During the winter of 1897 Mr. James Il eed
one of the leading citizens and merchants of
Clay, Clay Co., W, Va, struck his leg against
a cake of ice in such manner as to bruise it
severely. 1t became very much swollen and
panied him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used several kinds
whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave any
relief until he began using Chamberlain 5
Pain Balm This brought almost Il complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain Balm is
unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheuma-
tism. For sale by all druggists.

that would soften the objections to
his fallacies, and induce the public to
turn a political somersault of such
magnitude as the adoption of free
silver. He has talked a great deal,
but he has restated the argument
which four years ago possessed some
novelty and interest. The rest of his
proposed platform is the veriest polit-
ical claptrap, prepared to deceive
the unthinking or disorderly element
among the voters, or to prejudice the
public mind against the great work
of the administration. When anal
yzed it is found to be little more
than fly specks on the frame of great
painting. That there are such
specks few will deny; every fair-mind-
ed person will, however, concede that
the administration, when the mighty
problems it has had to solve are con-
sidered, has made fewer and lighter
blunders than were reasonably to be
expected, and has so administered
the trust reposed in it as to have
very much less fear of being defeated
this year by Mr.. Bryan, with his
bogus currency and his platitudes,
than it had four years ago.

THURSDAY, JUNE IA, 1900.
FOR CONGRESS:
GEORGE A. PEARRE.
The People Not to be Deceived.

We shall probably know later on
the issues of the campaign from a
Democratic standpoint. They make
a great cry over expansion" already
an acknowledged fact; and, as is well
known, large number of even the
ablest of their number, are and al
ways have been, in favor of legitimate
expansion, as the term is generally
understood.
Regarding trusts, or the unlawful
combination of capital, is an old, yet
interesting party cry. Wherever
such combinations are injurious to
the public, not only the Republicans,
but the people generally, are unalter-
ably opposed to them. How to law
fully reach and destroy, to the extent
of doing away with the evil, is prob
lem which the Republican party is
quite as anxious to solve as the Dem
ocratic organization can possibly be.
In Cuba a wonderful amount of
creditable labor has been accomplish
ed, and, in spite of the demoralizing
work in the postal service-which is re-
GREETED by all, because of the humilia-
ton to us as a Nation-the Admins
tration has done much to be COM
mended.
A party battle-cry based upon the
shortcomings of handful of men of
hitherto good standing, will certainly
not prove overinspiring.
To be brief, it looks as though the
Democrats mean-in view of the fact
that silver, the principal issue of 1896,
is admittedly dead-to conduct their
campaign on a sort of tAnything-t
beat the Republicans" platform, to
be reconstructed largely after the ill
fated Chicago production of four
years ago.
The country, under a Republican
administration, has prospered as
never before, and with a continuance
of the conduct of public affair under
the able and wise leadership of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the people can safely
look for years of continued pros
perity.
The frequent use of catchword
phrases by the Democrats will not be
sufficient to serve public opinion or
change voters views as to what will
be best for them and the same time
most helpful for the country's good.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-06-14
The Campaign.

Speculation concerning the result
of a presidential campaign is rife
just before the meeting of the nomi-
mating conventions, and sometimes
there is disposition to attach i'm
portance to them. These forecasts
grow out of the prejudices and hopes
of those who give them utterance.
They imagine that they have caught
the tone of impression of the public,
but that part of the public with
which they are most familiar is in
sympathy with them and thinks as
they do. The only passably accurate
forecast of a campaign is that which
canvasses the electors, and even that,
made five months before the election,
may be altogether misleading.
Public sentiment has been known to
change two or three times during a
campaign, and to be so nearly diyid-
ed at the close that nothing but, Off
cial count could relieve anxiety.
An estimate, therefore, of the result
of the campaign of 1900, based on the
speculations of the moment, must be
wholly untrustworthy, while an esti-
mate based on a comparison of politi-
cal facts generally known and con-
ceded, though it may not be entirely
reliable, cannot fail to be suggestive.
1t is impossible to decide beforehand
how the people will vote, but it is
reasonable to infer that they will not
condemn their own work, especially
when such condemnation may pro-
duce the gravest consequences, and
when there is no PROPAGATION what
ever for such qualification. The peo-
pie, by an overwhelming majority,
declared four years ago for sound
money. That was the issue. Bryan
was fresh and strong and enthusiast
tic, and presented the silver issue in
its most attractive form. 1t was not
the man, but his doctrines, which
the people disliked, and nothing has
happened in four years to cause the
people to believe in his financial
heresies more than they did 1896.
Bryan has achieved nothing mean
while to make himself more attrac-
tive. He has done no public service
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-06-14

all power of regulation and restric-
ton to the many States, which can
contrive new laws faster than any
one court can detect and denounce
their unsoundness. But all who wish
to see full protection for industrial
development, and also for the people
against oppression, will realize that
the short road is to empower one leg
islative body, the Congress of the
United States, to enact such laws
subject to the decision of the Su-
preme Court as to their constitution
ality. In the light of these facts the
nearly unanimous vote OF Democrats
to exercise without any grant powers
never yet claimed by Congress, with
their nearly unanimous vote against
an amendment granting to Congress
such powers, will rank as one of the
most shameless exhibitions of modern
political history.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-06-14

and reputation of the Messrs. Ham
bleton so regard Bryan as the nomi-
nee of his own particular element of
the party, it is proof positive that
they will never accept him as their
candidate. Ordinary common sense
and the smallest fraction of political
acumen forbids thought of such a
thing. 1t is all the more impossible
because, instead of disavowing the
Chicago platform, Bryan persists in
reasserting it. The widest fight of
the imagination cannot fancy the
spectacle of Bryan being supported
by the Gold Democrats.-Balti
American
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1900-06-14

In Democracy William J. Bryan is
a radical of the ultra variety. While
he has been trying to hedge a little
on his radicalism during the past few
months, he still stands as absolutely
and irreconcilably opposed to every
thing in which the conservative or
Gold Democrats believe. For this
reason we are prone to believe that
the report that the Gold Democrats
will accept Bryan if he will disavow
the Chicago platform is the idlest of
all idle gossip. No disavowal Bryan
could make would be sufficient to
harmonic his principles with those
of the Democracy as they were before
he took hold of it. He has gone to
lengths from which he cannot recede,
and none recognize this more than do
the deeper thinkers among the Gold
Democrats.
Below is a sample of the way in
which Bryan is regarded by represent
ative Gold Democrats, Messrs. Ham
bleton & Co., of this city. In the
weekly circular this firm issues some
attention is paid to politics, and last
week this letter in discussing Bryan
as the nominee of the regular Democ-
racy, said:
1.-The advocacy of Bryan for the
presidency by one of the two political
parties is positive menace to the pre-
servation and existence of all the fl
nancial, commercial and merchantile
institutions of this country.
I'VE are sick and tired of Mr.. Bryan
and all that he represents, and we
hope that an indignant and long-suf-
fering people will give him such a
quietus next November as to remove
him for all time from the field of pres
idential aspirants."
If Gold Democrats of the standing
