He would have been an imperialist some
thing like; an imperialist wouldn't have
hurt the Democrats bit. The Demo
cratic party wouldn't have cared a rap
about imperialism nor about silver at 16
to 1 or at 33 to 1. They would have
gone in on the heroics. They would have

date. and been glad and proud and stuck
up and happy to support a man who had
shed blood, conquered territory and sur
rounded the world with his glories. That
Is what the Democracy wanted-Murat

Whoever attempts under whatever pop

money matters, stabs your interest and
your happiness to the heart.-Daniel
Webster, in the Senate Jan. 81, 1884.
"Militarism," imperialism" are terms
used by newspapers, politicians and plat
forms to scare the people and catch
votes. They are weapons-utterly
groundless ones Of the most demagogic
import-used to stir the people which no
well-balanced statesman or newspaper
will use. There is no more danger of
either condition in this great intelligent

sustained by our courts, than there is of
England becoming an absolute despotism.

All the incidents of the past prove that
the army will never have the disposition
to jeopardize the free institutions of the
country. Our nation would be safe in
deed, for all time. did the mass OF it's cit
liens place upon its institutions the same
intelligent appreciation as that in which
they are held by the army, and were
honor, integrity and respect for the laws
as much the rule among the people as
they are in the army, which has given too
many proofs of heroism, of integrity, of
devotion to the country, to be regarded
as source of danger. On the contrary,
he who understands it's history must re-
gard it with pride and satisfaction as one

There are 5000 people connected with
the glass business in Indiana alone and
their votes will make the State go for

interests. Our wages have been raised

Bryan's name is household word in
every Philippine hut. They are thor
oughly familiar with his anti-expansion
views, and in him think they see their
"deliverer." His nomination and candi-
dacy alone mean the loss OF much prop
erty and many lives, for it will infuse
new life into the insurgent cause and
cause them to break out anew.-R. NJ.

Imperialism is false cry. Never have
I seen a Republican who wants to be
king. I am a military man, but have
never been able to find out what they
mean by "militarism." If by "militar-
ism" they mean they are opposed to our
young men learning the things that will
enable them to uphold the flag, then they
are opposed to patriotism. One of my
sons, Col. Guy Howard, was killed in
the Philippines while fighting for the
flag, and another one is fighting over
there now. Don't talk to me about TAX
ing down our flag and giving the Philip
pines away. It is an insult.-Gen. OIL

The Republican party in Wyoming is
in excellent shape. The State Is quite
prosperous. This is particularly true Of
the wool industry, which has been stim-
ulated by the tariff and the general bus
mess revival throughout the country.
The wool growers all realize that their
future depends largely on the continu-
alton Of the prosperity which now pre-
walls and I believe that they, to a man,
will support Mckinley. Our people are
paying little attention to the so-called
Imperialism, but are content to think Sc.
riously Of the financial and tariff ques-
tions. Wyoming will give a handsome
majority for Mckinley and Roosevelt

We all know that there has ever been
4 party in this government, since its foun-

and Yorktown, opposed to our territorial
expansion and aggrandizement. With
