Waterbury Democrat., 1900-10-31

Republican editors everywhere are predicting the election of Mckinley. It is hardly to be expected that they would talk any other way just at this time They should be.a little more ob- serving. Right here in Waterbury the men who worked against Bryan are "hollern' " for him this time. He will get the vote of nine -tenths of the gold democrats of '9G. There are few in this state who went against him at that time that are still helplessly grop- ing in the dark, but the large majority are back in the ranks, and democracy will show an almost united front at the voting places next Tuesday. That is what a close observer can see in Waterbury, and the same condition prevails all over the country. This is q democratic year, notwithstanding all republican yarns to the contrary. Watch Waterbury's majority.

News comes from Kokomo, Indiana have been thrown into a panic by the announcement that Edward W. Free man and sixteen other civil war vet erans in his company, who marched with Sherman to the sea, had re- nounced Mckinley and will vote for Bryan this election. Mir Freeman is well-known newspaper man and has resided in KOkomo for fifty years. He was postmaster of KokomO for twelve years under Grant and other republi- can presidents. and has held county offices of honor and trust. He was a brother-in -in-law of the late T. C.. Phillips, founder of the Kokomo Tri- bune. one of the oldest and best known republican newspapers in the state. MT Freeman and his sixteen comrades who have abandoned the Mckinley ranks are all substantial citizens. They | departed on the issue of imperialism and pension methods. They will vote | the straight democratic ticket from | president down. All are enthusiastic | for John w. Kern for governor. The ''flopping'' is all one way in that vi- | cinity. Nobody in that section who voted for Bryan four years ago Will vote for Mckinley this year except one, and he calls himself populist and not a republican or democrat. | The gold democrats are all for Bryan this time. A. F. Phillips, formerly | editor and owner of the kokomo Irl- bune Gepublican, now editor of a paper at Salt Lake City, Utah, has also abandoned Mckinley and has declared | for Bryan.

Q Samuel Fessenden of ''quitter'' fame came to town last evening, and the first thing the Hon sam did was to wave the bloody shirt If he has been correctly reported he pitched into Tillman of North Carolina O.
 Sam said all sorts of things about Me Lean, the candidate for governor, q month or so ago, but he has repented, and Mclean is a good fellow now. Re ferring to the state ticket he said "1 supported a very distinguished gentleman for the high position of governor of this commonwealth, a gentleman who stands as high as any man, the peer of any man in the state. went into the convention but was de- feated in a fair and square fight. But as true soldier, loyal member of the republican party, l urge you to support the entire republican ticket, from George P. Mclean and President Mckinley down to the last nominee on the list'' Great is the power of the republican party when it can whip such men as sam sFessendcn into line and make him eat his own words.

We draw the line between honest wealth, and predatory wealth a We draw,a line between that wealth which is just compensation for services rem dered and that wealth which simply measures the advantage which one citizen has taken over many citizens, and no honest industry, no honest oc- cupation, no honest man need fear the success of the democratic party. Could there be anything more conservative, more wise, more patriotic than that? Is there an honest citizen anywhere who does not say 'Amen?'"

 MT Bryan made q telling point against his political opponents when he said at New Haven: When the money question was paramount we talked aboutsit, and the republicans wanted to talk about fhe. tariff, and now when the republicans assail the principles of government, instead of defending the policy of imperialism, they want to talk about the. money question. .''-Harfford Times.

