CARNEGIE SWALLOWS MCKINLEY.

Andrew Carnegie is hot sup
porter of Mr.. Mckinley. There
was at one time some danger that
he might favor Mr.. Bryan. On the
18TH, Of February 1900, he gave
the New York World the following
statement of his views on the Phil
ippine War:
"The Philippine burden is not
chargeable TO war. This is the
Presidents own Pandora box. his
New Years gift TO his country. for
which he alone is responsible
Neither Congress nor the people
had any voice in the matter. But
one need not wonder why he should
now attempt to evade the RESPONSE
bility, since he tells us that "every
red drop, whether from the veins OF
an American soldier or a misguided
Filipino, is anguish TO his heart "
His conscience smites him. No
wonder. The guilty Macbeth also
cried out "Thou canst not say I
did IT," Whether the aquisition OF
the Philippines was wise or foolish,
they are upon our hands, not BIZ war,
But BY THE PRESIDENTS OWN ACT.
and he had better stand up like a
man and assume the responsibility.
asking his countrymen to forgive
his mistake If he now sees he has
made one"
Now he swallows Mckinley.
Philippines and all lie illustrates
the declaration in the Good Book
that il is harder for camel to 90
through the eye Of needle than for
rich men Of the Carnegie type to
enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven.

A ROHRING TINE.

There are no better Democrats In
the world than those out about
Rohr, and last Saturday they did
themselves proud by getting up one
of the best meetings held in the
county this campaign. The Repub-
licans out there had a big rally the
Saturday before and raised a flag on
two poles, and the Democrats,
though few were determined to Guido
them, and they did by putting up
one of the prettiest hickory poles we
ever saw, and at least a third taller
than the Republican pole, and the
flag much larger also, with a long
streamer with Bryan and Stevenson
on it and small flag on the top OF
the pole. The day was beautiful
one and the roads fine, and the PEG
pie came from all around that coun-
try, so that there were about four
hundred present, the majority being
Republicans. II. d. Carroll, OF
Herring, was Chairman of the meet
ing, which was addressed by J.
Slidell Brown. Several Republicans
were drunk and disorderly and tried
to interrupt the meeting, which went
on all the same. Two drunken Re
Publicans finally got into a fight and
fell through the big show windows
of Geo. w. Rohr's store, smashing
them out 1t was a joke on Rohr,
as he is the leading Republican Out
there, to have his own party hood.

they could to keep it down. There
were Democrats present from Mo.

CAMPAIGN JorruNGs.

In 1896 the vote and influence of
the commercial travellers of the
country was given to Mckinley,
and it has often been alleged that
this was the deciding influence Of
the last national campaign. This
year the travelling men are almost
unanimously for Bryan and they
are working as hard for him as they
did for Mckinley in 1896. Perhaps
no other sign of the times is more
significant than the attitude of uni
travelling men in this campaign.
In 1896 large proportion of the
prohibition vote of the countrv
was cast for Mckinley, under
mistaken impression. This
year every prohibition vote not
given to Bryan will undoubtedly be
cast for Mr.. Wooley. Certainly
Mckinley will receive none of them.
In addition to which, one great
religious society has deemed il nee
essary to start an endless chain of
prayer against the reelection of the
present incumbent of the White
House, and this will certainly af-
feet thousands of church yoters
who gave him their support four
years ago.
And then there are the thousands
OF conscientious and patriotic Re-
publicans who have been compelled
to renounce their party, or its can
didate. because of the bold and plar-
ing corruption which has marked
Its administration of public affairs.
and who will this year vote and work
Tor MIR. Bryan. This condition is
something unprecedented in Ameri-
can politics and is in itself more
than sufficient to overcome the small,
adverse popular majority against
Bryan four years ago.
AS against this tremendous and
overwhelming change in popular
sentiment in faver of the Democratic
national ticket, the Republicans
have nothing to fix their hope ON
except Hanna's eoy,nbfion fund
And this will not suffice. Fou,
years ago every man who could be
bought or coerced was handled bv
the Republican managers. They
can do no worse this year. But the
elements mentioned above. who
have joined the Democratic ranks
since 1896, are not purchase Bile.
they have come over to the Demo-
cratic Party and its candidates from
principle and are in the fight to stav.
These are the true elements of
American greatness, because thew
represent the best citizenship. the
hig hest thought and the truest
conscience of the American people.
The issue is sharply defined between
the Republic and the Empire and
the people will win, as they have
always won every great politica.
battle in our history. The BRYAN
tidal wave is sweeping over the
whole country, gaining strength
every hour.

HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN.

Twenty-slx years ago President
Mckinley, then a young man OF
high moral purpose, just commenc-
ing his career, was made chairman
of the no-license Campaign com
mittee of Stark county, o. He
wrote an address to the voters OF
that county in which he declared
that "The liquor traffic is the most
ruinous of all human pursuits" He
also said that "the man who voted
for license became a partner in the
business and responsible for the
evils which resulted from it," Tha,
was true then and it is true now.
We have no doubt that VIM. Nc.
Kinley believed it was the truth
when he wrote it we have no doubt
he believes it still. But ever since
ne entered public life he has been
trimmer always putting his
personal ambition above moral
principles. When Governor of
Ohio and since he became President
he has been a shameful trucker to
the liquor power and deserves the
rebuke Of every self.respectine
citizen. The Cornerstone.

Bryan asks the following ques-
tons which we hope the Journal
will answer in its next issue. These
questions are Of vital interest to the
American people, who would like
to know how the Republican party
will answer them. The national
Democratic platform says explicitly
what that party thinks. Here are
the questions
What is your title to the Filipi-
nor Did you buy him or did you
get him by force2
Do you think you can buy the
right to govern people ?
What are you going to do with
the Filipino when you get him ?
Are you going to kill him ?
We'll, you cannot do that. be.

a SIGNIFICANT SILENCE
On the Part Of the Republican Com

Evidently do Not Want 10 Assist In the
Prosecution OF Illegal yoters-The
Pull Text Of the Letter Sent ON the
Isth Inst, and Which Yet Remains
Unanswered.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. a.
There is now little room for doubt
that the truthfulness of the charges
made that the Republican managers
In this State are conspiring to re-
tain the present administration in
power regardless of the means taken
to accomplish that end. In confir-
nation of these charges is the refu-
sal of Chairman Dawson, of the Re.
publican State Committee, to Join
with the Democratic chairman in an
effort to obtain an honest election
and fair count, and to prosecute
to the full extent of the law not only
illegal voters, but election of officers
who violate their oaths. Chairman
Miller offered to cooperate with him
70 TINS end, but though his letter
was dated Oct. 18th, and Mr.. Daw-
son has been in the city several DAYS
since that date, no reply has been
received, and his silence is growing
significant. The letter of Chairman
Miller is as follows
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. n

count and election. As one means

The popular demonstration for
VIM. J. Bryan wherever he has
appeared is proof positive that he
has increased the hold he had in
1896 upon the hearts of the people
and 1t requires less than one per
cent change in the vote Of 1896 to
elect him by an overwhelming
majority. He has maintained
himself as no other speaker ever
did on the stump and his receptions
have been without parallel in en-
thusiasm.

credence can scarcely be placed in
either. Both figure upon percen-

much in favor of the Democrats
that even the Democratic figures do
not probably give justice to the
strength of the Democratic candi-
