WEBSTER DAVIS.

In Webster Davis's withdrawal from
the republican party and entrance into
the ranks of democracy there were re-.
vealed single minded devotion to prin-
ciple and nobility of soul making sac.
rifice preferable to qualification, which
is good and wholesome for humanity to
contemplate.
AS this earnest young Missourian de-
clared, in his speech before the Demo.
cratic National Convention in Kansas
City. he has nothing to hope for in the
wayof personal political profit or future
party distinction from his change Of
party. The Office under the Mckinley
administration, which he resigned when
his plea for recognition Of the justice of
the Boer cause fell unheeded on Mr.. Nc
Kinley's ears, is bigger than any the
democratic party can give him. His
former party associates will now revile
and upbraid him as renegade. His
place in the democratic ranks will be an
humble place. He has cut short what
promised to be brilliant public Greer,
his reason being that his love of liberty
forbade his remaining in party which
sanctioned the crushing of liberty.
Missouri democrats and members of
that fine old party throughout the whole
B Union should take Webster Davis by
the hand and welcome hin to their
ranks as a blood brother. The man is a
born democrat. The fiber Of sound
America anism is in his soul. He has tes-
tilted 10 his democracy and to his Amer
icanism as the martyrs of old testified
to their faith.

A SERIOUS FACT.

That MIR. Bryan is very serious per-
son to deal with in politics is plainly in
evidence every day. The great thunder
ing party organs of the east have learn
ed to fear and respect the man they
once spoke Of as the "boy orator of the
Platte" and the versatile humorists ad-
mirably apt in detecting the humorous
of its own cousin, the ridiculous, in
public men, is baffied by this strong
personality in love with right, even to
the verge of fanaticism, and no more a
subject for ridicule than the other
Washington of an older day. In this
man nov the choice of millions of free
men. and well worthy of the distinction,
wit seeks in vain for mark against
which todirect its polished shaft and
humor, respecting nothing that it can
laugh at, throws down its dart, and
seeks an opening in the armor of some
less impervious persons. To have such
standard bearer ata time when red
Moloch seems about to loose his dogs
and plunge the world in war, is cir.
cumstance whose great significance will
be seen more plainly as the great crisis
comes nearer. Contrast, if you will,
this chief of democracy, brave, un-
wavering, solemn and conscientious.
with that semblance of man. selected
solely because at Canton in the day of
his greatest gloom, there came to him
an evil ilspirit and strong, who said, if
you will but fall down and worship me.
and serve the spirits that are Of my
kind, ! will lit you up and place YOU
on the uttermost pinacle of Ambition's
earthly tower, and the tried and troubled
spirit, weak and weary, heard the al
Turing promise, and listening was
charmed, and being charmed, fell like
Lucifer, never to rise again. and the
tempter, now the master, made him put
his hands between his knees and prom.
ise to be his man forever. If you can
prefer the peon to the freeman, the un.
stable and changeable, to the firm and
conscientious. the timid exponent Of
wavering expediency to the champion
OF openly expressed principles, then
cast your ballot for him who sis every
thing at times, and nothing long,, and
leave thesupport Of the Great N Nebraskan
to men who love him most for the prin.
ciples he represents and the wrongs he
opposes. Ottumwa Democrat.

GERMANS FOR BRYAN.

Col. Joseph Eiboeck, of Des Moines
editor of the Iowa Staats-Anzeiger, the
official organ of the German voters o
Iowa, announces that this year he will
support Bryan and Stevenson. In 1885,
Col. Eiboeck refused to support the
Bryan ticket. He says: 81 am a
democrat. Whenever it is possible
l will support the democratic ticket
This year it is not only possible
but the duty of every American voter
to support Bryan and Stevenson.
l am not an advocate of the free-coinage
of silver at the ratio of l6 to l but that
issue has been practically laid aside.
The Kansas City platform makes imper.
ialism the leading issue and all who are
opposed to imperialism and militarism
can easily unite in support Of the dem.
ocratlc platform. am not an admirel
of Mr.. Bryan, although consider him q
strong man. l have lived ins Germany,
where have seen its evils. We have
already increased our standing army to
hold conquered islands in subjection,
How long will the present number be
sufficient, and will it not be necessary to
send more soldiers to the Philippines
in short time? l do not believe in q
policy of imperialism. Militarism is re.
pulsive to me. cannot support the re.
publican ticket this fall for these reasons,
/ regard the money question as settled
practically for the next six years, and
there you are, of two evils l shall
choose the lesser, and shall support the
democratic ticket"
Colonel Eiboeck has travelled exten.
sively during recent weeks in the interest
OF his book. He has been In Burlington,
Ft. Madison and other eastern Iowa
cities, and in Chicago. Asked in regard
to the political feeling among German
Americans he said: what l have said
regarding my own attitude represents
the general sentiment of German Amer.
leans. They are opposed to Mckinley,
ism, imperialism, and militarism. They
will vote for Bryan and Stevenson this
fall. believing the monetary issue to be
settled for The present at least. Almost
unanimously the German Americana
who voted for Mckinley in 1896 will
vote for Bryan and Stevenson this fall. .

THE MENACE OF THE TRUSTS.

