"a Gold Democratic ADVICE.

sF-.H Al - y "a
4 Perhaps the. most disguised Democrat
In the country to-day is Governor
George Hondly. one Of the few Demo-
Gratis who has enjoyed the dlstinction
Of being elected governor Of. Ohio. Mr..
Hoadly Is at present located In New
York. and takes no pains to conceal his
disgust over the late performances at
Kansas City enacted In the name Of
Democracy. His advice. publicly ex-
pressed through an Interview In the
New York Times. to all Democrats dis
satisfied With the Kansas City ticket is
Support the Republican nominees"
He candidly adds that although Mr..
Mckinley represents views. principles.
and course of action that Gold Demo
Gratis do not approve. he is SO much bet
ter than Bryan that 1t can hardly be
said 10 be q choice OF evils.
"Mr. Bryan. II elected" says Mr..
Hoadly, will endeavor to pay the ma
tional debt or the interest on 1t in sill
yer, which would Introduce series OF
appalling caiamIties greater. than any
that are to be dreaded from any other
cause. Therefore. my advice to Gold
; Democrats and the action shall take
myself will be to vote the Republican
ticket at the Presidential election"
So far as the extraneous Issue Of I'm
sperlal!sm," which the Democrats are
attempting to make paramount to con-
ceal their free silver idiocy. Is concern
ed, Mr.. Hoadly, like all other reason
able and sensible persons. has no fears
Of this conjured apparition. On this
point he says,
l do not believe the objections to what
Is called imperialism amount to any
thing. do not say that no President
i or no government under any circum-
stances could conscientiously treat the
Philippines differently from the way In
which Mr.. Mckinley is treating them.
If l supposed that the Republican party
were committed to the permanent own
ership Of the islands as colonies or sa-
.trapies, should feel very hostile to
such u course. and share in the fears
Of Mr.. Schurz and Governor Bout
well. .e1
The treaty which made the islands
our and by which the large sum of $780,
100000 was paid for them was advocated
by-Willlam ]. Bryan. 1t certainly does
not lie In his mouth to object to the
possession of the islands now. To Mr..
Bryan would say: You, personally,
went to Washington. and by the ratiH-
cation of the treaty helped to bring the
United States into control. Now, you
are responsible. What will you do with
them II elected President? Will you
give them back to the Tagalogs? The
war was begun by the Tagalogs, and
not by US. Il
Mr.. Mckinley says, restore order, ed
ucate the people. and after order has
been restored, and when reasonable
time has passed to enable the people to
pass upon what they shall do, then ask
the people what they wish 1t would
take the whole Of Mr.. McKlnley's sec-
ond administration to accomplish this.
That Is one OF the great questions OF the
future for the United States.
We agree. you and l. that Mr.. Nc
tinley's attitude on the DIngley tariff
WINS offensive Possibly. If you@hnd the
making Of the tariff you would have
made it better than 1t Is, but We must
have tariff, and no one proposed a
new one except the men who in making
1t would debase the currency.
1t is far more important to secure n
gold currency than to reduce the tariff
to which our people are accustomed. or
to make some experiment with the gov
eminent Of the Philippines. or TO try
to strengthen In some way not now
formulated the present legislation
against trusts.
I would say to him. also: The Re-
publican party Is. apparently as hostile
to trusts as the Democratic rnrty What
Is the Use of debasfng the currency for
the sake Of getting shot at the trusts
OF choosing You as the marllsman r. th"r
than the Republicans, 10 shoot at the
trusts, which your friends are actively
engaged in promoting here in New
York?
Tammnny Hall is itself n trust of the
first magnitude. and engaged In fos-
terinS and fnthering the worst trust
ever known In the City of New York
So far IS Ada! the AXman."l he vice
presidential candidate, is involved in
the mltter, Mr.. Hoadly does not appear
to have very exalted opinion Of him,
Iisml&si7g him with the following
rather tcrsc reference: "He is nothing
but Il spokesman. His greatest service
to his country was WHEN, as third post
master general, he turned out lot OF
Republicans and put In Democrats no
better fitted for the places"
