Filipinos to enthusiastically welcome the
commission when it arrives in the towns

of government they most desire, as the
Americans permit freedom of speech.

the Eilipinos to still strive for liberty and
independence, and again warns the com
mission against deception.

PROMINENT GERMAN
HOPES FOR BRYAN'S DEFEAT

Louis Windmuller, the New York
merchant, who in previous cam
paigns has been recognized as the
exponent of the views of a large
number of citizens of German de-
scent and who up to the disruption
of the Democratic party by Bryan
was a prominent gold Democrat and
n contributor to the literature for
former campaigns, has announced
that his views regarding the fitness
of the two presidential candidates
have in no wise changed from those
he entertained in 1896.
Although a gold Democrat then,
said Mr.. Windmuller. Il voted for
Mr. Mckinley, believing mat to vote
for third party candidates was to
throw away vote. | can say now
that l have never been sorry for
making the choice did then. be-
lieve now as / did then that Bryan's
election would be a national calami-
t. and that all those who really care
for the country's welfare have
nothing else to do but to support
Mr.. Mckinley. All other questions
are of minor Importance beside that

General Simon B. Buckner, of
Kentucky, who, in 1896, was the
candidate for Vice President on
the National Democratic ticket,
has returned from q trip abroad.
He said:
1.-THE advices that have re-
ceived from Kentucky make me
believe that the Mckinley Elec-
tors will receive majority of the
votes cast in that State.
"The real, simon pure Demo
Gratis of Kentucky, have no sym
pathy with either Organism or
Goebelism. Bryan, in his trip
through kentucky, identified
himself with Goebelism and drove
away from his support the real
Democracy of the State. The
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan on the
Kansas City platform is in oppo-
sition to the principles of true
Democracy, and his election
would be a menace to civil liberty.
I am not going to take the stump
for anybody, but I shall do what
I can to secure the reelection of
MI. Mckinley.

measure. While the vote for
Governor in many precincts was

Mckinley. AS a business man this ad-
ministration suits me. The Philippines
do not worry me in the least"
Joseph Bear, OF Frostburg, Nd, life
long Democrat, and twice mayor Of
the city: "McKlnley's administration
has convinced me that the Republican
party is the party of business and
progress"
Eugene V. Brewster, Brooklyn, n.
Y: There are twenty-five reasons why
Mr.. Bryan should not be elected. The
chief one is that he has behind him a
disorganized mass of men with con-
fiIcting theories, and IL elected, the
appointment of many thousand OF Of
ficials out of such a mass would mean
confusion worse than COMPOUNDED"
Thomas II. McCracken, business rep
resentative OF the Progressive Car
penters' and the New York City Car
penters' unions for ten years: Bryan
will not get my vote this year. He
got Il in 1896. but he won't get II in
1900. why7 Well, because he Isn't
consistent. that's all"

Edward S. Bragg, soldier,
statesman and lifelong Demo-
crat, came out squarely for Pres
ident Mckinley in speech at the
Pabst Theater, Milwaukee, on
October 18th. He did more. He
exhorted the Gold Democrats, at
whose solicitation he publicly
made known his views, to do like
wise as step essential to the
preservation of national honor.
General Bragg said, among
other things:
1.-THE heart Of this great PEG
pie has always beat loyal to the
government when the war trump
sounded, and has never tolerated,
and will never tolerate, encour-
agement to a public enemy, while
he is robbing, fighting, Staying
the brave men, your sons ana
brothers, whom the government
has sent forth to do its mission,
whether that enemy be an En-
glishman OF Mexican, a Spaniard
or a Filipino.
"The result of 90 is as thrice
told tale. Wisconsin, never lack
ing in its duty where State OF
National honor is concerned, set
the badger stamp of condemna-
ton on MIR. Bryan's 16 to !, in
dorsed by over 100000 plurality.
Are YOU ashamed Of this record,
and would you undo itp No, my
fellow badgers, we will stand to
our guns IN the second battle as
we did in the first.

