Mr.. BRYAN, In his speech at Madi-
son Square Garden, stated that he
had made no. attempt TO conceal his
views on the money question. 81
would be unworthy of your conf
fidenee," he said. II would be I'M
worthy of your support for any office
if my opinions should be changed to
suit an occasion or to win a vote. II
1 would surrender my convictions on
the money question in order to get
to be President, 1 might surrender
my convictions on the trust question,
on the army question and on i'm
perialism after got to be President.
But, my friends, while my views are
known on the money question, I
believe that questions Of government
are more important than questions
Of money. / believe that 1t is more
important that we should have a re-
public than that we shall have any
particular kind OF money standard"
Those who have been abusing Mr..
Bryan for not raising the money
question will now condemn him for
bringing up a dead issue"
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1900-11-02

THE HERALD believes and has
always believed, that Mr.. Bry an was
as fairly elected and as corrlptly
counted out, as Mr.. Tilden was. We
hav'nt the slightest doubt but that
he will be elected again. But
whether the Money Devil will allow
him to be seated. Is quite another
question. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan re-
celved 952,5 more votes than Mr..
Cleveland received in 1892, and Mr..
Cleveland was elected. Bryan re
ceived 90 832 more votes in Ohio
than Cleveland received, aud vet
according to the returns in 1892
Cleveland lacked only 100 votes of
carrying the State. Bryaa received
42,368 more votes in Kentucky in
1896 than Clevt land received in 1892
and yet the State was counted
for Cleveland in 1892 and for
Mckinley in 1896. One calling
himself Democrat, the other Re-
publican; but bo1h of them crea-
lures of the Money Devil. In In
diana Bryan received 42,lG2 more
votes than Cleveland; yet Indiana
was counted for Cleveland and
against Bryan. In Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky, Mr.. Bryan received
l54 1862 more votes in 1896 than Mr..
Cleveland received in 1892, but the
Money Devil counted all three of
those states for Cleveland and
against Bryan. If they had been
counted for Bryan, the electoral vote
in 1896 would have stood, Bryan 226,
Mckinley 22l. The party that stole
the election from Tilden and from
Bryan will steal 1t again If they can.
The only hope of the country is that
the Democrats, who are on their
guard, will be able to thwart them in
their purpose.

At Marysville, Ohio, they are hav-
ing quite an interesting murder trial.
The defense are relying upon the
plea Of "degeneracy," and to sub
stantiate this defense they are at
tempting to show that long inter.
marriage by the defendants ante
cedents have so weakened the
mental and moral characters of their
offspring that they are degenerates,
and not responsible for their acts.
The proof shows long line of in
termarriage in the family, and a
good many "queer" descendants and
some insanity. The defendants
grandmotbe married her uncle, and
his father and mother were first
cousins. Isn't it strange that peo
pie pay so little attention to blood
lines when they go to merry, and
yet lay so much stress upon a
blooded horse or cow or sheep OF
hog?

WE do not mean to complain at
Capt. RUSSELL for having his name
printed on all sorts of tickets; the
straight Republican ticket, the
quasi straight Prohibition ticket,
and the otherwise straight Demo-
cratic ticket. It is an old election
ruse, and Capt. Russell, who seems
not be overly choice about the po-
litical society he keeps, has as much
right to play it as anybody. But
what we wish to do is to caution our
Democratic friends against the mis-
taken use of one of Capt. Fussell's
tickets. We are not afraid that many
of them will vote it Intentionally
We do not want any of them to vote
it unintentionally. Read your ticket
before you vote. Read it clear
through. See that it has the names
of the Democratic electors on it,
See that 1t has Mr.. Nc Millin's name
on it; and Mr.. Padgett's name, and
the names of Capt. Lipscomb and
Judge Erwin and John Nelson. Be
sure to go to the polls. Don't lei
business or pleasure or bad weather
hinder you. 1t is duty you owe tC
your country, to posterity and your
self. Be sure you get hold of the
right ticket, and be sure you vote II
straight.

ONE set of scientists have incon-
powerfully established the fact that
malaria is solely communicated by
mosquito bites, and now another set
of scientists are trying to demon
strate that mosquitoes acquire the
malaria they spread, wholly from
biting men who are poisoned with
it. Pretty soon, this issue will be-
come parallel to the famous question
as to which existed first, the hen OIL
the egg?

TENNESSEE CROPS.
Reports From Eighty Three Counties
Indicate Short Yield.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Ost. 29.-Crop
reports have been received from
eighty-three counties by the State
Bureau of Agriculture. Figures in
dictate that crops will be short in
Tennessee this year, especially as to
cotton, wheat and corn. Wheat will
be atrifie over 81 per cent. Early in
the season wheat was damaged by
incessant rains and ravages of hes
sian fly. Corn will average twenty
seven bushels to the acre. Cotton
will average about $50 pounds to the
acre, and the highest yield so far re-
corded being from Crockett, 625
POUNDS, and Dyer and White coun-
ties, where the figures show an aver
age yield of 900 pounds to the acre.
The years peanut crop will run
forty-one bushels to the acre.

WILLIAM NEWMAN, a prominent
member of the Republican County
Committee of New York, has left

IT is worthy of recollection that
Senator Lodge, Foraker, Wolcott
and Thurston asserted on the floor
of the Senate some two years ago
that they wanted no subject races,
and that they mad no idea of perma-
nently holding the Philippines; that
the Filipinos were entitled to free
government of their own making
and that any departure from these
lines would be subversive of the
principles Of our Government.
However, things have changed since
then.

