The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-05-20

The desperate straits of the Eastern
democracy over the continued ascend
ancy of the Bryanistie element OF the
party appears from the suggestion in a
New York dispatch published this
morning of a certain obscure son Of
General George B. Mcclellan as a
candidate for vice-president on the
ticket with Bryan, expressly because
he is known net to be in favor of the
Chicago platform. How any man ac-
quainted with the historic record of the
old democratic party could abide such
fraud and be led to support such a
ticket the dispatch does not say, but
that the suggestion is made in all ear
nestness proves the utter hopelessness
of Eastern democrats as to the pres
idential contest unless some way is
found to counteract Bryan and the ef-
feet Of his platform as already adopt
ed at Lincoln and affirmed and en-
larged by the Sioux City convention at
which he was nominated the other
day. The fact is, not one of the East
ern democratic leaders believes in
Bryan or in his policy. They know
that Indiana, West Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, New Jersey, New York
and Connecticut will all vote for a
republican candidate for president
against Bryan and Organism, and they
are bowling TO the mastery Of the wild
Western revolutionist simply because
they are ready to suffer the Bryan ills
rather than fly to others they know not
of. There is no heart, no soul and no
honesty in the support of Bryan by the
democratic leaders Of the debatable
states outside of the South, and It is
marvellous that the once great demo-
cratic party has not leaders big
enough in ability and numbers, to save
the party from Bryanism. The Bryan
platform that the democratic conven-
tion must accept unless it shall exhibit
sufficient courage to assert democracy
over Organism in the national conven-
tion, is simply an awkwardly framed
combination of clap-trap political ut
terances. The only vital feature in It
is its pronounced sympathy with

gents in the Philippines, who would
have abandoned the hopeless contest

teranees conveyed to them from this
country. The only inspiration they
now have to continue the murder Of
cur brave troops by stealth and sur
prise while avoiding battle, is the hope
that Bryan win be the next president
and recognize their Independence,
This declaration will become a stencil
in the nostrils OF every patriotic Amer
lean citizen. The conservative demo-
cratic elements have hoped that the
cheap money, repudiatlon vagary Of
1896. that appealed with some force to
conditions OF poverty and general pros
tration Of business. would be aban-
NOhSu Vt SunNluiNdteu III tue Ntth-
paign OF 1900: but there is no one
thing more distinctly emphasized in
the Bryan platform that he democracy
must now accept, than the independ-
ent and unlimited free coinage of silver
at the ratio OF i6 to l. thus proposing
to load the government with the
guarantee Of new hundreds OF mill
lions Of l5-cent dollars, which must be
by the people at par with
gold, There is no business or indus
trial interest that now demands it;
on the contrary all have every interest
in opposing il. and the emphatic reas-
sertion of ;he free silver craze is
simply wild and woolly" Western pol
itics run mad.

BALDWIN'S
HEALTH TABLETS.

A most valuable scientific and thorough
ly reliable remedy In all forms of consti-
paticn, dyspepsia, Intestinal fermentation
and sluggishness of the liver.
Medical statistics cOnclusively prove
that at least 30 per cent OF the American
people are afflicted with some faulty ac-
bch, intestines or liver. Thoughtful people
do not use calomel, blue mass, or gripping
eethartics for constipation in this en-
llghtened age
The new remedy, Baldwins Health Tab
lets, Is true Liver Tonic and gentle
laxative, hence a positive cure for conSh-
ache, dizziness, etc. The most obstinate
cases yield to these small tablets.
r. w. Tansili, the Chicago millionaire
cigar man (of Tansil's Punch SC cigar
fame), says:
"Baidw1n's Health Tablets are the best
remedy for constipation, blliousness and
torpid liver have ever used"
Sergeant Frank De We're Of Battery X.
Third Artillery, Regular Army, U. s. A,
says: Il gained twenty-five pounds on my
last trip TO Manila, and not day of sick
ness, by using Baldwin's Health Tablets
the best remedy for constipation / ever
used. They regulate the bowels and make
man feel good" Tablets cost Is cents.
