BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

Strong candidates, truly Democratic
candidates, distinctly American candi-
dates. Both represent the best class IL
American life. Each successful, able,
simple in life, free from the modern
taints of plutocracy and privilege. Mr..
Bryan has received the votes of more
than six millions of his fellow citizens.
Mr.. Stevenson has been elected Vice
President of the United States. He is
a typical citizen of Illinois, a Democrat
of the old-fashioned kind. His brand
of Democracy goes back to the days of
spected throughout the country, His
name is one to lend dignity and conf
dence to any campaign with which it is
associated. These two men, as all must
admit, are thoroughly admirable types
of the successful, honest, capable
American. No man would hesitate to
select either as executor of his viii or
for any other position of trust.
If you decide to vote for them, you
will put in Office simple, able American
L
are tie same as yours. They have no
affiliations except with the people, and
no interests outside the public interest.
II you feel that a nation needs swash-
buckler as President of the Senate,
you will not vote for Mr.. Stevenson, of
course. But if you feel that dignified
and honored citizen Of this State, ma
ture in years and thought, is fit to pre-
side over the highest legislative body in
the world you will vote for him. Eryan
and Stevenson represent the people,
simply. They represent those who work
for living, in commerce, on farms, as
mechanics or by daily toll. They repre-
sent those whose prosperity depends on
the prosperity of the many storekeep-
er, big and little, the lawyer, the mer-
chant trying to build up his own bust
ness. They truly represent all Ameri-
can interests except such trust and
corporate interests as are interested in
getting more than their share through
perversion or evasion of the laws.
OF all the powerful combinations of
capital which threaten American inSti-
tutions to-day, not one fayors the cleo
ton of Bryan and Stevenson. OF all
the men interested in class legislation,
in monopoly of national wealth, every
one favors the election of those opposed
to Bryan and Stevenson. Every one

President Mckinley Formally Told of

At Canton, Ohio, Thursday, William
Mckinley was notified formally Of his
nomination by the Republican convention
TO succeed himself as President Of the
United States. The address of notifica-
ton was made by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, chairman of the committee, and
the President made careful response
Both addresses were intended to be more
than formal to certain extent they de-
fined the basis upon which the campaign
is TO be carried on, and for this reason
especial attention was paid the speakers
by the prominent Republicans who were
present.
The second notification of Mckinley
that he had been selected as the nominee
of the Republican party for President
was made at the same place as the first
and all the accessories were similar TO

Bryan,s Love for the People

In the year 1890 Hon. w. ]. Bryan
was the candidate for Congress Of the
Democrats and PopuIists of his dis
triet He was opposed by Hon. w. J..
Connell, of Omaha, who then repre-
scented the district. During the cam
paign that followed the two candidates
entered into a joint debate, and in his
last speech of the series Mr.. Bryan
me.5ssee le addressed his opponent and
said: We. the poor and weak cry
out for relief they too often hear no
answer but the echo of their cry, while
the rich, the strong, the powerful are
given an attentive ear. For this reason
is class legislation dangerous and dead
~. 1t takes from those least able to
lose and gives to those least in need.
The safety of our farmers and our la
borers is not ia special legislation, but
in equal and just laws that bear alike
on all men. The great masses of our
people are interested not in getting
their hands in other peoples pockets,
but in keeping other peoples hands out
of their pockets. Let me. in parting,
express the hope thai you and | may be
instrumental in bringing our govern
ment back to better laws, which will
give equal treatment without regard to
creed or condition bid you now

1t is a remarkable fact that Major
General Baden-Powell was very nearly
lost to the British army six years ago
by reason of regulations-just as Lord
Roberts could never have entered it if
the standard of height and weight for
officers had been then what it is now
He was in years rapidly approaching
the time limit at which majors, I'M
less specially nominated for com
mand, have to take a retiring allow
ance. There was no chance of his get
ting step in his own regiment. Luck
lily for him, trouble broke out in
Ashanti. and he was one of the first
officers TO be selected for the staff.

Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
man who thinks he is prosperous
should vote the Republican ticket, and
every man who thinks he isn't, the
Democratic ticket, has been followed
by his equally clear and positive state
ment about the Eilipinos. Their rights,
like the rights of the Cuban people,
existed before we undertook to recog-
niZe or defend them. Consequently
their right to independence has not
been III the least altered or diminished
by our interference. The fact that they
have fought for it does rot Justify our
conquest of them. If they had a right
to fight for their independence before,
they have a right to secp.re it by fight
ing for it now. 1t is no more humiliat-
ing for a nation than for an individual
to recognize a nations rights.
If we had treated the Cubans as we
have treated the FiIipinQs we would
have had the same trouble. And Mr..
Bryan might have added, unless we are
careful about interfering too much we
will have the same trouble in Cuba. IL
we had treated the Filipinos as we
treated the Cabans, we would have
had no trouble in the Philippine ISL
ands. II we intend to give the Filipi-
nos their independence, we can avoid
further trouble by saying so.
AS a matter of fact. the Republican
bosses have no more intention of Civ
ing the Filipinos their independence
than they have the Porto Ricans In
fact, they say so. For that is what
they mean when they say "the flag
shall never be hauled down" They
mean to carry out a scheme of military
conquest, and its necessary despotism.
The Question before the country is
whether this republic shall be convert
ed into despotism in Asia While pre-
tending to be republic in America.
Mr. Bryan has made this plain, posi-
tive, logical. -Chicago Democrat.

and one sensational feature about 1t IS
that the chief witness against the pris-
oner is his sister.
Prior to the time when testers alleged
killing Of Gates occurred the families of
both parties lived in Dekalb County, Ill.
The Gates family consisted of the par
ents and two sons-the victim and the
present millionaire steel magnate. But
then the steel magnate was only farm
er's boy and his millions was then I'M
dreamed of.
In those days Kansas was the Mecca
for thousands Of homeseekers. Home
steads were guaranteed the Indians were
quiet. Custer had cleared the country to
the Arkansas Run and the old Santa Fe
trail was as safe as a city. With a
boomer wagon, a dog and rife, Gilbert
Gates left Illinois, crossed the Missis-
8 sippi river and started for the land of
the Benders. In the days at home he
had met the testers Alex. Jester had
gone west before him, and the pair met
by accident in Fort Scott. Gates, on his
return trip, was travelling in a wagon to
Decatur, H., and Jester in a wagon to
some point in Indiana. Jester owned q
trick buffalo calf, which he exhibited in
the settlements on the route. In letter
dated at Middle Grove. Mo-, Gates de-
scribed Jester, told the story of Their
meeting and of the antics of the buffalo
calf. Here the first chapter in the story

The start was made at 3:57 from a

the boat drifted about until 4:50, when
she got into the whirlpool current and
started for the final plunge. The boat
went rapidly. 1t turned over and over

Mr.. w. the Chinese miHi8ter at Wash

the Goth Of June. which was sent on
July 3, By the boatd Of war to the treas
urer Of the Chill province and which
reached Mr.. WI from Shanghai The
decree is accepted by the State Depart
ment as authentic.
Briefly summarized, the decree, while
purporting to be a rews dispatch OF
events in Pekir shortly before and after
the arrival Of the international marine
guard, says in substance that the Chinese
were provoked to resistance by the con-
osct of the guard in Pekin; that the
coamandant Of the forts at Taku was
joined in his refusal to surrender the
forts at Taku; that the demand for sur
render was unjusti6able. and that the
death Of Baron Won Ketteler Is not 10 be
charged TO the Tsun-liYamen, as it had
not consented to an interview sought by