NEW YORK, heretofore known as
the "enemy's country" has either
changed its politics, or else it has a
most enthusiastic way of Disgusting
its enmity. No man on earth ever
received more rapturous reception
than Mr.. Bryan was given Ia
New York. The people followed
him about with idolatrous worship,
and hung upon his words as though
they were inspired.

Now it is up to Grover again. The
Philadelphia Times reporter makes
affidavit that his Landslide" inter-
view with Mr.. Cleveland was cor
rectly reported. But after all, what
difference does it make? What does
Grover Cleveland, discredited and
disgruntled "has BEEN" know about
the future result of campaign in
which be has taken 20 part! His
prophesy, either for Bryan or Nc
Kinley, docs not amount to hill of
beans.

THE silent vote this fall will be
larger than for years past. Hun
dreds upon hundreds of voters are
still hanging in the balance between
conflicting doubts and impulses, and
whichever way they vote, the cleo
ton will go, If any considerable ma
jority of them vote the same way
1t is folly for anyone to claim thai
there is any certainty about the re.
suit yet.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY's royal
person has to be guarded, for fear of
some anarchist or communist or
crank. VIM. J. Bryan steps from
the cars into the midst of such
crowds as Mckinley never saw, and
is jostled by them, and elbows his
way through them, with never a
fear. Why this difference? In Nc
Kinley's person is represented the
Empire idea. Bryan stands for a
free Republic. The people despise
the one and love the other.

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN JONES
Endorses Richard Cookers vigorous

WHY not make next Monday
day to be remembered? We have
not had much political diversion this
year; suppose we give day to it.
Messrs. Carmack and Padgett, two
of the ablest political deba tiers 10
the state, will be here to entertain the
crowd; the Opera House has been
engaged, 80 that the ladies may come
and be comfortable; the crowd will
be here, so why not you be one of it
and meet friends you have not seen
for months, and have a good time?
Mr.. Carmack w ho Is in great demand
not only by the State Committee
but by the National Committee as
well, refused several other fiattering
calls to accept an urgent one from
this people and wind this campaign
up at his old home. Let's make him
glad of it by the warm reception we
give him. For his age he is perhaps
the best known man in political cir
cles in the South. and ranks as high
as any in craftsmanship and politi-
cal debate. He will soon take his
seat in the Senate beside the great
men of the Nation. He has been
accorded ovations wherever he has
been this summer. In short, he Is
worth hearing, and he deserves a
great OVERLOOKING crowd; let's give
to him what he deserves, and enjoy
the treat of his elcqueuce, his hum or
and his logic.

"The name of Capt. ]. H. Russell
must appear on every republican
ballot cast in this congressional dis
tIict on November 9. While 1t Is
true he Is making the congressional
race as an independent candidate,
republicans must remember he Is
being opposed by democratic nomi-
nee, who represents Organism in
every sense Of the word, and that
the failure of a republican tn vote
for Capt. Russell, will be one-half

CONGRESSIONAL RACE

Our esteemed contemporary the
Lawrence Union, the Republican
organ for this Congressional district
is whooping 1t up for who lasts the
longest for Capt. Russell for Con-
gress. The Union takes 1t for grant
ed that all the "truly loil" who vote
will vote for the Captain, but there
seems to be doubt az to whether
they will all vote or not; and upon
that point the Union warns them
that failure to vote is a half vote
for democrat.
What Capt. RUSSELL is, politically,
his organ does not say. HE Is max
ing the race as an independent"
says the Union, but mind you he ia
simply 'making the race" that way.
And he is making 1t against one who
represents Organism in every sense
of the word" Now that is pointer.
II Capt. Fussell's organ is fighting
Padgett because of his Organism, 1t
must be supporting his opponent be-
cause of his McKinleyism, as these
are the paramount isms now agita-
ting the country. 1t is extremely
hard to diagnose the political creed
Of man who has neither party nor
platform, but the Union is evidently
under the impression that Capt.
Russell is against anything and
everything that Mr.. Padgett is for
There would be no sense or reason for
the Union to advise its brother Re.
publicans to support Bryan man
to beat a Bryan man. Its purpose
being to defeat Organism, the logical
conclusion is that its candidate Ii
opposed to Bryanism. That indeed
is a very clean cut issue, upon which
our Democratic friends and the I'm
ions Republican friends, shoulc
easily decide.
But Capt. Fussell's Republican or
gan does not stop there. 1t tells III
specifically some things that may b,
expected of its candidate. IF he il
elected he will stand by the admin
istration in its foreign policy
Really now we are glad the Uniol
told us, because we have frequentl!
been asked the question, and did'n
know The answer. He stands for
100 cent dollar" Does he? Wei
that's news indeed! Silver Demo
Gratis will vote accordingly.

 A Curious Lawsuit.

A curious lawsuit is in piogress as Kansas City, Kan, brought by s. K. Howe against the Armour Packing company, to recover fourteen acres of river front occupied by the packing houses. The old man tells veritable Robinson Crusoe story. Many years ago he took up his abode op little islaud in the Missouri river, living In 3 hut with a dog and a few fowls for his only companions. He was lord of the domain, and no one questioned the fact Finally the stream changed it's course, and what was an Island became valuable river front, and the Armour company forced hlm off.
