ton with Henry Youtsey the latter de-
elared that Goe5el would be killed He
told Governor Bradley what Youtsey
had said and Bradley replied: MY
God, this must not be done" At an
other time Youtsey said he had the
greatest scheme yet; that Goebel could
be shot from the secretary of states

who did it. After the assassination
Youtsey wanted Culton to declare they
were together in the house lobby at
the time.

Four Republican PIattormu.
from the New York World


Republican Conventions in the four
States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Wisconsin adopted platforms last week.
All of them excepting Wisconsin formally
demanded McKinley's denomination. and
by logical influence Wlsconson's platform
did also.
The platform adopted in the Presidents
own State, where the Convention was
personally conducted" by Senator Han
ns, makes the most interesting exposition
of Republican policy toward our new
island possessions.
1t afirms that the sovereignty acquired
from Spain over the Philippines "must
not be repudiated, and the high purpose
Of its origin must be accomplished in the
establishment of peace and order and the
blessings of individual liberty among the
peoples of the Philippine Islands
Individual liberty ~ Not national
liberty of their own under our protection,
nor American liberty under our constitu-
ton. bat just individual (which
means whatever degree and kind Of limited
liberty carpet-bag colonial government
appointed by Mr.. McKinIy after the Porto
Rico pattern choose to offer them.
And yet this plank in the Ohio platform
while denying the people of the Philippines
any status except that of a subject people,
acquired by mixture Of purchase and
conquest, starts out by impudently inyok-
ing the principle ION which Abraham Lin
coin was elected President
Abraham Lincoln, though dead, is still
speaking against any such policy. His
famous declaration stands: NO man is
good enough to govern another man With
out that other mans consent.n

Cannot Support Mckinley AGAIN

Cannot Support Mckinley Again.
Letter of Capt. Patrick oFarrel of Washington
TO Senator Hoarl.
l am an old-time Republican, and an
abolitionist at that, who fought during the
late civil war for the principles of Wash-
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln. 1 want
your speech for the facts therein. They
show the duplicity and treachery of
William Mckinley, for whom 1 spent
eight weeks on the stump. Your speech
shows further that the next election will
determine whether we shall retain our
liberty, or do as Rome did go into the
imperial business. l must, however, dissent
from your logic and from your advice to
continue TO support the, Republican party,
as long as it marches under the banner of
imperialism.
1 honestly believe that, in order to pre-
serve liberty, it is essential that the honest
and manly Republicans who still adhere to
the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution should use all their efforts in
the next campaign to defeat Mckinley and
the Republican party by supporting VIM.
j. Bryan, who, no matter how we Repub-
licans may differ with his free silver and
tariff theories, yet can agree with him on
the greater and paramount questions of
imperialism. The question is, whether we
shall continue as republic, or go into the
colonial business and convert the stars and
stripes into an emblem of Imperialism.
Again I say, as an old-time abolitionist
who shed my blood on the battlefelds of
this country, fighting for liberty, I must
protest against your theory and advice,
that ! should become the slave of party by
continuing to support it, right or wrong
The cry in the coming campaign should be:
Bryan and republican liberty" against
Mckinley and imperial tyranny" and
have every confidence that liberty will
win,

The Philippine Death aoll.

Some interesting deductions can be
drawn from the figures just published by
the War Department showing the mortal.
ity among American troops in the Philip.
pines from July 1, 1898. when the first
United States soldiers reached Manila
until April q, 1900. says the Bulletin.
During this period forty-three officers
and five hundred and fifty-two men were
killed Or died of wounds received in bat
tie. Twenty-six officers and sixteen hun.
dred and thirty-fye men died of disease in
the same time.
Thus it appears that while insurgeni
bullets have slain total of five hundred
and ninety-fve Americans, various forms
Of Illness most of which are inseparable
from existence in tropical regions, have
ended the lives of sixteen hundred and
sixty-one wearers of the army uniform
The fatal casualties from the Philippine
climate have been almost three times as
numerous 40 those inflicted By the weapons
of AguinaIdo's followers.
This record does not take into account
the large number of men who have been
wounded and have survived their injuries
or the list Of inyaIids now in the hospitals
Mt Manila and other points. Inasmuch az
many of the wounded men will probably
be more or less crippled fer the rest of their
lives, information in this respect would
baye been valuable.
