BRYAN On Success.

Among the many admirable sen.
tlments to which Mr.. Bryan has
given utterance none are better
than the following taken from his
introduction to the "Life and Times
ofRichard Parks Bland' just issued.
Mr.. Bland's life was success.
He did not amass a fortune. But
he measures life by low standard
who estimates successby the dollars
either received or saved. Many,
without possessing real merit, have
secured great wealth by inheritance
or by accident; while many have
saved dwarfng themselves, stinting
those dependent upon them, and
withholding from society that con-
tribution which is due from the
more favored to the less fortunate.
He left his impress upon the age
IN which he lived and gave back to
society full compensation for all
the honors he received. To the
members of his party his life was
an inspiration; to hls immediate
family it IS an inheritance more
valuable and more permanent than
lands OF bonds.
"a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches, and low
ing favor rather than silver and
gold"

For some time prior to the election

candidate for governor OF Missouri:
"Joe Flory is beginning to wish

Why Mr.. Mckinley Is Unfit.

Mckinley is totally unfit for the Office
of president because he is so weak and
yacillating that he can't stick to an
opinion over night. Il he could know
his own mind and be consistent for
twenty-fopr hours at time, he might
do, but such thing ID Impossible with
him, and for that reason he is unfit to
be president, ,--6enator Wellington.

Hon. Marsh Arnold.


Hon. Marsh Arnold of Benton,
who has beea styled "the little giant
of Southe asst Missouri" was IN the
city this week looking for house
to rent that his family could spend
the summer in this city; he failed
to get one as there is not o vacant
house in town. He gave this Office
a pleasant call. In speaking of the
political outlook Mr.. Arnold said
he was out of politics now, but that
he thought the state ticket a par
tlculariy strong one aud one that
would poll the full Democratic vote.
Mr.. FlorY is making the same kind
of q campaign that Mr.. Warner
made and be will succeed in carry
ing the state just about like Mr..
Warner did. Mr. Dockery is popu-
lar with the masses, statesman
and the strongest man that could
have beon nominated. AS far aa
the national ticket is concerned,
there is no doubt as to the result.
Bryan al d Stephenson will be cleo
ted beyond a doubt; the people are
tired Of the vascilating policy Of
the McHanna administration and
will make q change. Yon stick a
pin in this prediction, Bryan will
be the next president Of these Upi-
ted States. Fredericktown Demo.
