Mr.. Bryan's Address to the Clubs.
Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows:

Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows:
Il appreciate the work done and being

of Democratic clubs, and l appreciate the
energy, the enthusiasm and the ability
displayed by Mr.. Hearst the president
of the association. believe in these clubs.
The work of Democracy, being work
for the people, must be done by the peo-
pie. We need the clubs to help us to
collect money to carry on our campaign.
The Republican party can get it's money
from the corporations, which plunder the
people between campaigns in return for
the money contributed during campaigns.
1--WE cannot go to a trust and ask it to
help us, because we do not expect TO
help it. The Republican party does not
collect money for it's National campaign
from one Republican out of hundred,
and when the election is over ninety nine
out of one hundred Republicans have
nothing to say about the running of the
Government.
eve expect that the Administration
will be conducted in behalf of the great
mass of the American people and we
have the right to call upon them to help
with their money as well as their votes
to win this fight which is their fight
and not our fight. We need the clubs to
help circulate literature. If every mem
ber of the clubs will pick out some ac-
quaintance and find out what he is think
ing about, prepare to meet his arguments,
supply him with literature and work for
his conversion. the members of these

much can be done. We need the clubs

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 4.-The hall in
which was assembled the National AS
sociation of Democratic Clubs was throng-
cd with people this afternoon, probably
preached for the advent of Mr. Bryan

hall thronged to a degree almost of suffo-

spoke, deling with the working man from
political standpoint. He said labor is
the foundation of liberty in all the world
Mr.. Sovereign was followed by Bishop
]. Milton Turner, Minister to Liberia un-
der Grants Administration, who spoke
briefly and in part as follows:
- great many of my race who formed
the majority of the negro population of
the United States twenty five years ago
have already been promoted and have
gone to their good Christian fathers, but
the boys are coming forth in teeming
hundreds and thousands from that palla-
dium and safeguard of American institu-
tions, the public school system of our
country, and, unlike Uncle Tom and Aunt
Sally, they are doing their own thinking,
like other young Americans, for them
selves We come with a fresh born, dis
interested patriotism to put forth our
might at this time in the States of In
diana, Ohio, Illinois, New York and New
Jersey and other States where we have
been making the Presidents for the last
twenty-five or thirty years, and we think
this time, through our boys, we will be
able to make up such quota for the
election of William ]. BI7an that he will
elect this ticket without any possibility
of Mckinley defeating it,
AS Bishop Turner concluded Mr.. Bryan
appeared upon the platform. He had
reached the city few minutes before 3
o'clock, but did not arrive at the hall
until Ais o'clock. He was escorted
through the streets by a number of
marching clubs. AS soon as the Demo-
cratic National candidate appeared on the
platf0rm there was a wild shout of greet
ing, and this soon developed into dem
Onstration which continued for about six
minutes, until, indeed, there was a call
for cessation from Mr.. Bryan himself.
The speech was literally applauded
throughout, and when it was concluded
there was a rush to the stage on the
part of those in the audience who wished
to shake hands with him. He, however,
avoided this demonstration and soon
found his way back to the hotel.

Osition before pronouncing for or

ed to give our views on the sub
ject. In this issue we give the

is very creditable to the under
standing of the President. If you
have THE TRIBUNE of March 10,
please compare the first article
on the first page with the first
article on the first page of this
issue. We would not like to saw
right out that the President was
waiting to see how we would
look at it, but it is a suspicious
fact that he did not change his
mind until two week after we
explained things. But let that
go. The thing to do is to care
fully read the long article on the
first page, and give it candid con-
sideration. You will then see
that there is no ground upon
which any one can object to the
Porto Rican tariff, except it be
Democrats and Republicans who
cherish resentment against the
President and the Republican
party.

PIONEER DISTRICT.

A good many farmers are
anxious to know what is being
done by the directors of the
Pioneer Irrigation district looking
to furnishing water this season.
The directors are doing all that
can be done. The law does not
seem to provide any method
whereby the directors can secure
control of irrigation works except
by construction or absolute pur-
chase and either of these would
be impossible Of contamination in
time for this season. 1t has there
fore been arranged fo1 the pres"
snt owners of the Phyllis plant to
make all necessary provisions for
the distribution of water this
season, in such a manner as will
make it feasible for the district
TO assume charge at any time
during the season, provided the
people should conclude to Pur-
chase. On account of the
absence of Mr.. Howard Sebree,
no arrangement has been made
respecting the Caldwell canal,
but an effort along that line will
be made at an early date.

FooLIN0 THEMSELVES,

All the Democratic press and
some Republican papers that
went off half-cocked, but are too
proud to acknowledge it, are try
ing to make out that the Porto
Rican tariff is going to be a great
question in the coming campaign.
They are simply fooling them
selves. There is not enough
involved in the Porto Rican tariff
question to make an issue in a
nonpartisan village election, un-
less, of course, the Democrats
want to raise the constitutional
questions involved. They are
very liable to weaken on that
proposition though. That was
not their purpose when they set
up the claim that as a matter of
constitutional right Porto Rico
should have free trade. Their
idea was that on account of the
great public sympathy for Porto
Rico, they could force the Repub-
lcans into a sort of acquiesence
in that doctrine. Then wouldn't
they have fun though? They
would say, and truthfully, if that
part of the Constitution which
provides that their shall be no
tariffs between States, has by its
own force gone out and located
itself in Porto Rico, so has every
other part of the Constitution,
because there is the same vitality
in one part of the Constitution as
any other. And if the Constitu-
tion OF lis own force becomes
in one of our possess |
sions, so it must in all the others; |
and, finally, if the Constitution |
has gone out to those islands of |
the sea, so have all general laws
Of this United States. Then it
follows that all the peoples of
hose islands are full-fledged citi-
sens, and guaranteed q republican
torm of government. Then the
Democrats would point to those
half savages with rings in their
noses, and breechclouts, and ask
he voters what they thought of
heir new fellow citizens, and
whether or not they wanted any
expansion9 But the scheme fail
ID, and that is why there is SO
much kicking.

