trade n painter and decorator. He is
a member OF Painters and Decorators
Union No. 63, of Portsmouth, and of
Union No. 60, of Norfolk. He has been

LABOR MEN WILL OPPOSE.
prominent labor leader, who was
present at the meeting. was interview
ed at it's close. He stated thu not ten
of the men present were from Norfolk,
and that nearly all OF them were from
Portsmouth.
He stated further that there will
probably be meeting of workingmen

be passed condemning the action of

apparent TO show that both Messrs.
Flynn and Williams will fail to get
a large share of the labor vote.

REVOLT OF THE GERMANS.

The Republican managers are very
much alarmed at the unmistakable
slump of the German American vote to
Bryan, and they are using every means
in their power to turn the tide. For
many years after the civil war the Ger
man citizens of this country were al
most solldly arrayed with the Republi-
can party. A serious division, however,
occurred among them before Mckinley
was elected four years ago, but the
new alignment of the German vote in
the last two years has amounted prac-
tically to a revolt against the Republi-
can party. Nearly every eminent Ger
man-American is now found in oppos-
itlon to the Mckinley administration;
the great majority of German-Ameri-
can newspapers are on the same line.
and every day brings fresh evidence
that by far the larger proportion of
our German fellows citizens will give
their votes and their influence to Bry-
an and Stevenson next November.

Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia Kan.
"My neighbor across the street was sick

used them for three or four days with
out relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and gave
him no relief, SO discharged him. l
went over to see him the next morning.
He said his bowels were in a terrible
fix, that they had been running off so
long that it was almost bloody flux.

DEMOCRACY MUST BE UNITED.

The platform adopted by the Demo
cratic National Convention in 1896
made the free coinage of silver the
leading issue. If Mr.. Bryan had been
elected at that time and the House of
Representatives had contained major
ity pledged to silver, free coinage leg
istation could and probably would have
been enacted. The platform adopted at
Kansas City last month makes imperial
ism the paramount issue. It is true that
the platform also contains specific de-
claratlon for free coinage, but it is
equally true that there can be no free
coinage as long as the Senate is con-
troIled by the Republicans. The
highest authorities on finance in the
Republican party have agreed that the
currency legislation enacted at the last
session of Congress will maintain the
standard as long as the act remains on
the statute books. The law cannot be
repealed as long as the Republicans
are in the majority in the Senate.
Free coinage, therefore, in this cam
paign is scarcely more than an academ-
ic question. It was political bIunder
to put the silver declaration in the
Kansas City platform, but its presence
in the platform does not make it live
question. With gold standard Sen
ate to hold a silver President and
House in check free coinage is certain
ly not a practical issue for the time
being. The platform of 1896 related
exclusively to domestic questions, The
platform of 1900 makes wars of con-
quest, forcible annexation of territory,
and imperial tendencies in govern
ment the paramount issue. There are,
therefore, abundant reasons why Dem
ocrats who refused to go with their
party in 1896 should make common
cause with 1t this year on the new and
important issue now before the people.
"When," as that sturdy Gold Demo
crat, Gen Collins, of Boston, recently
said, "the integrity as we'll as the hon
or of the republic is in peril all minor
questions disappear or wait until safe
ty of the state is assured"

MILNE WITH ITS PARTY.

For many days after the meeting of
the Democratic National Convention at
Kansas City the New York World
seemed to be in doubt as to whether it
should give its support to the Demo
cratic ticket. The mastery speech of
Mr.. Bryan at Indianapolis against i'm
perialism has brought the World in line
with its party and it is now supporting
Bryan with the same vigor that it OPP
posed him four years ago. The posi-
ton taken by she World has caused
thousands of gold Democrats who voted
for Mckinley in 1896 to announce their
purpose to vote the Democratic ticket
this year.
