In its comments on the delibera-
tons of the New York Democratic
state convention, the Albany Times
Union says: "The motion of David
b. Hill to make the nomination of
John b. Stanchfield unanimous was
a gracious act, and portends well for
a hard and enthusiastic campaign in
behalf of the democratic nominee.
While there was glimmer of hope
Senator Hill stood for the nomina-
ton of Bird S. Coler with the brav-
cry of Horatlus at the bridge, but
when Stanchfeld's nomination was
secured, Senator Hill was the first
to move to make the "man
from Chemung" the unanimous
choice of the convention. His
course was loudly applauded and
favorably commented upon on all
sides. Senator Hill made gallant
fight against heavy odds. He was
beaten, but not vanquished:"

What Bryan Said at Plymouth.

Mr.. Bryan made his first stop of i'm
portance at this point last week. He
said in part:
al do not know whether it will be
possible to return to this city during
the campaign or not, but if you are pre-
pared to do as well in thi, county this
year as you did in 1896 it will not be
necessary for me to speak here (Cries
1--WE will do better'O. l have been in
formed that you have not been able to
find anyone in this county who was
with us before and is not with Us now,
but have been able to find many who
were not with us in 1896, but are with
us now. | believe we can safely assert
that those coming to us are far more
generous than those DESERVING US.
ave have every reason for the sup
port of the ticket than we had in 1896
and new reasons which have arisen
since that time. The Republican party
is attempting to increase the standing
army from $4,000 to 100000 Is there
any reason why the people at large
should favor such an increasep The
Republican party is trying to fasten
upon our country a colonial policy. In
1896 they said we could not have dou-
BILE standard of money; now they say
we have double standard of govern
ment. There is no reason why you
should vote the republican ticket if you
believe in the principles of self-gOvern-
ment and are willing that the Philip
pines shall govern themselves as we'll
as DESTROYS that we shall govern our
selves"

Big Majority for Bryan.

A travelling man, whose line brings
him in contact with iron manufactur-
ing plants, gives the following as hav-
ing come under his observation recently:
Having called to see a certain COM
psny of this kind in Southern Ohio
where several hundred men were en-
ployed, he was told that the men had
been requested to signify how they
should vote and that two boxes-one
marked plainly mckinley" and the
other "Bryan'-hsd been placed IN the
hallway, where slips of paper with pen
Gil and every convenience for voting
had been placed. 1t is only proper to
say that this company was perfectly
fair with its men and there was no
intention of Influencing or intlmidsting
them in any way, but at the same time
they were very eager that Mckinley
should not return to Canton to reside,
at least tor four years more.
Presently quitting time came and the
men in squads filed out and, as they did
so, each man wrote his preference and
dropped it in one of the boxes. The
secretary of the company, in company
with the travelling man, sat near and IN
plain view of the voting, and, while
few were dropped in the Bryan box,
they went into the other box by dozens.
The secretary was joyous and said:
"See how they vote for Mckinley. l
knew our men were alright"
After the last man had voted and
passed out, the secretary said: "No
use to count all the votes. Let us count
the Bryan votes and deduct them from
the total list of men-that will save
trouble"
The Bryan votes were counted and
found to be about one-tenth of the
whole number. The secretary was
more jubilsnt than ever. But one of
the foremen, who stood near, said:
"This is Saturday afternoon and we
have lots of time--let's count the other
box" This was done; when, to great
surprise, scores of Bryan votes were
found in the Mckinley box. Indeed,
when they were all taken together,
Bryan had two-thirds of all the votes.
The travelling man looked at the
secretary and the secretary looked at
him. No one spoke until the secretary
finally said. "By George thew caupht
on, didn't they?'

The people who have been
preaching that Mr.. Bryan is man
of one idea will be Jared very seri-
ously by careful reading of his St.
Louis speech on trusts, for if ever
that subject was thoroughly covered
in small compass, it was in that
speech. Nowhere has there been
pointed out more fully the evils
which result to all classes of people
than in this presentation of the SUBJ
ject, and it is presentation which
goes with the weight of known
truth to every class: Who denies
that trusts are evil in their effects
The number includes those dir ectly
interested in the trusts and a part of
their tools. Not all of their tools
dare to deny it. The Republican
party dares not take that position
openly. 1t has tried to cover up its
favor to trusts under hypocrisy and
false pretense. Some years ago
ames q. Blaine declared thar trusts
were purely private affairs with
which neither the government nor
others had any right to Interfere,
and the answer that he American
people made to him his served as a
warning to others ever since. Yet
republicans who are not seeking to
maintain a political existence have
continued to show their favor to
trusts openly, and the rest have adj
vocated laws to support trusts and
refused to take any action toward
their repression. The public mind
has not yet lost memory of the mis-
cradle sham of an anti trust law in
troduced in the closing days of the
last session of congress, and never
intended to be passed.
AS Mr.. Bryan says, "No man
can watch the conduct of the Re
publican party and read the speeches
of republican leaders, and still be.
lieve the Republican party sincere
in its declaration against the trusts"

Democrats Claim House.

One Of the important subjects dis
cussed by the state committee las
week was the personnel of the mex
legislature. The committee canvssseC
carefully the situation In every legisls
tive district. Allowances were made
for weakness of certain democratic
candidates and especial strength of Ger
tain republican candidates and it was
still figured tina. the next house viii

This would give the democrats ma
jority of twelve and insure them the
speaker. The republicans had a ma
jority 10 the last house. The democrats
do not expect to have q majority In the
next senate, owing to the large number
of republican holdover members.

One hundred thousand democratic
club members from every state in
the union will gather at Indianapo-
lis October 8 to compare notes, and
return home to light the fires of
Jeffersonian principles upon every
hill top in the land. Democracy
has no money wherewith to corrupt
voters and debauch the ballot box,
but it has what is more potent than
mouey-an army of two million
workers who can neither be stifled
nor bought.

E. @. Huthsteiner, who was
chairman of the Gold Democratic
committee of Perry county in 1896
and now fills a similar position at
the head of the regular organiza-
ton, attended the democratic con-
ference at Indianapolis few days
since. He stated that there were
eighty Gold Democrats in Perry
county in 1896, that all but four
voted for Mckinley, and that all of
them will this year vote for Bryan.

political speech in Fort Wayne at
the Union Veteran legion. AS he
proceeded Colonel Bryan, the sup
position is that he wished to get
that gentleman to reply to him,
but Mr.. Bryan did not violate the
prophecies of the occasion by stoop-
ing to notice Mounts remarks. In
fact, Bryan never does stoop to little
things, and has the great faculty of
sizing men up at glance. That
explains why he ignored Mounts
unbecoming utterance.
