a Rank Record.

Did you ever think that the
Democrats have only elected one
Governor of Illinois and one Presi-
dent of the United States in forty
years, and that the State Treasury
was left several millions of dollars
worse than empty and that the
national administration had to is
sue interest bearing bonds for $2G2, =
oo0.000 in time of peace to pay the
actual running expenses Of the
Government? This is the record
the party goes to the voters with.
Isn't it rank ?-Benton, (Ill.)"Re-
publican.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1900-08-09


They have come in SO marked a
degree as to establish new prece-
dent in all the commercial and in
dustrial progress of the world.
Never at any time, in any country,
have any people been so uniformly
and universally prosperous as have
the people of this country under
the administration of President
Mckinley. Statistics to prove it
are too numerous to quote, even a
few, and we have no space for any
at this time. The proof is within
the knowledge of every man who
has eyes and ears, and does not
wilfully close them. This the Hon.
w. J. Bryan has done, but the
Hon. JOS, c. Sibley has not. He
has kept his eyes and ears open and
has witnessed the wonderful trans
formation, doubtless with surprise,
but not with regret. The prosper
ity of the people was his soul and
only aim, and when it came he
welcomed it just as cordially, and
rejoiced in it just as sincerely as
though it had come through the
channels advocated by him. Aye,
and when it made its appearance
he put his force behind it, and
helped it along just as cheerfully
as though it had all been planned
and organized by him, and did not
stand, and scoff, and jeer, and try
to impede its progress, as SO many
of his former colleagues have done
He has simply rendered to the Re-
publican party the credit which Mr.
Bryan, himself, declared would be
its due under these conditions, and
has done it so thoroughly as to OPP
enly ally himself with that party as
the one best calculated to promote
that ''prosperity for all the people"
which he has always advocated.
And for this he is denounced as a
''hopper," "a traitor" " "a desert
er" and the Lord only knows what
other epithets are held in reserve
by those who refuse to follow his
lead, and openly proclaim their Sc
cret convictions as he has done.
But the strangest sight of all is
to see men who claim to love the
party, and believe in the principles
that he has espoused, entering into
an alliance with the avowed oppon-
ents Of that party and those prin-
ciples, for the purpose Of "down-
ing" him to whom they should
rather extend the right hand of
fellowship, and welcome rather
than repel.
