DEMOCRATS UNFIT TO GOVERN
Why Ex-senator w. A. PETER Is Sup
porting Mckinley.


In a published letter issued at Topeka,
Kan, ex-U. S. Senator PETER of that
State says of the principal reasons
why he leaves the Demo-Populist party
is that it is not fit to govern the coun-
try His exact words
The Democratic party is not fit to
govern this country under modern condi-
tions of universal freedom. Look back
upon the second administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. Upward of $3.50. OcO, 900
in United States bonds We're sold with
out special authority of Congress to pro-
cure gold for the redemption reserve
Most of the bonds Were sold to through
syndicates of spectators at enormous
profits
The Republicans were wiser The
war with Spain made large expenditures
necessary; Congress authorized the bor
rowing of money, and 1000, 900 of 3
per cent bonds We're sold to own peo-
pie in sums of $50 to $500 This is the
ton, and not one dollar of gold has been
bought or borrowed. The treasury now
holds nearly, if not quite, $3.50, 000, 900
in gold coin and bullion, and there is
plenty of money in the country for the
transaction of the peoples business
On the Philippine question Mr. PETER
says: The insurrection of Aguinaldo and
his followers must be completely and per
manently suppressed before civil govern
ment can be permanently established In
the meantime the President IS exerting
all peaceably disposed persons.
As before stated when one sovereign
power codes territory to another the al
Iegiance of the inha bitants is transferred
to the new sovereign. The same act
which transfers their country transfers
the allegiance of those who remain in it.
That is the language of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case of
the American Insurance Company vs.
Canter, 1 Peters. 511.
Our national title to the Philippines
is as good in law as the titles we hold
for our homes; and the allegiance of the
Eilipinos to the United States is due the
same that of the people of Alaska or
Hawaii New Mexico, Arizona or Okla

tious men, headed by Judge Taft of Ohio,

Kinley's supporters. These foreigners
comprised fully one-half of the number
of votes received by Mckinley
These are the words of the man who
conducted the Democratic campaign in
1896. The same man is the present chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee. He owes his position to the wish
OF Mr.. Bryan.
The language quoted above was used
in speech 1t is no remembered scrap
of idle conversation. 1t was uttered in
no heat of discussion. 1t was deIiber-
ate expression.
Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
Foreigners said Chairman James *.
Jones of the Democratic national com
mittce. "who came here taking bread out
of the mouths of honest labor, voted at
the last election at the dictation of Nc
TZiniey's supporters. These foreigners
comprised fully one-haIf the number of
votes received by Mckinley
And then this basis that the Re
publican party owed success in 1896 to
Ignorant foreigners Chairman Jones
proceeded to hold out the hope of success
in 1900.
-'Can there be any doubt" he asked,
--as TO which shall prevail, the six and
one-half millions of intelligent Bryan vot-
ignorant foreigners, who voted for Nc
Kinley? -
1t viii seem to sensible people almost
incredible that the chairman of the
Democratic national committee could
make such statements IN 2 public speech.
But the Honorable Jas. X. Jones did it.
More than TWO months after the cleo
tion of 1896 he uttered the assertion
quoted
The occasion was no less serious than
address before the Legislature of Ar
kansas. senator Jones had just been
elected TO his third term in the United
States Senate On the Goth of January,
1897. the senator appeared before an in
formal joint session of his State Legisla-
ture at the capitol in Little Rock. He
returned his thanks to the people of Ar
Kansas through their representatives the
Legislature. and then he proceeded to dis
cuss the defeat of Bryan, speaking as the
chairman of the Democratic national
committee and the head of the manage
ment of the Democratic campaign He
said thar he believed devoutly that Bry-
an had been elected and was swindled

bimctalIic forces would win great vic
The Globe-republican., 1900-09-06

The Sena tor spoke for over hour.
Running through his speech We're two
principal thoughts. One was this idea,
that Republican success had been achiev-
ed through the Ignorant foreigners, a
result which the Senator resented in the
name of the native Southern population
which was more American"
The other central idea with the Sen
ator was the injustice of the unequal
distribution of wealth. Upon this he
dwelt with almost the emphasis which
he gave to the ignorant Foreigners
what has been the of this
great struggle?'' the Senator asked. s'The
people are as honest and as industrious
they ever We're What, then, was
the matter? The last census report shows
that the wealth of the country was $65,-
100000 900, about $1,000 to each fam
lily of five members The Senator quot
ed figures to show the inequality in the
distribution of wealth. why was Mas
sachusetts so much better off than Ar
kansas? Were they more industrious
and more deserving?' He considered
that the Southern people rank fully up
to, if not ahead OF, the people in the
balance of the country. The Southern
people are more completely Anglo-SaNon
than those of the other States and there
fore more American
At this point the chairman of the Dem
ocratic national committee made of
the most remarkable of this series of
startling statements for Arkansas con
that the Southern people are more
American" than the rest of the country,
in this way:
1T took the people of the combined
North and East four years to conquer
the Southern people, and the latter had
built for them a pension list that was
appalling
The Senator's speech bristled with as
sertions intended to incite the spirit OF
class prejudice He said:
"Nillionaires and paupers grow on the
same BUSH When you make q million
aire you make dozens of paupers.''
The men who advocated the gold stand
than vile thief
The argument by which he led up 10
this conclusion is interesting. The Sen
ator said that in 1866 the national debt
amounted to 81. SIG, S:S9 ,0OO-'' He show
ed chow many bales of cotton would have
paid this debt then and how many now
Then he proceeded:
The who took the bonds then
gave greenbacks worth about soc in gold
Now they are paid in gold, thus doublin z
the burden upon the people While 49,
100000 bales of cotton would have paid
the debt when 1t was contra cted. it would
take sc, 600. 600 bales now to pay it with
cut interest Senator Jones said ssthat
he who undertook to make the people pay
more than they had contracted to pay
was no better than vile thief

ator said, yet after this sort of a contest
Bryan received more than a million votes
in excess of what Cleveland received in
1892 He believed devoutly that Brya1

| Senator Stewart Tells What Ais the
Nebraska Colonel.

