pressed in the following prOgnostioa-

ton:
The more rain the less pops.
IF it ever formulated q continuous
political dogma 1t is expressed in these
words:
More taxatlonl the foreigner pays
the tariff.
IF it ever reiterated one plank in
its platform more than twice it is:
The republican party Is the author
Of prosperity.
If 1t ever stole democratic thunder
to view with alarm, it was in these
clamorous words:
Beware! poisoni skull and cross
bones! Democracy and business stag
nation go hand in hand.
Its s@gis is the flag.
Its war cry-boodle.
Its generalissimo-prosperity.
Its psnsces-tariff.
Its neutrality-suspicious..
Its power-the machine.
Its allies-trusts.
Its motto-expansion.
Its hope-lmperialism.
Its God-gold.
During it's forty years of sway, the
party changed principles as readily as
j. Ralph Burton changed suits of
clothes at Philadelphia, and never
lacked for admirers in its guazlest
dress.
The republican party can IN the
twinkliRg of an eye change its make
up to personate the lead in any farce,
because its auditors from pit to gal
lery are there to cheer. No burlesque
Of government from Grants whisky
ring to McKinleY's postal brigsndism
can stale the party's admiration.
From stsr-route to embslmed beef, its
path is strewn with flowers.
It sends imbecIles to the senate and
philosophers to the ssylums, fools to
congress and statesman to the plow
Young man, be a republican. Fol-
low its lucky star. KISS the hem of
Liberty's garment though 1t trails
over blood and carcas of slaves who
would be free.
Old man, be a republican. Your
dotage will not then be noticeable
among party stocked with childish
baubles and senile absurditles. It is
party especially fitted to your cspao-
ity, because both of you forget the
promises made yesterday; both of you
fail to remember the declaration of
principles made the other day. It Is
q loquaeious party, full of its rebel
lious youth; a gsrrulous party, boast
full Of it's lineage and of its dead; an
oritorlcsl party, full of wind, when
considering it's soap-bubble age or its
era of bladders bursting to keep
aflost.
Turn to the republican party for q
precedent IN anything either good or
bad. It has given the world Lincoln
and Mckinley, bimetslllsm and the
gold standard, Grant and Agulnslda,
Cuba and the Philippines, replete
treasury and bonds, mlllionaires and
tramps. homesteeds and corporations,
Garfield and Gulteau, 2-cent postage
and trusts, piece of an angels wing
kitad TO section of the devils tail.
You can be anything, yet republic
lean.

BE A REPUBLICAN,.
From the Norton Champion.

From the Norton Champion.
A man ought to DO q republican.
A man with an opinion, having the
courage to express 1t, can safely be
a republican.
If the opinion expressed chances to
be endorsed by subsequent events, he
may pose as a prophet and leader Of
the times.
If the opinion disagrees with the
platform he may change his ideas and
eulogize the party for its progressive
tendency, saying at the same time
that the democratic party never learns
anything and therefore never changes.
Another convenience Of being Ee-
publican-one need have no Opioion.
It requires none. Indeed, 1t snCOur-
ages reticence. The party wants votes,
not ideas. Really the reverse Is
true, and that shows how words nsy
be twisted around to say cOntEAdiO-
tory things-the party does not want
for votes, but is in desperate want in
the commodity Of ideas.
The republican party has not had
an original idea of government since
ats organization. At the outset it was
an abolition party-without an idea
as to how the abolition OF slavery was
to be secured.
The accident of war put in its way
bluff played to secure peace, which
bluff was not called and the enanci-
patton followed. It is, IN fact, and
has been, a party Of luck. Every dis
aster has been Its element Of boom.
Wars, drouths, electoral commissions,
murders, hard times, industry. stAgna-
ton, gold, silver, greenbacka, tariff,
reciprocity. and free trade have work
ed benefits to the republican party.
Its luck is phenomenal. Therefore,
we reiterate man ought to be . re-
publican. It hes down pat the game
of politlcs-heAds, it wins; tails, the
the other party loses.
We have heard it's orators for years,
orators with words and voices, but
with beggarly ideas.
These orators have told Us in years
OF distress that the republican party
as not responsible for droughts, hot
winds, crop failures and disasters TO
industry consequent thereon. We
heard them deClAim that the republi.
can party cannot legislste prosperity.
that it cannot make men rich by law.
that it is not party Of rainmsksrs.
We have heard them, in a contra
dictory mood, eulogizs the republican
party for our prosperity, our good
crops, for the good prices secured on
these crops, for the boom on the mill
wheels, and the pie in the lsborinG
mans dinner pail.
It WINS! such argument win.
IF the party ever approached lucid
interval and its thought ever reflected
the shadow Of hay ides, it was ex'

ADALI e. STEVENSON, democratic
nominee for vice-president was born
in Kentucky in 1885. He was farm
er's boy. His father a staunch Pres
byteriRn, named him Adali. taking the
name from the bible word meaning
'just." Both Bryan and Stevenson
got through school by hard knocks.
He studied hard and worked hard to
secure the money TO pay for course
of study. He got his genuine Ameri-
csnism from ancestry and early en-
vironment and training. One of his
forefsthers wrote the first declaration
of independence. It is an appropri-

learned with surprise that she had
been admitted to the bar, asked some
thing sarOastically with what line OF
law she was most familiar.
Domestic relations, sir" came the
answer, as sharp as the snap of
whip.
Mrs. Bryan is brown-eyed, brown
haired little woman whose head comes
just about to her husbands shoulder.
She hes q pleasant, oval face and a
trim figure. As might be suspected.
she cares little for society. She has
had no time for teas and functions,
bat probably she would enjoy ration
al amount of secIal life If she had the
leisure. She is certainly not unsoci-
able.
While Mr.. Bryan was a congress-
man he and his wife lived IN a small
quiet boarding house near the capitol.
In those days she dressed simply in
greys and brown and blacks. Her
dresses were often of unfashionable
cut. In short, she was said to be old
fashioned. But today Mrs. Bryan Is
well dressed. While her gowns are
as modest as ever in color, and gen.
orally severely plain, they are we'll
made and do full justice to her trim
figure. So during the present CAM
paign, If you see nstty little woman
with q shspely head of brown hair,
we'll gowned, we'll gloved and we'll
booted-if yoa see such a woman on
public platform where the demo
GRATIS nominee for president Is speak
ing to cheering audience. or catch q
glimpse of her IN a~camrsign car. you
may know that she is Mrs. Bryan, and
you may be sure that those brown eyes
are taking notes of all that is going
on.

PECK's STORY.
Talks In Detail About Himself and
His Crime.

The details in Peck's confession, as
contained in the stenographic report
secured for Prosecuting Attorney
Wannmaker, have not yet been writ
ten out, nor will the report be com,
pleted soon. Desiring to allay If pos,
sible, the public sentiment against the
negro. Prosecutor Wanamaker Is desir'
Gus of withholding from the public as
much of the evidence as he can, be-
lieving that to publish all, would arouse
too much sentiment against the pris-
oner. That evidence which the Pros
ecutor does not care to have published,
is not fit for publication, any way. 1t
relates to the methods employed by
the fiend in accomplishing his de-
sign.
According to his story, told to Prls
onkeepcr Washer, and Prosecutor Wan
amaker, Lewis Peck is 30 years old,
has wife and one son. He came
to this city from Garrettsville o., last
February. He and his family lived at
the corner of Mill and High SITS. Peck
worked Mt some of the rubcr plants,
and was employed at the Bank cafe.
He acted fraudently, when he hired
the livery rig, telling the liveryman TO
charge the bill to MIR. Kocrber. when
he had no authority to make such q
statement.
