CAPT. WIN. E. ENGLISH.
What a Democratic Paper Says of His
Leaving the Democratic Party.
From the National Democrat, Sept. $4,000

(From the National Democrat, Sept. s., 19OO)
Capt. William E. English, of Indi-
annapolis, once a Democratic leader of
the state, and son of the Hon. William
H. English, candidate for vice presi-
dent, with Gen. W. S. HAMMOCK
twenty years ago, has turned his back
for Mckinley and the whole Republi-
can ticket.
Capt. English gives good reasons for
his change of heart. 1t has been grow
ing upon him gradually. He did not
vote for Bryan in 1896 because he
could not indorse 16-to-1 heresy. He
says he cannot stay with his party
when it insists second time in fore
ing upon the people issues they do not
want. Besides, Capt. English has
patriotic blood in his veins. He offer
ed his services to the government at
the outbreak of the Spanish war and
made good record in Cuba He
fully approves of the Mckinley policy
of expansion and can cheerfully in
dorse all of the administration acts
in conducting the war with Spain, and
later in the subsection of the Filipino
rebellion. So Capt. English, conclud-
ing that he stands upon the Republi-
can platform, comes out manfully and
says he will support the Republican
nominees for president and vice presi-
dent.
The political stand taken by Capt.
English at this time will have great
influence throughout Indiana in caus-
ing many young Democrat to con-
slider we'll the proposition as to whether
he can support Bryan with his Popu-
listic theories of government. There
will be some defections from theDemo-
cratic ranks as the campaign progress

plause. Fellow citizens, let me say
to you, let's be frank about it. We
had little with us when we came eX-
cept strong hands and noble hearts and
good brains. We had no money. the
most of us came over on borrowed
money for the passage price. Now, 1
have seen these same Swedes from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada
down to the gulf, and lived in some of
their own homes. They are pros
porous, all of them, some Of them 60

of them own hundreds of thousands of
dollars, thousands are worth $40, 900
each. A business friend of mine and
myself tried to compute the wealth of
the Swedes in one of the western
states and before we got through with
half of the state we reached $780, 000,

thing by us, and so we will do the
fair thing by him, and we are going
to vote to keep Billy Mckinley where
he is, Great applause Forty years
ago on the 9th of November, this
country's integrity was saved by the
election of "Honest Abe of Illinois.
Forty years later, on the 9th of No

tegrity and prosperity will be saved
permanently for four years at least by
the reelection of Honest Bill of
Ohio. 1 say to you Mr.. Chairman, if
there is in this magnificent city of
yours one Swede who loves another
flag better than he loves Old Glory,
who thinks more of another country
than ours, who believes any other form
of government superior to the one we
are enjoying, start subscription list

fellow back to the place where he

SENATOR HANNA'S EPIGRAMS
Extracts From Speeches of the Republican
National Chairman.

''Boiled down, it is free silver and
free trade on one side and prosperity
and development on the other. -
''It is business proposition, wheth-
er or not the people OF this country
are going to undermine the basis OF our
prosperity. -
Gree silver and free trade would
consign this government to oblivion. .
There is not principle or policy
discussed in this campaign that the
people do not know more about than
does Bryan -
"Bryan was nominated because he
was the only man on whom all ele-
ments of socialism, Populism and
anarchy could unite.
"Will the people of this country
swap Mckinley, whose record shows
what he has done, for Bryan, whose
record shows nothing donef''
"Bryan puts his issues like game
cocks into the pit, one at time, and
fights them one at time for all they
are worth. His imperialism rooster
has been everlastingly thrashed, and
is dead
s'If Bryan is elected a hurricane of
disaster will sweep the country and
carry away every vestige of pros
perity.'
"What a remarkable acrobatic feat
William j. Bryan performed when
he proposed to extend the Monroe
Doctrine to the far east. Think of it
I Talk about Imperialism !? What could
be more imperialstic than maintain
ing an army and navy in the east to
protect Agiunaldo and his proposed
government
"All that any man needs to inquire
of himself today upon the issues in
this campaign is what is my best in,

WILLIAM T, BAKER.

William T. Baker, ex-president of
the Chicago board of trade, and of
the worlds fair, and one of the lead
ing Democrats of Chicago, has made
an open statement of his purpose to
vote for Mckinley this fall. In a
letter lately made public, he makes
powerful attack against Bryan, whom
he says personifes 16 to and lawless-
ness, and is the greatest "imperialist'
since Napoleon Bonaparte.
Mr.. Baker has been well known in
the past for his convictions in favor of
free trade and for his aggressive in
terest in the work of the national tariff
league. Mr.. Baker says, however,
that even the Democratic doctrine of
free trade has been abandoned for
principles that mean restriction of
trade, and, through the Populistic at
titude on TRUSTS, Limitation of
all successful enterprise within state
lines. 60 The letter is as follows:
Hon. M. A. Hanna, Chairman Re
publican National Committee-My
Dear Sir: The Democratic organiza-
ton has passed under the control of
public enemies, and no man who
holds to the traditional doctrines OF
the party is under the slightest OBJ
! legation to follow the present leaders.
| The policies that guided the party
from Jefferson to Cleveland have
been sidetracked for the isms of Popu-
| lists and anarchists Even free trade
has given way to Bryan promise that
he will recommend such additional
Legislation as may be necessary to
dissolve every private monopoly which
does business outside of the state of
its origin.
This could mean under Populistic
INTERPRETATION and control the limita-
! ton of all successful enterprise within
state lines not captivating program
to suggest at the moment when
American commerce is being pushed
beyond the seas The Democratic
crusade against expansion, termed
imperialism, " is an absolute sham,
a silly and hypocritical invention to
, divert attention from their revolution
ary purposes Expansion has been the
policy and practice of the American
people since the pilgrims landed on
, Plymouth Rock. and no man who I'M
| derstands the real spirit of our insti-
buttons can be frightened by the phan-
tom of Imperialism which Bryan has
conjured up for this campaign only.
Since Napoleon Bonaparte, there
has been no greater imperialist than
Bryan himself. His will is the law of
| the party that supports him, and, if
elected, he would endeavor to rule the
, entire nation with the same iron hand.
Napoleon deluged Europe in blood to
reach throne, and Bryan would not
] hesitate to wreck every industry in
the land to attain the presidency.
{ This talk of imperialism is like the
rattle of the snake that hurts nobody.

dangerous, and there you will find the