Senator Stewart of Nevada, the stall
wart silver leader, viii tote and work for
Mckinley this year. lie is tired of Bry-
and Organism and here is why he has
left the Popocrat fold:
Mr.. Bryan's unparalleled campaign
for the principles of the Chicago plat
form and his insistence the adoption
of that platform at Kansas City, said
Senator Stewart, induced the people to
suppose the campaign of 1900 would be
conducted on the issues of 1896. In this
way they were mistaken An ha1lucina-
ton induced Bryan TO make war on an
army of ghosts and hobgoblins, which a
diseased brain created. His instinct
which has formerly led him to consider
realities, departed. He sought his closet
in pursuit of phantoms, and strung to-
gether ten thousand words. which he
gave to the public at Indianapolis He
omitted all mention of the issues of 1896
and summarized the paramount issue of
the present campaign in a pledge to the
Taga1 Guerrillas-p
Whatever the direct result of Senator
Stewards secession from the fusion ALI
ance in Nevada, the rapid spread of the
Western revolt against Col Bryan's In
dianapolis program introduces an element
Colorado, Montana, Idaho and Utah
which was wholly lacking four years
ago. Put on the defensive in one and
all these former strongho1ds by an at
tempted change of issues, and gaining
no material strength elsewhere by the

Mr. Mckinley seems to be adyanc-

with him. Senator Jones said the gold
ties had been put notice. He bellev-
ed that in 1900 the bimetallic forces
would win a great victory Rising prices
always bring prosperity, declining prices
adversely. The repeal of the Sherman
act had been followed by a decline of 10
per cent in prices. The cause of it was
the striking down of one-half of the
metallic money of the world Senator
Jones concluded by asserting his belief
that the principles he spoke for were
absolutely essential to the welfare of the
country.
In the midst of the enunciation of such
views as these the Senator accounted for
the election of the Republican ticket by
declaring:

BRYAN'S THEORIES
AND PRACTICES.
Shouting About the Consent OF
the Governed.
Bryan's Utterances Wholly Inconsistent
with the Practice of Democrats. Who
Have Invariably Suppressed
the CoIored Vote

The verifcation of theory is practice,
the test of sincerity is conduct When n
person party breaches one thing and
practices another, there is no excuse for
being deceived to his honesty -Four
years ago when Mr.. Bryan captured the
Chicago convention by his eloquent ''cross
and crown speech the free coinage
of silver. there was plenty of room for
doubling the soundness even the sanity
OF his proposition. bus it was difficult to
question his sincerity the sincerity of
the party which nominated him. How
ever bad their logic, their theory accord
ed with their practice. The party as
then organized. FAR as it had the pow
er had practiced what it was then preach
ing.
The Southern States the backbone
and body of the Democratic party in
practice. They are the States where
the party is most completely devoted to
Mr.. Bryan and his doctrine, and they are
also the States where the party is and
has always been in most supreme control.
1t is in these States, therefore, that we
must look for the practice verifying par
ty principles These States were the
home of the greenback movement. OF the
wildcat banks, and they were and are
the hotbed of free silver; therefore in
advocating 16 to 1, Government paper
money and the overthrow of the national
banks, Mr.. Bryan is entirely consistent
with the practice of his party at pres
ent organized
In his speech accepting the nomination
for President a Indiana polls, however,
he breaches 4 Few gospel for Democ-
racy. It is not money and banking this
time, but it is Liberty" the consent
of the governed and equal political
rights" regardless OF race, etc. Here

fessions accord with Democratic prac-
tee, where It's control is supreme?

Tuesday morning Joe Gearheart fell
from the roof of the building Frank
Ridgley is having built out on his farm.
He was building the chimney and lost
his footing and fell to the ground
breaking his left arm just above the
wrist. Consequently Joe will have to
loaf awhile and nurse his arm.
Sunday H. s. Wattles, J. M. Thomas
and wife and Miss Maud Campbell
drove down and took dinner with @. L..
Bison, then they all went down on the
farm and enjoyed the sunshine and
beautiful scenery, until evening. The
woods are beautiful and just alive with
flowers. Charles has his farms in fine
shape and we'll stocked.
Last Thursday night at about ono
o'clock the fire alarm rang out its awful
peal and startled our little city from
its peaceful slum Der. Our fire boys re-
sponded and was on time regardless of
the darkness and mud. 1t proved to
be the harness shop of Frank Vickeny.
The building is owned by Mrs. Kate
Ridgely and was insured. Mr.. Vickeny
also carried insurance on his stock.
The boys succeeded in extinguishing
the flames before the building was a
total loss.
