HE WILL STAND WITH HANNA.

New York, Aug. Ex-senator William
NJ. Stewart of Nevada called at Re
publican headquarters today and said
he had decided to vote for President
Mckinley. He made a statement in
part as follows:
1.-THE United States went to war with
Spain urged on by the Democratic
party. The popularity of the war was
such that Mr.. Bryan Joined the army.
The war was successful, a treaty Of
peace was entered into whereby the
United States agreed to pay $50, 900 900
and accept the sovereignty and public
property of Spain in the Philippine ar
chipelagO. There was opposition TO the
ratification of the treaty. Mr. Bryan
came to Washington and persuaded
his Democratic friends to vote for the
treaty, and it was through his infiU-
ence that the treaty was finally rati-
fed.
1T then became the duty of the
/ United States 20 maintain law and or
der and protect the lives and property
Of all residents in the islands, whether
native or foreign born. The United
States at the time of the ratification
OF the treaty held military possession
of Manila and Immediately after such
ratification assumed the sovereignty Of
the islands. The people of the United
! States, particularly of the Pacific coast,
became entitled 10 the vast commerce
lOf the Pacific ocean, OF which the
/ Philippines furnish the key.
Scores Aguinaldo.
Zone Aguinaldo had raised a rebel
! lion in LuzOn against Spain before the
| commencement of the Spanish war
with the United States. This adven-
4 turer had sold out or settled his re-
| belliOn with Spain for 100000 before
/ Dewey set sail for Manila. and as a
/ part of the bargain with Spain Aguin-
/ aldo agreed TO leave the islands and
/ never return.
! Dewey took the willy AguinaIdO back
] to the islands, suppOSing, as matter
/ of course, that AguinaldO would nat
/ Urally be an enemy of Spain and
1 friend of the United States In this
! Admiral Dewey was mistaken Aguin-
aldo. as soon as he landed on his native
/ soil, organized a rebellion against the
l United States which would have been
of little consequence If he had not
/ been able to obtain comfort and aid IN
/ this country. An organization was
/ formed in the United States called the
] Anti-Imperialist League, which has for
/ the last two years cO-ODerated with
/ AguinaldOs Tagal junta, with
/ headquarters at HOngkOng, to sup
ply literature and materials Of
war for AguinaldO.
Mckinley Gould Not Buy Him OF.
president Mckinley had no author
ity to buy out AguinaIdO's rebellion
against the United States, but was
bound bY the treaty (Which was the
| supreme law of the Iand) TO maintain
| law and order and protect life and
! property in the islands It required a
large army and the expenditure Of
] hundreds of millions of dollars 10 put
! down AguinaIdO'S rebellion. The assist
| ance and the Encouragement he receiv-
ed from the Anti-ImDerialiSt league and
the enemies of the United States, both
| at home and abroad, made his bar
| barOus and irregular war bloody and
expensive. Congress, however, made
all necessary appropriations, providing
for the executive men and money "a

States in the Philippines.
Decries the Anti-Imperialist.
''The so-calIed anti-imDerialists de-
cIared that the policy pursued by the
| government TO put down the rebellion
and maintain law and order in all ter
| ritOrieS of the United States without
/ regard 10 the time Wlen SuCn LcfiLloLlrS
were acquired. as imperialism and that
anv use Of the army 10 maintain law
and Order-hOwever neceSSary-WaS
'militarism,' and that giving aid and
comfort to rebels in arms against the
United States was maintaining the
principles of the Declaration of hide
Dendence'
Denunciation For Bryan.
''By Bryan's unparalleled campaign
for the principles Of the Chicago plat
form, and his insistence upon the adop-
ton of that platform at Kansas CITY,
induced the people TO suppose that the
| campaign Of 1900 would be conducted
on the issues of 1896 In this II seems
they were mistaken"
