Repudiate the Dictator.

General Palmer. who was the nomi-
nee OF the Gold Democrats for Presi-
dent in 1896, has come out natfooted for
Mckinley as against Bryan. and has
pointed out the many weaknesses OF the
candidate OF the PopulIsts endorsed by
, the Kansas City convention.
This announcement is also followed by
the expressed hostility to Bryan of ex-
Governor Boyd. OF Nebraska. the only
Democratic governor that state ever
had. Mr.. Boyd has also been a menu
Der of, the Democratic national commit
tee from Nebraska. and has always
stood high in the party councils. In 4
recent Interview he Is reported to have
said: II have never said intended 20
vote for Mckinley. I may not vote for
presidential electors ut all. With Amer
lea Imperialism Is impossible. We have
been acquiring territory ever since the
government was, founded. yet this is
not an empire. To say that new terri
tory added from time to time will be
followed by an emperor to rule over us
Is absurd. Bryan may deceive somr OF
the people by, his far-fetched cry OF i'm
perialism. but the scare will not be Of
long duration.
The greatest mistake Bryan ever
made was to require the Kansas CITY
convention to reitarate the 16 to silver
free coinage plank. He emphasized 1t
beyond all others, thus doing what The
Republicans would have him do. It
will cause Bryan's defeat under heavier
majorItles than were given him four
years ago. II wis sheer id!ocy. Money
was never so plentiful and the interest
rate never so low. Prices OF farm pro-
duets were never better and the pro-
ducers are getting gold money for their
products. Prosperity everywhere Is
evident that cannot be talked down. Il
may not be due to McIllnley, but 1t Is
possible under the policy for which Nc
Finicy stands"

than IT was in Cuba. I saw man in

That's nothing" said the Porto

seacoast of Porto Rico. Pelicans down

Then they pull few boiled cocoa-nuts

AT this point in the discussion several
timid citizens who had been listening,
turned up their collars and began shiv-
ering from the chilly atmosphere OF
Atlanta. One walked into q clothing

The two liars went across the street

Possibilities Declared.

1t Is quite evident that war between
Croker and Hill has been fully declared,
and that Tammany will rule in running
the campaign In New York this year
both cltYand state. This much is plain
from aninsplred article in Verdict, an
Illustrated political weekly owned by
o. H. P. Belmont and edited by one OF
Cookers creatures, Alfred Henry Lewis,
a pungent but INSCRIPTIONS writer, and
who now enjoys q $1,000 job in New
York city through the influence OF Gro
ker. The article in Verdict In part
says: .sys
The state ticket is yet to be fashioned.
In that connection you OF Tammanyi
have Il destiny to respect, a duty TO-
face, q danger to meet and overcome.
The state campaign committee has al-
ready been selected. That portion
taken FROM the greater city. while du-
bious In divers Brooklyn elements, may
still be given that fair description to
be found in the term Good" There

not be held us illustrative Of that sec
ton of the campaign committee which
halls from up the state or regions with
out the greater city's boundaries.
There Is now and then an oasis in
Z this sand-blown desert of committee.
Now: and then name like Norman
Mack, to which decent hope muy
fasten and Bryan future pin its faith.
But for the most, that out-of-town half
of the committee is too much streaked
of Hill, which is, as IL one were to say,
too much streaked OF treason. There
are four names, Hill selections, and in.

have been placed on the roll. Elements
of party infnmy, sallsof them, stand for
naught but treuchery. They were
against Bryan four years ago. they are
against him now. They were inimical
to the platform Of 1886: they hate and
curse 1t to-day. These black and dam
gerous folk-Hill-led. Hill-fed, Hill-se-
lected-should be of the committee.
If 1t be too late for that reform, then
should they be put one side with their

ties that have ever ,heen thrust upon
5anyEof the nations OF the earth. and Il
is enough to make these able STATESMEN
turn in their graves.
There is one significant sentence in
the 5000 words of,rbetorlc worth buot.
Ing. Mr.. Bryan said :s"If elected i Shall

sion as sconias lam inaugurated, and
recommend an immediate declaration

illsh u stable form OF governmental the

present administration. is doing. 1t Is
endeayorins TO compose the islands OF
the Pacific to peace, and It would have
done go long ago but! for the aid and
comfort afforded the rebellous Tagals
by Mr.. Bryan and his party OF nissan
ithropes, the, hope oftwhose leader lies
in the election Of the, dlctator.o Lin
coin. In;the awful calamity. OF sBryan's
election We obine that the. extraordl-
mary session OF Congress he would call,
would be most extraordinary indeed. It
would have more, things to take care OF
than will be conjectured at this time.
There is nothing inS Mr., Bryan's
speech but what. stamps him as the
false prophet In q more. indellble man
ner. and marshals him as the. leader OF
f; the disconnected and the remnants Of
that party which has always looked
backward, the party of negation and
objection, and which has never been
imbued with the spirit Of progress and
construction which has been SO well OK
sempliied in the policies OF the party of
Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley.
