G. w. NICHOLS.

IT is sad commentarv upon the
times aud the management of af-
fairs, that ia this land of the free
and home of the brave, the President
of this Republic IN l-t have body
guard of secret service detectives to
defend and protect him from the as
sasain's dagger. 1t woul l not be so
if the laws were fairly enforce I'D. 1t
is when a ruler becomes the champ
ion and partial friend Of class, that
even wicked murderers AT heart can
hate him so as to attack his life.
There was no anarchistic organiza-
tion behind Lincoln's death. 1t was
the individual act of one man, who
lived the unreal life of an actor, and
who courted glory" such as his
overweight mind and heated imag-
ination conceived would be his. A
crazy man killed Garfield. But
when it comes to talk of plots and
conspiracies in this country to muir
der the President, it is time we were
inquiring the cause. If indeed the
anarchist and Malta have found a
Judgement here, then they should
be hunted out, uprooted and driven
into the sea. And the fact they are
known to exist and yet are temper
lied with, shows a cowardice upon
the part of public officials, criminal
almost in itself. And to stop the
breed Of anarchists and commu-
nists,we should change the laws that
breed such miscreants. Wherever
you find plutocratic form OF govern
ment, or administration of gov
eminent, there you find the deadly
list. The trust fostering care of this
administration, has pauperized
thousands of people, while it was
building up fortunes for the few.
That makes anarchists. Combines
of capital that destroy the small
dealer and enrich the large one,
that dwarfS the individual and mag
nifies the corporation;-that makes
anarchists. And it were best while
we are at it to go to the root of the
disease and remove the cause. Kill
the trusts, and you will throttle tue

the combines against labor and pro-
duction and men, and give the indi.

THE Republicans are on the run.
Before the Kansas City Convention
they were contending, every one of
them-big and little, that the silver
question was no longer an issue, that
the Senate was safely Republican
for six years longer, and that there
was no sense in disturbing the coun-
try with any further discussion of
silver. And they impressed not a
few of the Democrats with their
viewa; so that in the Kansas City
platform they subordinated silver to
the second or third place and made
imperialism the paramount issue,
with the trusts, combines and cor
porations good second. Now the
Republicans have tackled. They say
they Were mistaken, that the Senate
is not so safe after all, and the dan

CONGRESSMAN CARMACK.
He Will Speak for the National Ticket
in the Doubtful States.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Aug. % =
Chairman Jones of tile National
Committee, has made strong call
upon Mr.. Carmack for all the time
he can spare during the months of
September and October. to make
speeches in the doubtful States. He
is also urgently requested to make
several speeches in Kentucky and
Nebraska. In addition to the call
from Chairman Jones, Hon. j. ID.
Richardson, leader of the minority
in the Lower House, and many of
his other friends in Tennessee,
together with large number of the
Democratic newspapers, have urged
Mr.. Carmack to speak in behalf Of
the National ticket in other states.
For these reasons, number of his APP.
pointments in Tennessee have been
cancelled. He will finish up his
Tenne ssee campaign about the mid
die of September, and from then on
will give his entire time in behalf of
the national ticket.

IF the American people have ever
had an Idol since the days of Wash.
ington, that idols name is William
Jennings Bryan. Jefferson and
Jackson and Lincoln have been
lionized since their death, but they
were partisans in their day, and
those who were not of their party,
were against thtm. Not so with Mr..
Bryan. He IL one OF the people, and
he il their Tribune tn an extent that
no man has ever been in this country.
He is Democrat, and the Democrats
are for him; but tens of thousands of
men who scorn and hate the name
Of Democrat, are Bryan men. They
love him for the enemies he has
made. They admire him because
he will not be bought, or browbeaten
or bulldozed or silenced, but dares
to think for himself and to speak
what he thinks. They regard
him as sui generis in this
plutocratic age, because at all times,
under all circumstance and every
where he magnifies man more than
the dollar, and respects the liberty
of the individual more than the cor
porate rights of capital. The rich
philanthropist who would help man
kind, looks to him for aid and COM
fort. The earnest patriot, sick and
tired of shams and the makeshifts Of
political time servers, leaves friends
and family, and party, and turns
with faith and hope to this champion
of individual rights and constitu-
tional liberty. Thoughtful business
men who know that pay dly must
inevitably come to those who borrow,
and knowing, fear the consequences
of this billion dollar administration,
quiet their fears when they think OF
Bryan. The discouraged workman
out of job, as he plods his weary
way begging crust of bread, takes
new courage when he reads the mes
sage Bryan speaks to the country
when he accepts his party's call. No
man has ever inspired more hope in
patriotic homes, or sent more terror
to traitorous hearts, than has this
man, whose one ambition in life
seems to be to serve his country fol-
his country's good, and to help hui
manity for humanitys sake.

Boss CROKER has given Mr.. Hill
the throw down again. The New

the State Convention, which meets
September IL. for Bird s. Coler for
Governor; but Croker said mo" and
the noes had IL. Hills contention
was that Coler would carry a large
Independent vote in Greater New

would lose more straight democrats
than he would get Independents. He
was a man, the Boss said, Who would
throw party men overheard. as
Cleveland had done, to curry favor
with the Independents, and Tam
many didn't want any more Cleve-

Some of the members, reporting
from their respective districts, said
their news YVES almost too good to
be true; and the consensus Of
opiuion was that the foreign vote
would flock to the polls to vote
against imperialism. Four years
ago nearly everybody who was
against the silver plank went
to the extreme of ignoring every
thing else, and voted against
Bryan. States rights Democrats,
tariff for revenue only" men, anti
trust and corporation men, men who
hated and despised the Republican
party for its carpet-bag, reconstruc
ton, force-bill record, in the fierce
heat and excitement and prejudice
of the hour forgot themselves and
voted for Mckinley. Now they
have nearly all come back, and with
them thousands and tens of thous-
ands who know and fear and dread
the curse Of imperialism. The
Democrats certainly have vantage OF
the fighting this time.

Impressive that the manly and dig

the campaign of abuse aud misrep-

against him. The widest charges
have been banded about; some

did not know the man and his re-
cord was overlooked, and as fast as
one report was trailed down, and
proven to be false, another would
spring up These criticisms assumed
every form, from imputatiOns upon
his democracy TO ascribing TO him in
murder trial language and senti-

foolish on their face that any man
of even half sense should not DE de-