Mark Hanna, who secured his seat
 in the United States senate by bribery,
 is making a desperate effort to save
 the mortgaged Mckinley administra-
 ton from defeat by raising the cheap
 old cry that MT Bryan is trying to set
 the poor against the rich. It is too
 late in the day to rescue MT Mckin-
 ley. The people of the United States
 know MT Bryan as the conservative
 defender of the constitution, the cour-
 ageous opponent of reckless colonial
 adventure and the champion of leglt-
 mate wealth. commerce and, industry
 against the lawless and predatory
 trusts which are supporting their weak
 agent in the White House. The whole
 country knows MT Bryan as the safest
 and most sincere leader since Lincoln,
 just as it knows MT Mckinley as the
 most corrupt and incapable man ever
 placed in the chair of Washington and
 Jefferson MT Mckinley's defeat is as certain as his ignoble place in Ameri-
 can history. The convention which
 nominated him was dominated by the
 arch-briber of America, and it's idol
 was eX-Governor Taylor, q fugitive
 from the justice ofshis own state. It
 was an apotheosis of human greed.
 The men who are trying to perpetu-
 ate him in power have gathered the
 greatest political corruption fund
 known in the history of the world. These arc the men who say that MT Bryan is trying to set the poor against the rich. The truth is that Mir Bryan
 has done more to bring the honest rich and the honest poor together than any other man of this generation. His
 greatest service to his country is that
 he has put hope in the breasts of poor
 men and made them realize that their wrongs can be righted by the peaceful exercise of their votes. He has sought to awaken in the minds of the honest
 men of wealth a realization of the per | ilous conditions created by his honest
 and law-defying combinations which the supreme court itself has con .demned in sweeping terms. Read.

 | The New Britain Record has been enlarged and otherwise improved. and is now issued from its own building. Proprietor Doyle has had a building erected after his own ideas and as a result he has an up-to-date printing es- tablishment. He has installed lino- type machine and a duplex angle bar press for prin ing his newspaper, SO that he is up to date in that matter also. Monday evenings issue con- tained an interesting history of the paper from it's early days up to the present time. The editor of the Dem- ocrat was especially interested in that account of the paper in it's early days, as he remembers and was associated with all the people who had charge of the Record as proprietors and editors from the time of l.. NJ. Guernsey to Samuel Baker. We had the pleasure @ of setting up the copy of Elihu Burritt, L. NJ. Guernsey, Joshua N. Oviatt, Marcus L. Delavan, Samuel Baker, Sylvester c. Durham and J. Willard Parsons, as well as a host of lesser lights. Elihu Burritt wrote with a quill and J. Willard Par sons wrote a back hand that was sim ply horrible. sam Baker was the neatest writer of those mentioned, and We might add also that he was. con vincing and interesting writer, and furthermore. at that time he was con Sidered the best printer in the state. Other writers for the paper in those days were F. N. Stanley and Samuel Hart, both of whom held the posi- ton of mayor. Valentine B. Chamber lain was also an occasional contrib utor. In those days the Record was considered a pretty good bit of news paper property. The Record is deserv- ing of the success that has come to it, and We wish for q continuation of the prosperity that a wide awake and pro- gressive newspaper is entitled to.

BEAUTIFUL ON MOUNTAINS.

It Is well known that the chemical composition of the atmosphere differs but little, if at all, wherever the sample be taken; whether it be on the high Alps or at the surf. ce of the seq, the relation of oxygen to nitrogen and other constit uents is the same, says the London Lancet. The favorable effects. therefore, of change of air are not to ba explained by any difference in tho proportion of its gaseous constituents. One important difference, however, is the bacteriological one. The air ot high attitudes contains no microbes, and is, in fact, sterile, while near the ground and some 1CO feet above i. nj crobes are abundant. In the air of towns and crowded places not only does the nicrobic impu-ity increase, but other impurities, such as the prod ucts of combustion of coal, accrue also. Several investiga tocs have found traces of hydrogen and certain Hydrocarbons ia the air, and especially in the air Of pine, oak and birch forests. It is to these bodies, doubtless consisting of traces of essential oils, to which the curative effects of certain health re- sorts are ascribed. Thus the locality of fir forest is said to give relief in diseases of the respiratory tract. But all the same, these traces of essential oils and aromatic products must be counted, strictly speaking, as impu-i- ties, since fthsy are not apparently nee essary constituents of the air. As re~ cent analyses have. shown, these bodies tend to disappear in the air as higher altitude is reached, until they disar.- pear altogether. It would seem, thera- fore, that microbes, hydrocarbons and entities othar than oxygen aud nitrp- gen, and pe1ha ps we should aid argcn, are only ihc.<iAnt tai to the eneighborhood of human industry, animal life, damp and vegetation.
