The Times, Washington d. c.
% The Democrats OF West Virqiaia

Washington Times is the only news.
paper of consequence published be
tween New York City and Richmond
which is earnestly and Loyalty sup
porting the National Democratic
ticket. The so called Democrat.
ic journals of Philadelphia and
Baltimore have again deserted OF
the enemy, aud the independent pa
pers in both these cities and in the
District of Columbia are openly adj.
vocating Mr.. Mckinley's reelection.
The Times stands alone in this
great and popnlous territory in its
support Of Mr.. Bryan, and it pro.
poses from now until the 9th of
November to spare no expense and
to leave no stone untnrned to accom-
plish his election to the Presidency.
The Times has never been a party
organ in the common meaning OF
the term and it never will be; but it
advocates Mr.. Bryan's election
now -
First: Because it believes in the
man.
Second: Because it believes in the
Democratic Platform.
Third Because il the government
of the people is to be continued in
the people, the Republican admins
tration now in power must be turned
out of office without delay.
The Democratic candidates were
beaten in 1896 by the labor vote in
the large cities and the farmer vote
in West Virginia, Maryland, Ken
lucky, and the great States of the
middle West. It is time for both
of these elements to return to their
natural allies. Neither the Ameri-
can farmer nor the laborer in the
cities believes in Imperialism,
Trusts, the domination of the mon
ev power, "a great standing army, or
unlawful combinations in restraint
OF trade. Bosh of them revere the
Constitution and demand that all
legislation shall be shaped in accord
ance with and not in defiance of the
supreme law Of the land.
When we went TO war with Spain
it was to free Cuba and not To
throttle Porto Rico, and to increase
the regular army from $4,000 to
100000 men. We contemplated no
secret alliance with England for the
abandonment Of the Monroe Doc
trine and the alienation of the Nj
caragua Canal. But these with
the war taxes) ale the net results
of the war without counting the in
terminable struggle in the Philip
pines where incompetency and cor
ruption have done their perfect
work.
Reform is necessary in all branch
es of the general government and a
man with backbone is needed in
the White House. Mr.. Bryan is
such man and with his elevation
to the Presidency the reform will
come.
America will resume it's station
as Republic.
The Constitution will govern
both President and Congress.
The Philippines will be pacified.
Cuba will be turned over to the
Cubans.
The War Taxes will be abolished.
The Trusts will be regulated and
controlled
The Nicaragua Canal will be
built and owned by the United
States.
The thieves in public Office will
be driven out and Hannaism and all
it stands for will go.
The consummation is one SO de-
voutly to be wished that not Dem
ocrat in the close and doubtful
State of West Virginia should spare
himself in the coming campaign.
He should be up and doing from
now on, and preach the gospel of
Democracy to all with whom he has
influence. He should make loyalty
to the National ticket his watch
word and in order to keep up with
the times and circulate in among
his neighbors.
