Louis Giobe-Democrat-
ATTENDING TO HIS OWN FENCEs-Repre-
sentative Champ Clark of Missouri. is combining
his efforts on the stump strictly TO his State
and district. In the campaign Of 1894 he had sad
experience with an opponent who reused the voters
while Mr.. Clark was away hippodrOming in behalf
of other Democrats. He often declared that this
taught him lesson, for he believed that he lost
the election only because he did not attend 70 his
own fences. Whine M Clark spoke extensively in
other States early in the campaign. he resists all
opportunities now

MANY POPULIsTS FOR MKINLET.-'Ths
Hickory Times Mercury is one OF the North Caro-
lima Populist newspapers. In last summers cam
paign in that State its editor had charge Of The
Caucasian Senator Buffers organ. The Hickory
paper seems confused in its notions to what the
party to which it belongs should do. In part il
states the situation in the State thus
We have no outlined policy. and many Of are
at loss what 70 say or what TO do Up TO the
present no meeting has been called TO outline uni
form action in the STATE the part Of our party.
Chairman Butler is for Bryan and Stevenson;
Thompson Is sitting the fence watching the dog
fight; Skinner Is saving wood and saying nothing;
Sassamon is for Barker and DOnnelly. The rank

number Will vote for Mckinley The fact last stated
has been generally overlooked
NO ISSUE BUT BRYANISDI.-Everybody knows
that business disturbance would follow the election
OF Bryan under natural laws and quite irrespective
or anything he or Congress might do For this
Organism. and sensible people will not vote
disturb existing conditions by voting to- substitute
Organism for McKinleyism- They may not Ike
either, but being obliged 10 choose between Them,
they will take that which have its evil
rected rather than that which Will inevitably brig
any real compensation A free people may some
times vote for political revolution nOtwithstand-
ing the temporary suffering caused thereby. Il
there is some great and benehcent purpose to be
attained in the end But there Is adequate rea-
why the American people should vote
close their mills and workshops in order that the
party which has disfranchised the negroes OF Jha
South may be given the administration of affairs
in the Philippines and be permitted 70 make ruin
experiments with the currency of the Nation.
