II shall vote for Mckinley this year
I voted for him four years ago and
shall do the same now. l am Demo-
crat, and when the Democratic party
comes back TO my way of thinking l
will be with them again.
G. l.. Randall, Bridgewater, N Y
think 1t will be we'll to leave things
as they are. l don't think a change
would make it any better.
G. N. Neal, Bridgewater, n. VI am
a Democrat this year just the same as
always, but 1 am not in favor of free
not in favor of Bryan. The times are
good enough without taking any
chances on change
| William H. Barron, Brdgewater. n
VI am going to vote the Republican
ticket this year. We are getting along
all right just as it is. A change would
not be any improvement. l am very
much interested in Nj. Brownell's can
didacy and shall do all can to help
| him. =
Byron Rose, sauquoit, N. VI lived
in Utica until while ago, and when
there marched with the Jacksonians
and voted the Democratic ticket. This
year l shall vote for Mckinley for
President The times are good enough
just as they are without any change.
c. L. Bowen, Sauquoit, N. VI used
to be Democrat, and suppose I am
counted so now. but in these times
am Republican. What is the use of
voting for Bryan and make things
worse than they were under Cleveland?
The times are good enough now

dent Cleveland: Il have always been
stlckler for party, never having voted
any other than a Democratic ticket.
shall now support the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. l have
many reasons for such action but at
present will only attempt to refer to
one. Mr.. Bryan boldly and publicly
upholds the Philippine insurgents con-
demnlng the action of the administra-
ton, commencing the action of the in
surgent leader, Aguinaldo, and giving
US to understand he is following the
example Of Washington. If this is not
treason, what is it? The boom of can
non, the roar of musketry, the clash Of
bers-the battle is on. Perish the
politician who in time of war opposes
country, right or wrong"

E. c. Benedict, Greenwich Conn.
When asked to contribute to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund wrote: Il re-
greet to find no party in existence whose
platform supports Democratic princi-
pies to any degree. Four years ago
our state sent delegates to the Chicago
convention as representatives OF un-
questioned Democratic principles.
They were outvoted in the national
convention which promulgated a plat
form Of doctrines almost wholly at
variance Herewith and committed an
objectionable crime when they used
our good name as a label Therefore
would as soon think of contributing
to lot of Chinese who have captured
our Christian churches, set up therein
the teachings of Confucius as the COS
pei and painfully conspicuous Joss
to worship instead Of the unseen God,
and without changing the names OF the
churches call themselves . regular
Christians

Mr.. Hartmann has always been a sound |
money man and Was forced to bolt the |
Democratic national ticket in 90, it'll
was not until his recent visi. to the |
old country and because of what he |
saw and heard there that he deter
mined TO cut loose altogether from the |
party of Bryan. While" says Mr.. |
Hartmann, II love the Fatherland as
the place of my birth, must now as
an American citizen place the interests |
OF the United States first | am not a |
politician, but if the people of foreign |
countries see in Bryan's election a cut
ting off of this trade from our mer-
chants and manufacturers ethen 1T is |
easy to see with w ich party the best
interest of this country lies" Mr.. Hart |
mann knows of two other business men
of Wisconsin who Went over to Europe
Democrats and came back Republicans
One Of them is a Well known Manito-
VOC merchant, the other lives in Port
Washington. Mr.. Hartmann believes
that more Germans will vote for Nc
kinley this year than did in '96, as they
are all strongly against the upsettng
of either the monetary system of the
country or trade conditions.

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS
ABANDONING BRYAN

Charles H. Schweizer. Lacrosse,
Wis. Formerly chairman of the Dem
IOcratlc City Committee and city attor
|ney: Il have never been Republican
and | have never been and am not now
in accord with Mr.. Bryan and his plat
| form. Being convinced that Mr.. Bry-
an S election would result in disaster
TO the country at large, presently or
ultimately | must refuse to aid or lend
comfort in any way TO doctrines which
are so pregnant with evils. Nor can |
find in the issue OF imperialism any
real excuse for supporting Mr. Bryan
and implicitly endorsing his financial
and Populistic heresies, an issue
raised to distract s the attention
of the voter, and especially Gold
Democrats from these falacies the
dangers of which were so thor
oughly exposed in the last election.
The best interests of the country de-
mand at this time the defeat of Mr..
Bryan and his principles. l feel, there
fore, that it is my duty to exert what
little influence l may command in op-
posing his election, and to cast my
vote as my convictions dictate, for Nc
kinley and Roosevelt"
| John Johnston, cashier of the Marine
National Bank of Milwaukee, formerly
the Wisconsin Marine Bank, the oldest
banking institution in the West, and
Alfred James, president of the North
western National Fire Insurance Com
pany both leaders Of the Wisconsin
Democracy, have declared for Presi
dent Mckinley. Messrs. Johnston and
James have always been stalwarts of
the party. They declare that many
other Democratic business men are 60
ing to desert the Democratic party be-
fore the campaign is over. Mr. Johnston
said: Yes am Republican, for the
lpresent, at least. In 1896, when Bryan
was nominated at Chicago, free silver
was made the issue of the campaign I
was opposed to free silver then, and
have been ever since the issue was first
presented to the American people. I
think, We're legislation enacted author
izing the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to l, the country would soon
go to ruin. l am stanch advocate
Of expansion. l am thoroughly con-
WINGED the acquisition of foreign terri

that he should support Mckinley
and the Republican ticket this year
and will take the stump to advocate
the election Of Mckinley. He stated
that he did so because he was OPP

be called a Populist, and that he