Men who did not think the question
i'm portant 1896 are now convinced that
the private monopoly has reached pro-
portions where it is dangerous to the
political as we'll as the industrial well
fare Of the nation.
AS various branches of industry are
passing into the hands of few great
magnates, the consumer Of finished

dncer of raw material, all realize that

small in comparison with the evils Of

VIRGINIA.
In the coming presidential election
there will be comparatively few Vir-
ginia democrats who will withhold al.
legiance from their party on account of
the free silver plank. Most of the gold
men will not take the course they took
last election.
KENTUCKY.
The gold democratic party in Ken.
lucky disintegrated. Some of the lead
ers, notably General Buckner, w. P. @.
Breckinridge and r. w. Knott, will
probably oppose Bryan. Senator Lind
say will take no part in the cam.

Henry Watterson and probably the
majority of the gold dem ocrats will sup.

silver issue is hopelessly dead despite
the l6 to declaration.
ALABAMA.
IT is very probable that the gold dem
ocrats will support the ticket nominated
in Kansas City. Leading newspapers
in this state unfavorable to the silver
plank are advising democrats to sup.
port the ticket. The majority for Bryan
and Stevenson will be larger than it was
four years ago.
GEORGIA.
The attitude of the gold men toward
the new democratic ticket has not de-
yeloped fully. If there is any antago-
nism it will not crystalize into an overt
demonstration, such as the Palmer
Buckner ticket. There will be no open
opposition and probably a great deal
of quiet cooperation from them, for
they believe fully in Bryan's honesty
and in the capability of Stevenson.

BRYAN ON THE PLATFORM.

After reading the platform Mr.. Bryan
dictated the following statement and
signed it:
II am very much gratltied to learn of
the adoption of platform which is clear
and explicit on every question. The
controversy over the silver plank was
not controversy between men who dit
fered in principle, but rather differ
ence of opinion as to the best method of
stating the question.
"lf we only had democrats to deal
with simple reaffirmation would have
been sufficient, but we have to deal with
the republicans as we'll as democrats.
and some of the republicans would mis-
construe leaffirmation and endeavor
to twist it~into an evasion or aban-
donment of the silver question.
Our appeal is to the patriotism and
conscience of the people, and we must
take them into our confidence if we ex-
pect them to have confidence in us.
Our platform deals honestly and fear
lessly with every question before the
public, and since we have nothing to
explain we can spend all our time in
assaults upon republican policies.
1.-The industrial trusts have alarmed
many who were not with US in our fight
against the money trust in 1896. We
shall not disappoint them; we shall not
cease our efforts until every private
monopoly is destroyed!
imperialism appeals to many as she
most dangerous of evils now menacing
our country. 1t involves not only a
change in our ideas of government hut a
return to the militarism of the old world /.
No matter how men may differ as to the
relative importance Of the, question ow
before the country, every one must rec
ognise that an economic evil can be cor.
rected more easily than one which at
tacks the foundations of government
If we adhere to the principle that gov.
ernment is thing made by the people
for themselves. the people can in time
remedy every wrong, but if that princi-
pie is once surrendered the people are
powerless to redress any grievance.
"Six and one-half millions supported
the Chicago platform in 1896 like solid
wall against the trusts and against inn
perialism. If ten per cent. of those who
by voting the republican ticket brought
the present dangers upon the country
will but join with us now this nation will
once more become the champion of lib.
erty and inspiration to the oppressed
everywhere. WILLIAMJ. BRyAN.''

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.

The gold democrats are returning to
the fold. The majority iof them are
satisfied with he regular democratic
ticket this year, and, believing that
the money issue is no longer live one,
will take an active part in. the campaign
on newer and what they believe to be
at this time more important issues
anti-imperialism and anti-trnsts. y
The New York Journal has secured
expressions Of opinion on the ticket
and platform from gold democratic
leaders all over the country Some
few Of them still stick to their own
ideal and declare their dissatisfaction,
but the most of them express their de.
termination to work heartily for the
election of Bryan and Stevenson and
against McKinleyism. Following are
some of the opinions:
ILLINOIS.
Regarding the attitude of the gold
democrats toward the democratic tick
ct, Judge Thomas A. Morgan, promi-
nent gold democrat, said:
"In my opinion, the gold democrats
generally will support the democratic
ticket. The fact that the silver plank
has been inserted in the platform will
not afect the gold democrats, who
favor Bryan and Stevenson. They feel
that the silver issue is dead and cannot
be revived, although it has been given
place in the platform"
Here are some opinions by Illinois
gold democrats:
Herman Vanderploeg, lawyer, Nc
Kinley man four years ago: II shall
support the Bryan ticket. The l6-to-l
plank will not cut much figure during
the campaign"
John 2. Hopkins. former mayor and
gold democrat: 81 am in line. Silver
is no longer an issue, and we are all
going to be in line.'
Roger Sullivan, gold democrat: .The
ticket is an enviable one. The nomina.
ton Of Mr.. Bryan was of course, in
evitable, and Mr.. Stevenson is an ideal
candidate. lie will satisfy the conserv-
atives."
julius Golkzier, democratic leader of
the city council. gold democrat, and a
prominent German-American: sBryan
and Stevenson will go before the coun-
try as the representatives Of principle
that is as old as the nation. They will
fight the same battle that Washington
and Jefferson fought over 100 years
ago."
Sigmund seister: II was 4 gold dem.
ocres,and did a good dsa,,' ia, re Il stnrn bin !.
for Mckinley. This year have decided
to support the democratic ticket and
vote for Bryan and Stevenson"
INDIANA
AT least 80 per cent. of the gold DEM
ocrats of Indiana will support Bryan
| this year. This is a conservative esti-
mate made by the chairman of the dem.
ocra!ic state committee and by mem.
bers of the gold organization. There
will be no state organization or ticket.
The gold democrats express themselves
as being we'll pleased with the nomina.
