GENERAL BUCKNER
DECLARES FOR MCKINLEY


General Simon B. Buckner, Of
Kentucky, who, in 1896, was the
candidate for Vice President on
the National Democratic ticket,
has returned from a trip abroad.
He said:
1.-THE advices that I have re-
ceived from Kentucky make me
believe that the Mckinley Elec-
tors will receive a majority of the
votes cast in that State.
'The real, simon-pure Demo
Gratis of Kentucky, have no SYM
pathy with either Organism or
Goebelism. Bryan, in his trip
through Kentucky, identified
himself with Goebelism and drove
away from his support the real
Democracy Of the State. The
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan on the
Kansas City platform is in oppo-
sition to the principles of true
Democracy, and his election
would be a menace to civil liberty.
am not going to take the stump
for anybody, but shall do what
I can to secure the reelection of
Mr.. Mckinley.
"The Goebel law is a remarkable
measure. While the vote for
Governor in many precincts was

can insidious attempt is made
to create prejudice against the
advocates of a safe and sound
currency by the insinuation,
more or less directly made, that
they belong to financial and bust
ness classes, and are therefore not
only out of sympathy with the
common people of the land, but
for selfish and wicked purposes
are willing to sacrifice the inter
ests of those outside their circle.
sit is a time for the American
people to reason together as mem
bers of a great nation which can
promise them a continuance Of
protection and safety only so long
as it's solvency is unsupported, its
honor unsullied and the sound
ness of its money unquestioned.
"The discredit or depreciation
in the financial centers of any
form of money in the hands of
the people is a signal of immedi-
ate loss everywhere.
"If reckless discomfort and
wild experiment should sweep
our currency from it's safe sup
port, the most defenseless of all
who suffer in that time Of distress
and national discredit will be the
poor, as they reckon the loss in
their scanty support, and the
laborer or workingman as he sees
the money he has received from
his toll shrink and shrivel in his
hand when he tenders it for the
necessaries of the humble home"
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1900-11-02

Edward S. Bragg, soldier,
statesman and lifelong Demo-
crat, came out squarely Tor Pres
ident Mckinley in speech at the
Pabst Theater, Milwaukee, on
October 18th. He did more. He
exhorted the Gold Democrats, at
whose solicitation he publicly
made known his views, to do like
wise as a step essential to the
preservation OF national honor.
General Bragg said, among
other things:
1.-THE heart of this great peo-
pie has always beat loyal to the
government when the war trump
and will never tolerate, encour-
agement to public enemy, while
he is robbing, fighting, Staying
the brave men, your sons and
brothers, whom the government
has sent forth to do its mission,
whether that enemy be an En-
glishman or Mexican, a Spaniard
or a Filipino.
"The result of 80 is as a thrice
told tale. Wisconsin, never lack
ing in it's duty where State or
National honor is concerned, set
the badger stamp of condemna-
ton on Mr.. Bryan's 10 to 1, in
dorsed by over 100000 plurality.
Are you ashamed of this record,
and would you undo ite No, my
fellow badgers, we will stand to
our guns in the second battle as
we did in the first.
"He who knows Mr.. Bryan
knows that he has never aban-
doned 10 to 1. The carrying
into effect of his financial theo-
ries is the great purpose of his
life. He is honest, if not prac-

LEADING GERMAN DAILY
HAS LEFT w. j. BRYAN

The New York Stats Zeitung,
that some time ago supported
Bryan on the question Of impe-
rialism, has deserted his banner,
and come out squarely for Nc
Kinley. The cut Is the severest
Organism has yet received in the
East. The Stats zeftung admits
that the current Is strongly
against Bryan, and says there is
nothing in the Bryan cry Of inn
perialism and militarism. 1t is
against him on the money ques-
ton. The Stats zeitung is one
of the most powerful German pa
pers in the country.

GERMAN PAPER LEAVES
BRYAN

The German Tribune, of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, the only Ger
man paper published in that
Stats, has left Bryan's standard.
The reasons for the change are
that the Tribune believes in pros
perity and sound money, and
that the cry of imperialism" is
false. The Tribune supported
Bryan four years ago. It has a
circulation of $4,000 weekly all
over the State, and 5000 daily
in Leavenworth.
