DYRENFORTH FOR MCKINLEY.
He Addresses the Illinois Republican
Association.

General r. st. George Dyrenforth, COM
mander-in-chief of the Union Veteran
Union, spoke before the Illinois Republi-
can Association last evening and announced
in positive language his thorough support
of Mckinley and Roosevelt in the coming
election and his belief that it was the duty
of every veteran to vote for the republican
ticket.
General Dyrenforth has been antagonistic
to the present administration of the pension
office, but his announcement last evening
indicated that this antagonism in no way
affected his support of the republican tick
ct. He also announced that today he would
send out to members of his order a circular
advising them that their interests would be
served best by keeping the present admins
tration in power.
The meeting of the Illinois Republican As
ISOLATION was largely attended and was held
In the Grand Army building. Mr.. o. ].
Ricketts,, president of the association, called
the meeting to order.
Col w. w. Brown, of Pennsylvania, the
first speaker, compared the condition of the
country under republican and democratic
rule. He referred to the paramount ques-
ton" of the campaign-the question of i'm
perialism-and ridiculed the idea of mill
tarism. He said the real issue was Bry-
aDisnl.
General Dyrenforth spoke of the veteran
in the campaign. He was glad, he said, to
address the association, of VIII Oh he became
member last evening, because it had been
charged by different people that on account
OF the attitude of the commissioner of pen
sions he would oppose the reelection of
Mckinley. He denied this charge abso-
lutely and said he did not understand how
any Union soldier or patriotic man could
support Bryan in this campaign. He said
he stood at the head Of large organiza-
ton made up entirely of Union soldiers,
and that he had advised and would advise
all members of that organization to stand
by Mckinley. He said that an Official cir
cular would be issued from the national
headquarters of the Union Veteran Union
and would be scattered broadcast through
out the country, urging the members Of
the organization to stand by the admins

Germans Are for Bryan.

Prominent Germans all over the
country. who were always identified
with repu biican politics. are this year
flocking to the banner of anti-impe-
rialism. In Chicago and St. Louis
the leaders are daily announcing
themselves for Bryan. Here is what
four of the German-American repre-
sentatives in Chicago say:
George Meyer. editor of the Erie
Presse: II believe that the majority
of Gsrman-American voters will vote
for Bryan and Stevenson. not because
they are for 16 to 1, but because they
believe that Imperialism and trusts
are more important issues just now
than the money question You will
find that Carl Schurz will come out
for Bryan this year,
Christian Meyer. lawyer and mem
Der of the Chicago school board: 81
think that very large percentage of
the German people see no harm in the
silver plank of the democratic plat
form and will support that party be-
cause of its stand against imperial
ism. My statement is based upon
,utterances l have heard from many
people. including a number of repub-
licans."
Jacob Ingenthron. lawyer. civil
war veteran and chairman of an asso-
citation of $40 German societies
There will be big landslide among
the Germans toward Bryan. Anti
miIitarism and anti-expansion are the
leading issues. The hirtations of our
country with England during the past
year have estranged the Germans
from the republican party. They do
not like the attitude the government
has assumed toward the Beers. The
Germans believe chat this country
should help to maintain republics
wherever they exist"
William Woke. lawyer, repu blican
stump speaker in every presidential
campaign since 1864: Things ap-
pear to be badly mixed. Some of my
friends who have always been repub-
licans look upon the monetary issue
as less perilous than the dangers of
imperialism and militarism. They
do not approve the republican policy
of sabjecting to our dominion islands
of another hemisphere populated by
a httsrog neous aud semi-barbarous
mass of people. Others still regard
the silver craze as dangerous. j
doubt whether any fairly correct
representation can be made just

Ir has remained until now for the
English and French powers to join
in the proper warning TO the imperial
authorities in China that the Chinese
government will be held to rigid ac-
countability for the lives and safety of
British and French citizens in Pekin.
Despite all the boasted master strokes
of diplomacy OF the American prime
minister. to the contrary, notwith-
standing, TO one at this distance it
seems that Great Britain and France
have finally adopted what should have
been the tenor OF the first note sent in
TO Pekin. Il is humiliating to know
that while America, through the
good Offices of Minister WI, was
the first TO get q message into Pekin
from an outside country after the
siege began, was the last to hear au-
thoritatively of the actual state of af-
fairs there. And further than this It
seems n signifi ant fact that Emperor
Wilhelm of Germany. who gave the
Chinese goSeremeRt notice Of what to
expect without mincing matters, was
the first to get definite information
out. It's earnestly 10 be hoped that
