simply because the policies of Repub-
lican administrations have forced the
world to respect the Ameri-
can flag. Had we followed the
path which MIR. Burt and his friend
Bryan now advocate the United States
would have little influence in the ar
fairs OF the world and the flag would
be despised.
We are "the happiest people Oh

publican party have brought the widest
measure of prosperity that has ever

there are more prosperous people.

victlon, however, that up to the pre-.
sent time the committees have been
sorely disappointed in his contribu.
lions for the general ticket.
"Mr. Burt has conceded that the
fact that he had money to use for
campaign purposes gave him the nomi-
nation for congress. 1t is true that
other Democrats in Saginaw county
have put more money into the cam
paign for the promotion of the inter
ests or the county ticket than Mr..
Burt has done.
I'm my judgment, Mr.. Burt is never
a Democrat except when a candidate.
He always reserves the right to with
hold his support from any Dem oCrat
WHO is regularly placed in nomination,
and he has placed himself ON record
as frequently opposing the candidacy
OF such nominees.
~ have lived in Saginaw over SO
years, have always been actively inter-
ested i'll the success of the Democratic
party, have regularly attended their
meetings, and never, except the pres
ent year and in 1896, when Mr.. Bryan
was here, have l been on a platform
when Mr.. Burt was present.
II believe that it would be the most
lamentable thing In politics in the
Eighth district OF Michigan to elect
Mr.. Burt. Knowing his positive char
acter as well as i do, / think if he
were elected the only thing left to do
would be to change the name OF the
Democratic party and call it 'Burto-
cracy.'"

A SAGINAW DEMOCRAT
Who Has Been Democrat All His Life Gives Rea
sons Why Burt Should Not be Elected

r. W. Carlisle, q LIFELONG Saginaw
Democrat, whose simon-pure Demo.
cracy has never been uestioned; who
has stood high in the ranks OF his
party as O. counselor OF Democratic
ideas, and who has given lavishly of
his means to tho furtherance of Demo
cratic doctrines and the success of
his party; a Democrat whose narne
is a household word i'm Saginaw col1n-
ty, gives some substantial reasons
why wellington X. Burt is not en-.
titled TO the support OF right-think-
ing Democrats in his candidacy fol-
congress. In an interview in the city
OF Saginaw on Friday, October 10.
he said:
"It is my Judgment that politically
and as q citizen Mr.. Burt has more
vulnerable points than any man be-
fore the people in this congressional
district.
HE is not interested in q single tive
industry in Saginaw.
"He has always sneered at Demo
Gratis except at such times as he de-
sired their votes.
'If Mr.. Burt has one qualification
for the nomination, it is the simple
fact that he is Doodle candidate.
1t was talked among the Democrats
before the convention that Burt would
be nominated because he had money,
and it was supposed that he would
contribute literally to his own cam
paign and that OF the other candidates
on the ticket. 1t Is my sincere con-

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

The developm ent of the rural free
delivery service has been fostered by
the Republican party only. The first
appropriation made for this service vas
$4,000, the next $100.000, then
100000 and last year $1,75O,OOO.
The service Is now in operation in
every state and territory in the union.
In Ohio there are 10000 families liv-
ing on farms served daily; Indiana, ILL
nois Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa
have from 10000 to 10000 families
in each state whose mail is delivered
daily at their oors by Uncle Sam.
The rural free delivery system is en-
dorsed by the Republican party in it's
platform this year. The Democratic
platform makes no mention of it.
The farmers of the Eighth district
have reas on to know what Joseph w.
Fordney has done to establish free
rural delivery. They do not know
what AIR. Burt would do.

When Bryan was speaking at Ann
Arbor, Mich, Thursday, Oct. IL, some
one in the audience called out, How
about free silver?' and he replied as
follows:
ssWe are in favor of the free coinage
of silver at the ratio Of 10 TO i, with
out waiting for the aid or consent OF
any other nation on earth"
There it is-frce silver doctrine in
all it's danger, recklessness and fanatic
ism. Not a syllable of qualification or
caution. No hint of a safer ratio-no
suggestion OF securing the cooperation
of any other nation, but n reckless
plunge by this country, singlehanded
and alone, in an attempt 10 MAINTAIN
silver at double its actual value!
Angry men tell the truth. Nettled by
the timely and pertinent question,
Bryan let the cat completely out or the
bag. Stung by the keen reminder, he
dropped his campaign mask ana avow-
ed the full truth as men do sometimes
in their wrath as in their cups.
The alert citizen who propounded the
question at Ann Arbor, did well. He
surprised Bryan into declaring the truth
fully and plainly before the country.
AS the Democratic candidate had been
compelled by Jones, ct. al, TO hide
and dissemble his love for free silver
in o. policy game to be kept up until
the end of the campaign, it only re-
luired the sting and surprise or the
sud den question to bring out the burn
ny inner truth of Bryan's devotion
30 silver.
Bryan loves his silver dogma all the
more fanatically because he has had to
nurse il in silence. The surprise sprung
OF, him at Ann Arbor, shows how the
land lies. Believing in free silver as
absolutely and as ardently as ever,
Bryan will stop at nothing when the
opportunity comes to enforce that
policy in its most extreme and reckless
form.
In his speech at Owosso, Oct. 3,
last, wellington X. Burt, the Bryan
lite nominee for congress Ill the Eighth
district, warmly defended the Tree
silver clause, denounci ng what is
comm only termed by the Bryanites
..the crime of 49," and SAID that in
'94 he "was the only railroad presi-
dent in the United States except one
that came out and said this country
should use both gold and silver"
And he added that the free silver
issue sis the burning question tere
today"
Now, eople in the Eighth district
understand that this country is Using
both gold and silver, and what is
better still, is that the silver dollar
is as good as gold. If Bryan and Burt
had their way it would be worth just
fifty cents, and the purchasing power
of every dollar, in the hands Of the
"comm on people," as MIR. Burt calls
them, would be scaled down one-ha'f
which would be downright robbery to
every person who has dollar IN tie
savings banks, or anywhere else,
and Mr.. Burt is good enough bus
ness man to know it. The act OF
1873, which Mr.. Burt denounced in
his Owoss speech. did not demonetize
the silver then coined. 1t did poJ re-

