Not long ago Republican was
Gliding one OF our people with the
fact that the Filiplnos We're looking
to Democratic election for the secur-
ing or their rights, and the Republi-
can said: Are you not ashamed that
the Filplnos are expecting aid from
the DemocratS?" And this man re-
piled to the Republican,: DO you
know OF any people in all the world
who are lighting for liberty who are
looking 10 the Republican party for
help at this time?'"
THE SILVER QUESTION.
Mr.. Bryan then explained the rea-
sons of his party for an apparent
change of issues describing the rise
of the silver question and going on to
say:
but the Republican party has
brought INTO this campaign question
more important than any question
that merely involves the system of
taxation. the Industrial system or the
financial system. The Republican
party attacks the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which our government
rests. and when the Republican party
strikes at the very foundation of free
government it injects into the cam
paign an issue OF overshadowing i'm
portance. Great applause)
I'VE know human nature. and we
know that If this nation reaches point
Wnere IL Is Wiling 10 deny the uniVGr-
sal application OF the principles set
forth in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. 1t will not be long till these
principles will not be applied in our
own country; and want to warn those
who toll. that whenever in this country
we begin TO neglect the principles OF
self government. the poor Will he the
first 10 suffer. Those who to-day say
that the dollar of trade IS superior to
the rights OF the Filipinos will be say
ing in II few years that money Is more
important than man. and that those
only who have great wealth has sufi-
cient at stake to have voice in the
government here. Great applause)
Our contention Is that our government
Is built upon the doctrine that all men
are created equal. Destroy that doc
trine and there is no foundation upon
which a free government can be built
If all men are created equal. If they
are endowed with inalienable rights. If
governments are instituted among men
and derive their Just powers from the
consent of the governed. then this ma
ton has no more right as q nation to
claim the ownership of 100000 Fill
pinos than one man has n right to
claim the ownership of another man.
The Republican party. which was not
willing that a black man should be
sold for a thousand dollars. now claims
that Filipino can be bought for two
dollars and fifty cents. The principle
is exactly the same Great applause.)

CONVENTION AND "spL1Ts."

One of the arguments which the politi-
clans are using against the holding of a
constitutional convention is that with the
negro vote eliminated the Democratic par
ty will split AS to whether or not that
would be the result no man knows, but
we have no doubt whatever that unless
there be reform in the present system OF
elections in Virginia the Democratic party
will split all to flinders. and the politicians
who do not see that are certainly blind to
glarng facts.
If there Is to be split in the party. If
there are to be two evenly matched par
lies in the State OF Virginia,
every sensible man knows that it
were better for that condition
to come without the negro vote to
reckon with The negroes in Virginia
have always voted in mass, and may be
expected TO do so in the future. II the
whites should split, one side or the other,
perhaps both, would bid for the negro
vote, and no true Nirginian wants to see
that condition in this old Commonwealth.
The negro as factor in Virginia politics
is necessarily and inevitably a disturbing
factor Under whatever conditions he
should hold the balance of power, he
would make great disturbance among
the whites. There would be discord and
strife and bloodshed.
We believe that. an the interest of
peace, pure government and honest poll
tics. 1t is necessary that the great body
OF negro voters shall be DISTINGUISHED, and
to that end we are heartily in favor of
a constitutional convention. 1t does not.
however. by any means follow that with
the negro vote eliminated the Democratic
party in Virginia would split. Several OF
the Southern States have ridded them
selves of the negro vote, and yet the
Democratic party is as solid as ever. The
fight is made in the primary elections,
and IN these contests the whites are di-
vided and there is in almost every cleo
ton sharp contests. It would probably be
the same IN Virginia under similar condi-
lions. The great aim aud object of those
who favor constitutional revision is TO re-
move the cause Of election corruption.
Take the negro out of politics and give
us a pure ballot and a fair count in Vir-
GINA, and all will be we'll in Virginia poll
tics, whether the party splits or not

,I,1s1,LEY AND THE MlsTHoDIsTs.

.I,I1INLEY AND THE METHODIsTS.
At the meeting of the Vermont Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
held recently at Bellows Falls, one Of
the preachers asked if any member knew
whether or not President Mckinley drank
wine. as had been alleged by the New
Jersey NIethodists. Bishop Merrill said
that he could answer the question, and
then went on to explain that in Novem-,
her last there was a meeting of Metho-
dist. bishops in Washington, at Which
time Bishop Walden had a long talk
with the President on this subject. me
Bishop afterwards reported to his assoc
ciatcs that President Mckinley had told
him that when he attended banquets he
did not turn down the glasses, but lett
them standing and they were filled by the
walters However, he had separate
glass, from which he drank apolhharls
water. and the wine always remained
untouched
We are further told that the presiding
bishop lat the Vermont Conference
scored the ultra-te.nperance Journals
saying that they had lied about hlm' allc
he presumed that they had lied about
President mckinley too
The Times has said nothing in this
connection half SO severe as the de-
nunciation of this Vermont bishop. 1t
does seem reasonable, however. that the
New Jersey Methodists should at least
have been sure of the facts before pub
licly denouncing their brother Mckinley
as a wine bibber.

statement Of the views he holds in respect
to the leading political issues OF the day,
and that nc will say. amongst otaer
things. that he Is a sound money Demo

h If Admiral Dewey makes this statement
he will find that ne expresses the OPINION
of millions of his fellow-countrymen both
Republicans and Democrats. 1t is the true
solution of the subject. We are IN nonor
