the writer can testify.
The ARDMoREITE has been ask
ed to keep this matter quiet. fear
ing it would iniure the town.
The ARDMoREITE has the best
interests of Ardmore, at healt first
last andall the time, and feels just
flied in making this statement,
that it would not be doing its duty,
if it withheld this information from
the public.
If death was next door to you,
and word of precaution would
insure your safety, would you
thank friend for warning you Of
its approach, or would you de
nounce him for his pains!

should not they have the same

We feel free in saying there i
. no need for any such action from
