TABLES VS.. TABLES.
"Mckinley Identification" Opposed
by Bryan's Depreciation.

Philadelnh1a Times.
A Democratic newspaper, desiring to be
sarcastic, describes the proceedings OF the
Republican state conventions held the
past week as "McKinley's magniticatlon.'
To illustrate its point II quotes some OF the
approving utterances with which refer
ences to the administration began, and
tabuiates them as follows:
I'VE indorse--
1--WE rejoice
I'VE glory
I'VE are proud
I'VE heartily support
I'VE intrust--
1--WE commend and approve"
The Republicans are perfectly willing to
plead guilty to this criticism. Their plat
forms and political utterances this year
are likely 20 partake largely OF n magnf-
cation not only of President Mckinley. but
of the Republican party also. 1t Will be
impossible for 1t to be otherwise. Without
the least eNaggeration they can point to
things actually achieved. to promises full
filled. to the greatest prosperity the coun-
try has ever known. The contrast with
the souphouse period of Grover Cleveland
is so marked that n schoolboy must recog-
nlze Il. As the late Senator Roscoe Conk-
ling would say: The present situation
proves the Republican party great in the
arduous greatness OF things done"
And what viii the Democratic party say
IN its speeches and Platforms There will
be no "magniflcation" I'm them. With
every promise the party has made broken,
with It's pledges unfulflled and with a re-
membraEee which like a nightmare hangs
over the country yet of the poverty, shame
and business wreckage of Grover Cleve-
lands administration. the Democracy can
come together and resolve that:
I'VE repudiate-
We mourn
we decry-
we are ashamed
We condemn
I'VE deRounce-
I'VE disavow--"
The Democracy can probably find few
more depreciating expressions to use In its
platforms and speeches. but there will not
be any magnifieation in them. The RepuD-
lican party IL entirely satisfied to be
known Ms the party Of magniflcation and
20 let the Democratic party be known as
the party OF calamity.

in the United States for twenty-five
years and Is desirous to make a short
visit to the home of his fathers in

Geary act is that Chinaman leaving
the country cannot return without
having secured a permit before de-
barking, and an essential to the secur-
ing of this permit is his ability to
parents or property to the value of
81, 900 behind him.
500 Hoo Gu hasn't wife or child
parents or property here, but he has
yen in plenty and consequently was
able to meet the requirements OF the
law by having four of his countrymen
confess judgment to him in the sur,
of $3.50 each.

Geary act will be forwarded from here
