ficing our present prosperity by a
change Of financial policy. These con-
versions to Mckinley are striking
sign of the times. A few typical in
stances are herewith appended:
Senator Stewards Views.
WILLIAM M. STEWART, senator from
Nevada and one of the foremost sup
porters of the free silver ticket In
1896: "Will the people who mourn the
deaths Of their relatives murdered in
the PHILIPPINES by Aguinaldo's guer-
rillas support his candidate in this
country? viii a country which has
sacrificed thousands of lives and mil
lions of dollars to maintain the author
ity Of the United States elevate to the
Office of president. the candidate Of
league which is exerting all its ener-
giles to tear down the flag? When Mr..
Bryan affiliated with that league and
secured It's support, he betrayed his
American followers and became the
candidate of the enemies of the United
| States both at home and abroad. He
will not be president"
JOHN M PALMER of Springfield, Ills,
ex-senator and gold Democrats candi-
date for president In 1896: 81 shall vote
for Mckinley Populism is unsafe and
Mr.. Bryan is the high priest of that
faction. The country is not for, nor are
Mckinley and his partisan friends be-
levers in, Imperialism. AS president
he has done the best he could. He has
been a safe executive officer on most
of the vital questions that have arisen
during the past three years"
w. A. PETER of Kansas, Populist
leader and former United States sen
ator: Economy, justice, good govern
ment and humanity, every good i'm
pulse and every just and righteous con-
sideration demand that we do not
change the policy Of the administra-
| ton"
GENERAL JOHN GILL of Baltimore,
Md, president of the Mercantile Trust
and Deposit company, and q well
known Democrat in that section: s'How
can sound money Democrats and rep
utable citizens join in supporting this
candidate BryaDr
No Longer Democrat.
JAMES M. BECK, United States district
attorney of Pennsylvania: "a man is
of that party with which he sympa-
| thizes, whatever he may call himself
| If, therefore, one believes in free silver
and in hauling down the American flag
in the Philippines, he is a Democrat,
! but if he believes in honest money and
in the supremacy Of the flag in our
| territorial possessions, he is Repub-
lican. Between these l had no hesita-
ton in choosing. l am no longer a
Democrat; am Republican"
THOMAS F. RYAN of New York, a
| Democrat, and associated with Will
liam G. Whitney in business enter
prises: 81 think that the gold Demo-
Gratis will vote for Mckinley as the
surest way of destroying the evil that
threatens the country's prosperity. l
shall vote for Mckinley"
JAMES A. FLEMING, who is a large
mine owner and has been conspicuous
| In Colorado politics as a Democrat:
MIR. Bryan took up the silver ques-
ton as possible stepping stone. He,
like the others, only cared to make
people believe some wrong had been
done them, and he. with others, only
could remedy the wrong by voting him
| and them into Office"
| SIDNEY V. LOWELL, q Brooklyn
Democratic lawyer: II cannot be q
traitor to my country, and Organism is
treason. Mr.. Bryan's position toward
| TT,,s4 !, to ix1o
question is certainly traitorous. This
| antiexpansion issue raised by Bryan
will cost the Democratic party many
| votes"
JOHN JOHNSON, recently chairman of
Democratic central committee of Nc
Donald county, Mo-: after long and
earnest consideration of the questions
and principles involved In the present
campaign l have decided that it is my
duty as a progressive citizen and a
patriot to lend my support to the Re-
| publican national, state and county
| ticket"
Bryan a RevOIutiOnist.
DIR. GEORGE L. MILLER, for 80 years
a leader of the Democratic forces in
World, and for 20 years its editor: Il
regard Bryan as a socialistic revolu-
| ZIONIST, tinged with religious fanati-
cism. On the money question Bryan
breaches a false doctrine. On the
rights of life and property he molds his
speech In anarchistic form; on the sub
ject of law and order he incites the
,ox,oI,,&ioporx, c,,i,i+. or, tho Dhilfnptno
problem he promises nothing different
from the course now being pursued by
the administration, but attempts to
catch votes by a groundless cry Of I'M
perialism."
JOSEPH MoRwITz, president Of The
German Democrat Publication COM
pany, which journal was one of the
foremost opponents of Democracy in
Philadelphia: "From the information
l have been able to obtain as to the
attitude of the COMMUNICATIONS in
New York, Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Louis believe that it is overwhelming
ly against Bryan"
r. G. SPRINGATE of Ell Paso, Ills, a
Democrat and prominent business
man: II am a Democrat, and l am
going to vote for Mr.. Alschuler, the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Illinois. But on national issues | am for
Mckinley. Throughout central Illinois
it Is the almost unanimous sentiment
of the business men that we should let
well enough alone"
JUDGE JAMES T. HoBLIT, one of the
most influential Democrats in Lincoln,
Ills, and last year a supporter of the
gold Democratic ticket, will this year
vote for Mckinley: II believe the atti-
tude of Mr.. Bryan and his followers
on the money question is full of peril
to every interest in the country ex-
cept that of silver mining"
]. WEST GOODWIN of Sedalia, Mo-,
will support Mckinley this year. He
is the editor of The Daily Bazoo and
is Democrat of influence in the COM
munity: Free silver is the real issue
In this campaign and cannot be sue
cessfully obscured by the Democrats.
The talk about Imperialism is mere
rubbish"
West Virginians Indignant.
The invitations to serve as vice presi-
dent Of a meeting at Charleston, W.
Va, which was to be addressed by
Webster Davis, called forth a shower
of protests from Mckinley supporters
who were named. DR.. r. s. Henry,
whose name appeared In the list an
nounces that he is for Mckinley and
Roosevelt from the crown of my head
to the soles of my feet" Major A.
Burlow and John Ruby were among
the other sound money men who de-
clined to serve because they will sup
port the Republican ticket.
