WILL NOT VOTE The TICKET,
Republican Leader in Ohio Who De.
nouncss the Philadelphia
Combination.

Gen. John Beatty. the veteran SOL
dier and republican leader, Of Colum-
bus, Ohio, recently expressed the senti-
ments of great many republicans in
regard to the platform.
II think, I" he said, ''that it is made up
of lot Of bald assumptions, sprink-
ling Of hypocracy and good many
falsehoods.
'"The platform declaration on the
question Of bimetallism is simply bun
combe. The fact is that Mckinley
did not know when he was nominated
for the presidency in 1896 on which side
of the money question he stood. He
had voted in congress for the is to l
idea. He had voted for and on the
stump had advocated the Sherman bill,
which provided for the purchase Of
some million ounces of silver. At the
time l publicly called attention to this
and said that such policy would lead
to the free coinage of silver, the very
thing which he afterward was made to
oppose. Mckinley has by his vote de-
clared himself a free silver man. he has
made campaign on platform declar,
ing for bimetallism, and now he is to
run on declaration in favor of the
gold standard. The wonderful thing
about this Philadelphia convention,
however, il that Mark Hanna seems to
be it's dictator.
II hope that the ticket will be de
feated. will not vote the ticket. Nc
Kinley is a civil fraud and Roosevelt
is military fraud. and the ticket de-
serves to be beaten. don't know that
shall vote for the other fellow, for l,
does not strike me that I am compelled
to choose even the less Of two evils, but
1 must i'm fairness say that my opinion
Of Byraa grows more and more favor
able. He is beyond doubt sincere, and
he is certainly near the people. On
t.! the other hand, Mckinley is q rich
mans man, not q peoples man."

CANTON. SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY JULY 'a. 1900.
OPPOSED TO MCKINLEY.
Prominent Ohio German viii Not
Vote for Him This Time.

Captain E. III. Bohm, veteran of the
Civil war and justice of the peace for a
number of years, will not vote for Nc
Kinley this year, and expects to cast
his ballot for Bryan.
Bohm is among the foremost local
German-Americans. He said: "Four
years ago. there wasn't more enthu-
siastic Mckinley worker in town than
was. but next November will vote
against him. Further more, from OBJ
servations here and elsewhere, can
safely make the prediction that rs per
cent of the German-American vote will
be cast against Mckinley.
'sThe reason? Oh, there are many
Imperialism, the drift toward being a
robber nation like England is one of
them
Mckinley lacks backbone, he has
bad advisers, and the republican party
today is nominated by interests which
threaten to crush out the life of the
republic
Squire Bohm was reminded that
four years ago he protested from the
stump that the election of Bryan meant
ruin. II know did," said he, "but
am 80 much in earnest in my opposi
tion to the administration in power
that am willing to risk half of my
little earnings and vote for Bryan. y