THE FINANCIAL Law,

Those who are DESTROYS of get
ting at the truth of things, will
recall that during the last four
years the principal argument in
favor of voting the Democratic
ticket has been that the RepubR -
cans, if given power, would fastea
the gold standard on the people
and thereby work the ruin of the
country. Now, it is in order to
watch for the fulillment of that
prediction. The gold standard is
on the people, and while it NAV
not always remain there, there is
no reason to think thatit will be
very soon removed. Under the
laws Of the United States. the
unit OF value is the gold dollar,
and every and all ether forms OF
money are receivable into gold
and must be maintained on an
equality with it. This is the
principal feature of the new finan-
cial law, and is to be regarded as
the basis upon which will rest its
success or failure. Other impor-
tant provisions are (first) a re-
funding arrangement by which

was defeated. In 1893, the Sill
Republicans and Democrats fused
in the State election. At this
point Mr.. Borah broke with the
Silver Republicans. He told
them in effect that while he had
sacrificed most of his former po-
litical affiliations and subordinated
nearly all the political principles
he believed in because he hoped
thereby to accomplish something
for silver, he would make no
such sacrifice for mere office get.
ting purposes. To this resolu-
ton he was steadfast, and refused
to take any part in the campaign
of 1895. Last week the DEMO-
Gratis straight, Democrats with
weak Republican tendencies and
Democrats with a little more than
normal Populistic flavor, met at
Boise and resolved into original
elements; that is, all became
Democrats without qualification,
whereupon Mr.. Borah announced
that he would return to the Re-
publican party, as he was not
prepared 10 make an absolute re-
nunciation of all his political con-
victions for no other practical
purpose than the uplifting of De-
mocracy. In 1896 the under
standing was clear and distinct
that the corporation of Republi-
cans and Democrats went only to
the silver question; but in 1900
Mr.. Bryan calls for union of
reform forces to oppose the pro-
tective tariff and battle against
expansion. Mr.. Borah is a pro-
tectionist and an expansionist.
Mr.. Jones, Chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee,
urges a "thorough and complete
union," for what? Free coinage7
BY no means; but to "oPPose i'm
PertakiSm." And he frankly tells
the members of the union that it
is under the Democratic banner
that all must finally muster. Mr..
Borah simply refuses to envelop
himself in the Democratic banner
for such purposes. AS might be
expected, the Democrats are all |
denouncing him for treason, vac |
lllation, and all sorts of moral |
crimes and mental weaknesses,
but that does not count for any
thing. All over the country are
prominent gold Democrats who
say they are willing to support
Bryan now because it is beyond
MS power to do one thing for sill
YER Is not Mr.. Borah amply
justified in taking that same view?
Why should any man who pro-
esses Republication to any de-
gree support Democrat who,
" his own party, is accounted
'owerless to accomplish the only
hing for which any Republican
;ould support him7 The same
easoning which impels gold
Democrats to support Organism
warrants Republicans in aban-
Ioning it. All fairminded men
will applaud Mr.. Borah's course :

THE CITY TICKETS.

AT a meeting of the represen-
tatiye Republicans of Caldwell
held last week, it was decided
that the Republicans, as Repub-
licans, would not take any part
in the city election. This con-
clusion was arrived at after a
friendly discussion of all the
points involved. Later, general
meetings were held, and tickets
nominated which are emineatly
satisfactory to the Republicans,
and in the main, we suspect, COM
posed of identically the same men
that the Republicans themselves
would have selected. There is
now no contest except on the
mayorality and councilman from
the thifd ward, Mr.. T. K. Little
is matched for mayor against DR..
Isham, both are substantial, en-
terprising business men thorough
ly identified with the growth and
development of the place. Both
are we'll qualified, and each will
carry a strong personal following.
In the third ward Mr.. S. B. De-
ment is opposed for councilman
against Mr.. D. d. Campbell.
Here again are two excellent men,
each well fitted to fill the position
for which he has been named.
Asto the remainder of the tick
cts, it is unnecessary TO say much.
They are all alike in every par
ticular. Leo w, Bach by his
able and conscientious discharge
of duty has been unanimously en-
dorsed for another term as clerk.
He is certainly entitled to the dis
tinction. Of course, A. Green
lund was nominated by acclama-
ton of the whole town. AS a |
repository of public monies he is |
without a peer. His election |
is practically assured. DR.. w. c. |
Stalker, during his term as council
man has so satisfactorily acquitted
himself that the first ward felt the
only thing to do was to renomi-
nate and elect him for another
term. Mr.. S. D. Hartkopf wilt
take the place made vacant by
the removal af Mr.. .. r. Shaw,
and the fact that Mr.. Hartkopf
will be the councilman from the
second ward reconciles us in a
great measure, to Mr.. Shaw's de-
parture. Mr.. Hartkopf is a con-
scientious, level-headed man;
and speaking for the second
ward, we believe we may say,
he is perfectly satisfactory to ev-
cry man, woman and child in it.
Judge George Little has been
unanimously nominated for police
magistrate, which is high tri-
butte to his worth and popularity.
Mr.. Ed. Hedden, who, we believe,
8 the only Democratic candidate
n the field, has also received
unanimous endorsement and is
worthy of it. With this brief re- t