knows that he has never aban-
doned 16 to /. The carrying
into effect of his financial theo-
ries is the great purpose OF his
life. He is honest, if not prac-

teal, and he has never said, and
he never will say, he has aban-
doned it. He would not abandon
it at Kansas City.
IT have said Mr.. Bryan Is an
honest, il not practical, man.
What he says he believes he can
do, and will never falter in his
attempt to do it.
"He is a dreamy idealist. He
talks and acts and believes, if
he were President, by wave of
his magic wand, as 'twere, he
can make a desert blossom; that
he can do away with want and
misery, and make all his sub
jects prosperous and happy. In
other words, that he is possessed
of the mysterious power that can
make the world an Utopia, if you
give him q chance.
Such a man is a delightful
companion, an estimable mem
Der of society, but wild bull in
a china shop would not be more
dangerous to the safety of the
crockery than such would be to
the safety of the State, if en-
trusted with the management Of
affairs.
1.-THE country is prosperous;
money is plenty and good; inter
est has dropped to 5 per cent; the
market of our abundant crops has
furnished the money to discharge
old mortgages and build new
homes; labor finds employment in
our State, and the laborer fixes
the wages. Why should you de-
sire a change, unless it be for
the betterp And that better
state you cannot hope to find in
the balloon of the idealist,

thrown out, it was allowed to
stand as far as it related to mem
bers of the Legislature. The lat
ter elected j. G. S. Blackburn to
the United States Senate, but
can not conceive that that body
will seat him. I think that 1 am
not exaggerating when say that
at the election in which Mr.. Goe-
bel was a candidate for Governor
90 per cent Of the honest vote OF
the State was thrown out and
nullified to permit the issuing OF
certificate to him. A similar state
of facts would prevail this year
but for the fact that Congress
can take hand in investigating
the returns. Goebelism means
that it matters not how the people
may vote, SO long as Goebelites
can do the counting. The Repub-
licans might carry every county
in the State but one, and then
the State Election Commissioners
could, with only that one coun-
ty, legally declare the Electoral
vote for Bryan. Whether the
Goebelites would dare to do this
remains to be seen, as their ac-
ton would be subject to review
by Congress"

can insidious attempt is made
to create a prejudice against the
advocates of a safe and sound
currency by the insinuation,
more OF less directly made, that
they belong to financial and bust
ness classes, and are therefore not
only out of sympathy with the
common people Of the land, but
for selfish and wicked purposes
are willing to sacrifice the inter
ests of those outside their circle.
sit is a time for the American
people to reason together as mem
bers of great nation which can
promise them a continuance OF
protection and safety only so long
as its solvency is unsupported, its
honor unsullied and the sound
ness of it's money unquestioned.
"The discredit OF depreciation
in the financial centers OF any
form of money in the hands OF
the people is signal Of immedi-
ate loss everywhere.
"If reckless discomfort and
wild experiment should sweep
our currency from its safe sup
port, the most defenseless of all
who suffer in that time of distress
and national discredit will be the
poor, as they reckon the loss in
their scanty support, and the

of the currency, and the Democratic
managers may boast all they want
to, but the fact is that vast ma
jority of the German-born voters
regard this question as the para
mount one, beside which imperial
ISM so-called, cuts no figure. The
trust question is hardly worth talk
ing about for the reason that both
parties have concluded that trusts
are bad things. regard Mr.. Schurz
as deluded respecting the Philip
pines. The Philippine question is so
much on his mind that it has pre-
Guided him from looking impartial
ly at the situation in its entirety.
His judgment, in fact, seems to have
been completely overloaded by it.
II consider Mr.. Bryan a danger
Gus man for the reason that he seeks
to arouse class hatred and panders
to socialistic and populistic tenden-
cies. He should not be elected, and
il is the duty of every business man,
every working man and of all who
love their country to see that he is
defeated"

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 1O--Seven thous-
and workingmen, on buildings in
course Of construction here, quit work
today.
This marks the beginning of a war
between labor and the contractors.
which will suspend building operations
in Chicago. The men are members of
unions affiliated with the Building
Trades council. Their rules, with the
exception of the brick layers of the
union, provide a holiday every Satur-
day afternoon. The contractors re
fuse to longer allow this. When the
men quit work at noon today the con
tractors declared the act constituted
a strike and announced that as fast as
possible non-union men should be Sc
cured. Union leaders claim they have
been locked out

this morning Darlington, vigorously
shelled the retiring Beers atd the
