Wonder where all the good Yankee

Wonder where all the good Yankee republicans are. Here we find, about all the republican candidates, and some that are not candidates, tracing their ancestry back to the early days of the French revolution, the Irish up- rising of ,9S, or to the Italian counts of old. Pretty cheap politics, no mat ter how one looks at 1t. When some of these candidates fail to find French, Irish or Italian blood in their veins, they tell you that their wives have an cestors that were warriors bold in for eign climes. These Jnien who are seek ing the votes of their fellow men act as though they, were sorry for being born in their country. This feeling will hold good until after election.

 John M. Sherrouse, a New Orleans business man and a brother-in-law of Representative Robertson of Louisi- ana, was in. Washington this week. He said of the political outlook: T hope that Bryan will win. I am op- posed to aggressive expansion and also to benevolent assimilation through the cannon's mouth. In the case of the Philippines we are attempteing to con- quer lands thousands of miles away and assimilate people whom infinite wisdom has made so different as to ren- der all our efforts fruitless. We have already m alien race. with us that has grown into a national problem, and 1t will be only adding fuel to the fire to bring more alien races in."

The denaacfatie managers of the campaign believe now as they have be- Hesed from the first, that Bryan and Stevenson, have a good fighting chance to win, and they are going to. Keep on believing so until the last ballot has been deposited, and then they are going to keep close watch to see that there is no trickery in the counting. They have been through too many campaigns to be frightened by repub- lican assumption of conscience.

VOTE HONESTLY.

The presidential campaign of 1900 is now ended. All that remains is the casting and the counting of the ballots.
 It has been remarkable campaign, not only for the, great work accom- plished by the leaders of both parties,
 but for the amount of lying that has been done, and the amount of abuse that has been heaped upon the candi- dates. Let us hope that some day this sort of electioneerfng will be buried.
 It is distasteful to all decent people. The issues of the hour have been placed before the readers of the Dem :ocrat in a straightforward manner. We hope those of our readers who are cleo tors will vote according to the die tates of their conscience, and we also hope that their conscience will tell
 them to vote the sdemocratic ticket. The effort to turn democrats towards the republican party has been kept up early and late. and our friends of the g. O. D. do not hesitate to lie or buy
 when they want votes. 1t is to be hoped that the democrats will not take seriously the utterances of the At One-Time Democrat,"5 "Jeffersonian Democrat and Good Government" writers. When a nie.i iiass a good ar gument he should not be afraid to sign his name. Therefore, we say ttosdem- oerats. be not deceived py republican writers. We would not care to insult the intelligence of our renders by think ing for one moment that they. take any stock in these writer's. Every man is as good as his neighbor to- morrow, be he millionaire or lord. Go to the polls. then, .and. vote fenriessly and honestly, and when the votes are counted 1t will show tine triumph of democracy and the routing of men who would perpetuate themselves an office. Waterbury should give Bryan at least 500 majority, and if all the dembcrats will vote as fheya spSil, his anajority can pss maze 1,ppQ NI fair field and no favor is all the demo crats ask. anda they get this we look for four years.
