An Appeal to the candidates For U. s
Senator.

Within the last two weeks ! have
been called by business into num-
Der of counties, some in the Eighth
and others in the Ninth Congress
sfonal Districts. In every one or
these counties I have found the inter-
est increasing amongst Democrats in the
Senatorial contest and decreasing cor
respondingly in the Congressional and
Presidential contests. We have reached
a point now where crowd of Democrats
discuss nothing but the chances OF Sen
atorial aspirants and are daily entering
into disputes which are becoming more
angry and excited.
| have not so far declared or worked Tor
any one of the contestants. therefore
appeal to all of the aspirants to signify
their assent to the postponement OF the
primary till the first Tuesday in December,
so as to allow their friends the greatest
room for activity, without the possibility
of detriment to Mr. Bryan or OF inJurlng
the chances of the Democratic party TO
control the next House of Representa-
tives | take it for granted that II the
aspirants will rise to the height or the
occasion and ask postponement, the
Executive Committee will not hesitate TO
assume authority to appoint another DAY
for the Urinary. There will be no one
to complain, as such patriotic action on
the part of every candidate would close
the mouths of all who might be inclined
to object. If we lose either the Eighth
or Ninth Congressional Districts, or en-
danger Bryan's success in the STATE, IL
will be due to the fact that THIS contest
has started Democrats to quarrellng with
each other instead of presenting united
front to an active foe. The contest pc
tween Ransom and Jarvis unquestionaply
swelIed the fusion vote and helped the
fusionists to defeat the Democratic party.
There would have been spirited opposition
not to holding primary, but to holding
if at the time of an election but for the
fact that the platform was passed after
daylight in the morning, when two-thirds
of the delegates were worn out.

HILL SPEAKS IN 2ooKLYN.
He Defends the Constitution Against the IS
saults Of the Republicans.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. david B. Hill was
the principal speaker at the Academy of
Music Brooklyn, tonight, the occasion be-
ing the opening of the Democratic cam
paign in Kings county. Comptroller Bird
s. Coler, who had been scheduled to pre-
side over the meeting was unable to at
tend. The hall was crowded to it's capa-
city. A telegram of regret was read from
Mr. Golfer. after which Mr. Hill makes his
appearance upon the platform, and he was
greeted with q storm of applause. He
said in part:
'sIt is the contention of the Democratic
marty that the Constitution is and must
be supreme over every portion of our
country. Hence there can be no such thing
as an American colony belonging to the
United States and over which our Consti-
tuition has no Jurisdiction. Such a situa-
tion is impossible under our form of gov
eminent. But the attempt of the National
Administration to hold the Philippine is
lands against the consent of their people,
has led to the PRONUNCIATION of a new doc
trine in American affairs, which insists
upon the establishment of system of
colonial governments over conquered or
purchased possessions. This position is
unprecedented, unwarranted and revolu-
tionary
''Yet as we have seen. this is the Re
publican contention as to territorial gov
eminent and is the proposed Republican
program rs to colonies. Then 1T would
follow that citizen of New York journey
ing in a territory or in a newly establish
ed American colony, would not be entitl-
cd, if arrested, to the privilege of habeas
corpus, could not legally demand jury
trial, need not be confronted with the wit
nesses against him and could be sentenced
to cruel and unusual punishments; in
short. he could be deprived of
nearly all the rights and privi-
leges which an American citizen of State
now enjoys under the guarantees of our
Federal Constitution"
MAKES VOTES IN THE NORTHWEST.
A special from Duluth to the Baltimore
Sun says:
Democratic leaders in Minnesota are
practically united in the opinion that
Governor Lind will carry the State, but
the electoral vote may go to Mckinley
Here and in North Dakota several of the
best campaigners are Swedes and Norweg-
ians who voted for Mckinley four years
ago and who volunteered to take the
stump for Bryan this year, making
speeches in their own languages. None of
this kind of work was done four years ago
In North Dakota there are 20 Scandinay-
ian Bryan clubs, where there were none
in 1896.
Through the States Mr.. Bryan has Wis
tied since he left Lincoln, Republicans ad-
NIT that there is considerable apathy in
their ranks, but attribute it to the fact
that the campaign is too young yet.

WHAT THIS CRY FOR
A VAST ARMY MEANS
Continued from first page.)

MANY of them are determined to study
public questions and vote according to
their convictions. Continuing, he said;
Certainly you have repaid the present
Republican leaders for all that they have
done for your race. So far as offices are
concerned you have bestowed presidencies
upon the Republican party and received
ianitorships in return. So far as legis-
lation is concerned you have been the vic
TINS of the same policies which have
injured the white man. More of your
race are engaged in the production of cot
ton than in any other industry, and yet
the cotton growers, without receiving any
benefit from high tariff when they sell
their product, suffer from the imposition
Of high tariff duties when they buy.

Ernest Seton Thompson, author OF

an interesting question as to the rela-
tive value of domestic animals and
human Inventions.
AT the beginning of this century
the continent of North America was
one vast and teeming game range.
Not only were the buffalo in millions
across the Mississippi, but other large

less conspicuous Herds of elk, mum.
bering ten or fifteen thousand, were
commonly seen along the upper Mis-
souri,. The antelope ranged the high
plains in herds of thousands; white
tail deer, though less gregarious, were
seen In bands of hundreds; while big
horn sheep, though still less disposed
to gather in large ioeks, were rarely
out of sight in the lower parts of the
eastern Rockies, and it was quite
usual to see several hundred blacktail

eer Americans, with their horses,
their deadly rifles their energy and
their taste for murder, began to IN
wade the newly found west. The set
tiers increased In numbers. and the
rifles became more deadly each year;
but the animals did not improve In
speed, cunning or fecundity In an
equal ratio, and so were defeated In
the struggle for life. and started on
the down grade toward extinction.
Aside from sentimental or esthetie
reasons, which | shall not here dis

the balance Of nature by removing