Smith wanted to know whether Mr..

Mr. Smith, think it is, and at

has not ended the determination of
Mr.. Carlisle to do quite as much to

did to elect Mr.. Bruoker two years ago.
But the sore spots are not confined
to the Carlisle end of the outfit. 1t
is related by an eminent Democratic
authority to The Courier-Herald that
Hon. George w. Weadock was request
ed to preside at the meeting at tile

BURTs POLICY OF DIsHoNoR.

BURTS POLICY OF DISHONOR.
In his Owosso speech Mr.. Burt said:
II will raise my voice in every pos
sple way to get out of the Philip.
pines as quick as we can leave them
to take care OF themselves
Mr.. Burt knows, il he knows any
thing regarding the Paris treaty,
that the course-he advocates would
be palpable violation of the obli-
cations imposed upon the United
States under the provisions of that
treaty, which w. j. Bryan was in.
strumental in having ratified by the
senate OF the United States.
Under the provisions of that treaty
the United States for ten years guar
antees the admission Of Spanish ships
and merchandise to the ports of the
Philippine islands on the same terms
as ships and merchandise OF the United
States.
Will Mr.. Burt point out how that
provisions of the Paris treaty could
DO carried out by getting out OF the
Philippine islands, DIS he advocates?
The Paris treaty guarantees to the
Spanish people in the PHILIPPINES the
same rights as are applicable to other
foreigners.
How long would Aguinaldo and his
cutthroats carry out that guarantee
of the Paris treaty IL left to them.
selves?
The Paris treaty guarantees the
civil rights and political status Of
the native inhabitants of the
Philippines. How long would Aguinaldo
and his followers respect the rights
of the native inhabitants who have
accepted American rule?
The course which Mr.. Burt advo-
Gates would violate the solemn treaty
obligations or the United States. More
than that, it would result in rapine,
anarchy and merciless slaughter in
the islands, and foreign governments
would be forced to step in and as
sumo the obligations which Mr.. Burt
wants the United States to shame
lessly and cowardIy surrender.
Such a course would bring upon the
United States the contempt of every
civilized and enlightened nation in the
world.
The man who advocates such a policy
of disbonor is not the proper man to
represent the Eighth district in the
congress of the United States.

In his Owosso speech Mr.. Burt said !:

is having undue Influence over this
country. We appoint a man over there,
Secretary Hay, and he is about like

The local Bryanite outfit is not eX,
actly a happy family. F. w. Carlisle,
who has been accused of being the
county boss of the party, and who was
at the helm and shaped the county
nominating convention, has gone out
OF the "boss" business. He has sur
rendered the function TO Wellington II.
Burt. 1t is well known that Carlisle
and Burt have not Travelled in the
same class for some time. Carlisle
says that Burt is not Democrat and
is not entitled TO the support OF the
Democrats. 1t is charged that Burt
bolted the Democratic congressional
ticket two years ago, and contributed
largely to the defeat of Brucker. Mr..
Carlisle thought the way in which the
county convention was manipulated
would be the death knell to the pros
poets for the nomination of Burt for
congress, but the party thought Mr..
Burt had more money to put into the
campaign than did Carlisle, and SO Burt
was nominated. That was the straw
that broke the back of the tabled camel
with Carlisle, and lie came out fiat
footed against Mr.. Burt.
A little incident occurred the other
day which was told The Couried-Herald
in confidence, with the request that it
be not printed for the time being.
The request was complied with, but
the story leaked out and appeared in
part i'm the Detroit Journal later, and
this releases The Courier-Herald from
its obligation.
While Mr.. Carlisle was at breakfast
the other morning, his phone required
his attention. Mr.. Carlisle asked who
his caller was, and was told IL was
"Smitb." Carlisle answered that there
were a great many families Ivy the
