For CONGRESS-

From Romney Tines
"With due regard for Mr.. Dayton's alb
ility and so forth" what ever that may
mean, we have no hestancy about saving
that any one of his opponents in the race
is fully Mr.. Dayton's peer, if not his SUI
perior in capacity, ability. availability and
whatever else goes to make up a model
Congressman, and we are fully of the
opinion that Mr.. Dayton should be sue
ceeded at this time by Grant Pitzer Judge
Holt or w. S. Meredith for the following
reasons:
Frst-It was distinctly understood by
every delegate that voted forMr Dayton
at Keyser two years ago that should they
honor him with the nomination then he
would not be a candidate for re-nomina-
ton at this time.
Second-If the Republicans of the Sec
ond Congressional district persist in keep
ing Mr. Dayton before the people for re.
election, the representation OF this distrc
will surely and certainly be lost to the Re
publican party.
Third-Pitzer, Holt and Meredith have
labored just as hard, and just as long anC
just as faithfully to bring the state int
Republican line as has Mr.. Dayton.
For these and many other reasons tina
might be assigned, we trust that the PEG
pie will see to it that delegates will be APP
pointed that will vote to promote the hes
interests of the party and in due respec
to our candidate in this end of the distfic
the Hon. Y. S. c. Pitzer is entitled to tn
nomination"

When Cleveland was in office the sec
ond time the treasury gold fund was so
low usually that large amounts of bond S
had to be sold in order to replinish the
fund and keep the government from drop
ping to the silver basis. Over S262, 900,
600 of bonds were sold for that purpose.
Since the Republican party has been IN
control, wonderful change has occurred.
Gold has become plentiful; and in fact
gold has become SO plentiful as to really
be embarrassing to the government. The
people recognize these facts, and will not
be misled into adopting policy by
which the present condition of finances
shall be changed. They are satisfied to
lei well enough alone.

SOUND JUDGMENT.

The New York Herald has for y airs
denounced and abused the Republican
party, and its leaders. 1t was impossible
to please it, and nothing was TOO harsh
and bitter for it to publish about the par
ty Of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield. Now
it faces about. and declares that the
greatest menace TO the welfare iof the
United States, lies in Bryan and Bryan
ism. 1t says on that point: y
"Bryans defeat should be the object OF
every American, for his election clearly
means official endorsement Of anarchy, de-
probation of currency, reputation OF the
nations obligations and the fomenfing OF
d ssension in the two branches of the An
glo-Saxon race by mschievous and UNI
warrantable meddling in matters that do
not concern the United States, either di-
rectly or indirectly
After thus denouncing the peerless
Bryan" (7) the Herald pays its attention
to President Mckinley, and after showing
how conservative and patriotic he has
been. concludes his editorial in the fol-
lowing manner, aIluding incidentally to
Dewey, also;
why, then, should the people change
a President who has proved that he can
and that he does carry out the wishes Of
Congress in accordance with the consti-
tItion, for another who only thinks it is
easy, but who may change his opinion
about it later, just as he did about not
running for PRESIDENT Don't swap
horses while crossing stream" is preg-
nant motto for an expanding country that
has several problems on hand which de-
mand for their satisfactory solution con-
tinuity of policy, breadth OF views, a
friendly disposition toward foreign ma
tons, and freedom from all forms of an
archal foolishness, whether it be popu
ism, free silverlsm or socialism.

Why should one man get angry at an
other simply because they entertain po-
litical opinions which do not agree It
is the siliest thing in the world. Demo-
Gratis marry Republicans, and Republi-
cans patronize Democrats-in fact, it is
no uncommon thing to find the warmest
and best of friends in opposite parties.
This is right. The man who cannot vote
for friend once in awhile is bigot, and
deserves no consideration by intelligent,
conservative and reasonable people. Live
and let live, applies to politics, as well as
to any other matter in human existence
and experience.

Many prominent democratic politicians
desire a plank in the national platform
denouncing the Republican party for not
exterminating the English sparrows in

to catch another kind of bird, centuries
ago, by throwing salt on its tail.

by an overwhelming majority, and that
the people are satisfied with the present
prosperity, and splendid condition of the

The Missouri mule has increased in
value under the Republican administra-
